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.

Didn't even finish it. Hated the language and violence to women. I tried to keep going but I was beginning to feel depressed.

Not my style.

I have to say that I did like this book. I would have appreciated if it included the glossary at the beginning of the book instead of at the end (like some listeners have noted). I often had to figure out the slang that was used. This is an interesting look at the life of a pimp and the women they serve. The storyline was good enough to hold my attention. You can never go wrong with a book narrated by Cary Hite.

Good Listen

This is a mind-blowing epic of American literature. Some people may turn their noses up at it, but to me it is one of the best books I have ever had the pleasure to read. The humanity it dwells upon is ever present, from the deepest most sincere love to the depths of absolute depravity and descent. It is the agony and the ecstacy of a human being and I would recommend it to anyone with and open mind, a heart and a backbone. It is funny, it's terrifying and riveting all at the same time. If Mr. Iceberg Slim weren't such a character or mixed morality I would call him a hero for writing this book. But there are plenty of heroes out there. He is something infinitely more complicated.

An American Classic

I don't read very many book's but this one is definitely one to look into. The whole time I pictured myself in the shoes of this person and I felt very connected to his story on a personal level.

Very Deep Story

Its a fabulous insight into Iceberg's world of 1920s-1950s America. The way it is described, and talked about, it does immerse you into that world. The story itself seemed to be more of an interesting perspective on the relationship of that specific racial and social class. The performance was excellent though, very well delivered.

I know nothing of this world, and having listened to this book, still know nothing, but having heard Iceberg's tale, it is quite enlightening. Very different. I would recommend it, but it is a bit harsh in places.

Startling!
