R.I.P. Pimp C

[The Don]

Texas rapper Pimp C was found dead in a hotel room this morning. Along with Bun B, the 33-year-old rapper made up the legendary Texas duo UGK.

According to TMZ, L.A. County Fire department responded to a 911 call at the swanky Mondrian Hotel, located in Hollywood's Sunset Strip. Respondents found Pimp C, born Chad Butler, lying in bed in his sixth floor room, dead.

UGK achieved national fame when the duo appeared on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with their hit "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)" featuring OutKast from the group's latest album, Underground Kingz, on Jive Records.

This is fucking sad. He got out of prison earlier this year and then U.G.K. put out one of the best albums of the year and I wake up to find out he's dead.

Because I saw it and I'm too lazy to use Wikipedia right now.
