Another interesting fact about the song is that it was released as the second single from the album “The Red Light District” and it received a nomination for the BET Award for Best Collaboration. In an article by Vibe, Ludacris talked about how he wanted to prove that he could still get views without using much product placement in the video. It was their only collaboration in which they were featured together. "Stick 'em Up" was one of the few collaborations that UGK did with Ludacris. The song was included in Ludacris' fifth studio album "The Red Light District" which was released in 2004. One interesting fact about this song is that it samples the track "You're A Customer" by EPMD. Furthermore, the song highlights how the artists bring a unique vibe and style to the industry. He shows how important people are depending on him and he cannot neglect this. Pimp C emphasizes being from Texas and how that is factored into his life by claiming that the game is deeper than just working off a beeper. The chorus "Stick em up bitch stick em up, put your hands up where I can see em" is a not so subtle way of telling people that if they mess with Ludacris or UGK they will pay the price. The lyrics assert the power of the artists and warn all those who dare cross them. The song "Stick 'em Up" by Ludacris featuring UGK is a warning to all the flashy and flossy people out there.
