Buy This Item American Pimp by MGM (Video & DVD)  Available from Amazon  $13.99  on 10-4-2008     Urban auteur filmmakers, the Hughes Brothers (Menace II Society, Dead Presidents) hitthe mean streets with an "incredibly entertaining and charismatic" (Shout) expose on real-life pimps. A "snappy, stylish documentary" (The New York Post) containing "blunt, raw power and stylistic energy" (The Hollywood Reporter), American Pimp is "a primer on pimp craftand culture" (Shout) that takes you into the shadowy world of prostitution, "putting on the screen everything you ever wanted to know about pimps" (Nuart). Cutting straight to the heart of the world's oldest profession, this intimate portrait of infamous "mack-daddies" like Filmore Slim, C-Note, Gorgeous Dre and Rosebudd is eye-opening and shocking. From the dirty streets of New York, L.A. and San Francisco to the "Player's Ball" in Milwaukee, you'll walk the boulevard ofbroken dreams and hear every heart-wrenching story and hilarious anecdote. It's an exclusive ride you've never experiencedand won't soon forget. Reader Reviews I wonder about people sometimes.. they want the documentary to tell them right from wrong. That's just stupid. This film is a verite style documentary.. they just interview pimps and prostitutes. Now think for a moment.. do you think these people are going to talk badly about their lifestyle? They are proud of it and say so. There are no rebuttals.. except in your own head (SO USE IT).. You HAVE to think.. and it does make you think.. because most of these guys are such good communicators and persuasive (basic skills of a good pimp) and very entertaining. You may be put off what they do, but you get to see their world from their perspective. So your brain is the filter for how you interpret the film.. don't look to the filmmakers to tell you what is right and wrong. This is a real documentary.. its not an after 1:00 AM cable porn documentary. There is no nudity, nothing but long sentences of 4 letter words. And in my opinion, as someone who makes documentaries, it's a great one, and one of my personal favorites.
