Chad Lemon Butler was born in Port Arthur, Texas, USA. There he met his friend, who would later become Bun B and together they formed the Houston-based rap group UGK. They rapped 'underground', until the duo signed with Jive Records in 1987. Pimp worked hard on the first UGK project, The Southern Way, which was available in 1988 and on cassette only.
It wasn't until 1992 that UGK really broke through into the hip hop/rap world. Jive Records signed them and they released Too Hard to Swallow. Pimp worked hard with Bun B for a while, until going on a hiatus in 1996, where the group would not work. In this time Pimp was aware that UGK's fans were slowly slipping.
Pimp C contributed to several tracks, until UGK came back on top by guest starring in tracks, such as Big Pimpin' and Sippin' on Some Syrup. Pimp C and Bun B came back with Dirty Money in 2001, but the album failed both critically and financially.
As Dirty Money was going through problems, Pimp was faced with even more problems. Pimp C was incarcerated for an aggravated gun assault charge in 2002. People cheered the catch phrase "Free Pimp C". During this time Bun B lived on the UGK name. Jive Records was forced to release a greatest hits for UGK and Bun B was forced to go solo, as Pimp C was locked up.[1]
Rap-A-Lot Records signed Pimp C, while in prison he released his solo debut Sweet James Jones Stories. Bun B also released his debut, which Pimp C slightly contributed to. Finally, on December 30, 2005, Pimp C was released from prison and was on parole until December 2009.[2]
Pimp C guest starred in many people's songs and contributed to artists, such as Slim Thug and T.I.. After that he started working again with Bun B on tracks for their upcoming UGK project UGK (Underground Kingz), which would end up being their most successful project of all time, in either artist's careers.
Pimp C released two solo albums.
4 months after the release of UGK (Underground Kingz), Pimp C died. On December 4, 2007, Pimp C was found dead at the Mondrian Hotel in West Hollywood, California, after Los Angeles County Fire Department responded to a 911 call. The department arrived at his sixth floor hotel room to find Pimp C dead in bed. This was three days after Pimp C performed with Too $hort at the House of Blues in Los Angeles.[3][4]
The Los Angeles County Coroner's office state Pimp C died from an accidental overdose of Promethazine/Codeine "syrup" mixed with a pre-existing medical condition, sleep apnea, which causes a person to stop breathing during sleep.[5][6]
After his death, he made posthumous appearances on Bun B's song "Underground Thang" (also featuring Chamillionaire) from II Trill and much later, an as-of-yet untitled track which is to be featured on Chamillionaire's third album Venom. The latter track is produced by Pimp C, making this his last production credit.
The final UGK project, 4 Life will be dedicated to Pimp C and his legendary Houston-based rapping style. Many people have shown respect to Pimp C, including David Banner, 8Ball & MJG, Rick Ross, Bun B, Slim Thug, T.I. and Lil Flip.

Bounce ya ass like that, like that
Bounce that ass like that, like that

Like BeyoncΓ©, like Trina (bounce that ass like that)
Like a big booty ass black diva (bounce that like ass that)
Like a stripper, up and down like Flipper (bounce that ass like that)
Double shots of Hennessy, let it get you groovy
Gone work yo' ass, do ya thang, I'ma do me
I done switched to doja and the swisher, got a room key
Act like you auditioning for a video or movie
Bend towards the floor I want your hands where your toes be
I'ma squeeze all on you booty, all nasty
Done made 18, girl I'm legal, you can harass me
Cash and a Beamer, I can't seem to find a bad beat
A big fat ass like Trina make me happy
Titties shake, thighs shake, vibrate while she dancing
Like to shake her ass like Ciara real fancy
Wonder can Ciara shake that ass on this nine piece
Betcha Jada Pinkett shake that ass real classy
Ain't ready for the real, betcha she be lettin Will have it
You see me I'm picky, I rate that ass
I gotta ask 50 how Vivica shake that ass
Like that, like that
Bounce ya ass like that, like that
Bounce that ass like that, like that
Bend over, let me see it from the back
I sent my bitch to Las Vegas, go and hit that lick (hit that lick)
I'm still tryna put some dick up in Vanity 6
Apollonia too (too), you know I'll bust you up (bust you up)
I want some three-way love, head, pussy, and butt
Ain't no shame in my game, I need a porno star
Lemme hit ya in ya ass and play it back in my car (back in my car)
I'm talkin Gin and Pepper, I know that she feelin me
Take dick like a champ like a bitch named Kennedy
All it takes for me, bone, neck, and lay in they house
I know you real pimp niggaz, they know what I'm talkin about
Tell that girl Keyshia Cole she need to give me some pussy
She "shoulda cheated" with Sweet Jones 'cause that nigga's a rookie
'Fore I sweep through ya pussy like ya need a ?
Bitch thought Sweet Jones just might hit her
I told her like this, she can swallow this skeeter
Now hoe move around 'cause I really didn't need her
Like BeyoncΓ©, like Trina (bounce that ass like that)

I want a face like BeyoncΓ©, a smile like Ashanti
Boosie and Paris Hilton, a caramel sundae
Bust it back, wide open, lemme see yo' inside
And lick yo' tongue at me (ooohhh!), that make my temperature rise
Lookin for Teairra Mari, I can "make you feel good"
Ciara can get it too, Olivia I'm feelin you
I need lips like Fantasia, put me to sleep
Talk nasty like Trina (ooohhh!), I need me a freek
I like to lay back, fuck bitches with two or three Georgia Peaches
They argue before they eat it, like Puffy they need Jesus
Like to smoke a purple blunt while you play with that cock
And while I knock off yo' top, I want Lil' Webbie to watch
Yo gon' let Webbie see my candy, yeah? Girl that's how we play that there
Eve? I better not see yo' tail nowhere
'Cause I'ma talk that koochie out the drawers (say what!?)
You want me to be Santa Clause, you gon' have to break it off like...

Pimp C's song Like That is just as bold and brazen as the songwriter himself. Through explicit and energetic language, Pimp C encourages women to flaunt their sexuality in the form of bouncing their asses from the front and back. The lyrics portray Pimp C's desire for erotic pleasure, enticing women to act like stars in various industries, from Beyonce to Trina to stripper. His lyrics are loaded with raw energy, and his rhythm is entrancing, combining with the instruments that imply a sense of African American heritage.
The song's lyrics seem to promote the idea of women being objectified, prompting some listeners and music pundits to criticize it as misogynistic. In contrast, other listeners see the song as empowering women to own their sexuality and express themselves freely. Regardless of interpretation, Pimp C's use of specific celebrities also reminds us of his status in the music industry and his close involvement with these stars. Therefore, Like That can also be seen as an ode to his success, a statement of his independence and fame.
