:( RIP Pimp C.

mega-lolz at this from a friend's post on another msg board: "man, my friend text messaged me today and said when she heard that pimp c died, she wondered in the back of her head if he finally actually did eat so many shrimp that he got iodine poisoning."

awesome stuff amon.

Man, that Bun B interview almost brough tears to my eyes.

I loved him, and he loved me, and we're never ashamed to say it. And I know we're in the era of "pause" and "no homo" and all that, and that's all fine and dandy, but if you really love your homie, don't feel like you can't tell him you love him.

That’s why we had Leo Nocentelli on so much shit, the lead guitarist for the Meters. A lot of people don’t know that he played lead guitar on a lot of the stuff for Super Tight and Ridin’ Dirty.

!!

yeah, that is so great

iTunes store has a big "Remembering Pimp C" block prominently displayed on the front of the site today.

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.

fuck.

:--(

oh man

damn

sleep apnea too. sad.

Bun B's MySpace:

“We are deeply saddened to see false rumors run rampant that Pimp C had overdosed on perscription medication! The Los Angeles Coroner confirmed that medication Chad took for Sleep Apnea conflicted with his prescribed cough syrup and that he did not pass away due to an over dose! So please, do not lets this mans name tarnish over false information!”

sleep apnea is some scary shit, for real.

otm

Pimp C is dead. now on to Pimp D.

I can't wait for pimp burt stanton to die.

sorry for you, but I'm Pimp T, so you've got quite a ways to wait.

pretty funny

usually burt is just an idiot as opposed to outright offensive

early burt

2 years

wow

:-(

did he do much production work aside from ugk/solo stuff?

TAKE THAT MONKEY SHIT OFF YOU EMBARASSING US

And then when I got on my knees that night to pray
I asked God why he let these killas live and take my homeboy's son away
Man if you got kids show em you love em cuz God jus might call em home
Cuz one day you here but baby the next day you gone

yeah, "I asked God why he let these killas live and take my homeboy's son away" gets me every time. amazing, amazing verse.

I love almost everything UGK has ever released but that verse, and that song ultimately elevate Ridin' Dirty over the rest.
