This is an utter tragedy. "So I just smoke my weed, and try to clear my mind/ Baby, I wish I had the power to turn back the hands of time" RIP Sweet James Jones
This sucks. After Bun B was pushin the "Free Pimp C" movement, he passes away after not being out for long.
NOOOO! Not Pimp C. My favorite song by UGK has to be......... Ay, yo, welcome to the world of S-H-O-R-T, Texas, where them trill-ass *****s be livin' naughty. Rollin' up hoes like turtles in half a shell; Open up my trunk and let's see what I have to sell. I got this dope, if you hoes got the paper, And if you a faker, then you'll meet ya ****in' maker... 'Cause I ain't takin' no **** on my cuts; The UGK Posse got the big, big nuts. Yo, so who's a bold b****? Try to make a sale, you bettah bale Before they find you in a ditch. This dope ain't yo dope, And these cuts ain't yo cuts, yo, But this is my 12-Gauge in yo mutha****in' guts. Don't make me pump this b**** and unload, Get yo feet, mutha****a; hit the mutha****in' road... And don't even try to come back, *****, yo 'Cause me, Dre', and C got fingas on a fat trigga. We makin' too much money movin' weight And befo' ya hit my cuts, you bettah get ya **** straight. 'Cause it ain't safe to try and show yo ass up; Street sweeper boomin', col' blow yo ass up. And ain't nobody scared to blast, We pull them triggas fast, And then we bailin' on yo b**** ass. But if yo **** is legit, Then you can join my crew: U-S-T Graduatin' Class of '92, and Short Texas Chorus: Blue Light: *****s on the track droppin' **** about TX; As long as there's fiends, that's them tax-free dope checks. Young mutha****as at the age of 16, Cookin' up some yayo for the local drug king. The market's not open, so they call it closed-circuit; Short, short Texas, watch them ??? work it. 5.0s on the scene, make the all time drug bust, Out next week slangin' some mo' white dust. Real, Oh so trill...the lights, no glamour; At the end of my time is spent in the slama. ****in' up the **** with the 9-inch chrome, So, all you scary, got-it-good, young-ass b****es stay home. And if you get picked up by the laws, Don't cry, 'cause it's for a lost cause. Clientele, I sold yayo, In jail, make bail Some laws too short It's constant dope sales. Stupid mutha****a smokin' dummies and 'noid in jail. On U-S-T, Crack University... Home of the Fightin' Fiends: The streets reimburse me. Cops findin' my stash? Yo, what could the worst be? There was some good-for-nothing covers turnin' dirty... b****, I'm dead and swole in a ditch. Just the other day, a fiend in ya Lexus, Callin' my name, Blue Light, and Short Texas... Chorus: Pimp C: I don't give a **** who you be, You ain't 'bout to sell no ****in' dope in P-A-T. You can be Tony Montana in this b****, Have a boat-load of dope, But ya still ain't sellin' ****. 'Cause we don't know ya face, So I don't really figure... We gon' let ya come up and sell dope in Texas, *****. See, you don't understand it's our mutha****in' cuts, So, steppin' like I said befo', And take ya mutha****in' nuts. After the last ***** brought his ****in' ass down, Tryin' to sell that ****in' dope that he bought in H-Town; Couldn't sell in Houston, so I guess he figured, I'ma go to Port Arthur and run them ****in' *****s. Brought his ****in' gun, Guess he shoulda bust... So they took his ****, and put his dick in the dust. Stupid-ass ***** had the nerve to come back, Rollin' on them cuts in his white Cadillac. Got to the block, and the guns just exploded, Shot his car up with the 9, end of the clip, and didn't know it. Sent a ***** home to his mama like a ho, They jacked all his money, And they stole all his doe. Can't be trill in the Villa of the Trillas, 'Cause where I'm from, *****, House some mutha****in' killas. So, have yo **** attached, before you come check us... Pimp C, b****...P.A., home of Short Texas.
I've been listening to UGK for over 15 years. They're earlier music brings back a lot of memories and they just kept getting better over the years. It's hard to believe that Pimp C is no longer here. I can't believe Houston has lost so much of its dynamic musical talent. RIP Pimp C.
I agree in some way but i can tell you that in the past few years a lot of America started to give UGK their due.
Was watching Jay-Z at a show several years back. he went through most his hit songs and some lesser known songs from his first two albums. Some of it almost medley style when they only do half the song. He got to Big Pimpin (this was a year after it came out). People were like a-ight, just him walking around up there the only one with a mic but okay then... After chorus, from out of nowhere Bun B makes a surprise entrance to the stage for his part in the song! Everyone was all "aaawe yeah, nice!" He does his usual "thang".. Then PIMP C comes bouncin on the stage outta nowhere for his part - reaction was "Pimp C, too OH SH-T!!" Definitely go the crowd pumped up & was the best part of the entire show....
Wow! Just wow! I don't know what to say...this was so sudden. I've been a huge UGK fan since they were still...well...'underground'. So sad...there albums have been great over the years. True music legends.

Everyone that went to UT from 97-01 has "WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT DEM TEXAS BOYS!" burnt into their heads.
