A pioneer in the South's quest for respect in the Hip Hop world and one of the most colorful characters to emerge from the music scene which ultimately topped rap charts at the turn of the century, Chad "Pimp C" Butler's controversial life - and suspicious death in 2007 - left behind many unanswered questions, a family divided, and scores of talented new artists inspired by his group UGK's music. Sweet Jones pays tribute to the extremely talented - yet bipolar and complex - musician who embodied the Southern dream. Written by the founder and Editor-in-Chief of esteemed Southern rap publication OZONE Magazine and compiled from interviews with Pimp C himself, his mother and manager Weslyn "Mama Wes" Monroe, UGK rap partner Bun B, and hundreds of friends, family members, and collaborators like Snoop Dogg, Scarface, Too $hort, 8Ball & MJG, Jazze Pha, David Banner, Mannie Fresh, Paul Wall, Slim Thug, Trae, and Willie D of the Geto Boys, Sweet Jones is a must-read for any Southern rap fan.

"This book was AMAZING, far exceeded my expectations, VERY detailed, accurate, and an in depth look into Pimp C. Not just a look into his music but who Chad Butler REALLY was.

I have a Huge amount of Respect for Pimp C.
After reading his Trill Life Story, it made me not only respect him more but Love his body of work that much more. No one will ever be able to re-create or duplicate this man. The fact that his sound, his artistry is so unique if anyone attempted to mimic his work, the whole world could see Only the Pimp. Music has not been the same since his departure but his legacy forever will live on.

Sweet Jones Pimp C Trill Life Story Julia Beverly Books Reviews
- When I initially ordered this book I was expecting a couple of interesting insights, behind the scene stories of the legendary Pimp C, and some decent writing. Instead what I began reading was 750+ pages of truly gripping and impressive writing and research. This essentially is a giant Textbook that not only covers the events in the life of the iconic Chad Butler, but also the context behind many defining moments in Pimps life (label woes, personal/family issues, financial issue,
Prolific “beefsâ€) and goes above and beyond in every imaginable way to offer readers an unbiased, honest, and often touching biography behind a very complex and layered individual. Julia Beverly does an IMACULATE job! Without giving too much away, expect to be surprised, touched, and educated in the history of Pimp C and his associates. My personal favorite part discusses his time and personal growth behind bars. The fact this book also has photographs of rap lyrics, family members, associates, prison letters and even tax forms from C’s life, shows that Beverly is not only capable of masterfully retelling a legends life story but also illustrates her capabilities as a researcher/reporter. Never in my life have I finished a piece of literature so massive and been left desperately wanting more. My only request is that Beverly continues her writing career as clearly she is an incredibly gifted and competent author. MUST BUY!!!!! - being from the south gives us opportunities to hear rumors that are pretty accurate, and this book proves them right... from the "master p beef to lil troy to probs with Ludacris/smoke d" Julia puts its all in this book...this book should be $50.00-100.00... I am truly proud of her, and this book explains the insanity that one must face to have a personal life, and an alter ego called an "image" chad was a nerdy, smart, cool guy that used "pimp c" to mask his fears, childhood problems....Julia explains his reasons for being who he became, and has incredible pictures to provide the imagery needed...honestly I read the book in a day and a half...it was like reading while watching the scenes play out in your mind.... pimp c will never get the artistic credit he deserved.... from his signature hi hats, to live instrumentation, singing his own vocals, playing multiple instruments, using his voice to his advantage.... the only person that I never met, that I cried when he passed on.... dude was trill and lived a hell of a life that only rick james/marvin gaye/George Clinton could only understand.... if you love pimp c/ugk or have a passion to read period, get this book asap..... long live the pimp

#UGK4LIFE - I breezed through all 700+ pages of this book in about a week which is a real credit to Julia Beverly but what appreciated most about this book was the honesty by which everyone was painted in this book. There were points in the book where I was like "Wow Chad could be an a-hole!" and things weren't always great between UGK but also parts where I could feel the genuine love and appreciation between Chad and his peers and his fans. There were funny moments (Stephen Jackson randomly popping up in the book to fight shirtless at the reunion concert) and sad ones (Bo-Bo lost his baby in a house fire) and touching ones (everything Mama Wes), but it really made me appreciate the drive and creative genius of one Chad "Pimp C" Butler. Rest In Peace Pimp C and thank you Julia Beverly for a wonderful book.
- I am a huge UGK fan and I Loved me some Pimp C and when I saw that there was a book written about his life, I was only planning to get the book just because I am huge fan but once I started reading, I was pleased at how well it's written and how detailed it is with capturing the complex ups and downs of the determination of UGK to become the Rap phenomena's that they are today. I am sure "Chad Pimp C" Butler would be very proud of how the book depicted his life story. He was a true example of taking the talent that God blesses us with and using it. His lived the life of a determined man and unfortunately he left this world, just when he was starting to rip the fruits of his labor. I've found myself laughing, getting angry and even crying while reading this book. This is a must read book if you are a true UGK fan or a fan of Southern Rap ( Country Rap Tunes) . "UGK 4 Life!!!"
- Other than a knee sock full of shwag and a pint of purp, this book is the most exhaustive resource I have ever encountered with respect to furthering one's understanding of Third Coast hip-hop. It's 750+ pages of 10 pt. font. When's the last time you read a book in 10 pt. font? Yeah, I thought so. This massive tome covers a huge variety of topics concerning Pimp C, Bun B, a ton of other artists, the music industry in general, and most importantly trashes Master P for like 30 pages.
Long live Sweet Jones. UGK 4 Ever. UGK 4 Life.
