UGK has been nominated for the best rap performance by a duo or group for their collaboration with OutKast for their song Int'l Players Anthem (I Choose You). The song is up against Common, featuring Kanye West, Fat Joe, featuring Lil Wayne, Shop Boyz and a track featuring West, Nas and KRS-One.
UGK member Bun B had this to say, "While this nomination is bittersweet to say the least, I am thankful for the acknowledgement. And as this was a lifelong dream for Chad [Pimp C], it warms my heart to know that he has finally gotten the recognition from the powers that be that his talent, passion and relentless drive for music so rightfully deserved."
Pimp C was found dead in his hotel room last week in Los Angeles.
