R.I.P. Pimp C (December 29, 1973 - December 4, 2007)

Yesterday, firefighters responding to a 9-1-1 call found rapper Chad "Pimp C" Butler dead in the upscale Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, California. Investigators have no suspicion of foul play, but a natural death? At 33!? It just doesn't sound right.

I honestly can't say I was a huge fan of Pimp C, but so many people in the rap game regard him as a legend, and I would be quite the silly bitch to believe that was just hype. Without him, a lot of rappers wouldn't rap the way they do now, so his influence is appreciated.
