I remember standing at the T-Mobile stand at Jefferson Mall looking at a Blackberry when my uncle text messaged me and let me know that Pimp C had died. It seems like it’s been only a few weeks since that day but in actuality its been a whole year. After a complete calendar it still seems like its not really true. Pimp C was much too much of a real nigga for us to be down here sobbing over the fact that he isn’t’ with us anymore. Like when Pac and Biggie died it was for real sad, I guess because we never really saw it comin. Not that Pimp passing isn’t sad, its just that the dude who said “bend over let me see that hairy asshole” just had way too much fun to die.

It teaches us all a deep life lesson. No one is exempt from death and we are in fact here today and gone tomorrow. I thought about it earlier today, how Pimp’s passing was almost two fold. When I first heard he had to spend some years in the pen I was heart broken; obviously for selfish reasons. UGK had just dropped Dirty Money and it was aces. He was as close to being dead at that point as you can be. The songs and album he released while he was in were kind of like the posthumous work Pac continues to drop to this day. I feel like Pimp achieved legendary status even before he went it. So to me as well as the rest of the world he is more of a legend after his demise.
