The lead single “Hogg in the Game” invokes the spirit of UGK’s earlier work with pounding synths reminiscent of tracks like “Break ‘Em Off” and “Playaz From the South.” Pimp C’s “Fuck You” attitude shines on the opening verse: With “The Sweet James Jones Stories” Pimp C takes advantage of this hype, delivering an album that will surely please long-time fans and show the newcomers that Pimp C is just not another rapper behind bars.
X-Raided has built an entire career on being locked up, C-Murder is gaining similar cult status, Tony Yayo had a legion of fans wearing his shirts, and Shyne seemed to get more press behind bars than he ever did free. It seems the minute the hip-hop community finds out one of their own has been locked up fans come out of the woodwork and supporters suddenly start pledging their faithfulness. It’s sad to say that Pimp C could actually benefit from being locked up, Biggie said “You’re nobody ‘til somebody kills you” and Jadakiss said “dead rappers get better promotion,” the same could be said about rappers who get locked up. It is under these condition’s that his solo debut is released, the album packaging even has the words “Free Pimp C” written on it. Pimp C’s attitude on the mic has also been displayed in real life as he is currently locked up for assault with a deadly weapon.

In the movie “Goodfellas” one would think Pimp C could play hot-headed Tommy DeVito and Bun-B would assume the role of Jimmy Conway, you wouldn’t want to mess with either but you’d figure Jimmy would at least think before he finished you off.
His high-pitched and in-your-face flow has always been the perfect contrast to Bun-B’s equally menacing, but more laid back Southern growl. As part of the criminally slept-on Southern duo UGK, Pimp C has gained a large following among Southern rap enthusiasts.
