Not sure where you're located, but they're pretty big down south. They've been around for quite some time.

Hawaii, which says a lot, considering we're always 2 hours late to the party.

Thanks for the link. I do recall "Ridin' Dirty" and definitely remember his appearance on Jay-Z's "Big Pimpin'" now.

I didn't believe it since i saw it on mediatakeout but I guess it's true....wasn't he just released from prison in 06?

My prayers go out to his family and friends...


I'm gonna go listen to "Big Pimpin" and "International Players Anthem"

The details in the Billboard article are extremely vague. What did he die from? Who called 911?

And BLUTANG, why do you doubt his reported age? Why would someone lie about that?

I read a report that he died of natural causes apparently. Of course this is before a toxicology and whatever else they may do. Dude was a legend. Its "sad" that people think they, UGK, blew up off of Big Pimpin. They were already like 3 albums into the game at that point.

Yeah, I was shocked by the age too considering how long UGK has been out. And he does look older than 33...however, sometimes when people live harder lives they tend to look a lot older than what they really are.

Nevertheless, people in the entertainment industry---especially music---lie about their ages all of the time.

Yes, sir.

RIP, Pimp C. Hip hop is losing.
