On a recent episode of the Diverse Mentality podcast, Bun B shared his thoughts about L.A. and New York and how they celebrate old school Hip-Hop icons.

"Houston is really different," he said. "I go all over the country and nobody celebrates their old school artists like Houston. If you go to L.A. they may celebrate Snoop and Cube, but Battlecat and those dudes don't get the respect they deserve."

Bun went on to say that New York is celebrating its legends this year only, due to Hip-Hop's 50th anniversary. "Big Daddy Kane and them are gettin all this love now because of the 50th anniversary," he said. "They ain't showin' up for Rakim and them all the time."

Bun maintains that Houston celebrates their legends. "Houston is different, I'm not sayin' that we're better than people, but we understand our city and our culture better than other people do and we represent it way better," he explained. 'When we did the first rodeo the newest record performed was '[Int'l] Player's Anthem' and that's from 2007. You could never fill Giant stadium with artists who haven't had a hit record in fifteen years. This city is different, bro."
