If you thought Hustle & Flow was the true pimp story, this book is where it all began. Only Slim could tell this story and make the reader feel it.
By telling the story of one man’s struggles and triumphs in an underground world, Pimp shows us the game doesn’t change it just has a different swagger. It is a trip through hell by the one man who lived to tell the tale-the dangers of jail, addiction, and death that are still all too familiar for today’s Black community. As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the story of Iceberg Slim’s life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. What Sun Tzu’s Art of War was to ancient China, Pimp is to the streets.
