The Perfectly Planned Murder Of Pimp C [Hip Hop Legends]: Sex, Betrayal & the Southern Rap Conspiracy

by Rumor Has It Hip Hop Books

Was Pimp C silenced… or sacrificed?

On December 4, 2007, Chad “Pimp C” Butler—one-half of the legendary Southern rap duo UGK—was found dead in a Los Angeles hotel room. The official story called it an overdose.

But in the streets of Houston, the whispers told a darker tale: betrayal, conspiracy, and maybe even a perfectly planned murder.

In this explosive hip hop true crime biography, The Perfectly Planned Murder of Pimp C: Sex, Betrayal & the Southern Rap Conspiracy, Rumor Has It Hip Hop Books takes you deep into the rise and fall of one of the most outspoken voices in rap history.

From his humble beginnings in Port Arthur to platinum hits with Bun B, from his mentorship of Boosie Badazz to his infamous beef with Master P, from the prison years to the million-dollar limo ride with J. Prince, Pimp C lived his life like he rapped—raw, unfiltered, and fearless.

But behind the music was a storm:

• Industry conspiracies and dangerous secrets—including rumors of a Beyoncé tape that tied him to Jay-Z.
• Explosive beefs with Young Jeezy, Slim Thug, T.I., Lil Flip, and Lil Troy.
• A marriage tangled in money disputes, betrayal, and a manager named Buddy who would later marry his widow.

And the chilling final 72 hours—a Bentley crash, silent phone calls, and a hotel room death that still doesn’t add up.

This is not the glossy story told in magazines. This is the raw version—the barbershop talk, the studio whispers at 3 AM—the rumors too heavy to bury.

It’s a story of loyalty, betrayal, sex, money, and power in the world of Southern rap legends.

If you love unsolved rap mysteries, music industry conspiracies, and hip hop history, this book is your backstage pass into the life, death, and legacy of Pimp C—the Mouthpiece of the South.

Pimp C’s voice may be gone, but the question still burns:
