No he would never be in The Source as one of the greatest MC's of all time and Yes, he did spend the majority of the last 6 years in prison for assault charges. But if you are like me, and you grew up in the southern half of the United States in the early to mid to late 90's, I can only hope you were introduced to UGK and all the good times the group had to offer. Pimp C was the man. No doubt. And the fact that he was just recently released from a 8 year prison sentence makes his untimely death even more tragic and ironic.
So, if you have a minute, and you want to give some respect, take a moment for Pimp C and think about the people you love.
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. - Pimp C (1973-2007)
For any of those who have slept on Pimp C, here is one of my favorite and more recent songs that UGK put out. The video originally released just after Pimp C's own release from prision.
