Description of Sweet Jones: Pimp C's Trill Life Story
Review 'An extraordinary and complete work ... [Pimp C was] the most important and influential musician in Southern rap history.' - Music journalist Matt Sonzala 'A work of intense reporting and deep love by Julia Beverly, the founder and often one-woman engine behind Ozone magazine ... it's a virtual ticktock of Pimp C's life, covering his school choir days; his early years as a producer; UGK's success; his drug use; his many squabbles; his criminal history; his family life; the comeback that never quite came; and the legal troubles that dogged his estate after his death, from a combination of prescription cough syrup intoxication and sleep apnea. It also ends up being a document of the last innocent days of Houston rap, before eyes and hands were fixed on it.' - The New York Times 'Fascinating, well-researched biography of a brilliant, troubled, flawed, talented, compassionate individual who changed the world despite all that stood in his path ... [SWEET JONES] shattered every single assumption I would make about rappers - the book humanizes him and his family and friends, and exposes his genius and his flaws ... an incredible story - hilarious, difficult, tragic, and frustrating throughout.' - Professor Andrew Cencini 'One of the most entertaining and informative rap books that I've ever read ... I gained a whole new level of respect and understanding of [UGK] through the book. [It] took me into that world, into Short Texas, into Bun B's mind, into Pimp C's life ... It's almost like an action movie ... an astounding piece of work ... I only hope it gets all of the praise and exposure it deserves and inspires a spate of deeply researched books in the genre.' - Music journalist Kris Ex Read more From the Back Cover '[Pimp C] was brilliant, but he was mad; he was a little nutty. He was a madman, and he really didn't give a shit. That's what was so endearing and refreshing about him, and what made him such a special person ... [He] had a rough exterior but underneath it all he had a big heart and was really just a good person who was - as many artists are - just frustrated, [trying] to get his voice heard.'�- Barry Weiss, former CEO of Jive Records'I wouldn't be here without [UGK] ... All it takes is one person to do something and make everybody else feel that they can do it too. And they was one of the first to do it.'�- Lil Wayne'[UGK] gave birth to Southern rap. UGK made it cool to be country.'�- Scarface'Pimp C helped lay the foundation that we stand on where Southern Hip-Hop music is concerned.'�- J. Prince, CEO of Rap-A-Lot Records, Raw Report DVD'I grew up on 'em. If it wasn't for UGK, Ludacris probably wouldn't even be here.'�- Ludacris, The Final Chapter DVD'[Pimp C] was a revolutionary. He was an undercover agent of God. [To] change people's lives, you gotta be able to get into spots where people need the most help.'�- Kool Ace'Pimp was larger than life. I honestly thought he would live forever.'�- Nancy Byron, Pimp C's publicist, The Source Magazine'The [posthumous] music doesn't really matter to me. I'd give it all back if I could have my friend back.'�- Bun B, Houston Chronicle'As we keep a lighter up for the Pimp, it's only right that we remember him not just for his often-under-rated musical contribution but also for his indomitable, smack-talking spirit.'�- The FADER Read more About the Author Julia Beverly solidified her position in the male-dominated urban music industry as the CEO and Editor-in-Chief of�OZONE�Magazine, which she founded in 2002.
