Rapper Pimp C Found Dead

Pimp C who was 33 was found dead in this sixth floor room at the Mondrian Hotel after a call was made to 911. Homicide detectives are investigating.

The L.A.’s coroner’s office said it does not suspect foul play, but they cannot reveal a cause of death until after an autopsy and toxicology has been completed.

Pimp C was born Chad Butler on December 29th 1973 in Port Arthur, Texas.

Pimp C and Bun B formed the rap duo UGK in the 1980’s and appeared on such hits as Jay-Z’s “Big Pimpin’” and Three 6 Mafia’s “Sippin’ On Some Sizzurp”. The pair helped put Houston on the rap map.

Jive Records released a statement saying that “We mourn the unexpected loss of Chad. He was truly a thoughtful and kind-hearted person. He will be remembered for his talent and profound influence as a pioneer in bringing southern rap to the forefront. He will be missed and our prayers remain with his family and Bun B. I’ve known Chad since he was 18, and we loved him dearly and he was a cherished member of the Jive family.”

Our thoughts are with the family at this time
