Today, we honor the life and legacy of Chad Butler, better known to the world as Pimp C. On this day in 2007, we lost not just a music icon, but a visionary who forever changed the landscape of hip-hop and Southern culture.
Pimp C didn’t just create music—he crafted anthems that gave the South a voice, unapologetically showcasing its flavor, struggles, and triumphs. As one half of UGK, alongside Bun B, he influenced generations of artists and helped cement Southern rap as a dominant force in the industry. From iconic classics like International Players Anthem to countless collaborations, his sound and swagger remain unmatched.
But beyond the music, Chad’s authenticity and larger-than-life presence inspired a movement. His influence echoes in today’s music, fashion, and culture, proving that his impact is timeless.
To my dear friend , we send you love, prayers, and strength as we celebrate his legacy today. Thank you for continuing to keep his memory alive.
Pimp C is more than a legend—he’s an eternal part of the culture. Long live the Pimp. 🕊️🎤
