Tributes have been flooding in across the music world from those paying their respects to the late Pimp C.
The rapper, who was one half of UGK, was unexpectedly found dead in his Sunset Boulevard hotel room on Tuesday (December 4). It may take up to six weeks to understand the circumstances of his death, but at the moment it is assumed that he died of natural causes.
Bun B, his partner in UGK, said: "His genius was unparalleled. His passion was undeniable and his love was unmatched. To say that I lost a friend or brother would never do justice to the relationship we shared. I will never be the same again."
In an interview with MTV, Outkast’s Big Boi also showered him in tributes, saying: "He was cool as hell. He was real laid-back, down-to-earth. We would talk from time to time. We hung out at a couple of clubs a couple of times. He was the real thing. He wasn't putting on a front or acting out a character: That was really him. Real good dude. So much fun and charisma.
Meanwhile, producer Swizz Beatz, who worked on UGK’s seventh and most recent album ‘Underground Kingz’, continued the fond words.
Beatz said: "He was one of the funniest guys I ever met. His character had me on the floor the whole time. I thought I was the only person in this industry who had some humor, not trying to act like a killer all the time. ... It's sad he went out. It's sad for hip-hop."
