I youtube searched all the songs Iceberg Slim name drops in his book "Pimp" and my mind was blown

You need to just put all this shyt in a blog post. The Coli formatting doesn't really do it justice.

“He would say, “Always remember whether you be sucker or hustler in the world out there, you’ve got that vital edge if you can iron-clad your feelings. I picture the human mind as a movie screen. If you’re a dopey sucker, you’ll just sit and watch all kinds of mindwrecking, damn fool movies on that screen.”
He said. “Son, there is no reason except a stupid one for anybody to project on that screen anything that will worry him or dull that vital edge. After all, we are the absolute bosses of that whole theatre and show in our minds. We even write the script. So always write positive, dynamic scripts and show only the best movies for you on that screen whether you are pimp or priest.”

I read Pimp a couple months ago. Fascinating

one part confused me just due to the lingo back then but I’m pretty sure I’m right. At one point Iceberg meets a white girl and goes to her place when her parents are out of town and he then writes in the words of those days, but correct me if I’m wrong, that girl had a dikk?

reason I question it is how the hell would a pimp not tell what a tranny is lol

I read Mike Tysons autobiography and he went to visit Iceberg Slim a few times at his apartment in South Central

I read some summaries of Donald Goines book

Seems like he just wrote the most gruesome street shyt imaginable

 

[ISO]

In Donald Goines book he wrote about a dope fiend having sex with a dog and I’ve heard other drug lords from that era talking about that very same shyt

Nikkas today are not on that type of time shyt is absolutely vile. Demonic c00n shyt.
