Claude Hudson "Butch" Trucks (born May 11, 1947) is an American drummer who is one of the founding members of The Allman Brothers Band.
One of Trucks' first bands was local Jacksonville band The Vikings, who made one 7-inch record in 1964. Another early band was The 31st of February which formed and broke up in 1968. This group's lineup eventually included both Duane Allman and Gregg Allman. They recorded a cover of "Morning Dew", by 1960s folk singer Bonnie Dobson.
Trucks then helped form The Allman Brothers Band in 1969, along with Duane Allman (guitar), Gregg Allman (vocals and organ), Dickey Betts (guitar), Berry Oakley (bass), and fellow drummer Jai Johanny Johanson.
Together, the two drummers developed a rhythmic drive that would prove crucial to the band. Trucks laid down a powerful conventional beat while the jazz-influenced Johanson added a second laminate of percussion and ad libitum cymbal flourishes, seamlessly melded into one syncopated sound.
Said founding member and co-lead guitarist Dickey Betts of Trucks' addition to the original band lineup, "...When Butch came along, he had that freight train, meat-and-potatoes kind of thing that set Jaimoe up perfectly. He had the power thing we needed."
Rest in peace to pimp c
Rest in peace huey
Yea, fake niggaz out here
Too many fake niggaz out here
[Chorus:]
Too many bitch niggaz alive
Too many hoes ass niggaz alive
Real niggaz dead or doing time
Real niggaz dead or doing timeee
I'm in the atmosphere, here in the lear
Respect violence, instill fear
I spray 3 nigga, out the black rueg
I'm a gangsta a.m.d all the tatoos
Niggaz hate me, they hate secretly
They hate frequently, they ain't shit too me
The rap game full of real nigga copies
Record stores closing cause they ain't selling copies
I ain't george clooney, but I make a movie
The force ruin me, you a male groupie
My face a jewel, you in fake jewels
My eyes a diamond tester, I could spot cubes
I could spot mosies, my spot cosy
I'm on the yaught homie ya wife wanna drop from me
Cause she's my biggest fan
New 750 big grill big fan
