Hurricane Chris says Pimp C threatened to pull up on him after being left off the "Ay Bay Bay" remix.

Hurricane Chris says that Pimp C was furious after being left off of the remix to his hit song, "A Bay Bay." He discussed the making of the track during a recent appearance on Math Hoffa's My Expert Opinion. Chris says that everyone in the industry sent him verses in an attempt to get on the remix to the single.

“This how the remix come about,” he began. “A million people send verses in. Everybody in the game. But my relationships with Birdman, Lil Wayne, um Boosie — people that I respect on the West Coast were E40. The people I respected over here [East Coast] were Jadakiss.” “So, I had a verse from everybody. From everybody you could think of in the world. But the West Coast, I like people like the Game. So, I was only able to pick a few people,” he added. “I had Baby, The Game, E40, Jadakiss, Boosie, Angelo from my city — on the remix. But, it really was the entire industry that sent me a verse. If I were to play you all the verses right now it would be everybody in the rap game from Jamaicans to Spanish people to Pitbull to Beanie Man — for 'A Bay Bay.'”

Then, Chris admitted that he regrets not letting Pimp C be featured on the track. “That hurt my heart. Still to this day. I regret the fact that Pimp C ain’t on ‘A Bay Bay’ bro,” he said. “And guess what? The A&R that Pimp C sent the verse to got killed. I ain’t even got the verse."

“I heard it like two times," he continued. "When Cam said he wasn’t rocking with it, I said ‘Cam you’re from New York. You ain’t from the south. No matter how you feel about this, Pimp C is very influential and we cannot take him off this record. Number two, he said he gone kill all ya’ll if you take him off this record." Chris added that Pimp C pulled up on them after learning he was cut from the track. “He called me the day he found out he wasn’t on that remix and said ‘Chris where you at man? I’m outside I know where you at. Tell them n****s to come outside mane. We finna slaughter them bitch ass n****s.”
