1.0 out of 5 stars U-know-what-Im-Sayin, March 19, 2005

By	Bishop Dane (SEATTLE, WA United States) - See all my reviews

Well, If you saw the original then there is no point getting this pointless add-on, just a gimic by the Hughes Brothers to pump more money out of the same product by scraping discarded film-clips from the floor and throwing them together and giving them a new title.
The original was slickly edited to create a rather seemless documentary - in this unfortunate follow-up we see the Pimps as they truly are - unable to create a single coherant sentence. What you'll hear is one full hour of sentences like, "And then I met this Ho U-know-what-I'm-Sayin, and we were vibing U-know-what-I'm-Sayin and she was trying to play U-know-what-I'm-Sayin so I put my Pimp moves on her U-know-what-I'm-Sayin and soon she was inline with my pimpin U-know-what-I'm-Sayin and it was tight U-know-what-I'm-Sayin", or you get Rosebudd spending 5 full minutes trying to figure out which hotel one of his hoes was murdered in - extrememly boring stuff.

Ironically, pimps talk about the need to have good verbal skills and all, but after listenting to this it was obvious that most 3 year olds have better verbal skills than they do. Also there was nothing "raw" about this really except that you hear the word that rhymes with witch about 3,000 times, but they already did that in the original. There is a long interview with Snoop Dogg but it's not very interesting at all, and certainly not enlightening.
As for the soundtrack, I havn't listened to it yet but you could download those songs from the internet for free so why spend money buying this CD?
All in all this is a very sad effort U-know-what-I'm-Sayin ?

5.0 out of 5 stars VERY EDUCATIONAL ON HOW TO DEAL WITH WOMEN, August 22, 2008

By	FUZZY SKULL (NORTHPORT, NEW YORK USA) - See all my reviews

The pimps fill me with shame with how they treat those poor innocent women.But you do have to admit, must be nice to have someone love you so much they sell there bodies for you.Like the Great Bishop Don Juan says. I supply the house the car, the medical care , the clothes ,all she has to do is provide the money.He is right, He is giving Four things. The Bitches are just giving one thing.One of my favorite quotes from the film is "If you said your gonna kill her, you better beat her like you trying to kill her, she is going to test what ever comes out of your mouth" This man Knows Women.Should be shown in all are H.S. So are young Boys will know how to properly interact with the opposite sex and not be manipulated by the little Bitches.Fantastic film , don't miss it.
