Rapper Bun B, one of the originators of "trill," caught word of Willie Cauley-Stein's new middle name and voiced his opinion about it on Twitter. Bun B and the late Pimp C were the first to use the word -- which is a combination of "true" and "real" -- on their first Underground Kings album, The Southern Way, in 1992. That was before Willie Cauley-Stein was born. https://twitter.com/BunBTrillOG/status/595388927567011840 https://twitter.com/BunBTrillOG/status/595390249552846849 https://twitter.com/BunBTrillOG/status/595630967513096192 Bun B's four solo albums since Pimp C's death are called TrillII Trill, Trill OG and Trill OG: The Epilogue. Another supporter of Trill, the NBA's Stephen Jackson, also spoke up and he seemed a little angrier about the whole thing than Bun B.
  When Bun B said he has seen TRILL license plates, I wonder if he was referring to DeMarcus Cousins' "Been Trill" car decal?

Trill recognize trill, I suppose.   (By show of hands, how many of you are completely lost after reading all that? It's okay. Not everyone is trill.)
