Pimp C Details Emerge, Mother And Too Short Speak out

by Lyricalthought on December 5th, 2007

http://media.defsounds.com/uploads/assets/2220/2226/4693/asset.jpgIn an update to the surprising death of UGK rapper, Pimp C', reports say that the rapper was found with two prescription drug tablets. But because of the lack of evidence it is still being reported that Butler died of natural causes.

During an interview with KFDM News, Pimp C's mother, Weslyn Monroe, spoke about the death of her son as well as the lack of information detailing the cause of his death.

"Actually, we have very little idea of what happened," Monroe told KFDM News." C's business manager found his body in his hotel room in Los Angeles and we know he died in his sleep. Past that, we don't know anything."

She went on to speak with dealing with her son's death, saying.

"This is a terrible shock; Mama is just a little tougher than most, but I break too, the phone won't stop ringing. It feels good, if anything can feel good now ... He loved (Port Arthur) ... Even when he came home he chose to live here. And to be honest, I wasn't sure of it. But he was, this was his choice."

According to his mother the last time they spoke he seemed in good spirits and very excited about an upcoming collaboration with rap group Three 6 Mafia.

"He was in L.A., doing what he loved most," Monroe said.

Too Short, who was one of Pimp C's Close friends, had this to say:

"Pimp C highly influenced the rap game a lot of rappers adopted his rap style and his production techniques. He was [one of] my best friends and fortunately, I was just with him on stage Saturday night at the House of Blues on Sunset. He was in a good mood, smiling and laughing. That's how I'll always remember him."

According to Pimp C's Manager, he had a lot of moves in the works before his death including, a solo deal with Jive, a publishing deal, a national cologne endorsement deal and a new satellite radio show.

"Chad had everything to live for, making his unexpected passing a travesty," Martin said. "Right now, my number one concern is the well being and livelihood of his family who are the ones most deeply affected by this loss. All efforts will be made to ensure that they are properly cared for in this tragic time and beyond."

No date has been set for the funeral.

In Regards to Pimp Pioneering the south,

Pimp was definitely a pioneer of southern rap, the pioneers made it together as a group as well as scarface, pimp as well as others like Bun and DJ Screw helped pioneer southern sound and style. And to those being disrespectful on this thread you obviously aren’t down for yours enough to have had any real homies, and you probably never will so you can’t understand this and what people are going through. Mad love to Pimp’s family and friends, and Bun stay up UGK is a movement, we know your boys down but he would want you to keep it rolling, your bigger than ever and Pimp would want you to keep on the grind.

RIP PIMP C

I know, just when pimp was puttin these fake d-boy rappers in perspective, puttin all them fake 17.5 & 10 a key shit on blast!! Listen to the song he did called “TRUE STORY” hes snappin out about all that shit & sayin Lil troy is a bitch 4 life. He had some beef brewing before he passed, that also makes me wonder if that had anything to do with it (maybe somebody poisoned his drink?) ANYWAY..Pimp was a fuckin pioneer 2 this game, and anybody that dont understand that must have been suckin on they mamas titties still 4 the last 10 years. I dont care what any of yall say, THERE WAS SOOOOO MANY RAPPERS BITIN PIMP’S SWAGGER & ACTIN LIKE IT WAS THEIR OWN STYLE & NOT GIVIN PROPS & CREDIT WHERE ITS DUE, JUST COMPARE UGK-RIDIN DIRTY ALBUM TO THE SOUTH GAME RIGHT NOW….THEY WAS DUIN THE SAME SHIT IN 96 AS THESE FAKE ASS RAPPERS TRYIN 2 TALK ABOUT THE FAKE LIFESTYLE THEY LEAD IN 07!!
R.I.P. PIMP CHADYOU WAS 1 OF MY ALL TIME FAVS, CUZ U WERENT ON THAT FAKE SHIT, HE ALWAYS KEPT IT 100 AND WENT OUT HIS WAY TO DO IT 2
