R.I.P. To Pimp C (Update From The Record Label)
Jive Records Statement:
It is with great sadness that Jive Records announces the passing of Chad “Pimp C” Butler, a member of the celebrated rap duo UGK (Underground Kingz). Jive Records’ President and CEO Barry Weiss states: “We mourn the unexpected loss of Chad. He was truly a thoughtful and kind-hearted person. He will be remembered for his talent and profound influence as a pioneer in bringing southern rap to the forefront. He will be missed and our prayers remain with his family and Bun B. I’ve known Chad since he was 18, and we loved him dearly and he was a cherished member of the Jive family.”
Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Butler’s father was a trumpet player who played professionally with Solomon Burke. Outside of his father, the 33-year old rapper’s influences varied, ranging from Bobby Bland, Jimmy McGriff, the 1960’s Motown artists to Run DMC. Butler met his inseparable partner Bernard “Bun B” Freeman in high school where they formed UGK. In 1992, the duo signed to Jive Records and went on release a total of eight albums for the label. They earned their highest achievement earlier this year when their most recent album, UGK (Underground Kingz), debuted in the number one position on the album pop chart. According to the New York Times, UGK “helped inspire a generation of Southern hip-hop stars, from OutKast to Lil Wayne.”

HipHop = Galmorizes drugs, violence and sex.
All of which can lead to an early grave.
Black folks need to wake up.

December 4th, 2007 at 3:12 pm
#17 what kind of ish you on saying I hope it was drug related, like that makes it better. If it wasn’t and was by the gun its still f’d up. Black people we got to get it together we, well some of us still don’t see what is going on out here in the world. Some of us aren’t seeing the world as people but as black people. Only a black person would’ve made that statement. Just like the Sean Taylor shooting no white boys would’ve tried to rob Brian Urlacher we as a people gotta stop bringing each other down and thinking down on ourselves.
December 4th, 2007 at 3:17 pm
damn r.i.p

My Boy jus said it may be a false story, if he’s alive you hear it from me FIRST!
December 4th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

December 4th, 2007 at 3:23 pm
yo what happen
December 4th, 2007 at 3:24 pm
WTF Shit like this has been going on for ages and NOW my brothers and sistahs want us to “wake up”, what’s going on and bla bla bla bla? WHY? Because a few black “celebs” have been killed.
Does it really take celebs to get killed in order for us as a people to wake up and understand that we are kiilling each other?
This is nothing new. It’s a reality and has been a reality for many of us black folks for AGES.
BTW…R.I.P Pimp C and all the everyday brothers who got killed today last night and tomorrow.
December 4th, 2007 at 3:24 pm

If you check my next comment on #19 it was a error in typing. I said hope it wasnt drug related. Meaning I hope it was natural causes because dude has a well known coke habit. Im a fan of UGK and Pimp C. I actually copped their album (real one) so please fall back. Also I heard this on AHH.com and posted a comment in the post about beanie and styles video before RTNY posted this thread.
December 4th, 2007 at 3:25 pm
wow, it seems like mad people dying n sh*t for some reason i dunno why, seems like one of the worst years in hip hop as far as crime and deaths. damn if it wasnt for jay z and a few rappers, hiphop would be dead…
December 4th, 2007 at 3:26 pm
WOW! Thats some crazy shit……..
December 4th, 2007 at 3:27 pm
That shit is too bad that shit is crazy
December 4th, 2007 at 3:28 pm

December 4th, 2007 at 3:29 pm
PPL, I DON’T WHAT HAPPENED TO PIMP C I HOPE HE IS IN A BETTER PLACE. WHAT’S WRONG WITH OUR GENERATIION?? WE ARE KILLING EACH OTHER LIKE IT’S NOTHING??? FOR A MOST PART IT’S US KILLING EACH OTHER (BLACK PPL) WHEN DOES THIS STOP?? WE ALLWAYS HATE’EN ON EACH OTHER, WHY US? I KNOW WE HAVE BEEN PRESSED AND WE STILL ARE BEING PRESS BY THE SYSTEM, BUT NO EXCUSES WE HAVE TO GET TOGETHER AND SUPPORT EACH OTHER, LETS DO BETTER! LETS STOP THE SHIT WE ARE DOING TO EACH OTHER! LET’S STAND UP AND FIGHT TO BETTER OUR LIVES! LET’S STOP TAKING SHORT CUTS IN LIFE! SO MANY OF OUR PPL DIED FOR US TO BRING CHANGES. LETS NOT MAKE THEIR DEATH FOR NOTHING. LETS GO TO SCHOOOL AND GET EDUCATION. RIP PIM C
December 4th, 2007 at 3:33 pm
This is a sad day in Southern Rap. He is a legend. I just want to know where is Bun?

The Golden Triangle is in mourning over this loss. For the non-Texas people that would be Beaumont, Port Arthur and Orange, Tx. We love you Pimp and you will be greatly missed. One of the best to ever to do it chopped and screwed!!

December 4th, 2007 at 3:39 pm
R.I.P to one of the realest niggaz in this rap game. Maybe now he’ll get the shine that he deserves.
On another note: Why the fuck does his death have any thing to do with Black People as a whole. I’m sick of hearing “we got to wake up black people”.
When a white celeb dies you don’t hear all the white people saying “We gotta do better white folks”. Nigga Please! As sad and shocking as his death is…ite’s not anything out of the ordinary. People die every fuckin day, today just happened to be his turn.
R.I.P Pimp C
December 4th, 2007 at 3:42 pm

December 4th, 2007 at 3:42 pm
Damn…..This is unbeleivable I cant beleive it he is a true legend cus of he is 1 half of the UGK. The only positive from a hip hop point of view, is he left us with an album to remember with the album Underground Kings cus it was a classic but I still cant believe it.
December 4th, 2007 at 3:44 pm
These niggas just went plat!!! Bun gotta hold it down again, but this time for good. RIP my nig and my condolences to the friends and fam

like tupac said ” and the truth is there aint no hope for the future” he was absoloutley right .. for a supposed upbringing of people who “say” we come from nothing, when you give em something they give it back through their actions.. Blacks and Money are just not a good mix.. as a race its all about “what you got , you i got the coupe, look at my rims, look at the ice in the chain .. we as people admire some of the most invaluble shit in the world.. ” still to this day we have no sense about how to act with money .. just flash now and past it to the next .. no longevity.. no fully ran black businesses .. it will continue to be this way till we are extinct.. Niggas aint shit .. LOL .. white folks just laugh to themselves everyday they hear stuff like this.. its liek you can have a billion dollas and someone gonna bve like .. well ya still just a nigger and walk off like you aint shit so it dont matter our generation is fucked! the same ol shit is just gonna keep on continuing .. the empowering speaches about lets come together this and that is just something to settle the mind for a second.. and then its back to the same ol shit .. ” remember the million man march took place how many years ago.. and everyone of those so called rap artists that were there had an altercation, arrest , incident with violence, guns and what not right afterwards till now.. so what examples can any of them set.. they all lie .. and a nigga will still act like a nigga when the time approaches no matter what.. so i dont wanna hear none of the long drawn out speeches about support , and community and lets get together because they’ll just go out and record a record saying the same thing the next night..!! blast me a nigga, im a body a .. im a merk .. man this whole shit is weak .. to each is own .. its all a bunch of BS .. aint nothin changing. expect the worse.. and just pray to keep a level head for the time being.. this will all bottom out.
December 4th, 2007 at 4:00 pm
I am completely stunned. I cant understand why everyone is dying. How many more? This is an epidemic…so devastating. R.I.P PIMP C.

December 4th, 2007 at 5:54 pm
#78, why does it have to be the syrup? Somebody in this room stated a comment about drugs and hip-hop being a factor. It maybe true but then again, you don’t know. Pimp C was a grown man and he chose to live his life the way he did. Hip Hop does not make a man choose to put whatever they decide to put into their bodies. They do that by their own choice. You are ignorant for playing the race card! Black folks, white folks, it don’t matter, people are going to do whatever they want to do in this crazy world. If you don’t have mad love and respect for him, get the hell out of the comment arena.
December 4th, 2007 at 5:58 pm

My city LA has AT RISK KIDS from every background…I FEEL SORRY FOR YOU…YOU REALLY NEED A BOOK>…As far as kids copying their role models, my eyes are open…I SEE IT. I agree with that..why? CUZ daddy is gone…hit the road…REAL MEN RAISE KIDS>>>BELIEVE THAT>>>>but again…white kids copy role models…brown kids too..

A lot of people are just getting hip to Pimp C and UGK, so they really don’t know how much of an influence this guy had on the South and Hip Hop as a whole. They’ve been doing big things even before Pocket Full of Stones. Go back to Pregnant Pu**y and you can see what I mean (look it up on iTunes). Bun my heart goes out to you because you just got your man back 2 years ago. Just know that all of us true Texans and Southerners are riding with you. One Love. May your soul Rest In Peace Pimp. There will never be another…

[Pimp C]
I been on top of the world, and been on bottom of the grind
I came through in the fresh cars, playin surround
I been in the city sellin crack at the dopefiends
Tryin to come up Houston be strung out on promethazine
I used to smoke fry, wasn’t scared to die
Every day when I wake up I wanted to get high
My momma came and got me from that devil dope
And keep me good even though I used to choose hoes
And sometimes with her older family members a lil’ bit wrong
But that’s how I came up, makin rap songs

[...] Pimp C, government name Chad Butler, was found dead in a Hollywood Hotel yesterday. The UGK co-founder was known, among other things, for his brazenness. He came from the tradition of pimp-talk, often abused in hip-hop but remaining very real through his diatribes. His most recent outcry came at the expense of rappers unwilling to atone for their humiliating, impudent behavior (read: take that monkey sh*t off, you embarrassin’ us). The Undaground Kingz would not be the emblem of Southern slick talk without Pimp C’s portion of character. Bun B is (and always will be) known for his impeccable rhymes. Pimp C makes all that “Pimp My Ride” terminology ring true by exploding with a pimp’s candor on radio stations –drug-fueled or not. Not only that but Pimp C made equally slick beats, drenched in seventies soul to complete his contribution to the Cadillac-sparkling, cup-holding, mink-sporting motif. [...]

WTF??? HOW he died?
December 5th, 2007 at 6:39 pm
My comment is for ‘da dumb’(#145). Dude you are talking real reckless right now. To say that Pimp C is not a legend is the dumbest shit I ever heard. Just because your dumbass hasn’t heard of Pimp C or his music doesn’t mean he isn’t relevant. He IS just as relevant as Scarface when it comes to down south music. Let it be know that the forefathers of this South music is, in no particular order:
Scarface and the Geto Boyz
Outkast
UGK
Eightball and MJG

real talk, the cup killed PIMP C, aka, Chad Butler. He was a southern legend. NY dont gotta like him. I remember riding dirty to “Ridin Dirty”. Songs like “one day you here, next day you gone” were part of the Soundtrack of my life when I was 15-16 years old. Ill be thirty in January. One thing I wished: that some of the rappers I loved back then woulda grew up with me. I want to like rap rite now, but I cant. I would say my taste for rap died with PIMP C, but they died way before he did.

HEY YALL IF ANY OF YALL GOT FACEBOOK, PLEASE JOIN THE “RIP PIMP C” GROUP AND SHOW UR LUV FOR THE LEGEND HIMSELF!! THANKS, MUCH LUV.

Ya’ll need to get off that bullshit! Regardless of how it happened another black male life is gone!!! This man had a family, friends and fans that loved him and the first thing that comes to some of you dudes backwards ass minds is “It was drugs”, “somebody killed him”, “he said some bad things”! Come on man, lets be real the man has left behind a lot more than just some great music, he had a mother, a wife and children! We on the outside can always put in a UGK CD and reminisce, but think about the people he was closest to and their feelings when they read some of this bullshit! We all have lost someone close to us and wanted our feelings to be respected. Just remember what you want to be said about you when your time comes and think before you speak on the next man. “TELL ME SOMETHIN GOOD”! A true UGK fan knows where Im comin from.
To his family and Bun B GOD BLESS YOU!
RIP PIMP C
