Paul Wall has reminisced about the late Pimp C ribbing him for rapping about falling in love with a stripper on the remix of T-Pain‘s “I’m N Luv (Wit a Stripper).”
Sitting down for an interview on Boss Talk 101, Paul recalled being on set with the late UGK legend for the video shoot for the song, which also featured Twista, R. Kelly, MJG and Too $hort.

“I’ll never forget the video shoot. We’re in Miami. It’s, you know, 120 degrees in the summer. And here comes Pimp C with this fur coat,” he said.
“I got on whatever I’m wearing in the video and I’m sweating like a ho in church. But Pimp C, he don’t got one bead of sweat nowhere on his body. And he got a full fur coat. He might have a hoodie underneath too. He might have two fur coats on.”

The “Sittin’ Sidewayz” rapper then said that Pimp C started mocking him for his lyrics on the track: “Pimp C come over there, he said, ‘Y’all all on that square shit, man. Y’all over there talking about falling in love with strippers. Man, I ain’t on that. I’m on that pimp shit.’
“You know, we were falling in love with a stripper and he was like, ‘Nah, y’all falling in love with my strippers.’”
Ever the storyteller, Paul Wall recently revealed that it took him years to realize that he was actually white.
Speaking on The Breakfast Club, he said: “I didn’t know I was white ’til white people told me I was white. They was like, ‘You white. Why you talk and act like that? You white.’ And I’m like, ‘What do you mean?’”
The 43-year-old admitted that it wasn’t until he reached “elementary school or middle school” when he had the realization about his ethnicity.
“I mean, all my friends were Black, Mexican or Asian,”he said. I lived in a very diverse neighborhood, there were white people there, but it was Mexican, Black, Vietnamese, Indian… A lot of everything. So, we got a great mixture of growing up in America, I guess.”
