Pimp C isn’t a conscious rapper and he isn’t a conscious black leader like noted black activist, Jesse Jackson, either. Pimp C is a hard core drug dealer, so although he is seeing cocaine ruining lives, he will continue to sell it because that is what he grew up doing.

The “Cocaine lady” is a metaphor for selling and doing cocaine, he doesn’t do cocaine anymore because although it makes you feel good, it is impure and will fuck you up over time. Just like how fucking a “sheisty” ho might feel good at first, but over time she might give you an STD and mess you up.

You may think that someone is near UGK is the rap or drug game, but that is 100% wrong. UGK is an island, meaning no one is near them in terms of greatness. And in the water surrounding them, there are haters (or sharks), wishing they could come onto the island (or get on UGK’s level), but that will never happen.

Throughout the 17 years that UGK have been together since their debut EP, The Southern Way dropped in 1998, they have never cared about fame. All they cared about was having fun and despite the ups and the downs, they achieved that goal.

Even if you don’t like Pimp C, you need to realize that you have to respect him. Not only because of all he achieved in the rap game, but because he is a true Pimp, so, if you don’t give him the respect he deserves, he will fuck you up.

If you fuck with a hard dude line Bun B it is guaranteed that you will be dead within the days end. He has no qualms about killing you, no matter where you are, hence why you may die where you thought you weren’t.
