Pimp C is free
December 31, 2005
All those ''Free Pimp C" T-shirts and baseball caps can be put away. Rap star Pimp C (above) -- half of the acclaimed duo Underground Kingz, or UGK -- was released on parole yesterday after serving about half of an eight-year sentence. Since he was imprisoned in January 2002, ''Free Pimp C" has been a rallying call for rappers and UGK fans across the country. Numerous rap stars have appeared in music videos and at concerts and awards shows wearing gear with the phrase. Pimp C, whose real name is Chad Butler, was sentenced when he fell behind on community service required after pleading no contest to aggravated assault. He was charged after brandishing a gun during an argument with a woman at a mall. Pimp C, who turned 32 Thursday, has sold more than a million records since 1992 from five major-label releases with UGK
