TMZ is reporting that Pimp C, real name Chad Butler — and one half of the rap duo UGK, was found dead in a hotel room Tuesday morning. It has also been reported that he died of natural causes.

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 the 33 year old rapper dead in the room. [SOURCE]

The story is still developing and we will update as soon as any real info comes out.

Our condolences go out to his family and Bun B.

UPDATE:


Jive Records just sent out the following statement regarding Pimp C’s death:

It is with great sadness that Jive Records announces the passing of Chad “Pimp C” Butler, a member of the celebrated rap duo UGK (Underground Kingz). Jive Records’ President and CEO Barry Weiss states: “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.”

Born in Port Arthur, Texas, Butler’s father was a trumpet player who played professionally with Solomon Burke. Outside of his father, the 33-year old rapper’s influences varied, ranging from Bobby Bland, Jimmy McGriff, the 1960’s Motown artists to Run DMC. Butler met his inseparable partner Bernard “Bun B” Freeman in high school where they formed UGK. In 1992, the duo signed to Jive Records and went on release a total of eight albums for the label. They earned their highest achievement earlier this year when their most recent album, UGK (Underground Kingz), debuted in the number one position on the album pop chart. According to the New York Times, UGK “helped inspire a generation of Southern hip-hop stars, from OutKast to Lil Wayne.”

Bun B is not available for comment at this time.

I hate to sound so insincere and I TOTALLY agree that this is indeed a sad event HOWEVER we have to remember that the Lord brings people home EVERYDAY! Millions of people all over the country loses people close to them. Somebody lost their mother last week, somebody lost their father this week, somebody will lose a sibling before this week is over with…..I just am amazed at how some people on here are so surprised that people pass away…..I guess because so many people that were in the entertainment industry has passed away recently is the reason people are so shocked. Whatever the case I do pray for all those that are mourning over those that have passed whether you are a reader on here or a celebrity and can only ask that the Lord bring them comfort in their lives during this time of transition.

I can’t believe the so many deaths that has come about in these last 2 months of 07 ‘.Pimp C was a living legend and now all we can go about is what he has done. But he will always be a great part of hip hop. I only wish the best for his soul and may he rest in peace. XOXO - ONE OF HIS BIGGEST FANS

@ Confuzed - I was thinking the SAME thing. Details on Spice 1 are sketchy other than he was shot in the chin & chest (near his heart). He is expected to pull through & hopefully he does.

@ #19 AMEN.

Man I can’t believe this. I’m kind of at a loss right now. I’ve rocked with UGK for YEARS! The first song I was put on to was e was Pocket Full of Stones. I know they’re not perfect and haven’t lived perfect lives but I’ve always respected them and rocked with them. Bun B is my dude but Pimp C’s voice was always so dope to me with that country high pitch. Ha. Mannn I really can’t believe he’s gone…… Yo he just got out! This is crazy! Surreal…

Life is soooo extremely precious and there are so many things about life that we don’t understand and may never understand. All we can do in this life on earth is, try extremely hard to do God’s will, ask forgiveness when we fall short, then work on bettering ourselves everyday of our lives, appreciate, relish, and make the most of every moment we have, help as many people as we can, and love as hard as we can. Everything else is in God’s hands. He is the author of our lives. He knows what’s best for us.

I pray that God has mercy on his soul and opens him with loving arms. My deepest sympathy goes to his family, friends, and Bun B.

REST IN ETERNAL PEACE!!!!! Chad aka Pimp C

“I wonder if it’s a heaven up there for real G’s” Heaven- Pimp C.

I know I’m late on this ish…my brother texted me earlier today and I could not believe it. I’m a more recent fan of UGK (I also first heard them on Jay-Z’s ‘Big Pimpin’) but I’ve been a fan ever since. Even through that little drama that happened a while back when people were pissed at Pimp for dissing the ATL, I listened to the interview and he was speakin the straight TRUTH! I was just listening to a song UGK has with David Banner and Kandi, “Suicide Doors”. Man, I was bumpin that shyt hard! He was truly a talent and he had an old soul. My condolences go out to his famliy and to Bun B. R.I.P and may his music live on forever.

Like the old saying goes. only the good die young. Like Dr Donda West, Sean Taylor , Pimp.C, Lola Brown, Jam Master Jay, Malcomb X, Dr Martin Luther King. and all my Brother ’s and Sister’s of all races who fighting and dying in this ”BULL SHIT WAR”. But the good thing about it is that all of us fool’s who are still in the land of the living, get to watch people like Bobby Brown, Whitney Houston, Flavor Flav, and those two ”GHETTO BITCHES ON VH-1 I LOVE NEW YORK 2 with her Stink ass Mother right beside her. Yes it’s good to be ALIVE.

Exactly. Unfortunately death is a part of life. Life is a gift, which is why it’s called present. And life is also very short. We all need to take note, learn and appreciate those that surround us. I hope everyone who has been affected by his death find peace and strength in this time of loss.

When I first heard the news, I’ll admit I was a little blowed that someone that was from the south wasn’t afraid to speak his mind about southern artist and how wack they were. But then I felt an overwhelming amount of Joy after the news set in that “Another Wack South Rapper Is Dead” this is great for the hip hop community, everybody is talkin about we lost a legend, honestly you lost a fat talentless bastard that should have never made it into the industry to begin with…

Uh its a tragedy but Imma need you to not put pimp c and martin luther king under the same category.

I gonna keep it real I know he didnt get “assasinated ” like some people seem to try to be implying. I know down where they are from a lot of dudes die unnessecerily from drinking that sizzurp shit recreationally . That shit gives you heart attacks but they drink the shit like kool-aid after how many people already died from it.

Do you have any respect? i think not. Besides him being a rapper hes a human being. show some fucking respect for him and his family. As far as you saying something about southern rap is wack yeah it is. But what that got to do with Pimp C. He didn’t make no bullshit music. so dont put him in that category. Ugk has been making good music for years. so shut that shit up. Im from TEXAS and we hurting because we lost a legend. He may not be a legend in your eyes but he was to all the people in TEXAS.
