iceberg slim. no creative title necessary.

i've been meaning to post about this book for a hot minute, but i kept getting sidetracked by the fact that the cover is so sparkly (joking, joking).

on the real though, iceberg slim is insane. he's a crazy ass motherfucker that grew up in wisconsin and went on to become a rich pimp that constantly found himself behind bars. this all went down in the late 1930's, back when suits were called vines and men really did turn tricks.

iceberg slim's best work, in my opinion, is Pimp: Story of My Life. from hitting whores with wire hangers to going down on the babysitter, iceberg slim has lived an insane life. and he really exemplifies pimp culture, not the watered down bullshit we hear about in rap songs.

if you want a wild ride filled with beat down street pussy, crime, sex, drama and the nitty gritty streets, eat it up. it's just as much a history lesson as a trashy extravaganza.
