Pimp C Remembered a Year Later
Posted by Bossip Staff
A year after Pimp C was found dead, the “Down South” community pay tribute to him in a report by Livesteez:
Exactly one year ago today (December 4), the Hip-Hop world was rocked by the sudden passing of Chad Butler, known worldwide as Pimp C of the seminal Southern rap duo UGK.
The founder of UGK was found dead in a West Hollywood hotel after accidentally overdosing on codeine syrup. An autopsy report confirmed that it was the combination of sleep apnea and the recreational syrup drug that proved lethal.
In his native Texas, Pimp C’s name and legacy continues to be an inspiration.
“I’m normally good with words but it took me a while just to put a three sentence quote together about him because there are no words to describe how much he meant to me and so many others,” Houston rapper Chamillionaire told AllHipHop.com. “It really seems like it was just yesterday that he was here and I still can’t believe he’s not. He is deeply missed and I know his legacy will live on forever.”
Rapper Slim Thug credits his late predecessor with laying the difficult groundwork in the 80s and 90s that has culminated this decade with an explosion of Texas artists.
It is great that the community is coming together to pay their respects and not let Pimp C be forgotten, but after his death, has the southern “3rd coast” learned anything from their syrup sippin’ ways?

R.I.P. PIMP C…
I am from the dirty and still live here and hell naw these ignoramuses still “ain’t” learned. Let’s not forget the others who have passed due to syrup sippin’…..
LOL…the plural of ignoramus is ignorami.
Talk about learning…
Ad memoriam Butleri gloriam. We miss you.
UGK is one of fav down south groups after Outkast… I’m in Texas and dont look like the sippin is stopping anytime soon..
RIP pimp c you are truly missed
Chad…
I miss you. RIP…
Bun I hope that you are cool…I dont know what I would do without my BFF…shout out to AR-15
Kaviani, geniuses (or genii, whichever you prefer) create/invent words.
Pimpin’ ain’t dead…nigga, it just began
(How the fuck you know Sweet Jones?)
My hoes still out there sellin’ ass.
Yo’ bitch is out of pocket,
‘Cause yo’ pimpin’ was scary;
Real hoes gon’ front on a simp
But she gon’ do it for daddy.
Fuck niggas watch them mack and pimp on my floozie;
But, boy, my bitches know the difference
Between real pimpin’ and movies
It’s the difference between real leather
And that shit at yo’ house.
I don’t know what y’all doin’ up there,
But we really pimpin’ in the South.
Every since I was 17,
I been stackin’ my green:
Went for servin’ rocks to fiends,
And rockin’ club full a teens.
Went from bumpin’ Screw in Houston,
Sippin’ promythazine,
To ridin’ in a 8 600 with sheath,
To smokin’ on sticky green.
I’m still Pimp C, bitch
I’m claimin’ P.A., they hate us;
But, me and Kool Ace rollin’ a Lexus
Sittin’ on all gold Daytons.
Bitch, take a look around
Those hoes steady choosin’.
This is the conclusion: pimpin’ ain’t no illusion.

R.I.P Pimp C
DAMN! I thought that was Cuba Gooding Jr for a minute.
RIP Pimp. I am so sad that we lost a real nig. Pimp always spoke his mind. He was a producer, a lyricist, and an entertainer. i really feel bad for bun today, knowing how hard he held his brother down only to lose him once he got back.
