Six years ago on this day we lost an OG in the rap game, Chad Butler better known as Pimp C. Pimp C was a rapper and producer but he was most known for being the other half of the popular group Underground Kingz (UGK) with Bun B.
The songs Pimp C were most remember for were I'sa Playa, Pourin Up, and Murder. Not only was Pimp C known for his rap music but his pimpin vernacular. The lyrics from Murder start off like ,
I'm still Pimp C bitch so what the fuck is up?
I'm puttin' powder on the streets cause I got
Big fuckin' nut's comin' back from Louisiana
In a Fleetwood Lac, I just served them nigga's shit to put them feinds on they back
Now Pimp C was also known outside of the rap game for being in trouble with the laws. January 2002, Pimp C was sentenced to eight years in prison for violating his probation because he ignored to do his community service apart of his previous sentence. Everyone in the hip hop community felt that was too harsh which started the Free Pimp C campaign. Pimp C was later released in 2005.
