The STL Bucket List Show
Bubba Sparxxx - From "Miss New Booty" to Sobriety
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of the STL Bucket List Show, we sit down with Bubba Sparxxx, the Georgia-born artist behind two of the 2000s' biggest crossover hits — "Ugly" and "Miss New Booty" — ahead of his stop in St. Louis for the Tacos and Tequila festival.
Bubba talks about growing up on a dirt road in rural Georgia with, in his words, more natural ability than industry preparation, and walks through the different eras of his career — the cultural weight of "Ugly" during the TRL and 106 & Park years, and the sheer commercial size of "Miss New Booty," made with Mr. Collipark and the Ying Yang Twins and named for a line from the movie The Players Club before it took on a life — and a literal meaning — of its own. He traces his sound, which he calls "country hip hop" (or, more accurately in his telling, "hip hop country," since hip hop comes first), back to growing up idolizing Outkast and the Dungeon Family and being signed to Big Boi. He's candid about a long struggle with addiction and alcoholism that he says started as an internal condition long before his first drink, what it took to get sober in an industry that still encourages drinking and partying, and how the drug landscape facing young artists today — fentanyl, gas station opiates, nitrous — is a different, harder world than the one he came up in. These days he splits his life between the foot of the Rockies in Utah, where he doesn't record at all, and Atlanta, where recording is treated like a work trip; on the music side, he's releasing new singles like "Pop It" featuring Bun B ahead of Impolite Gentleman 2, and playing a stacked St. Louis lineup at Tacos and Tequila alongside Rick Ross, Paul Wall, Young Joc and Murphy Lee.
It's a conversation about longevity, honesty, and staying rooted in exactly where you're from — even when the whole industry is telling you to be someone else.
They discuss:
- Growing up on a farm in Georgia and the different cultural weight of "Ugly" versus the sheer size of "Miss New Booty"
- Coining "country hip hop" (really hip hop country) and the Outkast/Dungeon Family roots behind it
- An unusually candid look at addiction, sobriety, and how the music industry treats partying
- Splitting time between Utah and Atlanta, and treating recording like a "work trip"
- New music with Bun B and Paul Wall, and playing St. Louis's Tacos and Tequila festival

b embracing who you are. Like there's something unique about every person that's ever been born into this world that separates them from every other person that's ever been born into this world. And to me, what's what what great art is is the ability to make whatever it is that separates you from everybody else translate into your art.

Um I'm here with somebody that's not from St. Louis, but I'm super excited uh because you're gonna be in town this weekend. So welcome to the show, Bubba Sparks. How you doing, man? Man, I'm fantastic. How are you this morning? I'm doing amazing man.
Meet Bubba Sparxxx & Growing Up in Georgia
SPEAKER_02Tell me about the last time I know we were talking off air a little bit but when's the last time you've been to St. Louis?
SPEAKER_01It's been a bit it's been a bit man I honestly don't remember the I think the last time I was there I was just um I I wasn't doing a show if I if I recall correctly I was uh just working with uh with uh Coco Jason Bridges um who's produced a ton of stuff coming out of St. Louis and just a broad period I think I was in the studio with him the last time I was there but um man I've done probably seven or eight shows in in St. Louis over my whole career in St. Louis or you know surrounding areas.
SPEAKER_02Yeah I wanted to talk a little bit about your career because when I was reading um it looks like the year you broke out was 2001. So kind of tell me about that trajectory. I mean that's 25 years ago now. I mean you're you're a veteran in this game. I mean take me back to 2001. What was that moment like when you were breaking out?
SPEAKER_01Man it was crazy because um you know it always appears like it happens overnight you know to the to the to the observer but when you've been grinding it out for years and years and years to get to that point and I basically like I was this kid off a dirt road in Georgia man. I I grew up in the country on a farm and um and it was like um I didn't really all I did I was just I had a little native ability when it came to making making music you know what I'm saying but as far as being prepared for the industry and for fame and all that's I I couldn't have been any less prepared.
SPEAKER_02So it was it was an exciting time but uh a a lot of uh there were a lot of trials and tribulations and a lot of opportunities for growth layered in there too but I wouldn't change it for the world yeah so you worked with Timberland and um was that the single Ugly off his debut and then you kind of did some stuff in 2003 and then 2006 is when that big commercial hit Everybody knows Miss New Booty what what what was it like when that when that thing hit because that still gets played everywhere I go to this day.
SPEAKER_01I mean it's going on it's the 20 year anniversary crazy man um you
The Making of "Ugly" and "Miss New Booty"
SPEAKER_01know I people always ask that you know but to be honest I felt bigger when like when I came out with ugly um that saw that was kind of at the height of like the um the TRL 106 and park era and I felt it felt like it had a bigger cultural impact. So I guess as an artist I felt bigger at that time when the ugly time and whereas Miss New Booty was really just it it was great you know and numbers don't lie but it was more just like a big song. You know what I'm saying? Like it was just a big song and and to be honest at that time it was a little more um like with ugly that was my wave entirely you know but with with me getting yin yang and Mr Collie Park producing um Miss New Booty it was a little really I was just kind of I was bringing my own flavor and flair to it but I was kind of riding the yin yang twins wave because they were super super like hot you know at that time in an industry sense. And um but yeah man it was it was a great experience man it was um man it was it was a it was a cultural phenomenon in a whole different way and the way it's taking on a new life as time has gone by because you know in the beginning when we first released it it was basically about it was a reference to the movie Players Club. In the movie Players Club they they would call like the new girl at the strip club that's working at the strip club Miss New Booty and that that's what that's how we were referencing it. But as the time went on and the BBLs and you know and and uh all these things started coming into play it took on a whole new meaning a literal new booty.
SPEAKER_02Yeah that's so funny how things change and it's like 20 years and I think one of the one of the things about your guys' time in in in that era of music is that stuff is so timeless. It still gets played to this day it's um it's clean in a way that you know it's different than the new music comes out like you guys had to be a little bit you know strategic on how you release some of this stuff and I think that now it's like people release all these different things but yeah you mentioned the Yin Yang twins. I mean that hit number seven that so that song hit number seven in the top 100 um so that I mean as a as an artist from Georgia in this rural town having a hit in the top 10 and then still you know to this day when you go out you're gonna play this song I mean that has to be pretty special but like you mentioned it's a mainstream it's like it's a little bit different than how you came up but sometimes it takes that mainstream hit to start hitting to start to for people to get used to your other songs and your other music.
SPEAKER_01You know it was a different time back then like like
How the Music Industry Has Changed
SPEAKER_01now people just kind of the the way you go about it is you just put a you throw a ton of stuff up against the wall and what sticks sticks and and and sometimes people gravitate towards this particular song or that particular song uh depending on a lot of other factors you know like you know whatever story you're building in in a in a in a lifestyle sense in a cultural sense outside of the music I think is more important now than than it was back then even though it's always been important to some degree but at that time it was like you would gear up for this one song you know and it's like you would you would you would put all this time and energy into the hope the belief that this one song was going to be you know was was going to be received well by people and sometimes you were right sometimes you were wrong but we were definitely right on that one.

No that's amazing so um obviously it's changed now I mean songs, people's attention spans people are blowing up on TikTok people are it's just a different world. Do you have any advice for the younger generation the younger musicians?
SPEAKER_01I always tell people this I I I wouldn't know where to
On Originality and What Makes Great Art
SPEAKER_01start like trying to get on in this in this current climate that we exist in this current environment um but what I can say is that originality you know is is always gonna shine through you know what I'm saying like you know embracing who you are like there's something unique about every person that's ever been born into this world that separates them from every other person that's ever been born into this world and to me what's what what great art is is the ability to make whatever it is that separates you from everybody else translate into your art and that's whether you're a rapper a plumber a painter a quarterback you know what I'm saying like whatever you're doing that that's always going to be a formula success for success in my opinion.
SPEAKER_02Mm-hmm and you've publicly over the years kind of discussed fighting addiction and past interviews and and all these other things that you've gone through in your life that goes way outside of just recording a song. So tell me kind of tell me kind of about those trials and tribulations and how you can stand here today you know 25 30 years later in your career and still be a performer after going through all that stuff that you went through.
SPEAKER_01Yeah man it's it's it's it's been quite the journey
His Journey with Addiction and Recovery
SPEAKER_01um with addiction man you know I um I don't think anybody as a child you know like I don't think anybody ever goes wanders down to their high school counselor's office and says hey I'd like to see about becoming an alcoholic you know later in life you know what I'm saying but um yeah man I you know I I believe that I was an addict and alcoholic long before I ever took my first drink or or took a drug it's more of an internal condition you know I I just um I struggle with fitting in at times you know and just feeling like um feeling kind of like an alien and then when I when I discovered alcohol and later drugs it kind of was my solution for a while until it turned on me and then and then it became this this thing that spiraled out of control and and uh caused a lot of chaos in my life and a lot of pain and a lot of wasted opportunities and and um but ultimately it it's become something that that I'm extremely grateful for because the work that I had to put in and the self-discovery that I had to put put in to overcome um those struggles has made me you know because all I really ever wanted was to be able to fulfill my potential as a as a man you know my true potential as a human you know and uh and I I think I'm I still not all the way there but but I I've I've come a long way in that direction and and um and I'm grateful for that. If it weren't for my struggles with addiction and um like I said the the the work that I had to put in on myself and and uh truly discovering myself and and um and and seeking a spiritual solution too that that that's really um that's really giving me a a a type of peace in life that that I've that really is what I was looking for through drugs and alcohol and I'm really grateful for that.
SPEAKER_02Yeah that's inspiring and I think that living in that lifestyle of fame you know it don't help it elevates all that because you're expected to go to the party every night you're expected to stay up and and you know what else to make those appearances.
SPEAKER_01When I was in treatment
Sobriety in the Industry & Today's Drug Landscape
SPEAKER_01you know I'm in there with all these doctors and and and people that that you know like like it's so frowned upon you know that I I knew some people that were like what they call diverting meds basically stealing meds you know what I'm saying and take you know and and they have to go through this this um extremely restrictive like five year thing where they get tested you know three four times a week randomly and have to do all this extra stuff and I'm like God that's crazy because I'm actually in a in a in my industry you're kind of encouraged to drink and party you know what I'm saying and and uh you it it it's the stigma around uh being an addict or alcoholic and particularly in urban music has has changed a lot and I and and there's a lot of people that are that are sober out there you know plus a lot of us as far as my generation we've just gotten older um but but you know I remember there when I was when I was first trying to get sober back right around the time of Miss New Booty um it was you kind of stuck out like a sore thumb you know like saying that you were sober.
SPEAKER_02Yeah so uh it's definitely more mainstream now but like like you mentioned the younger you're you're the guys that you're playing with like the fat joes of the world the Paul Walls exhibit young jock like all these guys you're gonna see next week they've been through it all before and they're in different phases of life with they have kids and um these other younger kids are basically 19 20 21 years old experiencing everything that you guys experienced back in the late 90s and early 2000s.
SPEAKER_01Yeah drugs have always been serious don't get me wrong but when you start talking about the fentanyls and and and you know some of these other things these gas station opiates 70H or whatever it's called and Kratom and all that stuff. And um you know I got a very good friend that I went to treatment with um younger kid that that has his his drug of um of choice was nitrous. You know he would get big tanks of nitrous you know and he was very much caught up in the grip of that. So there's just so many different different challenges that I think each each growing generation faces that's that's different from the previous generation whereas like my parents you know like a little weed and some alcohol was about all they had to deal with you know um and then you know so it was just it blew their minds the fact that I that I could go down some of the the alleys that I did you know as far as my experimentation and and and at times dependence on different substances but yeah it's it's it's a wild world out here man and
Why Addicts Think It Could Never Be Them
SPEAKER_01I you know I I I feel for some of these young kids you know but but I they're not gonna listen you know what I'm saying it's like I you can't get too preachy because I was listening and I just know how that goes you know what I'm saying because yeah one thing the addicts kind of um one of the the defining characteristics of a true addict is they think it can never be them you know what I'm saying that yeah that's you you you're like that you have those problems you're weak like that yeah but that'll never happen to me you know I could never OD and die you know whatever so yeah no that's that's good advice and and it's right like you want to be a mentor but a lot of these people have to figure it out themselves and and uh you can give advice when asked but you know I think that I think that that's inspiring.
SPEAKER_02So I want to I want to shift to tacos and tequila so I was looking at the lineup I was looking at the lineup so my guy Murphy Lee local St.
SPEAKER_01Louis guy he's gonna be out there uh fat Joe Fat Joe legend Rick Ross legend exhibit legend paul wall young jock genuine I mean this is a stacked lineup for uh daytime that is a stacked lineup tell me about it man
Tacos and Tequila: The Stacked STL Lineup
SPEAKER_01I mean I've been on some with with the tacos and tequila's I've been on some stacked lineups but but that is ridiculous that that that might be the most stacked of all the stacked ones who are you I mean you know all these guys probably but I mean who are you excited to catch up with this weekend when when they come out on the 12th man me and young jock and Murphy you know what I'm saying we're and Paul you know me and Paul got a got a um a song and video we're about to drop um yeah and I've seen Fat Joe with a couple of them I think this is the first one I've been on with Rick Ross so it'd be good to to catch up with him too.
SPEAKER_02Yeah no that's amazing so tell me about what people can expect because there's a lot of people there's still tickets available people are going to be coming out um I saw the lineup like the lineup's online but like what can people expect from this because it's it's music it's throwback music but it's also a celebration of food and drink and all these fun things that man it's just a huge it's just a huge cultural experience man it's awesome you know um you know I I would say make sure you to everyone that's coming make sure that you're prepared to drink plenty of water too because I'm sure it's gonna be pretty hot out there.
SPEAKER_01Yeah and um especially if you get there earlier in the day but man it's just the food is incredible um it's just there's just a lot going on man it's just always a really good time even for the artists you know it's it's it's a really really good time you know backstage it's it's it's it's a a family type atmosphere amongst all the different artists man you know nobody's really on no pretentious vibes you know everybody's just chilling man having a good time and and and I love it man it's it it's it's been a great experience tacos and tequila's just all around i i think i've been doing it um i think this is my third year of of doing tacos and tequila events and so if i'm not mistaken this is my first time coming to st. louis uh for for tacos and tequila so man it's gonna be a good time yeah you know what it is it's it's it's a big event but it's not too big yeah you know it's not so big that you just lose all perspective on the whole thing you know what I'm saying and so it's like it's a it's a it's a really good time yeah the STL bucket list show is proudly sponsored by Suede dispensary
AD: Swade Dispensary
SPEAKER_01with 11 Missouri area locations suede does so much for the St.
SPEAKER_02Louis community we've been working with this team for a couple years back since medical was here and we're excited to support their new product launches events and community initiatives we couldn't be happier to work with this premier cannabis brand and we're excited for them to sponsor the show. Enjoy the rest of the podcast. In the demo that we get out there, I mean, you know, that the the age group that grew up listening to you guys, the people that are 35 to 45 and it's like getting an experience to be able to come out and see you guys and be up close and personal because last time people were just mingling with the crowd. I mean it was it was small enough to where you would just be out like having you know what chilling with somebody eating a taco and then like a bunch of fans been like oh I remember I was in high school when this song came out telling you those stories don't discount the amount of younger people that come to
Georgia Roots, Outkast & Coining "Country Hip Hop"
SPEAKER_02like yeah it's it's crazy man because I think our era of music was just so festive.
SPEAKER_01Yes you know what I'm saying I think I think the early 2000s like there was just a lot of festive fun music made during that time and uh I think all sorts of age uh demographics um identify with it yeah 100% no that's awesome so I can't wait for you guys to be here this weekend but I wanted to touch a little bit more on your music right before we wrap up so ugly put you on the map at 24 and watching that song and watching that video um pigs tractors like all this stuff in the video like walk me through that because you mentioned you're from Georgia but you're not from Atlanta you're from rural Georgia so you wanted to Yeah I'm from about I'm from about 45 minutes to an hour outside of Atlanta and um you know man I I I just it's like I just knew that that to be to be aligned with the the core fundamental principles of hip hop I had to represent who I was authentically you know what I'm saying and and and make that fit within the hip hop mold you know and so that's what we did we just we tried it and and because you know I'm I I grew up on like outcast like dungeon family music and so when I seen them come out probably about 10 years prior to me um I was like wow if there's ears ears because they were kind of the first to really put on for Georgia being from Atlanta and when I was like man like like if there are ears for their voices there might be ears for my voice at some point and so I just really started you know really delving into just making sure that everything I did aligned with who I really was and where I was really coming from and then we just had fun with the video man and and and people received it well it was it was a it was it was a crazy time. It was probably um probably a little when I look back on the overall like unveiling of the history of like country and urban culture merging together it was probably a little early but um but somebody's got to be first you know hey yeah I love that and and I think it it it makes sense because you know like you came out with that or so like what would you say the genre was so like Southern you said country there's some rock elements there's obviously hard hip hop I I do hip hop music you know but I but over the years I've fused a lot of different other things into it you know I always I call it country hip hop but if I was really um labeling it accurately it would be hip hop country. Yeah you know I'm saying because the hip hop comes first exactly um so you're actively still releasing music so kind of walk me through some of your new projects and and are you going to be playing some of the new stuff at the uh the event as well yeah we will be um I have my boy Dusty Lee
New Music: Impolite Gentleman 2 & Bun B
SPEAKER_01there who who's a a younger artist that I work with we have a project coming out called we we did a um two years ago we released impolite gentleman the the first one and now we're about to release uh impolite gentleman two um which we got bun B on there we got uh Paul Wall on the project we got we got a few other people on the project and um and yeah that we're we're releasing singles from that right now we just put out um the video uh song and video pop it which features bun B from UGK and that was a real honor to work with with the eight with the Texas legend and um and yeah man and I I just put out an album uh a few months ago called in case you missed it Which was kind of a some songs I've had recorded for a few years and a few new ones I just recorded. And yeah, man, basically what we're just we're just gonna just I'm gonna put out projects every year and just you know try to overload that streaming system. And that's kind of the best way I see to do it, you know, just throw stuff in there and just let those coins stack up, you know, with the stream, and hopefully we get better and better percentages as artists as time goes on.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I think that that's the key. And and the the in-person show is so important still, is like getting out there and actually meeting fans. And how many shows are you doing um a year now? Are you still I mean you're still working working just as hard as you used to?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no,
Legacy Festivals, Touring Pace & Life in Utah
SPEAKER_01not quite as hard, but yeah, you know, that's that's the good thing about these these uh what do they call it, legacy festivals, you know, like the throwback stuff, man, because it's really given us an opportunity to to kind of in an organized move go out there and and and and you know and showcase for our era and it's helped us get our worth back up, you know, as far as what we can get for a show and helped us to be more selective with the types of shows we do. But I'd say I probably this year probably 50 to 60 shows, I would I would guess. Yeah, something like that. Yeah, I mean, that's still every week, you know, if it's weekly, you know, or or like yeah, I mean, on average, I mean I'll I'll do I'll do two or three in a weekend and then and then not have and then take have two weeks off, you know. That's kind of how I like to do it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, and and you're not you're not in Georgia. Are you on the West Coast now? Or are you I live in Utah now? Oh, in Utah. So why Utah? You like it out there? It's peaceful.
SPEAKER_01Um man, I just came out here and fell in love with it. Fell in love with the fresh air, the mountains. I mean, I I look out my window and see the Rocky Mountains every day, man. I'm I'm like right at the at the foot of the of of the Rocky Mountains, and and I love it, man.
SPEAKER_02And your studios out there, or do you record at home or you you you you got a studio out there?
SPEAKER_01I I don't I don't really record out here. I kind of just live my life out here,
Recording as a "Work Trip" & Dream Collabs
SPEAKER_01and then I I go to Atlanta or you know, or or somewhere else mostly to record when I when I get I'm not really at a point in life where I just wake up every day and make music. Yeah, you know, so it's kind of like I I go on a work trip to make music, you know, and then and then uh you get in that headspace and you go and lay down 10, 12 songs at one time instead of just like waking up and recording and um that's amazing, man.
SPEAKER_02Well, I'm honored to speak with you and I'm super excited for you to come out this weekend. I'm excited to see all you guys. And I wanted to ask a couple rapid fire questions. So if you had a dream collab, um, somebody that's still alive or somebody that might not be alive, is there somebody that you would love to do a song with that you haven't yet?
SPEAKER_01Probably tied between Eminem and Andre 3000. Maybe, maybe sprinkle a little Jimi Hendrix or Kurt Cobain in there too.
SPEAKER_02The STL Bucketless show is fueled by Upshot Coffee. My
Ad: Up Shot Coffee
SPEAKER_02friends at Upshot Coffee have some of the best beans in town. I got some of their new packaging here. Look at this bag. Look how big this is. Um, they have four St. Louis locations, their flagship in Coddleville, the break shop over by Lindenwood in St. Charles, their Clayton location called Hi-Fi, um, and then Flyby over in Tower Grove, their newest location. Um, and they also sell their coffee online everywhere. If you guys haven't added Upshot Coffee to your STL bucket list, it's time to try it. Some of the my favorite people in the industry and some of the best coffee in the game. Why those guys? I mean, you just think that those are the best at their craft?
SPEAKER_01I just, you know, it's just people I've known. You know, I was signed
Dungeon Family Roots & Dream Collaborations
SPEAKER_01to the big boy from Outcast, and I'm a member of the Dungeon family, but Andre has just always been my favorite rapper. And then Eminem, I just think it'd be cool if if we did a song together. I mean, he's obviously I got a tremendous amount of respect for for him as a person and his craft. Um, I just think it'd be dope if we did something. And then I think Jimmy, Jimmy Henderson, Kirk Cobain, those kind of explain explain themselves.
SPEAKER_02100%. So I was gonna ask you a question, tacos or tequila, but I'm leaning towards probably tacos.
SPEAKER_01Is probably at this point in life. I had too much tequila.
SPEAKER_02Um, and then uh I know you're from Georgia, and I know you love Utah, but is there another place in the country that you like to spend time in besides Georgia or Utah? Or those are your two, those are your two spots right now?
SPEAKER_01I mean, um I like Montana, I like um
Favorite Places, Closing Thoughts & Outro
SPEAKER_01Florida and California, probably.
SPEAKER_02That's funny because it seems like Montana and Utah, like you kind of like are getting the same energy that you got in small town Georgia, but you're getting a different scenery from there. You got the mountains and you you got the you you don't like the big cities anymore, like living living on top of each other and stuff like that.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, no, no. I'm done with it. I mean, I still like to visit uh bigger cities, but yeah, for the most part, I I like to be. I don't want to I like to be about an hour from a major city.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
