Pimp C

A-Bay-Bay.

Yeah, Pimp C in mine.

What was this? Pauly P, Pimp C, El Pollo Loco, and Rusty Screwdriver.

You still got me as Rusty Screwdriver?

It might

I just think the best two I ever heard, including Run-DMC, everybody, in, like, what's the Mob-

Have you ever heard of Bun B and Pimp C?

Of course.

But what's the Mobb Deep song on, on the, on their second album, the one with Shook Ones Part II? I forget all the names of the albums.

...

Pimp C made hardcore gangsta rap music.

Your hook was always gonna be strong.

The hook was always gonna be strong, buddy.

We'll be right back.

Conflict and flicks that we carryin' It's time to get rid of the beef like vegetarians I'm bout stackin' bank every day So I pay attention to the bits And I ain't talkin' bout a Chevrolet Kiki the Don, Pimp C the King Lil' J the owner of the squad H-Time, we the team

It ain't no iron that

you tryin' that you be fatigued But if we man up and press, we can lead the league We some all-stars.

Bun B said, they was recording in the same studio as D'Angelo.

And Pimp C asked D'Angelo how he made Brown Sugar.

And Brown Sugar, and D'Angelo told him, I made it using this.

And he pointed to the same drum machine that Pimp C used.

And D'Angelo told him, he said, I just used this.

And Pimp C was like, Bambi said, Pimp C was like, oh, okay, I got to go read that manual.

Ha ha ha.

So you're telling me this sounds This doesn't sound instrumental This joint This is fucking amazing Jesus Christ This is like Yeah but the drums No But the drums are gonna come in Okay So you're faulting it all off of one instrument You're ignoring all the synths All the chords All the bass No no no

Um, but for me, bro, for hip-hop, it meant so much to me.

And then when I got in a position where it was my turn and hip-hop didn't love me the way that it, it, it, I loved it, then Pimp C said, you know, "It's country rap tunes." And I never forget, I heard No Play in GA on Atlanta Radio.

It changed the whole course of my life.

I said, "We can do that shit?"

Right.

I was like, "Yo, this was pimp." [laughs]

It was p- it was, number one, I wanted to give Bun B, and Pimp C, and UGK effort.

The fact that, don't get it fucked up, Pimp C was my friend in real life, dog.
