Ex-Con Pimp C Says He Has Lessons To Teach
By Jayson Rodriguez
NEW YORK — Almost four years passed while UGK's Pimp C was locked away for a parole violation stemming from a previous aggravated-assault rap. And that time did indeed pass him by.
Pimp hinted this project would offer a more reflective tone for the Port Arthur, Texas, duo compared to their previous album. The rapper said his incarceration wasn't glamorous by any means, nor is it something he wants to glamorize or talk about much in particular. Since his release, he's been outspoken about his rap peers romanticizing prison.
"It's not a party, it's not fun," Pimp said. "Jail affected my whole family. My family got locked up. My group got locked up. I lost when I went to prison. That's something to be ashamed of, and that's not a badge of honor. My youngest son was 8 years old when I went in. I came back and he's a teenager. I can't get them years back."
