The first time I listen to anything from Pimp Chad’s The Naked Soul Of Sweet Jones will be when the entire album is made available. So I had to turn to outside opinions for feedback on the Boi-1da constructed “What Up” – the Pimp’s postumous collab with his partner in rhyme Bun B and self-proclaimed UGK alumni, Drake. Got all the back info squared away? Good. Here we go.
Noz (Cocaine Blunts) – “Who let this ol’ d!ck in the booty lipgloss wearing canuck on Pimp C’s album?”
Haze (DGB) – “For (most) long time UGK fans, this is a damn shame. There’s no way you can convince me that if the Pimp was still with us that he would have Aubrey on his lead single with production from Boi-1da. But as the homie Percy Mack points out, at least Bun didn’t waste an unheard verse from Pimp on this weak track. So I can go ahead & just delete this and pretend it never happened. Or if the acapella version gets released, I can put Pimp & Bun’s verse over some DJ Burn One instrumental and actually enjoy listening to it.”
Sidenote: I’m all for some UGK over Burn One production, by the way.
YN (Rap Radar) – “After reaching his 50K follower Bun B let this one go. Producer Boi-1da and Drizzy take a ride down to H-Town for the first single off the late great Pimp C’s final album. This goes down smooth. The Naked Soul of Sweet Jones is due Oct. 5. Trill niggas can’t wait.”
Keep It Trill – “For those wondering, this verse was previously on a prematurely leaked track of Pimp C featuring T-Pain. I’d personally have to say this sounds more like a Drake track and NOT a Pimp C track, but maybe I’m trippin’.”
Is the song really that bad or is it animosity towards Drake? Or is it a combination of the two? Eventually I’ll find out. Either way, I’m not at liberty to say what Pimp would have done had he been alive or if this will “ruin his legacy,” but I do know people are very particular when it comes to UGK and their sound. The more pressing question at the moment, or at least I would think so, is how we can get Freddie Gibbs on this project. If there’s any collaboration that needs to go down, that’s the one.

^^ CO-*fuckin’*SIGN…man Drake needs more “NIGGA BEEN HURT BY THE SYSTEM SOUL* in his voice…Freddie Gibbs can actually BLOW some SOULFUL notes…just listen to his hook on National Anthem…I mean DAMN if that ain’t UGK sound then I don’t what is…sorry, Aubrey.
*Sigh*
I have mixed feelings about this as well. Legends vs./w Aubrey (whom I often listen to).
Something feels “off” about it when I listen to it. And like I said, I listen to Drizzy so… that cannot be it.
P.S. Someone snatched my “It’s Supposed to Bubble” 12″ promo. Not happy about that. Not happy at all.
@The Real Anonymous
Drake is not a terrible rapper…but right now his presence is felt everywhere so him jumping on a UGK track he kind of over throws it…sounds like a TML throw away…
I like it, people are just hating on Drake per usual.
“Int’l Players Anthem” didn’t sound like anything Pimp had done before either, but everybody was feeling that one.
@ApolloKids
Why so defensive when it comes to Drake…he’s not a bad rapper but this song sounds like every other Drake song…and second OUTKAST & UGK are fucking LEGENDARY southern groups and people have been waiting them to collaborate for damn near a DECADE and a HALF…
Drake meshed really well on both tracks he did for Trill O.G.
#Jussayin
@Theo
Wasn’t aware two casual sentences not aimed at anyone in particular was being defensive…. lol
It does sound like a Drake song, but a good Drake song. Point being, I don’t mind hearing Pimp on something that’s outside of his zone.
That being said, the rest of his album will probably sound like what people expect a Pimp C album to sound like. Hopefully, this single will catch on and open up a new generation to Pimp’s legacy.
i didnt like the track much not really much of a drake fan so i didnt think i would. guess i just wanted some new pimp c
ot: are you guys gonna post anything on how this carmello trade thing just got really awkward.
for those interested,

Ok its not an entirely bad song, it just doesn’t sound like it was made for/by Pimp C. Trade Drake’s verse and Boi-1da’s production for a verse ad a beat from Big K.R.I.T. and i think it’ll be fine.
I refuse to hear…
but Bun if you read this…. WE NEED A UGK X FREDDIE GIBBS COLLABO URGENTLY.
No hate (hate that nowadays you have to have a “no hate” disclaimer before stating an opinion) but Drake, as cool and popular as he is, is a soft ass rapper. UGK are trill ass rappers. This would be like if M.O.P. collabed with Victoria Beckham of LFO…ummm wait..
^^Victoria Beckham OR LFO .. Damn touchescreen keyboard *shakes fist*
It’s not as bad as people are making it out to be. The Trill O.G. tracks with Drake worked extremely well in my opinion
lol…”polo fuck Hilfiger” thats unmistakable….shits recycled…
damn this song is the shit
Real talk, we all know that Pimp C did not like the same people that Bun liked. Bun is a diplomat, Pimp C was too real to call it even or agree to disagree with anyone. If Pimp didn’t fuck with you, then he didn’t fuck with you and I have to say that I don’t think Pimp would have approved this shit at all. I like Drake too but he is way too mainstream/cupcake/as Pimp C would say “dick in the booty” to get on a song with Pimp. I’m appalled at the old heads of rap lately to, for riding so much dick just to please a younger audience these days. You don’t see Rock n Roll artist doing that shit. Jay-Z, Bun B etc… The only niggaz keeping it G is Andre 3000 and Nas at this point, instead of hating or speaking on it their watching from the sidelines and will most likely make a decision later after we know whether these dudes will last or not. I mean WTF. Before I go on too much of a tangent let me say this. Bun you know you tripping with this shit but I’m going to let it slide because I know you want this shit to sell so it can feed niggaz and that’s cool and all but UGK fans ride every time so this was unnecessary.
Definitely sounds more Drake featuring UGK than vice versa.
It’s cool.
Pimp woulda never ever worked with drake
Bun ate on this
“Tough Guy” was a much better UGK/Kast collab and was Stankonia era. I think it wound up on the soundtrack to the modern Shaft. This song isn’t really terrible but it does sound like what it is–a Drake song with a recycled Pimp C verse and a phoned-in modern Bun feature. Had Pimp been alive to work on this he could have at least put his own spin on it like that Akon joint from 4 Life, which a lot of people hated but I thought was decent. It doesn’t bode terribly well for the same love and care being put into crafting Naked Soul according to Pimp C’s musical vision as went into that last UGK disc
I wont be listening to this, and im hoping it WONT be on the album. Im not a drake fan at all. and the idea of drake on a UGK track makes me want to call Bun B a BEEEEEEYAATCH!
RIP to THE PIMP
BTW Gotty , GL on dropping that Jordan 30 for 30. It was a real inspiring doc.
ol’ dick in the booty muhfugga. (c.) the pimp
smokingsection always dick riding Freddie Gibbs when in actuality dude is just average, yeah I said it!!!!
*grabs pitchfork* ^^
@ gooroo
SMH
INCORRECT! If you listened to the Straight Killa EP and can say that with a straight face, you must not be a fan of UGK, obviously Gibbs, or their brand of rap.
this is a single? that’s a hook?
i actually prefer the original leaked song that pimp’s verse is from. “let’s talk money” that was some catchy shit. this? just not diggin.
and it’s not drake hate. i thought tml deserved its 4.5
also, to whoever’s out there..
GET FREDDIE GIBBS ON THAT ALBUM ASAP
F. Gibbs would eat this shit up like tater tots & steak
@tres
i would collaberate the shit out victoria beckham
Why does Bun-B dick ride Drake so hard?
1. Meh smh Drake should be limited from buzzing on quality tracks of real rappers. Not sure Pimp C ever went to Degrassi.
2. Freddie Gibbs would improve this track vs. Drake bringing it down.
Aaaah…the hate
Man Pimp C sampled Tom Petty’s “Free Falling” so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did a track with Drake. This track should have been on Trill OG and left lets talk money alone. I second Gibbs and motion some Krit and Curren$y.
As for Melo, the Nets have the most to offer. A package of Favors, Terrence Williams, Anthony Morrow and two firsts.
Thiz track iz alright… But it doez sound more like a Drake song though…
only reason drake gets on a song with pimp c is to capture the original ugk audience and as a favor to bun..u really think this fuckin canadien grew up on p.a. and or screw..but shit. i like the fuckin song a lil.. not the wattuuup part. just the verses
Drake is ass,d he’s not trash tho, for.he has put out lots of material, he has influential artist throughout the industry that woll cosign for him, and he already has the younger hip-hop generation full attention….but he ass’d in my book cause he still raps like he belongs on nickeloden….I call it remedial raps….as far bun he always wanted to be main stream deep down inside so he just trying to give fans a simple of what it may of been like if they were…..now if we hear the remedial rapper on a screwed up track than we have not done our jobs as fans
simple=sample*
Man Pimp C sampled Tom Petty’s “Free Falling” so I wouldn’t be surprised if he did a track with Drake.

sampling and getting on tracks with dudes are two real different things. you can sample the most dick in the booty ass song and flip into something hard. drake, however, will never be hard.
not that there’s anything wrong with that, but it can sound awkward when he’s on songs with someone who is.
Drake aint a bad rapper but I am so fuckin sick of this dude! Overexposure in the industry has literally made me dislike dude. I used to like his music but now im tired of it.
the feature is fine I just feel it needs a better beat and a switched order
goddamn y’all is some annoying “keep it real” faggots
“waaa waaa drake shouldn’t be on this track”
“IF pimp was alive blah blah…”
how in the fuck do y’all know what pimp would’ve liked? do y’all really think he would’ve let your internet hero Gibbs appear on his solo album?
FOH
Drake just ruined this track. Still keeping my hopes high for the album though
my question on here is how many people know pimp c hmmm thats a good 1 lol but that verse they had on that track is old pimp verse i guess they trying to save face for the project
This shit Ride … Drake is definitely different
