Pay close attention to Bun B’s lyrics. It’s clear he is much more than the typical rapper. The era Bun B came up in was the era where rappers actually had depth to their musical content. As the game has changed, Bun B has remained a rapper with a message at a time when there are not many others.
Comparable to other rappers from that time period, Bun B is politically charged. In addition, he’s willing to make a difference. On the political landscape, a lot of talk is being made about the state of Texas. Because of its size and diversity, many feel it should be in play as a swing state and Bun B could lead this shift.
Bun B appeared on Hot 97 recently and he talked about the political outlook in the state of Texas, specifically Houston. With a less than favorable situation there, Bun B feels he can make the change. If Barack Obama can win two terms on the national level, Bun B feels he can win one on the local level and he’s running for mayor of Houston.
