"I had a lot of n---as that was down with me/Or should I say a lot of n---as hung around with me." Even from beyond the grave, Pimp C is holding fast to his principles. The late Texas legend's third posthumous album--the first not to be issued by Rap-a-Lot--hits stores Dec. 4, eight years to the day after he passed at 33. Long Live the Pimp is set to feature contributions from Lil Wayne, A$AP Rocky, Ty Dolla $ign, T.I., 8Ball & MJG along with his longtime UGK partner Bun B. And on "Friends," his latest single, Nas and Juicy J stop by to echo the pimp's thoughts and to pay their respects. The album will come out via the Nas-operated Mass Appeal; it can also be pre-ordered via iTunes.
