I can totally understand why rap fans of today kinda don’t talk about Pimp C’s old music. It’s not PC whatsoever and he’d probably be canceled from beyond the grave if people looked up his output beyond international Players Anthem. Anyways,I want to appreciate the fact how Chad Pimp C Butler created music so real and so anti-artsy that his style sorta became art anyway.

I’m specifically speaking on his solo run,he had two albums by himself,none of them were perfect but their definitely southern classics. There’s filler on each of them and their not mastered very well but who tf cares,”Sweet James Jones Stories” and “Pimpalation” was pure street music meant for pure street dudes. None of these albums are cohesive whatsoever,your just listening to a day in the life of Pimp C and that’s all what people wanted.

The sound of each of these albums is the closest thing to rap fusing country without losing its flavor. Some people will say it’s a dated sound and it sorta is but you can’t deny how authentically southern Pimp C’s music comes across. His music sounds like dirt roads,collargreens,countryside riding,it sounds like the south

Lyrically,he just doesn’t give a f*** and he doesn’t come across as trying to not give a f*** either. He comes across unapologetic,raw and toxic but unlike guys like Future and to an extent Drake who try and come across like this in their music,there’s a real conviction in the way Pimp C delivers everything(for better or worse). You get a real sense he isn’t necessarily a character,he has no metaphors or similes in his rhymes,it’s all straight forward no bs,it’s grown man rap,something missing from today’s climate of rap.

His music was dirty and unfiltered but guess what,it was all based in reality. He feels like he’s almost a successor to Tupac’s Makaveli where PAC was planning on becoming rawer than ever,I’m not saying he’s Pac but I think his approach to rapping was the same as 96 Pac. Like I said,I can understand why people do not discuss Pimp C,at least not on the internet like that. He didn’t leave a lot of questions unanswered,he didn’t make music with art in mind,he made the purest street rap there was.

I mean,he was still legendary with Bun B and UGK but his solo work just felt different. If I have one big critique about today’s rappers,it’s how they all try to come across as rebels,even the street dudes. I guess the thing I appreciate about guys like Jeezy,Gucci and Pimp back then was that authenticity was king and Pimp C seemed to be the leader

Cocaine

Real

Haven’t spun those in a while might do that today now

WE SOME FAMILY MEN

Stop poisoning the P**** population wit ya ole sick d***

He was too much man

I still remember him going off on Atlanta

Underground Kingz is top 10 double albums in Hip Hop.

“Don’t come to us acting like a straight up g and you letting these boys buss up ya back”

I really wonder would Pimp C actually be cool with Rocky

What percent of rap fans of today have heard multiple UGK albums? Let alone Pimp C's solo work?

Today’s fan really doesn’t need to hear Pimp C’s music tbh. The music in itself is dated somewhat but it fascinates me how we may never get another rapper as unfiltered Pimp ever again,

Oh no, not music that sounds like the time it was made in. Good thing we have all this music right now that is timeless. Surely it won't sound dated.

not nearly enough. and even fewer have heard the classic interviews.

just from a cultural standpoint everyone should be familiar with UGK and Texas in general.

Pimp C one of my favorite rappers oat. He was a hell of a producer too

He’s cancelled !

Those early Rap A Lot days

Outside of Texas/ Southern niggas, probably not too many. Your casual listner would just know him from Big Pimpin & Int'l Player's Anthem. It's a shame too because he & Bun B made heat together. Sweet Jones was a pretty good producer as well.
