UB spoke to Jermaine Dupri in 2013 for So So Def’s 20th Anniversary. At the time he spoke on his legacy. “One thing I didn’t know is that I would become apart of history. I just made music and wanted everybody to listen to me and to be apart of it as all of this stuff was going on. I mean it’s something that my kids can look to and other people can look up to. A lot of people say to me that I’m like their mentor. I didn’t know this, but I hear people say this, it feels kind of crazy sometimes. But I love it because we got into this to this to do this and now we’ve become apart of the history of music.”
