Pimp C’s voice was much-needed in the game, which made his death in 2007 all the more tragic. “The whole city cried that day,” says DJ DMD, producer and childhood friend of the rapper. “When you lose someone like Pimp C, you lose a cultural bulletproof vest,” adds Bun B. “You lose somebody that was actually willing to stand up and take the bullet for the culture, that was willing to be honest and say the things that maybe people were afraid to say or that people didn’t want to hear.”
