Houston,
TX -
"I’m Free" track 2 to
Pimp C's Rap-A-Lot/Asylum
album 'The Pimpalation" ,
with the best sample use of the Tom Petty classic "Free Falling"
possible, and on Track 3 as
Pimp-C let's us all know exactly how he feels about being
back and the current state of Hip-Hop with
“Knockin Doorz Down”
feat. POP & Lil KeKe .
Pimp C certainly has come back, with a vengeance with this album.
With initial retail request in high demand this album shipped Gold.
The “Pimpalation”
debuts on Billboard at
#1 in the Urban / Hip-Hop
category and #3 on the Billboard Top 200 charts
respectively, with its first week's sales. Fan's of
Pimp C have waited four
long years for some more heat from this Houston legend and `he has
given them sixteen tracks full of the classic Port Arthur style that
has earned him the monikers of 'pioneer' and Underground Kings.
Each track on this compilation
features some of the best that the South has to offer with names
like Lil Keke,
Jazze Pha,
Scarface,
Chamillionaire,
8-Ball &
MJG,
Trae,
Jagged Edge,
Z-Ro,
Ali & Gipp and of course
Bun B all making
appearances at the mic with their boy. The production is definitely
mostly classic Texas, with turns at the boards being taken by
Mike Dean, Cory Mo, Clay D, Mr. Lee
and of course Pimp C
himself with some Jazze Pha
and Mannie Fresh
thrown in for good measure.
The album is Executive Produced by
none other than the CEO of
Rap-A-Lot, J Prince himself; along with
Pimp C, as if anyone else
could have done the job. Its debut follows on the heels of similar
debuts by legendary artist like
Bun B, Trae
and Scarface and is
bound to reach the classic status of other
Rap-A-Lot notes like
Geto Boys, Devin the Dude, Z-Ro
and UTP. If you don't
pick one up, you are bound to hear it anyway - banging from a stereo
near you.
