When I was in college back in 1995, my roommate came back from winter break in Houston with a UGK CD. I remember cruising in his “hooptie” (mid 80’s Pontiac Parisienne) and listening to Pocket Full of Stones. Good times….”now what ya’ll know about them Texas boys!!!” RIP Pimp C.

I remember you had the website back in the day. that was when the internet first came out to me, and i was searching for UGK stuff. that was like the only web site out and you had posted a link to our site promoting a underground record called Regg Dogg and the Cru present Blood Money… linking the take it off video…. that was like back in 1998. People used to come up to us and say they saw us on UGK’s website, which was big back then because we were still in high school… Anyway good work you were the first on the Internet with UGK and helped keep their name out here when they were struggling with the business side and no records were coming out with singles. I remeber back then my lil brother was in high school and opened up a show for them, and then Above the Law was performeing and everybody kept screaing…. U G K… UGK … until above the law walked off the stage… Anyways thats my memories RIP to the Pimp. I am happy to see that you all did what you did because it got a whole nother group of people into the internet and were the FIRST to represent the trill MUSIC.

In 1998, my brother and I started an Underground geocities fan site. We noticed there was nothing online about UGK, and went ahead with it just as a hobby. When I left for college, Derrich ran with the site putting up pictures, showtimes, and lyrics. One day he got an email from a random person claiming to be Pimp C. My bro called him out and said “if you’re Pimp C, then call me at my number.” Sure enough, Pimp called and we got invited to see their show at Astro Arena in Houston in 2001. We got to meet UGK and took photos of the performance. We even got to eat a home-cooked meal courtesy of Mama Wes (Pimp C’s mom). I met them a couple more times, and my brother many more times. Pimp C was funny and didn’t give a fuck. He gave me the term “let my nuts hang” which for me displays a confidence and pride in what you do. UGK is my favorite rap group, and Pimp’s jazzy compositions are among my favorite songs. I will miss his work as a producer and the colorful, live southern twang he so effortlessly configured in his expression. I’m gonna miss Pimp C, and I’ll always remain a fan. RIP Chad Butler aka Pimp C 1974-2007
