À propos de cet audio

A blueprint. A bible. What Sun Tzu’s Art of War was to ancient China, Pimp is to the streets. 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. 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. 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.

Only Slim could tell this story and make the listener feel it. If you thought Hustle & Flow was the true pimp story, this book is where it all began. This is the heyday of the pimp, the hard-won pride and glory, small though it may be; the beginnings of pimp before it was dragged in front of the camera, before pimp juice and pimp style. Though it is a tale of his times, it will remain current and true for as long as there is a race bias, as long as there is a street life, as long as there is exploitation.

The whole time listening I was wondering how would one approach adapting this book into a movie and/or mini series without watering things down… hmm?

love the dialog of the pimps it's hilarious and you get good feel of how they conversed with each other . the slangs takes a min to get used to but there's a glossary (didn't know that until the end of the book )

a fun story

a well written glimpse into the life and times of a man whose choices you may not agree with but you will understand. I picked this book because it was recommended and I'm happy to say it was well enjoyed. We are born into this world and told these are the right choices and these are the wrong choices. says who?. everuthing this man did when done by a co-operation is widely accepted if you think about it. but that's just my opinion. hope you enjoy it as much as i did
