I'm from Cleveland and for some reason in the late 90's and early 2000's - Houston had a big impact on our region, from Fat Pat, to UGK, to the whole Screwed up Movement.
But I was introduced to UGK and Pimp in 1997 or 98. Believe it or not, the lamest dude I knew during the time got me hip to Pimp C. I was in middle school and the lame kid would be listeing to Ridin' Dirty literally everyday of that summer before school started..I was very intrigued because both Bun and Pimp had distinct sounds and it was raw, and you can tell they were keeping it real in their rhymes.
As the world turns with 50 was probably the song that stood and really grabbed my interest into UGK.
Ever since than I was an actual fan, and this was before they actually went mainstream and joined Jay Z.
After that song with 50, Jay jumped on the bandwagon and joined UGK for Big Pimpin. So technically, 50 influneced Jay to make that song with them (same type of pimping content). So in a way, 50 Cent introduced me to UGK along with the lame kid that I knew (props to the lame kid though )
And I've been a fan and respect UGK since.
As he said " gimme 30 thousand and I'll serve you some heat, I'll write your rhymes, sing the hook, and I'll make you a beat" you sir weren't lying.
Agree with everything said in this thread but one thing that hasn't been brought up, Pimp C is one of the most underrated PRODUCERS in the history of the genre. One of the best to ever do it imo.
Yeah, Pimp's verse was like 8 bars, he was hoping Jay wouldn't want it, but Jay did.Didn't know NT had so much love for The Pimp. But I will say Bun said Pimp was supposed to be on A week ago on Volume 1, but Jay wasn't traveling because Big had just got killed. So Pimp told him I ain't coming to New York if you can't come down here. So idk if 50 turned him on to UGK. And Pimp didn't want to do Big Pimpin that's why his verse is so short. It's all in one of his Combat Jack episodes.
If you guys haven't read $Sweet Jones$ Pimp C's Trill Life Story, please, please do so, it is a really really good book, plus he would want you to. I'm not a conspiracy theorist, but after reading the book Pimp's death is looking funny in the light.
