All we can do is wait at this point...
However, if he was shot I think that TMZ would have been all over that. A story about a celebrity being murdered is the kind of stuff that they live for.

yeaa, i also don't think he was shot
i hope he wasn't poisoned
i don't wanna be negative, but seems 2 be common knowledge pimp fucked round with that white girl quite a bit
also (my own assumption) that purple drink can fuck u up

w/e it was, RIP 2 da pimp

Jive records statement:

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.

Typed by: OHHLA Webmaster DJ Flash

[Chorus: Pimp C]
I wonder if it's a heaven up there for real G's
For all the niggaz in the game that be sellin cheese
I wonder if it's a heaven up there for real G's
For all the niggaz in the game, in the game - uhh~!

[Pimp C]
I wonder if it's a heaven for all the drug dealers
For all the hot boys, strippers and the thug niggaz
Uhh - my wife you can say a nigga drank too
She ain't bad, she what you doin what the paper do
I wonder if they got a spot for all the Tupacs
Dawgs in pens and the boys with the weed spots
I keep a pistol on me cause these niggaz got 'em too
Run up on me nigga I'm gon' do what I gotta do
(If lovin Screw is wrong, I don't wanna be right)
Sippin art and smokin Lite Brite
The preacher talkin 'bout us in the pulpit
Behind closed doors he be on some day shit
I'm out here in the streets this ain't no place to play bitch
Show some weakness come up better catch a case bitch
I wanna change, but this the wrong time
I wanna stop, but these niggaz is harder now

[Chorus] - 2X

[Bun B]
Late at night, when I'm layin off in the bed
Countin bread, some crazy shit be goin through my head
I be wonderin 'bout this life that I live (that I live)
Aiyyo God got some better shit he can give (he can give)
I wonder if it's a better place for the innocent kids
In the ghetto they gotta suffer for shit that they ain't did
By no fault of they own, goin through struggles and strife
Havin to deal with a fucked up life (that's cold)
I know they thinkin nobody knows, or nobody cares
Why can't nobody see the shit, when everybody stares
Man we losin the children, we losin the youth
Cause you motherfuckers won't tell 'em the truth
So they runnin 'round unprepared, and uninformed
It's understood that's why the hood is dumpin on 'em
We gotta show 'em it's a better way (F'REAL) at any cost
Cause they the future if we don't save 'em then we already lost mayne

[Chorus] - 2X

[Pimp C]
I wonder if I'm gon' ever see Screw again
One foot in the street, got one foot in the pen

[Bun B]
Got me wonderin if it's a heaven for them d-boys
Cause if it is then I better get on my knees boy

[Pimp C]
I got cheese boy, I'm sellin niggaz sneeze boy
I'm playin in the candy torture rim with TV's like my Roy

[Bun B]
I'm wonderin if it's a heaven for MC's
Like the Freaky Tah's, the Big L's and B.I.G.'s

[Pimp C]
I wonder if they got a heaven for the convicts
Niggaz doin life, I saw old men in that bitch

[Bun B]
I wish today that the Lord take me away
I'd get to see my old man and I wonder what he would say

[Pimp C]
I feel that, I miss Munroe too
If I could bring him back I'd give up all this shit fool

[Bun B]
But on the cool you know what else I hope is true
They got a heaven for me and got a heaven for you, too

[Chorus] - 2X

Rapper Pimp C's death being treated as homicide

By ANDREW DANSBY
Copyright 2007 Houston Chronicle

Rapper Pimp C of the rap duo UGK was found dead this morning in a Hollywood hotel room. Local police said his death is being treated as a homicide.

Police responded to a 911 call and found the 33-year-old rapper (real name Chad Butler), dead in his bed at the Mondrian Hotel. His publicist confirmed his death this afternoon.

Pimp C had performed in Los Angeles last Saturday.

UGK — which also featured Bun B — formed in Port Arthur in the late-'80s. The duo released its major label debut, Too Hard to Swallow, in 1992, and drew more attention when it appeared on Jay-Z's hit single Big Pimpin' in 2000.

Any momentum from that guest spot was halted when Butler was imprisoned in January 2002 after falling behind on community service required after pleading no contest to aggravated assault. He was paroled in December 2005 after serving half of his sentence.

His release initiated national interest in a new recording by a reunited UGK. The album was scheduled for release in late 2006, but was oft-delayed. The two-CD opus Underground Kingz was released in August and debuted No. 1, UGK's first chart-topper.

Foul play is always the first thing looked for... but if it is "murder" then somebody is doing a good job of keeping certain details out of the press right now.
