Bun B of UGK recently revealed the video for Pimp C’s single, “She Luv It”(Remix) off of his final album. In an interview with XXLMag.com Bun B discussed his brother/partner, Pimp C’s legacy, the video “She Luv It” and upcoming project.

Here’s an excerpt from the XXLMag.com interview:

XXLMag.com: How difficult has been promoting UGK 4 Life without Pimp being around?

Bun B: I think the biggest issue I had was the emotional factor. We were very fortunate that Pimp left a lot of good music. It was just important that we weren’t exploiting this project, that we did justice to it and weren’t taking advantage of the situation.

XXLMag.com: Y’all just dropped the “She Luv It (Remix),” which was shot in a strip club. How’d the whole idea come together?

Bun B: The idea actually came when I got a call from someone hosting parties at a strip club in Houston called the Player’s Club. I don’t normally do anything at strip clubs because I’m married, but it came to a point where they offered a lot of money and even my wife was like, “You can’t turn that down, it’ll be crazy.”

XXLMag.com: So your wife was cool with it?

Bun B: It’s the YouTube age so you can’t do anything anyway, because people will take pictures or tweet it, so she was a lot more comfortable with me in that kind of a setting. I started thinking, How do we maximize going to this strip club? Well, I thought let’s go and shoot a video. I only got one video that I can probably shoot there and it was for “She Luv It,” because it’s a strip club type of song. But “She Luv It” is UGK, Pimp got a verse, I got a verse, we go back and forth, but I said who do I know who can put work in [for a remix] in a quick amount of time. Locally, Slim Thug is always good, Killa Kyleon is always good. They did the song the same day I gave them the music.

XXLMag.com: Is your label paying for the video or you’re doing it yourself?

Bun B: We did this ourselves. It’s not a single we could release commercially or service to radio. It’s a strip club song. The video didn’t take a lot of time or hardly any money.

XXLMag.com: Are you currently working on a new solo album?

Bun B: I just started on a Trill OG, which is targeted for the first quarter next year to take advantage of the Superbowl weekend, All-Star weekend, MAGIC convention and all these opportunties where you can market and promote yourself to a lot of people in one time. At the Superbowl weekend you can touch 100,000 people in one weekend. We dealing with a lot of people, working with J.U.S.T.I.C.E League, Cool & Dre, DJ Premier, in-house producers… So I’m just gonna try and offer people music that makes sense for the club, car, iPod and at the stadium.
