Pimp: The Story of My Life

As real as you can get without jumping in, this is the story of Slim’s life as he saw, felt, tasted, and smelled it. Only he could tell this story and make the reader 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. A trip through hell by 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. 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.

well well well!! On my last day in Vietnam, Ho Chi Minh City, I met a flatlander!! His name was Tanh Ga and he was riding at a pretty roughed up spot.

It was quite fortunate as he said there was only 5 flatlanders in the entire city and that bmx bikes are more expensive that the infinite scooters running throughout vietnam.

Just to give you an idea, a scooter is bout 40 million dong and a bmx bike is around 60 million dong... So ladies... take note who the real pimps are.. =)
