Beats are definitely a strong point of the album. Bun follows up the intro with a speakerbox-rattling bounce and a rhythmic chant of "Bun...Bun...Bun..." A sped up soul sample flows through the distinctly Texan-sounding Pushin', a drug dealing anthem. Even Lil Jon drops by to lace Trill Recognize Trill to nice effect.

Guests abound on this album, and for the most part, contribute positively to it. One look at the guest list is enough to see that Bun commands respect in the south. Standout performances include Luda on Trill Recognize Trill, a cast including Pimp C, Jay-Z, Jeezy, and Z-Ro on Get Throwed, and Houston rap deity, Scarface, on Pushin'. The remix of Draped Up shows that if Bun B isn't the President of the South, he's certainly the ambassador. He brings together rappers from all over H-Town, despite their personal beefs. The result is a very nice posse cut.

If tracks one through twelve were an album, this could be a classic. A couple of rather large missteps toward the end of the album prevent that, however. Git It features the Ying Yang Twins, and their producer, Collipark. On the face of it, this doesn't sound so bad, but ultimately it becomes a half-powered re-hash of their winter 2005 smash, Wait, sans whispering: a fairly generic strip club-type song that makes use of toms instead of kicks. Disappointing, but that I could forgive, were the next track not another re-heated hit. This time, however, the result is outright sad.

Who Need A 'B' features Too $hort and Juvenile, and attempts to resurrect Can I Get a Bitch, by the former. Bad idea. The beat is marginal at best, and no one really sounds inspired to spit. Bun and Juve spit lukewarm misogyny before giving way to Short Dawg, who is just depressing. Granted he was never exactly a lyrical genius, but he sounds like a complete relic in 2005, a good decade past his heyday. "If you wanted to, you could knock her/All you gotta do is take her shoppin'." It's hard to say whether or not that was much worse than his writing in 1995, but nonetheless, at the time, it was entertaining. Not so, this time.

Those two tracks notwithstanding, however, this is a tight, entertaining album from a proven master. President Bun? Hard to say for sure, but Bun definitely shows some executive power this time out. With Pimp C soon to be released, there is a lot to look forward to in the near future for the Underground Kings.
