Where he grew up in Texas was a quiet town but has now turned into a really bad drug place according to the people that has lived there since birth and has seen Houston at its best. It was very hard for Pimp C growing up to stay out of the streets and out of the trap but his best thing to do to keep him out of it was his favorite thing to do and that to rap.
