Well as you probably may know the Hip Hop nation has lost one of its Legends..Here's what happened...
Homicide detectives are now at the Mondrian Hotel investigating the death.Pimp C, real name Chad Butler -- and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room this morning. He was 33. L.A. County Fire responded to a 911 call at the Mondrian Hotel, located on trendy Sunset Strip in Hollywood. They arrived to his sixth floor hotel room to find him dead in bed.
UGK is best known for appearing on the Jay-Z track "Big Pimpin'" in 2000, and more recently with Outkast on the song "International Player's Anthem (I Choose You)." Pimp C had just performed with fellow rapper Too Short at the "House of Blues" in L.A. on Saturday night.
Capt. Ed Winter of the L.A. County Coroner's office says that it appears as though rapper Pimp C died of natural causes in a Hollywood hotel room today.We're told no drug paraphernalia or other drugs were found in the room. The rapper, we've learned, was found fully clothed on top of the bed. He did not seem to have fallen or injured himself and he was positioned on his side.Winter said it did not appear that there was anyone else in the room at the time of his death. An autopsy will be performed and toxicology test results will be available in six to eight weeks.
.....Pimp C (UGK) was the one to introduce us to these "Country Rap Tunes" as he would put it. If you had to opportunity to meet him, you would have known that he was just a down to earth cool dude. He will be truly missed!
