R.I.P. Pimp C


One half of my favorite rap group has died today. Pimp C was found dead this morning in his hotel room in Hollywood. It is a sad day for the South and rap music in general. Having grown up in the South myself, UGK were a staple for southern rap, and have been ever since. They helped pioneer the genre along side a handful of others. From there first full length release in 1992 "Too Hard Too Swallow" to their latest self titled double disk "Underground Kings" they truly became Kings in the rap community. If you've never listened to UGK buy "Pocket Full of Stones" or any of their classic releases.This is a true loss...
