Anyone know if this is true? Don't have the full details for TMZ.com but from a local news this is what I've found.

Reports: Houston rapper found dead

02:05 PM CST on Tuesday, December 4, 2007

By Adrienne M. Cody / KHOU.com

National news sources are reporting that Houston rapper Pimp C has died.

MySpace.com

Pimp C
According to TMZ.com, the 33-year-old rapper was found dead in a Hollywood hotel room.

Pimp C is a member of UGK, who accompanied Jay Z on his hit single "Big Pimpin" in 2000. His real name is Chad Butler.

Butler was sentenced to eight years in jail for failing to complete community service stemming from an aggravated assault charge. His imprisonment led to the "Free Pimp C" movement. Butler was released in December 2005.

If someone can verify this I'd greatly appreciate it.

Yup, heard it on the radio too. Died of natural causes. Discovered in hotel bed fully clothed. No sign of struggle, injury or drugs.

RIP

^^ that is very scary at his age. I guess he was slightly overweight, but still.

Proves to show just how fragile the gift of life is.

They're gonna have to prove "Died Of Natural Causes" to me with an autopsy because he was too young.

Died @ 33 of natural causes? I call BS. He was in LA at clubs and shit with Too Short. I say he was drugged or something. Alot of REAL beef has been going on with him and the East coast, this beef wasn't some public stunt.

We'll see...

R.I.P.

Indeed.

Takes 6-8 weeks for autopsy and toxicology test results. Guess we'll just have to wait and see...
