 Yeah, we on boss talk one-on-one. Hey man, that was my boy, man. Like I said, I used to love listening to him. I was hurt when he was locked up, you know? Let's talk about that a little bit because that had to take you by storm. When he got locked up, yeah, I gotta have that. Like that's a core thing, a core moment for me because I was with him. You know what I'm saying? Kind of close me off to the music because I cut for him so much just to, I listened to UGK, that was my thing. I met Vaughn a couple of times, like I always say, but I never had to get to meet him. I don't know if he was with me at the car show. I seen him perform at the car show, but I never got to talk with him. Right here in Dallas? Yeah. Oh, I was there. Yeah, I remember that. We had the dickie suit on and coming through walking, just walking in the states, man. You mean right after he got out? Yeah, that's it. Yeah, I was happy about that. Yeah, I remember that. Yeah, yeah. So how did that end up happening? What was going on? You can talk about it now. I'm no longer with us for as high he ended up getting jammed up and all that good stuff. How did he end up getting jammed up? Oh, what happened that made him? Yeah, and then what? I'm going to tell you what he told me. Of course, that's what I wanted from your standpoint. Okay, this is what he told me. Initially, you mean the, what put him on probation? Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay, this is what he told me. He said, I'm in the mall. I'm in a certain store. Okay. He said, I'm talking to the store associate, okay? And the store shows, you know, he's being friendly. He knows who I am. Yeah. You know, everything's cool. So he finishes helping me and he goes and starts helping two girls. And then his excitement, he says, hey, y'all know who that is over there? That's PMC and the girls. Of course. Oh, fuck that motherfucker. Wow. I'm fucked by no PMC. And the Chad, I know. Let me tell you something, that high-pitched voice, you ain't gonna talk him. No. And with it being high-pitched, he cutting you with every word. Yeah, yeah. And so he rip him up with his words. He leave out the store. And so he said, I go into a different store. And as I'm in this different store, it's like 15, 20 minutes later, he said those same young ladies walk in with three or four guys. So in his mind, they go get some guys to come out to him. So he's like, I'm strapped in the mall, bobo, you know, I'm a, you know, so he pull up, show that he strapped. And as he does it, he says, oh, shit, I shouldn't have done it. Put it down. He says, I throw a head toward the door. They go to a mall security. He says, by the time as soon as I hit the door, bobo, bam, they grab him, hit his head all on the door. You know, they grab him. It's two, like two of them grab him. Hit his head all on the door. They say, hit his head on the cop car, everything. Yeah, cause you know. Hell in it. Yeah. So he go to jail. And this is what I learned. A lot of things I learned from that situation. Fast forward, Christmas, Christmas time. So this has to be Christmas 2000, 2000, 2001. I'm at my mom's house. I get a phone call. Well, excuse me. Nah, yeah, I get a phone call cause I got a cell phone there. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It is pimp. Is he's like, bro, you know, my album is already out. Right?

First show in Houston then since I was there. You know what I'm saying? He said, we need you to open. Wow. I said, we in. Right now. So I gotta go tell my family that I gotta go. So I call up all my people, we hit the road, we go down to Houston. It's a beautiful situation. Come back. Okay, let me tell you, this show is Mobile Luciano opening in the middle fingers and then it's UGK. So then we come back, you know, the next week, mama called me. Yeah. She said, baby, talk to Chad. We just got this dirty city tour booked. Okay. I said, okay, wow. You know, we're gonna pay, we're gonna pay you. I ain't gonna tell you how much it's gonna pay you. But it's, it's one thing about. It's lucrative. Oh my God. One thing about Chad and that whole family, UGK family, they were not stingy with the money. Yeah. You know, when I was the hype man, they paid me like a, like I was out there. Like an artist. Yeah. Like an artist. You know, I had my own room. You know, I didn't have to sleep with the DJ, sleep with the dance. None of that. None of that. Mobile, you got your own room and this is your money. Oh shit. After the show, go in mama's room and get the money. So yeah, so, so we do this show. She tell us, you know, we're gonna do this fit.

So Boomtown living up here. I said, that's gonna be wild. I said, well mama, since the camera's gonna be there and everybody gonna be in present, this gonna shoot Biscuit of Papi video at the same time. She said, let me call Chad and ask him. She called Chad, she called me right back. He said, that's a pfft, genius. So next week, he went to, for his court apartment and never came out. Wow. And never came back out. Well, never's a long word. Four years. Yeah, four years later. Yeah. So that hurts. And I know it did hurt you. Did you, you did take trips down there? Where? I never, he told me, he told me don't come. Okay. He told me, I rode him almost, I rode him once a month at least. And he rode back. Oh, every, yeah. Yeah, I got, come on now. You know, so, and every time I said, boy, let me put some money on your books. He wouldn't take it. He wouldn't take it from me at all. He's like, I got people putting money on my books, but boy, I know you're trying to make it. I said, okay, you need it. Let me know, I got it. And that's how it was. Wow. That's dope, man, that he understood because I can relate. Chad, you know, I hear a lot of people on, cause I watch you, I follow you. And people say this and you've heard this from everybody and it's true. There was a difference between Chad and there was a difference between PMC. Yeah, yeah. I'm one of the only people that I know. That's what runs, runs, runs special state. I know Pimp as Chad Bartlow. Okay. Now, this is the thing that Pimp did that he didn't do around a lot of people. When we were, when I was on the tour with him, we would, you know, do our music and get off the stage and do, he would always call me and say, and I was marking. He would always. She said that. She would always, he would always come in. Hey, Ryan, what you doing? I said, man, I'm just, man, come on down here. Let's go to the Waffle House. I need to eat some steak and eggs. I said, okay, steak and eggs. I said, yeah, we're going to get steak and eggs. I don't want nobody else with us just going to be me and you. So he still got his Pimp feel talking to me. And I would laugh and I'm like, he's a character, but he's a really good. So that was him all the time. He never turned on and off? He turned on and off. So it's like, when he get ready to go to the show, well, I put it this way. When we together, he's like real calm and just say, hey, man, come on, man, let's go. Go chill, go to the mall or something, buy some stuff for the next show or something. Cool. The character ain't out yet, but soon as we get out the car, the character kick in. So we getting ready to go to the mall. We don't realize how early it is. It ain't over. So the security come to the door and this the first time he talked. So he say, I wonder why y'all don't open the door for me. I'm Pimp C, y'all don't open this damn door. I'm trying to spend some money. So I'm looking and I'm saying, he didn't change. You know, so he didn't change. He say, you know who I am? I'm Pimp C, open the door. I got money. So I do say, man, we ain't open. He said, man, I don't give a damn about you. Open the door, open it. So I'm like, man. So I'm just sitting back and saying, what you waiting on? Come on in. So I said, all right, see, come on in. I come on in and he kind of, he said, we just gonna win the shot. So he got his hands and he do his mouth like that. We just gonna win the shot. I'm looking for some shit tonight. Cause I perform and I'm like, man. So he say, Ronnie, what you want? I say, man, whatever you need of me to be in. He said, get what you want. Cause I'm paying for it. I got money. So I'm like, man, so the security go, okay, yes, sir. Oh, yes, sir. I'm gonna go get my manager. So we gonna open the door. Go get him. So I said, man, I'm looking at this cat. I'm like, man. What city we all in? He really, we was in Chicago. I'm chilling. I'm like, man, he really in myself. I'm sending myself. He really is then turning to the character again. So you know what I'm saying? So after we got all our stuff and then we get back in the car, he said, all right, man, we gonna win the shot. It was different. I'm one of the only people that, I don't think Chad ever went out for him. Really? Yeah. Everybody goes. You and probably running, because running said the same thing, because of you all. Yeah. And I was older. That's what it is. I was like that. No, don't do that. Don't do that, bro. Bro, you tripping. Yeah. I was that on his shoulder. That's why he always liked me around. Because when he got to tripping, I, you tripping, Pio. Chad, you tripping. And he'll listen to you. Oh, what? What? Yeah, it was different. So when you, when you, when he was down there and he gets ready to come home, you know, I know now this is where the celebration begins. But I know it's hard as y'all go through it. Yeah, we on Boss Talk 101.
