And he\u2019s like, \u2018I like these guys, I wanna work with them. And Pimp C did not want to fuck with people that 2Pac did not fuck with, because he thought 2Pac was the best judge of character.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The late Port Arthur legend weighed all of this up when JAY-Z reached out to request UGK\u2019s involvement on what would be the best performing single from his fourth studio album,\u00a0<em>Vol. 3\u2026 Life and Times of S. Carter.<\/em><\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhen that first call came from JAY-Z, we were at the house in Atlanta, and [Pimp C] looked up at the wall. And he just stared at the picture.
