TrillSouth

So they announced that there is going to be a Pimp C Award at the Ozone Awards each year now for the trillest artist out there who’s not afraid to speak their mind. I can only hope that this ends up as a good thing and not some bullshit using Pimp’s name. They take awards seriously sure, but they better take this award seriously because this man Pimp C was about something. He spoke about issues and wasnt afraid to speak his mind even if he got a backlash from it. So who will be the winner of the first Pimp C award, thats going to be interesting to see.

Word is that Rap A Lot is preparing to release a Pimp C greatest hits disc at the beginning of June. I’ve held onto the cover for a minute now while trying to find more info and haven’t found much yet. So how many of you are ready to cop this as soon as it hits the street? I’ve got plenty of Pimp C mixtapes but if this is well put together Im willing to grab a copy and play it in the ride for the rest of my life.

You know I write SOHH Dirty and I keep the two sites pretty seperate but today Im posting about something that I was really happy to see, so Im putting it up on both spots at the same time this time. It’s Bun B returning to the stage with many of the Houston heavyweights and rap community at his back. Check this out as I wrote today and follow inside to see the video clip of Bun speaking the morning of the show on the local news.

It’s been a minute now and Bun B is back after a little grieving and grinding. This Friday he took the stage with the support of the Houston hip hop community and plenty of heavyweights in the game to celebrate Pimp C and continue the UGK legacy. So first a little clip that SOHH Gyant pointed out to me from a local Houston station where they spoke with Bun the day of the show and he spoke on a few things.

that was real shit that Bun had to say and later that night the show went down without a problem. Heavyweights in the house like J Prince, ESG, Mike Jones, Slim Thug, UGK Records, Pimp C’s mother, and too many others to name. I copped a little pic of Bun that night from my homeboy Matt Sonzalas HoustonSoReal blog, I know you Houston heads already know that site. Let’s hope he can take this on tour. It’s no longer RIP Pimp C, it’s Long Live Pimp C! Read the rest of this entry »

Well the official news is finally in. It’s no longer natural causes but instead been called “accidental.” So you might wonder how is it an accident. It appears that as many of us Pimp had a condition called Sleep Apnea which makes it difficult for someone to breathe while sleeping and often causes the stoppage of breathing for short moments while someone sleeps and or has difficulty sleeping. This condition affects many people so you might or probably already have heard of it in the past. This coupled with some high levels of codeine in his system, although the coroner doesn’t say from what, caused the death. Codeine slows your system and this with his condition appears to have caused an accidental death.

So you know last year Ozone Magazine started up a Chronicles of Pimp C article in which the Pimp would share his views and opinions on all kinds of things. Good info for people trying to get in the biz or just opinions about shit going on in the game. Well unfortunately we all know Pimp passed and this page here is the last of his articles submitted to Ozone and I thought you all might want to check it out.

I found this recent video on MTV News where Bun B is talking about life after Pimp C. He’s busy in the studio right now trying to put in work on his second solo release and Im sure it wont be without content remembering Pimp. Im already saying this album is going to be a must buy, so listen to the clip and let the world know what you think. RIP Pimp.

Well I already knew this from the start, or at least I was pretty sure and I knew Pimp wasn’t one to get into all of those things that they talked about in the rumors. The coroner is saying cause of death will be determined still in a few weeks but has gone ahead and ruled out foul play as a possibility. That’s good to know and it also should tell you what you already should know. We never know how much time we have here and its all a big crap shoot. Play it to win and play it for keeps, treat people good and get what you deserve while you’re out there, and appreciate those you have and be serious about your time. Anyway RIP C, the game won’t forget.

Even after his passing the people still remember Pimp C and I get the feeling he’s going to be influencing the game for a long time to come. Here’s a track recorded shortly before his death with Three 6 Mafia. You’ll recognize some of the sound and beat, but it’s not really a hit until Pimp C blesses it with some game. I dont have much else to say about this one, RIP homeboy.

After being denied permission to attend the funeral of Pimp C, C Murder has turned around and put out his own tribute track. It’s brand new and worth listening to. People won’t soon forget Pimp and his impact was greater than might even be known still to this point. C was definitely influenced by the man. So listen to the track titled ‘Take Your Time’ and remember that homie Pimp C for another minute or two and get out on your grind and do something with your life.

Unlike other places Im not going to post up any Pimp C funeral videos to promote my site and get mad views. I want to remember the life of the man and how he influenced us all in this game today. But with that said Pimp was put to rest today in Port Arthur and here’s a little article I found covering the story that seems to cover it fairly well and will let you know how things went down today. RIP Chad, the game won’t forget you. Read the rest of this entry »
