RIP! damn man

[Fieva]

Man,

I just found out myself. So sad...R.I.P. C. You just got out of jail not too long ago.

Man, I grew up on UGK back when I wasn't allowed to listen to rap but snuck it in the house anyway. I listened to stuff like Geto Boys too (living in Texas at the time who didn't?), but I liked UGK much better. I dunno about ya'll but I know I still have my "Free Pimp C" shirt somewhere in the house. The minute I find it, I'll hang it up on my studio wall in his memory.

Looks like heaven needed a little bit of trill up there. All I can honestly be thankful for is that there was no shooting or foul play involved (at least not as of yet).

Man the group is gone....so quick. You can't replace C.

Fiev.

P.S. GJ if you wanna do a tribute song, I'm down. I had originally thought of sampling back down memory lane as a different song on a later album, but I can do it here instead. Just need time to write a verse and probably make a beat.

[gullyjewelz]

yea Fieve - im wit it!!! just let me know when u got the beat ready . . . we need a good tribute song anyway - ! aint NOBODY really did one in a long time . . . where is hip hop's heart at anyway!?

[Fieva]

The heart got covered up with the sugar coated mainstream ish...


Soul B, you had talked about doing a beat too so you make one and I'll make one and we'll go with whichever one hits harder if you're still down.

[BALKI]

Real sad. We (Mc Eyte & Pimp) used to blow mad kill. Shit hurts

I think you meant Spice1 & Mc Eiht use to blow big kill together. The Murda Show was a sick ass joint. Never heard of Eiht and pimp c ever doing any kind of work together lol. Spice1 & 2pac always seemed like a sick tandem whenever they got together just go listen to jealous gots me strapped. Now on to pimp c and bun b some pple might dis-agree but i loved that super tight album better than anything they dropped. Just go listen to that stone cold junkie joint and you'll know what i mean. For the pple who miss pimp c you cats should check out a dude by. the name of pimpsta also r.i.p. to him. Dude had a few albums that sounded like that old super tight album and what not. Just go listen to dickes & house shoes and some other shit of his.

[Call Me Cell]

I'd like to contribute to this project in any way I can. I'll put together a track sampled from "Back Down Memory Lane", and my fam. on here that spit, (you know who ya'll are) can bless the track in honor of "PIMP". if that's cool with ya'll i'll get started tomorrow (WED). i've been needing some new inspiration, and in spite of the sad news, i feel we can make the heart of hip-hop beat a little stronger with this one.... that's all folks

[Fieva]

Do it Celly!!!

Make the beat and I'll fine tune my verse to it. That's if the power doesn't go out here in Smoklahoma. My place is one of the few places that didn't blackout.

[Call Me Cell]

yez zir !! i'll start on it first thing in the morning. i hear ya bout those black-outs.. we get hit hard every year in the mid-west.. it's been raining alot here and we've had a couple small ice storms but nothing major yet.. keeping my fingers crossed though

[Mindset]

we doing one, but not necessary for pimp, but more as a message "2 much syrup in my cup".... wakeup call for the south.

[gullyjewelz]

yea mind - thats what i had in mind - a tribute (of sorts) just to make people think about what really goes down . . . n how we end up losin folk over what people thinkn is "no big deal" . .

im anxious as hell to jump on that memory lane beat . . .

[Call Me Cell]

if anybody has the memory lane track please send it to me. I'm having some difficulties getting the track. thanks

[jibran]

Why don't y'all just use the beat from the Nas song?

[Fieva]

It's all about being original. Usually I don't respect cats who use other folks' beats and then try to pass it off as their own shit.

Now if you doin it just to do it and show off your lyricism....cool.

In all honesty...I have the memory lane track...and by no means is this a diss to old school (can't do that), but I don't think the track gives the potential new song any flavor. I go along with mindset's idea of sampling pimp c's verses and making a song about what's going wrong so that we don't have any more things like this happen without folks being aware of it.

i agree completely Fiev. i un-officially scrapped the "memory lane" project. honestly sampling the track kinda got me in a depressed state of mind... and there's nothing good that can come outta that. i'll wait to see what Mindset has in mind for the project he mentioned..

Fie.

Yeah true true...I kinda fall into that category, the one who uses industry beats with my own lyrics. But I'm a rookie so it's all cool

[gullyjewelz]

Well Can I Hear The Version Of The Memory Lane Track That Has Been Done? I Can Still Get Some Push Outta That Idea/strategy - Cuz I Know Ppl That's Just The Opposite, They Want To Hear Old School Tracks Redone With Today's Hip Hop Appeal . . . I Could Probably Get Tehm To Pay For A .99 Cent "single" That Way . . . Lol

I may still do a track with that song sampled, but it's not as a R.I.P. song, it's more about thinking back to the good times and re-living those times all over again.
