      Quick lil story
      Paul Made the beat, it was originally for Pat who used it for “choose You” which was In 2002, while pimp was locked up during those times .. He heard the song and asked Paul to hold that beat and wanted to rap over it & when he got out 05’.. He and Bun did “UnderGround Kingz” in 2007, and knowing Pimp, he of course he paid Paul(& juice) for the Beat, and it technically became his beat, so the outcome is what is was ..
      And why he got mad? Well Pimp was expressing how he hated where hip hop was going, been out for 1.5 years (before his death) and hated how soft and gay it was becoming, and Atlanta was a huge problem to it, but respected artist like Outkast, TI and Ludacris .. but also still and wouldn’t allow anyone to walk all over him(pimp) .. and the sad thing is, Pimp never got to see the Respect and love the song had received because, 3-4 months later he passes away & during those months.. Son was ducking and running from tryna be killed .. if you know, you know

    Rip to Chad Butler. 1:54 Players anthem. That's my favorite track. Smash of the grey one bought me a red. You ain't pimp a fairy. Pimp c was very mad.

    lol @ Pimp being mad at Dre for taking the beat out when that dude basically filmed his own Big Pimpin video and sent it to Jay rather than just flying to their location and being in the real video.
