Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33.

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.

UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin’" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player’s Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. on Saturday night.

Godamm the late pac was right: live by the gun, die by the gun. C is and always will be remembered as 1 of the realest MCs ever. He and Bun B will always run dis rap shit, whether with club anthems, crazy featurings, or pure conscious lyricism.
May he rest in peace.
Much love to C’s family and friends.

We shall always miss you .Rest in peace sweet jones

“Living This Life”

[Chorus: Pimp C singing]
Lord it’s so hard, living this life
A constant struggle each and every day
Some wonder why, I’d rather die
Than to continue living this way

[Pimp C:]
“Uhhhh, I don’t wanna do this no more/
But this the only thang that I know/
I keep a pistol in my back/
And a gauge on the floor/
The laws and the d-boys wanna kick in my door/
I’m a d-boy, I didn’t graduate/
But I, got Ph.D from Penn State/
And I, got a Master’s Degree in moving weight/
And my, people depending on me but they going be straight/
Uhhh, I really wanna go to service/
But I ain’t been in so long, kinda make me feel nervous/
Cause they be looking at me funny/
Watching the plate when I tithe and put in my money/
I don’t wanna go back to that hell/
Rather be dead than doing life in a jail cell/
Die young, oh well/
I had a good life/
They rapping bout it but I’m out here paying the price”

Damn……RIP

First free Pimp C for years , now r.i.p. Pimp C for years to come. Locked up for so long he should had taken extra care of himself. Even got the extra chances to come back, make money, and be a rap star again; Cause many of us who get locked up get no second chances. Now to just die like a rock star, his death will be smitten of speculation and reminders of his criminal past.
