But when we started the thing coming from the streets of Port Arthur, Texas, there was a definite concrete definition as to what being trill was and what it represented.
And I can understand that, because when you’re fighting to be trill, you’re fighting to really claim your identity, really show who you are. I wouldn’t say misrepresented, but people tried to co-opt it, use it and define it in a way that they feel it represents them. I don’t have to overtly do that anymore, but I still am the walking embodiment of what trill is.ĭo you feel like people misrepresented it? Nah, I’m going to continue to represent “trill.” You know, the “trill” was just putting a stamp as far as really representing it and showing people what it meant to be trill. It feels like you’re completely closing the chapter on “trill” itself with this upcoming release. Rolling Stone caught up with the artist and college professor about what he has coming up next and why you probably won’t find any more Pimp C beats or vocals on his future recordings. In a world where Internet vernacular and cyber-colloquialisms run rampant, perhaps he shouldn’t have been so secretive about the true meaning of the word, because now everyone is using it incorrectly. There’s a reason why the album isn’t called the Trill Epilogue: Bun B is retiring the word (if not its meaning). Over the course of the four-part series, he’s offered clear reminders that he invented the terminology: 2005’s Trill, 2008’s II Trill, 2010’s Trill OG (collectively known as the Trill-ogy) and now The Epilogue, which was previewed with the recently release torch single “Fire” with Rick Ross and 2 Chainz.īun B on the ‘Incredible Journey’ of Creating His Hip-Hop Coloring Book Bun B, Houston’s prolific wordsmith and graduate of the UGK legacy, will drop the final piece to his Trill set on November 12th.
