In 2001 two Dru Down albums came out. The first one was "Pimp Phernelia". It was not on C-Note Records, the label DD had been on for a long time. It was on another label, since Dru left C-Note, also having a beef with the labels owner Chris Hicks (C&H). The second one was "Gangsta Pimpin'". It was ON C-Note Records and it includes material Dru Down did while he was still there. The truth is that both of the albums were VERY good, I love them both. Dru Down is one of those artists to be blessed both with A LOT OF talent and also a GREAT production team. So untull now he hasn't had a bad album. I think Gangsta Pimpin' is also a great album, a bit better than Pimp Phernelia. It's just more perfected, more polished, better production on it. It's a shame so many people sleep on Dru Down. They say that he fell off after his 1996 classic "Can You Feel Me", but it's not true. Maybe his later 2 albums aren't as PERFECT, but to me, they are not that far behind. Dru Down always tears it up, his flow and raps are always on point. And the producers he works with always come up with some [great] music. Especially on "Gangsta Pimpin'". Nothing special with most of the rappers featured. With the esception of one of the best songs on the album - "Don't Shoot Pimpin'". It features AMG and Suga Free. They fit Dru Down's style so well - they should make a group together, for real!! And the beat on the song is bumpin'! Anway, there is no weak songs on this one, 90% is DA BOMB. You'll love it, if you are a fan of the East Oakland Pimp Playa OG.

What more can you expect from the illegitimate son of Bootsy Collins.It's as if Bootsy has passed his musical genes onto his son,which is a very good thing.You can definatly hear the P-Funk sound is this album.

this is definately a 5 compared to pimpin phanelia which is a 1 .he definitely came up on this one .explicit game is tight & can you feel me also.it is a must have for dru down fan,it's original.dd

It's off the hook good come back for dru down the pimp of the year go scoop it up nodoubt.

Dru Down is a Bay Area legend. He blew up many years ago with the anthem, `Pimp Of The Year'. He came out with a few albums and various guest appearances (you may know him from the first verse in `I Got Five On It [Bay Area Remix]`) and on the Luniz "Silver + Black" bootleg album floating around the Bay Area. Also just a few months ago he released "Pimpin' Phernalia", which only had a few bangers on it, like `I'm A Pimp', `You Know', and `No Underwear' with Yukmouth. But now he releases "Gangsta Pimpin'", a quick follow up
