Currently reading this. Basically his mom ruined him for life starting at a young age, destroyed any semblance of a family to chase after dangerous dudes. Man grows up with deep hatred to punish women and manipulates them for his stable of hoes, furthering the cycle of ruined families.

You need to read the book "Pimp" by Iceberg Slim.

>Add to that the fact that he's a gangsta rapper and named himself after a delicious summertime beverage.
Fun Fact: Street-names that contain 'Ice' pay homage to the original macdaddy pimp, Iceberg Slim -- a reformed pimp-turned-writer who authored his most famous book in prison, PIMP: The Story of My Life
The most read book in the history of black American culture. I am certainly not kidding. Now that urban redditors know, they will notice it in people's hands on the subway/street.

That is the most read book in the ghetto in history. Sales schmales... every copy has been read until it resembles a wad of crumpled toilet paper.
Passed from generation to generation.
Ice T recently made a film about Iceberg Slim. It was seen by and discussed by the bulk of black American folks, and written/talked about in every single black American news or culture media outlet.
Not one other US mass media outlet has mentioned it. >EDIT. I retract that sentence.<
It was specifically marketed to black people ONLY.

99% of white people will go to the grave without ever hearing of Iceberg Slim. Every, and I mean every single solitary person in the black ghetto ,over the age of 12, knows exactly who Iceberg Slim was, and have seen his books being passed around or read. There's no escaping the influence of Iceberg Slim on modern urban black culture.
White, Asian, and Hispanic folks have never heard of him, and most never will.
Every rapper who is black that has Ice in their name is paying respect to their Pimp hero Iceberg. Fact.
Ebony, the black US Time Magazine shoe in, applauds wildly!

How glorifying!
I can't imagine any other kind of US main stream media holding a rapist pimp heroin dealer up into being a hero of the black community.
His books are cheap as fuck to buy used, so have at it folks! Actually learn and see what kind of culture we are talking about.
I, old white dude, have read all of his books, due to my twisted sense of curiosity. Weird, huh?
Edit for serious clarity:
More black Americans have read PIMP, than have read the Bible. I will confidently stand by that assertion.
On a side note, if you're interested in this form of writing, there's an autobiography of a pimp - Iceberg Slim - that's almost impossible to read (I have to google every other phrase). Terribly interesting, though.
Aint happen to me. Jus an example.
If u wanna learn more read this book: https://www.amazon.com/Pimp-Story-Life-Iceberg-Slim/dp/1451617135
First of all, I would like to state that before mentioning my additions that books should be thought of like classes in college. Yes, you need the basic knowledge to go do what you're going to do, but you also need to get off your ass and apply it.
Without further ado, here are my recommendations in addition to what was mentioned.
Pimp by Iceberg Slim (Robert Beck). It's a nice introduction to the psychology of gaming women on top of an interesting exploration of race, gender and intersectionality. It's smarter than it's rep.
The Mystery Method by Mystery (Erik von Markovik). It's not a great book, but it gives you immediate actionable steps to apply immediately. Then, once you read the theory and get experience, you can apply what you learned.
The Red Queen by Matt Ridley. This should be read with the next book to up your fundamentals in evo-psych.
Sex at Dawn by Christopher Ryan. Written as a critique of the first book, these two will give you some deeper theory of evo-psych.
The book Pimp by Iceberg Slim should of had this for the definition page.
>The only piece of shit who should be ashamed the guy narrating. What kind of empty, soulless, cruel person would attempt to humiliate women who are already in the direst of circumstances.
I'm not sure if you've had the privilege to live in such a shitty place. However, I assure you, these women for the most part, are there of their own free will and accord. With the exception of the women being trafficked. However, those women are typically kept under lock and key. I know, it sounds blunt and cruel, however in my experience, having cousins themselves as street walkers, are lucid of their actions.
>It’s not funny at all to laugh at the cruelty of this sociopath.
You probably aren't aware, that this may be the pimp or a local pimp observing his surroundings through a pimp's perspective. Pimps are sociopaths, they don't give a shit about anyone's opinion. It is their business to profiteer off of willing women. They are inherently sociopaths.
> I’ve never read the accounts of women on the street who were happy being treated worse than garbage, being used, being a mans blowup doll with as much respect given to one, and being battered and abused.
You should REALLY read or listen to
Pimp: The Story of My Life>Shame on this garbage for amusing himself over such misery. I’m so disgusted at the absolute depravity and soullessness of some people. Who the fuck is he to judge these women? He’s a nothing and a nobody sociopath, so fuck the fuck outta here!
We all live in a dimension of our own creation. It will exist even if you don't approve of it. Unfortunate truth.
