It is with great regret that I must confirm that Chad Butler aka Pimp C, one half of the legendary UGK, was in fact discovered dead," his publicist, Nancy Byron, said in a statement "Manager Rick Martin is asking that everyone please respect his family and those close to him at this time and refrain from rumors and innuendo, Butler and his partner, Bernard "Bun B" Freeman, were pioneers of Southern rap, and hit the mainstream with their cameo on Jay-Z's smash "Big Pimpin'." Though they never enjoyed the pop-chart success of some other rappers, their 1996 CD "Ridin' Dirty" is considered a rap classic, and their laidback sound, complete with gangsta tales of creeping through humid streets gripping wood-grain steering wheels, was influential in shaping the Southern rap movement. The duo's...
All hoods everywhere stand up and salute. Pimp C is back and sounding better than ever. For those that don't know, Pimp C is from the legendary group, UGK featuring Bun B. Pimp C has been locked up for last few years after violating his parole. In the years Pimp C was locked up, Houston Texas has become the biggest thing in hip hop. Pimp C continued to write songs and stay focused for the day he was let out, which was over a month ago. He hasn't lost a step and "Cadillac" is evidence. Pimp C gives UGK their swagger. He has the style and charisma that Bun B lacks and brings a legendary bravado to the hip-hop world. Just ask [Jay-Z] who featured UGK on his smash single "Big Pimpin" a few years back. UGK are "UndergroundKings," and thanks to Bun B who held it down while Pimp C was locked u...

There's no getting around it: UGK is pimp music, even if the duo is now missing its key hustler, Pimp C, who died in 2007 from an overdose. UGK 4 Life" is Underground Kingz' last album, which seems unfortunate based on this endearing, if monumentally vulgar, collection of songs. UGK, whose Southern funk style influenced artists including OutKast and Lil Wayne, offers thick beats, blaxploitation guitar licks and rolling bass on every track - some of which are exceptional. "Swishas & Erb," with singer Sleepy Brown, is one such, and Brown's falsetto is a great complement. He's one of several guests that also include Raheem DeVaughn ("Still on the Grind"), Ron Isley ("The Pim p & The Bun") and Akon ("Hard as Hell"), yet the visitors never overshadow Bun B and Pimp C but rather enhance thei...
A NEW BATTLE is brewing in rap, and this time it's between Rap-A-Lot/J. Prince boxing CEO James Prince and incarcerated drug dealer Michael "Harry-O" Harris. According to Harris' attorney Steve Goldberg, Harris has laid claim to a 50 percent stake in Rap-A-Lot Records, alleging that he provided seed money to launch the label in the mid-'80s, similar to the claims Harris made against Marion "Suge" Knight's Death Row Records. "He has a 50/50 oral agreement with James Prince, and we are going to find out exactly how much money is owed," Goldberg told AllHipHop.com. "Michael helped get Rap-A-Lot off the ground by booking acts and providing start-up capital. James Prince would be no place without Michael Harris and just like Harris won a judgment against Death Row, he will win against Rap-A-...

Dirty South, stand up. Bun B is representin' for the lone star state. UGK might be one member short with the absence of Pimp C, but Bun B isn't going to let anyone forget about his boy. UGK, better known as the "Underground Legends," has been putting it down for years. Pimp C is serving time in prison, so it's up to Bun B to keep the group's name alive. "Drapped Up," is a certified banger. You can ride to it, or you can bump it in the club. Either way, "Drapped Up" shows Bun B is the truth. His new album "Trill" is due out Oct. 25th so be on the lookout. Some songs don't need to be remade. This is definitely one of those songs. Sweet P has great energy, but this isn't how she should have entered the game. "Chic-O-Stick" is a girl version of the song "Laffy Taffy." I see where they're co...
Apnea, syrup killed rapper, coroner says LOS ANGELES - Influential Southern rapper Pimp C died of an accidental overdose of a combination of drugs he had named in his lyrics - codeine and promethazine, the county coroner's office ruled Monday.
Just as the "Free Pimp C" battle cry echoed throughout Texan hip-hop for the duration of the Houston rapper/producer's recent incarceration, Cure's situation has become a Jamaican cause célèbre: his sentence fiercely disputed by friends and fans, his name invoked by everyone from Capleton to Morgan Heritage as a symbol of Babylon downpression.
There is a lot of new music scheduled for fall release, including albums by OutKast ("Idlewild"), Justin Timberlake, ("Future Sex/Love Sounds"), Ludacris ("Release Therapy"), Janet Jackson ("20 Years Old"), Sting ("Songs From the Labyrinth"), Diana Krall ("From This Moment On"), Bob Seger ("Face the Promise") and the aforementioned Beyoncé ("B'Day"). A SIGN of the sad times we live in: The No. 1 album on the national R&B/Hip-Hop chart at the time of this writing is "Pimpatation" by Pimp C. The titles of some of the other albums on that chart are "Killa Season," "My Ghetto Report Card," "The Sound of Revenge," "Blood Money" and "Gangstress. On the R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart we find such gems as "U and Dat," "I Got My Bitch," "Hustlin'," "Stuntin' Like My Daddy" and "(When...
Buck The World" is definitely a step up from [Young Buck]'s first album "Straight Outta Cashville." Don't get what I'm saying twisted because "Straight Outta Cashville" was and still is a bangin" album. I still pop it in every now and then because there are some classic songs on that album. But "Buck The World", is exactly what Young Buck is about. There isn't any beating around the bush when it comes to the direction of the album. It's no mystery that Young Buck is a hard core rapper so Fm warning listeners now that this album is raw in content Young Buck will say exactly what he feels and leave the lyrical approach (punch-lines) to his G-Unit partner Lloyd Banks. Besides a couple of laid back joints like the first single produced by Jazze Pha titled "I Know You Want Me" or "You Ain't...
...and Pimp C. "Four Kings", is also produced by Jazzy Pha. "I...
