Review
"An extraordinary and complete work ... [Pimp C was] the most important and influential musician in Southern rap history." - Music journalist Matt Sonzala "A work of intense reporting and deep love by Julia Beverly, the founder and often one-woman engine behind Ozone magazine ... it's a virtual ticktock of Pimp C's life, covering his school choir days; his early years as a producer; UGK's success; his drug use; his many squabbles; his criminal history; his family life; the comeback that never quite came; and the legal troubles that dogged his estate after his death, from a combination of prescription cough syrup intoxication and sleep apnea. It also ends up being a document of the last innocent days of Houston rap, before eyes and hands were fixed on it." - The New York Times "Fascinating, well-researched biography of a brilliant, troubled, flawed, talented, compassionate individual who changed the world despite all that stood in his path ... [SWEET JONES] shattered every single assumption I would make about rappers - the book humanizes him and his family and friends, and exposes his genius and his flaws ... an incredible story - hilarious, difficult, tragic, and frustrating throughout." - Professor Andrew Cencini "One of the most entertaining and informative rap books that I've ever read ... I gained a whole new level of respect and understanding of [UGK] through the book. [It] took me into that world, into Short Texas, into Bun B's mind, into Pimp C's life ... It's almost like an action movie ... an astounding piece of work ... I only hope it gets all of the praise and exposure it deserves and inspires a spate of deeply researched books in the genre." - Music journalist Kris Ex

From the Back Cover
"[Pimp C] was brilliant, but he was mad; he was a little nutty. He was a madman, and he really didn't give a shit. That's what was so endearing and refreshing about him, and what made him such a special person ... [He] had a rough exterior but underneath it all he had a big heart and was really just a good person who was - as many artists are - just frustrated, [trying] to get his voice heard."Â - Barry Weiss, former CEO of Jive Records"I wouldn't be here without [UGK] ... All it takes is one person to do something and make everybody else feel that they can do it too. And they was one of the first to do it."Â - Lil Wayne"[UGK] gave birth to Southern rap. UGK made it cool to be country."Â - Scarface"Pimp C helped lay the foundation that we stand on where Southern Hip-Hop music is concerned."Â - J. Prince, CEO of Rap-A-Lot Records, Raw Report DVD"I grew up on 'em. If it wasn't for UGK, Ludacris probably wouldn't even be here."Â - Ludacris, The Final Chapter DVD"[Pimp C] was a revolutionary. He was an undercover agent of God. [To] change people's lives, you gotta be able to get into spots where people need the most help."Â - Kool Ace"Pimp was larger than life. I honestly thought he would live forever."Â - Nancy Byron, Pimp C's publicist, The Source Magazine"The [posthumous] music doesn't really matter to me. I'd give it all back if I could have my friend back."Â - Bun B, Houston Chronicle"As we keep a lighter up for the Pimp, it's only right that we remember him not just for his often-under-rated musical contribution but also for his indomitable, smack-talking spirit."Â - The FADER

When I initially ordered this book I was expecting a couple of interesting insights, behind the scene stories of the legendary Pimp C, and some decent writing. Instead what I began reading was 750+ pages of truly gripping and impressive writing and research. This essentially is a giant Textbook that not only covers the events in the life of the iconic Chad Butler, but also the context behind many defining moments in Pimps life (label woes, personal/family issues, financial issue,Prolific “beefsâ€) and goes above and beyond in every imaginable way to offer readers an unbiased, honest, and often touching biography behind a very complex and layered individual. Julia Beverly does an IMACULATE job! Without giving too much away, expect to be surprised, touched, and educated in the history of Pimp C and his associates. My personal favorite part discusses his time and personal growth behind bars. The fact this book also has photographs of rap lyrics, family members, associates, prison letters and even tax forms from C’s life, shows that Beverly is not only capable of masterfully retelling a legends life story but also illustrates her capabilities as a researcher/reporter. Never in my life have I finished a piece of literature so massive and been left desperately wanting more. My only request is that Beverly continues her writing career as clearly she is an incredibly gifted and competent author. MUST BUY!!!!!
being from the south gives us opportunities to hear rumors that are pretty accurate, and this book proves them right... from the "master p beef to lil troy to probs with Ludacris/smoke d" Julia puts its all in this book...this book should be $50.00-100.00... I am truly proud of her, and this book explains the insanity that one must face to have a personal life, and an alter ego called an "image" chad was a nerdy, smart, cool guy that used "pimp c" to mask his fears, childhood problems....Julia explains his reasons for being who he became, and has incredible pictures to provide the imagery needed...honestly I read the book in a day and a half...it was like reading while watching the scenes play out in your mind.... pimp c will never get the artistic credit he deserved.... from his signature hi hats, to live instrumentation, singing his own vocals, playing multiple instruments, using his voice to his advantage.... the only person that I never met, that I cried when he passed on.... dude was trill and lived a hell of a life that only rick james/marvin gaye/George Clinton could only understand.... if you love pimp c/ugk or have a passion to read period, get this book asap..... long live the pimp
This book was AMAZING, far exceeded my expectations, VERY detailed, accurate, and an in depth look into Pimp C. Not just a look into his music but who Chad Butler REALLY was. The man that he became through his life experiences in and outside of the rap game. A handful of info in this book is rare and interesting. Much in fact, you cannot put it down. I have a Huge amount of Respect for Pimp C.After reading his Trill Life Story, it made me not only respect him more but Love his body of work that much more. No one will ever be able to re-create or duplicate this man. The fact that his sound, his artistry is so unique if anyone attempted to mimic his work, the whole world could see Only the Pimp. Music has not been the same since his departure but his legacy forever will live on.Buy this book today and you won't regret it!#UGK4LIFE
I breezed through all 700+ pages of this book in about a week which is a real credit to Julia Beverly but what appreciated most about this book was the honesty by which everyone was painted in this book. There were points in the book where I was like "Wow Chad could be an a-hole!" and things weren't always great between UGK but also parts where I could feel the genuine love and appreciation between Chad and his peers and his fans. There were funny moments (Stephen Jackson randomly popping up in the book to fight shirtless at the reunion concert) and sad ones (Bo-Bo lost his baby in a house fire) and touching ones (everything Mama Wes), but it really made me appreciate the drive and creative genius of one Chad "Pimp C" Butler. Rest In Peace Pimp C and thank you Julia Beverly for a wonderful book.
I am a huge UGK fan and I Loved me some Pimp C and when I saw that there was a book written about his life, I was only planning to get the book just because I am huge fan but once I started reading, I was pleased at how well it's written and how detailed it is with capturing the complex ups and downs of the determination of UGK to become the Rap phenomena's that they are today. I am sure "Chad Pimp C" Butler would be very proud of how the book depicted his life story. He was a true example of taking the talent that God blesses us with and using it. His lived the life of a determined man and unfortunately he left this world, just when he was starting to rip the fruits of his labor. I've found myself laughing, getting angry and even crying while reading this book. This is a must read book if you are a true UGK fan or a fan of Southern Rap ( Country Rap Tunes) . "UGK 4 Life!!!"
Other than a knee sock full of shwag and a pint of purp, this book is the most exhaustive resource I have ever encountered with respect to furthering one's understanding of Third Coast hip-hop. It's 750+ pages of 10 pt. font. When's the last time you read a book in 10 pt. font? Yeah, I thought so. This massive tome covers a huge variety of topics concerning Pimp C, Bun B, a ton of other artists, the music industry in general, and most importantly trashes Master P for like 30 pages.Long live Sweet Jones. UGK 4 Ever. UGK 4 Life.
I will start out by saying I'm a huge UGK/Pimp C fan. But I've learned so many things I'd never known before. This book was very well written and extremely detailed. Possibly the most well written book I've ever read. I'm very critical when reading. I hate typos & there were none in this book. I would recommend this book to anybody, but more so to a true UGK fan or a fan of southern hip hop. Currently my 13 year old son is reading it & so is my mom lol. And they both love it!
