I'm about half way through and I like it alot, plenty of allegory if you can see through the pimp slang, I'm having to read a lil slower because as a younger kat, I'm unfamiliar with some of the slang, but it's a great read nonetheless, I heard Ice T was making a film based on these writings...Anyone read it? Thoughts?

Is it a hard copy you're reading? I wanted to read the book for the longest...looking for a digital copy tho
 
Read Icberg Slim first about 15 years ago. I read it again last year. Its a classic! If you get a chance read some of Robert Beck's other books. I'd reccomend Mama Black Widow and Doom Fox. Oh and don't forget there's a glossary in the back to help with the slang.
 
Yeah i read it like 10 years ago very good read. I'm interested in that audion version
 
I read a couple Bergs books years back. Might be time to dust off again.

Ice Cube was supposed to produce a Berg movie too. Dont know what happened.
 
If i'm not wrong but I read it here on the board that Cash Money's Birdman bought the rights to the Iceberg Slim books.
 
Yeah I read that shit, still have the same copy in the door of my ride.

Classic
 
Question for those who read it...

Is it about anything deeper then just "pimping"?

Personally, I think it's gospel in how to deal with a woman in a relationship. Have used the philosophy for many years on the wife. Nothing to do with pimping, just the female mindset.

Church!
 
Interesting bit he did...the crowd's reaction was interesting too...maybe I'm reading too much into it but it was like they didn't get what he was tryna say...they only laughed and hollered @ choice words "nigga" "bitch" "ho" "watermelon" but they got quiet as hell when he made that point about the missing white girl :lol:
