So the numbers on the single for \u2018Get Throwed\u2019 started to go up again as well,\u201d he says. \u201cThat\u2019s a big deal for us, and he\u2019s a great guy for that. You could have worse friends in the music industry than Drake, for sure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-line-height-copy  lrv-a-font-body-l   \">\n\tBun B has known Drake for close to 20 years, and he was an early supporter back when the future superstar was still best known to many as a Canadian actor who\u2019d signed to Young Money. He appreciates the way that Drake flipped Langley\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/music\/music-country\/ella-langley-choosin-texas-mariah-carey-billboard-chart-1235629660\/\">record-breaking smash<\/a> \u2014 which is sung from the perspective of someone who\u2019s heartbroken that her man has chosen a Lone Star rival over her \u2014 into a smooth tribute to the music and culture of the state where he recently purchased a <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/robbreport.com\/shelter\/celebrity-homes\/drake-ranch-house-texas-1235624173\/\">$15 million ranch<\/a>.  \u201cIt\u2019s a full-circle thing, because Texas has inspired him and influenced him on so many different levels,\u201d Bun says. \u201cI would argue that Texas would be considered Drake\u2019s second home at this point.

When it was originally released as a single from his solo debut, <em>Trill<\/em>, Bun was beginning a new chapter of his career after making some of the greatest records in Southern rap history as one half of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/ugk\/\" id=\"auto-tag_ugk\" data-tag=\"ugk\">UGK<\/a> with the late, great <a href=\"https:\/\/www.rollingstone.com\/t\/pimp-c\/\" id=\"auto-tag_pimp-c\" data-tag=\"pimp-c\">Pimp C<\/a>. \u201cGet Throwed\u201d boasted super-quotable verses from both members of that influential duo, plus guest shots from a murderer\u2019s row of Jay-Z, Jeezy, and Z-Ro, all of which put the song in heavy national rotation. \u201cIt\u2019s not like UGK and the Geto Boys and<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Mr._3-2\"> 3-2<\/a> and Big Mike and all these other classic Houston rappers and groups didn\u2019t already have impact in the culture [earlier on],\u201d he says. \u201cBut Houston had that second big run in 2005, 2006, 2007, which brought a lot more notoriety and shine on the city for the younger base.\u00a0It just immediately brings you back to where Houston was last most impactful.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube\">\n<p>\n<span class=\"embed-youtube\" style=\"text-align:center; display: block;\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Bun B Ft.
