The funeral for rap legend Chad “Pimp C” Butler, whose untimely death
stunned the rap world last week, will be held Thursday, December 13, in
his hometown of Port Arthur, Texas.
The lovable 33-year-old emcee and producer, known for making
controversial statements in the press and supporting unknown Southern
acts, will be laid to rest at Robert A. Bowers Civic Center in a public
ceremony.
Butler was found dead at the Mondrian hotel in West Hollywood December
4. As of now, officials believe the rapper died of “natural causes," but
autopsy and toxicology reports will not be available for up to eight weeks.

What "natural causes"? The man was only 33 years old, there is nothing 'natural' to die from at such a young age. But, my prayers goes out to his family and friends. R.I.P. PIMP C!!!
