The Lost Interviews with the Pimp - Book Two

Iceberg Slim, a figure infamous for his role as a pimp, was much more than that. This second collection of rare, explicit interviews provides unprecedented insight into his incredible life and mind. Slim was a victim of childhood abuse, racism, and the Great Depression, as well as a drug addict, hustler, prison escapee, and multi-million book-selling author. He was one of the first rap record artists, an orator, a pre-eminent writer, a father, a husband, and an advocate of a socially constructive life.

The interviews in this collection cover a wide range of big topics, from applying "the game" in square relationships to the con game, sex, drugs, education, writing, racial issues, fatherhood, politics, crime, and punishment. These interviews are complemented by Camille Beck's tragic story, told by her sister Misty; FBI records, mug shots, and historical records; the true story of Baby Bell and Sweet Jones; and the true story of Henry and Iceberg's mother.

Revealing insights from those who knew Iceberg Slim are also included, such as Mike Tyson, Camille and Misty Beck, Diane Beck, the story of Betty Beck's first meeting with Iceberg, and Bentley Morriss (CEO of Holloway House Publishing). Additionally, Ice-T, Bishop Don Magic Juan, and others provide relevant commentary on Iceberg's life, work, and great legacy.
