Pimp C’s Funeral Set for This Weekend in Hometown of Port Arthur, TX

 •  XXL Magazine  •  by XXL Staff  •  84 Comments

Funeral services for late UGK member Pimp C will be held this weekend in his hometown of Port Arthur, TX according to the Hannah Funeral Home, which is handling the service. According to the Port Arthur News, the funeral home declined to confirm a specific time or date, but services are expected to be held on either Saturday or Sunday at the Robert A. “Bob” Bowers Civic Center. Adam Saunders, director of the center told the Port Arthur News that he is working with Pimp’s family on arrangements for the funeral. Although rumors have circulated that a slew of rap artists, including UGK collaborator Jay-Z, will attend the service, Port Arthur Police Chief Mark Blanton told the paper he has not received any concrete information that might assist the department in any planning for crowd management. In related news, Pimp’s longtime partner Bun B learned on Thursday that UGK has been nominated for a Grammy for “Int’l Player’s Anthem,” their collaboration with Outkast that appears on the Underground Kingz album. This marks the second nod for the veteran duo, who were previously nominated along with Jay-Z for their song “Big Pimpin.”

    RIP my god-brother. I don’t know what I’m gonna do without you to fuss and yell at. You were taken home far too soon. But, GOD always has his own reasons for what he does and we are not to question it.

    Not till today was I able to admit this and do it publicly. You will always be in our hearts and minds forever. UGK 4 Life!

    Please keep the family in prayer as we do something that is more difficult than life itself and that’s saying GOOD-BYE.

    I will continue to hold Mama up and be there for her 24/7 as I have been. I call the house and hear your voice on the voicemail and I still get chills. Nobody knew you like we (the family and close friends) did. You never held your tongue and spoke your mind no matter the consequences. You were a true Nicca! But Our Nicca!

    Your Big Sis!

    Chad used to come to Crowley (LA) every summer when we were growing up. His grandmother lived up the block. Who knew that Chad Butler would grow up to become “Pimp C” and rep that P.A.T.? He is proof that if you have a dream you can make it come true. Peace to Chad Butler a.k.a “Pimp C”….

    out of all the bad news that has happened this last week, i just hope that the whole hiphop communitie can respect young pimps wishes and let all the beef in the south go, and relize who the real king of the south was, and always will be. just because you say you are the king don’t mean shit if you ain’t humble and wise as pimp was, people should recognize true leadership when they see it. don’t go looking for beef. let the beef find you. and how you handle it shows the true definition of a king. UGK has brought a new meaning to the word king in my eyes and i hope everyone else can see it to. thank you pimp c and bun b for stepping up and showing hiphop what it’s all about to be where they are. R.I.P. PIMP C. BUN KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP IT TRILL LIKE YOU ALWAYS DO. YOU GOT THE WHOLE SOUTH ON YOUR BACK. JUST KEEP YOUR HEAD UP AND KEEP THE LEGACY GOING JUST LIKE PIMP WOULD HAVE WANTED……
