UGK vs. 8Ball & MJG. Who you got your money on?

Swizz Beatz and Timbaland's Verzuz battles have been one of the hottest things on Instagram these days. The megaproducers have lined up several incredible "battles" between iconic pairs. Some haven't necessarily gone as well as others but overall, fans have been able to celebrate artists that they've held close to their hearts for ages. Last night, Jagged Edge and 112 went up against each other while other Verzuz battles have included Beenie Man vs. Bounty Killer and Erykah Badu vs. Jill Scott, among others.

Even though there have been pairings with Southern giants, Bun B's proposed battle among Houston and Memphis' titans -- UGK and MJG. He took to Instagram where he requested Swizz Beatz and Timbaland to organize a virtual "battle" to celebrate their respective catalogs. 

"@therealswizzz and @timbaland are open to having us on @verzuztv y’all. They just wanna see that the people want it. So tag them in my comments. Then repost the pic by @willo_hdesign to your page and story and tag them again. Let’s get the word out," Bun B captioned the post. 

Though we haven't heard a response yet, Bun B would be representing and continuing to carry the legacy of the late Pimp C who died in 2007. Hopefully, Swizz and Timbo catch wind of Bun's comments and bring this proposal to life.
