The Hughes brothers' '00 documentary took an unflinching, often amusing look at the street sales/general management end of the World's Oldest Profession. Its soundtrack was fat with old-school pimp-soul grooves, quickly becoming a mixer's delight and rich source for samples -- even if it didn't initially receive an official release. This collection addresses that oversight with a street-smart vengeance, culling together an eclectic, libido-lubed menage a soul that spans the punk-funk of Rick James and the erstwhile jazz of George Duke, and dotted with superstars (Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, WAR) and lesser-known charters (Leon Haywood, Faze-O, Slave) whose contributions are intermixed with colorful comments from the film's most memorable, er, entrepreneurs. A bonus DVD contains 70 minutes of raw, mostly unedited interviews and outtakes with eight of the film's subjects, including an insightful, newly rediscovered reel of comments by Snoop Dogg once thought lost. --Jerry McCulley

 Can't be a Mack without the Godfather November 8, 2008
American Pimp is a great documentary. I'd like to see an updated one.
I too thought the music was straight off the street.
But to leave off "The Godfather of Soul" James Brown's "The Boss" was "square".
 Well worth the price! June 6, 2005
When I first saw the documentary "American Pimp", one of my first reactions was that I hoped a soundtrack was available! The choice of tracks suits the film well, and is an excellent choice of soul, jazz and funk that gives a great feel that is totally appropriate to the subject, and puts the listener right in the middle of the scene.
The tracks are all well chosen, but to me some of the best tracks were from artists like Fazo-O, War and Edwin Starr. Add to the fact that a bonus DVD is included with additional footage (including the 'lost' Snoop interview), and you get an excellent value for the money. Don't pass it up if you are a fan of the film or the musical style.

while the Film was Hit&Miss in spots this Disc of Music truly captures the Streets&Grooves. dig the Dialogues thrown into the Songs.any Set with Slave,Rick James,Issac Hayes,Marvin Gaye,Ohio Players,Curtis Mayfield, is bound to keep your Pimp Mobile on steady roll. all the cuts here truly fit the overall concept.
