Why do pimps always get their way?

In answer to the question above: Because they know who to slap, and how to slap them.

This little ditty just had to be told, cuz I got slapped - and pretty hard.

When I was about nine I lived in L.A. with some family, and there not only did I get to see, but got to meet and know, my first pimp.
Since then I've been enchanted by these coke-snortin', clown-dressin', gold chain-draggin', coathanger-carryin' muthafuckas.
They even gave me a laugh by shooting one another in the genitals in front of Mac's Duece on South Beach.
Man... good times.

Until now!

Turns out the O.G. player himself, Iceberg Slim (aka Robert Beck) has gotten my website suspended for copyright violation.
Just for having a section ('Salty Trip with Pepper') of his book PIMP in my virtual library. Sure it's the part where one pimp teaches him to handle a woman you have to beat her with a wire-coathanger. That's the part all young men pay to buy the book for, because everyone knows that his book is "the Pimp's Bible".
So no matter how much of The Game he left behind, and growing up ol' Robert's done... it turns out he's still a measly pimp.

He wasn't getting his cut, and he had to slap some bitches around!

Originally posted here was Chapter 3 of PIMP by Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck), 1969. Even today it is still used by pimps starting out in the business.
