UGK and 8Ball & MJG faced off during a VERZUZ battle last night in Atlanta. The two groups performed some of their biggest hits, including 8Ball & MJG's “Don't Make Me” from their 2004 album Living Legends and UGK's “Int'l Player's Anthem,” which included a surprise appearance from Outkast's Big Boi. Bun B also took a moment to pay tribute to the late Pimp C.
Other surprise guests included Sleepy Brown, David Banner, Jazzy Phae, and Twista.
During the battle, 8Ball took a moment to call out Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast host Gillie Da King for “fake news,” about a story involving the late DJ Screw and Rap-A-Lot Records founder J. Prince.
He said, “I remember late nights — this is when we first moved to Houston — I used to be with Lil Keke; that’s how you know it’s a true story. These boys had me at Carrington’s on the parking lot and Screw used to sell the tapes out the back of the car. When I walked up, that boy said, ‘Man, I got everything.’ He gave me about 20 volumes, like all at one time.
He continued, “And another thing, while the world is listening, Gillie Da Kid told a story about us running from Lil J one night out the parking lot. Gillie Da Kid, you remembered that wrong. You have never been in a car with me. My first gun charge was in Houston, you can look that sh*t up. And Lil J, we have nothing but respect for that man, and he ain’t got nothing but respect for us. We have never had to run from Lil J. You hear me, man? So get your story right and go back online and say who was really with that night.”
