Megan Thee Stallion‘s new album Megan is laced with star-studded features, but perhaps most notable is a verse from the late Pimp C on her UGK and Juicy J collab, “Paper Together.”
Released with the album on Friday (June 28), the Juicy and Go Grizzly-produced track fittingly finds Pimp referencing a stable as he effortlessly floats over the beat.
“A young, yellow bitch’ll rip your stable/ You gotta keep the bitch on a long cable/ I used to cut cheese up on the table/ But now I sell dope on a record label,” he raps.
Upon announcing the tracklist earlier this month, Meg said of securing the posthumous verse: “Likeeee I got Pimp anddd Bunnn on a song stop playing w(ith) me.”
In the comments, Bun B added, “They ain’t ready!”
Upon Megan Thee Stallion signing to Roc Nation back in 2019, Pimp C’s widow Chinara Butler revealed in her congratulatory post that she had some unreleased verses from her late husband on reserve for her fellow Houston native.
“And I’m hold on to a couple of Unreleased verses of #PimpC just for you!!!! Get’em #TinaSnow #HotGirlOfTheYear!!!! #Yessssss #texasgirls #TrillQueenTalk #megantheestallion #LongLiveThePimp,” she wrote.
Meg has expressed her love for Pimp C throughout her career.
“I would get in the car and my mama would be playing Pimp C. I would get in the car every day after school and be like, ‘Mama, put on that Pimp,’” she once revealed in an interview with Complex.
“So I took it into being grown now, just still bumping him. He just made me feel so cool as a kid. I didn’t even understand what he was saying, but I knew it just felt good. I wish he was alive because I wish I could have met him.”
Elsewhere on the new album, Megan appears to rekindle her feud with Nicki Minaj on track number two “Rattle.”
“I wanted everybody right here with me/ But that was my fault, bein’ too friendly/ I was thinkin’ everything was all good/ But the whole time, you was my enemy,” she raps in her opening verse.
She later appears to reference Nicki’s husband and child, spitting: “Damn, bitch, it been four years/ Worry ’bout your man and your kid/ Your life must be borin’ as fuck if you still reminiscin’ ’bout shit that we did.”
“It been four years” seems to be a nod to either Megan’s “WAP” collaboration with fellow Nicki Minaj rival Cardi B or Tory Lanez shooting her, which Nicki has made light of in her attacks against the “Savage” hitmaker.
Megan then appears to target Nicki’s allies by saying: “And I ain’t worried ’bout the bitter-bitch link-up/ Y’all hoes earned them seats in the fan club,” seemingly referencing the Young Money rapper bringing out JT, BIA, Akbar V and others during her Pink Friday 2 Tour.

Her blistering verse ends with: “Ain’t got no tea on me, this ho think she TMZ,” which could be a nod to Nicki’s “Tea Party” episode of her Amazon Amp radio show where she alluded to Megan once encouraging her to get an abortion.
The lyrical jabs continue on the next song, “Figueroa,” where Megan makes direct reference to Nicki’s fervent fanbase.
“I’m a motherfuckin’ brat, not a Barbie/ On go with any bitch that wanna start it,” she raps, while also calling out “pussy hoes on the internet usin’ me to drive traffic.”
