ON December 04, 2007 Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning in Los Angeles. L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed. He was 33.
Wow.. seems one by one Hip Hop is losing our lonestar boyz.... just last week Big Moe passed... and its kind of weird cuz actually my gym is not to far from Screwed up Records and Tapes on Cullen so i'm always reminded of the local flavor when i head to that side of town. I love southside music, dirty dirty and screwed up... and u know what, i'm probably one of the most cultured people you know and I can tell you that every place I have gone to around the country, I have ALWAYS heard downsouth Texas music being played in the club. Can u imagine?? U might be shocked, but hell even when i was in Bangkok, small little club in the middle of no where.... jammin to Geto boys....i mean forget Southside music...straight Houston... insane!! and yet it never fails... i hear it world-wide...
And for the record, UGK is the first time i heard the term gold digger. It wasn't Kanye's remix of Ray Charles "I got a Woman" that introduced me to the word... it was UGK. Remember? "Front and Back and Side to Siiiiiide.... never let broke gold diggers riiiiide" hahahahha i would jam that song... all in my '89 geo spectrum hahahhahah cuz gold diggers soo wanted to ride in there... lolz! whatever. Yah....awesome memories... UGK, Bone, Cypress, Wu-Tang... i loved to jam those hard back in the day.... my whole collection of cd's were stolen so i havent been able to much lately but with the crew we tend to go back to old skool jamz on the weekend. Of course after all the "make it rain" "drop it like its hot" and "superman" club songs hahahhaha
This sux though... of course UGK will always live on, yet u just gotta feel bad for Bun B. Not worried about him bein a solo artist though, he's always wanted on everyone's tracks and he does it own his own as well. Crazy cuz Alex was just on their CD cover too... actually UGK was the last of three cd's i bought.... it was UGK, Bone, and Paul Wall.
RIP PIMP C
