Pimp C’s Long Live The Pimp project is scheduled to be released tomorrow (December 4). The will be the late rapper’s first album in more than four years.
Pimp C‘s widow, Chinara Butler, curated the music for the set.
Pimp C’s son, Chad Butler, Jr., released a statement about Long Live the Pimp to express his dissatisfaction with the rollout of his father’s music.
“I want Pimp C fans to know that his family – myself and my younger brother Corey Butler – had no part in the creation of this ‘new’ Pimp C album and don’t receive any of the benefits from album sales,” he says via press release. “The only person who benefits is his wife Chinara, who doesn’t return phone calls or communicate with us at all, and possibly our sister Christian, but even that is debatable. My father was always supportive of myself and my brother, and I know he wouldn’t want us to be forgotten as a part of his legacy.”
Pimp C died in 2007 from a combination of factors including a codeine overdose and complications from a pre-existing sleep condition.
How about yall go out and do your own thing? Get out of your father’s shadow, eh? Create your own life? Fucking losers.
Long Live The Pimp
And I repeat! —A job is not the issue, you still should rightfully receive what is yours – No matter what you have. I work a full time job but if someone owes me something, I want it. It’s not about living in someone’s shadows, it’s about receiving your inheritance. Wouldn’t you want something that belonged to you? If you parents died and left a legacy but you received nothing from it, wouldn’t you be upset? Don’t be shortsighted.
Actually take sometime to research why he is angry. Those kids are getting screwed over and taken advantage of. Every thing that Pimp C worked was robbed and looted by vultures after he passed. He was creative genius, but he neglected to put in place a will to ensure his children’s future.
These albums almost always disappoint because they add rappers that they wouldn’t work with if they were alive.
Its amazing how these internet trolls want to tell someone what to do as if their advice is the best. Pimp C built a life to enhance his childrens lives, grown or notnot. So for the troll below stfu!

You are obviously some dress wearing , Vaseline packing , young thug teen. All these new fags you listen to were inspired by Pimp. So go wear a skirt and claim to be straight. Sick 90s baby
You grind hard for ur kids.
What about getting a job? You lazy bums

Shut your basic ass up. Lets see how many people remember you once you do the world a favor and check out. New school faggot
If you read the Pimp C biography you will learn that his manager Rick Martin took most of the money that was owed to Pimp C’s children. Shame on those involved for taking food out of the mouths of these children. I doubt you as a parent would want your children to starve, especially if you worked hard to ensure that they are taken care of.
Its sad how Pimp C’s children were treated after he died. Both Chad Butler Jr. and Corey are very bright children and I am sure they will figure something out.
If you have children (regardless of your age), I recommend that you set in place some sort of Living Will that will make sure to support your children in case something were to happen to you.
Not surprised I just read a interview with his wife over at Billboard.com and she strikes me as a greedy bish. I’m not feeling the songs either so I won’t be supporting this or anything else that his children are not benefiting from.
Chad Jr. does own his own business and is doing VERY well. Corey is in the (music) business and is making a name for himself… he rapped on Sway’s show. BUT they still deserve a portion of ANY of their father’s sales on ANYTHING. It’s greedy bitches like her that give stepmoms a bad name.
