What a great look. A blight on society. Real good example for the kids. Sure he throws around some coin on his quest to "legitimize" his image. Many rich, successful criminals have done it before. Apart from his ongoing heavy consumption of drugs, he is an unrepentant Crip. It was only the attraction of becoming a high profile Pimp that prompted the switch from his beloved "Gangsta" action.
This scumbag didn't "turn his life around". He just branched out, into more profitable avenues. Some quotes from the "great man"-
"I was flexin' my pimp muscle and lettin' people see how real pimps do it,"
"If you really a pimp, you should be able to get two bitches to walk on a leash with you down the red carpet and be yo ho's for the night. And when I did it, it really was pimpin'."
"Cause pimpin' ain't a job, it's a sport. I had a bitch on every exit from the 10 freeway to the 101 freeway, 'cause bitches would recruit for me. I had barracudas -- seven or eight of 'em. When a bitch recruits for you, she goes out into the club or the environment and brings back other bitches and makes 'em my ho's. That's pimpin'."
"I made sure my bitch would never talk sh*t to me. She always got all the money upfront, she never looked in another pimp's eyes, she kept her head down. But I wasn't a gorilla pimp where I was beatin' the girls up. I was more finesse with it, just givin' you a comfort zone and providing you with opportunity 'cause I know so many XXX who like buyin' it, so if you come XXX with me, it's not as much of a risk as bein' with a gorilla pimp. He gon' be hard on you and rush you, as opposed to a XXX like me who's gonna relax and let you go get it. And if you don't go get it you just gon' be replaced."
"If you dream of riding the Colossus at Magic Mountain and you get a chance to ride it, you gonna get on it... But I had enough. That pimping XXX was cool 'cause I needed to do it -- it's in me; but I'm into the family, I'm into this now."
Snoop has no regrets. He made himself on ganging and pimping. He just has the bucks to be able to sound like he don' need it now..
