Interesting look at an important figure but could have used more excerpts from the books and albums to show what it was that was so great about them rather then just have everyone saying they were great.

Seriously, enough already. There's just no way to emphasize how truly ridiculous Ice Tee is and his utter fascination with pimpetry. Yes that's a word. For any man to think that he is so talented to "make" a stable of women who are not meant to be whores or who don't have the propensity to be whores somewhere in their subconscious minds - is a d*am fool. But misogynists love to feel responsible for all of their treacherous deeds so perhaps I should just mind my business and let them. This is an awful documentary that shows us, if we would just look deeper, how foolish and ridiculous a lot of famous men are from the sub-culture of rap, pimping, and everything else. To glorify and even classify Iceberg Slim as a genius is laughable. I'm not sure what kind of IQ is required to enjoy a story about a pimp who was never found dead, but go ahead and try. I found this film to be awful.

When he went from pimp to author &

When he went from pimp to author & thus from remorseless to remorseful he became a sympathetic person to my sensibilities in this biopic. Normally there's few things that disgust & enrage me more than a pimp. This film really made me feel empathy (as though he deserved it).
