Dizzee Rascal has paid tribute to Pimp C, one half of UGK, who, as previously reported, was found dead in his hotel room this week. The UK rapper told reporters that Pimp C's music had helped him "through a lot of hard times growing up" and that his premature death was "tragic". Speaking to MTV, he continued: "I was lucky enough to work with Pimp before he left us and although outspoken at times personally I found him to be one of the humblest and most generous people I have ever come across.
