This book was a total joke. I've known a few pimps and many counter-culture members and this guy is neither, least in my experience. The whole book is filled with BS stories, too much cursing and calling people out and no knowledge whatsoever. You cannot be an excellent writer if you have no wisdom to impart. This guy is so boring, so fake sounding and the stories are so impersonal and unreal that I give this the big two thumbs down. I honestly didnt' get more than 1/3 through it before I had to stop with total disgust. I skimmed the rest and realized there was nothing in the latter half either so I left it on the curb for a bum to pick up. That's what it was worth to me. Heck, I'd feel bad if a bum wasted his time reading it. I'm sorry but this was the worst piece of literature I've seen in awhile. Go read Icerberg Slim books or Donald Goines, they both rock. From what I read of this one it seemed that some suburban kid wrote it as a joke just to see how many he could sell. He probably read Iceberg Slim's book and figured he could make up a story about Pimpin and call it a catchy and cheesy name like "Master Pimpin by Master Pimp". LOL.. what a joke. Only one book by him, what a surprise!

Let me tell everyone the secret to becoming a Pimp as this book puts it: Have another pimp just Give you a ho. That's it. Nothing about what to do, say, think, act. The rest of this book is filled with accounts of this n that, seems fictional but yet boring. Nothing educational, Pimps up Hoes Down has more knowledge than this waste. Save your money...

This square breaks almost every rule in the pimp rule book and has the nerve to call himself a master pimp. any true mack that read this book knows this Johnny Benford was always a square whos constantly getting Georgia'd by broads dont waste your time IceBerg Slim & Goines are all you need to turn out.

You don't realize until towards the end of this book how much of a joke it actually is. This kid tries to front like a Master Pimp but in fact he is a FairyTale square. Although he plays it like some sort of story of his life sans the realism ... making it an allegory teaching the ins and outs of the game, you start to realize in sheer horror towards the end of the book that the whole thing is a piece of Narcotics Anonymous propoganda masquerading as a booking on pimpin'.

What a farcical piece of tripe.

After reading Grandmaster Slim, K-Flex, or even A.S. Jackson, it's no wonder this dorkwit had to spend his own money to publish and distribute his book. Any real publisher would have told him that his game needs so much work that he needs to go back to the school of hard knocks and STAY THERE FOREVER.

The Pimp's Rap is the real deal. A true story-- I can vouch for it, I know the Master Pimp myself-- this book tells it like it is and pulls no punches. Anyone who REALLY wants to know about what's going on in America owes it to themselves to read this book.

This book is better than it seems on the first read. Squares should like it. Low level pimps and prostitutes may not. In order to find the game in this book one should listen very closely to the words of the author's "teacher."

This provides a good insider's view of the pimp world. It shows that pimpin' skills can be learned like selling skills. Very sensual and graphic. It gives a reader a basic knowledge of what the game is like.

This man is brilliant he weaves a story of street life and morals that is compelling.This is definately a must read for any young man living the street life,trying to see good in himself and life.A rare gem giving a glimspe of urban life with glitz & flare abound.Master Pimp tells a story we all can gain something from.

the author has a definite best seller on his hands as this book keeps the readers attention from beginning to end.There is no question that the writer has been there and done that and has the ability to describe his experiences in ways that will surely captivate ones imagination. Simply put, the pimps rap is a great book.

This is the greatest book about pimping I've ever read. If you enjoyed Iceberg Slim's "Pimp" or "Whoreson" by Donald Goines, you'll absolutly love "The Pimp's Rap."
