50 Cent - P.I.M.P. - Single Review

50 Cent
P.I.M.P.

Although it seems unfathomable to work out what the acronym actually stands for, seeing as this single is largely dominated by Snoop Dogg (better known as the Dee-oh-double-Gee, fo’ shizzle) I’m not going to criticise it too harshly, for fear of ending up with a ‘cap in mah ass’. He is undoubtedly the most maniacal looking rapper in existence. Anyhow, P.I.M.P. is an above-average affair from another recent Shady records signing (see Obie Trice for some slightly less scary Gangsta rap). Taken from the much-heralded album which, if you like this sort of thing, you should already own; but the real reason for buying the single however is the included video, complete with highly amusing intro and cut-scenes, featuring a board meeting of pimps, complete with lots of ice, perms and a golden stick.
