Description of Lil' Pimp:
Lil' Pimp is the kind of feature-length cartoon that gives Bill Cosby nightmares while gathering a cult following in the hip-hop community. It's the kind of crude, outrageous, and utterly tasteless entertainment that makes conservatives cringe and liberals reconsider the right to free speech. It also happens to be subversively funny enough to qualify as a guilty pleasure, if you can gear into the sheer kitsch of its animated story, in which an innocent, small-town white kid helps a hooker-in-distress (voice of Lil' Kim), hooks up with her pimp (Bernie Mac), learns the rules of pimpin' ("A pimp must possess style, must defend his turf, and has gotta turn out a square lady"), and foils the plot of a corrupt mayor (William Shatner, having fun while slummin' it) who wants to monopolize the pimpin' game. If it had the irreverent intelligence of South Park, this in-yo'-face adult cartoon might've been an urban classic. Instead it's just a juvenile romp with impressive hip-hop street-cred, not to mention fart jokes, lots of booty-licious ho's, a foul-mouthed ferret (Ludacris), and an incorruptible hero who makes Huggy Bear look like a rank amateur. It's no surprise this went straight-to-video, but it's guaranteed to get some props by its obvious target audience. --Jeff Shannon
Lil' Pimp Reviews:
Came Quick 
2009-08-20 - Sorry for the delay - I'm out of town at this time and I reviewed this last night but I must have forgotten to submit. The CD was in excellent condition and arrived in a timely manner.
Thanks,
Lorine
Funny and Fun to watch! 
2009-04-08 - If you are a Bernie Mac fan as I am, you will love this one. His voice is so recognizable! The plot is absolutely stupid but I think that it draws its strength from it. Don't take it too seriously, just watch with an open mind and trust me you will love it...Bravo! RIP B-MAC
Love It 
2007-11-09 - I love this film. I thought that it was real funny. I was told to watch this when I was stationed in Korea it started and I thought that this was going to be cheesy but it got good. If you dont like racist comments or bad language this is not the movie for you. NOT FOR KIDS.
Lil' Pimp 
2007-01-29 - I truly enjoyed this movie, it was soo funny. I the quality of the disk that I received and the speed in which I received my order was awesome.
I admit I thought this was good. 
2006-01-26 - I surprised myself with this. A friend and I watched this last night and we were in hysterics. It's crude, sure. It's gross at times, sure. But I guess small things for small minds (me) and I actually liked this. I love all things Bernie Mac. He's great, and I didn't think I could go wrong with Bernie and animation. The ferret (Ludacris) was hillarious and in fact everyone did a great job. This isn't for everyone. I think you need to let go of your defences watching it, and whether you admit it or not, you will probably like it. It's good escapism with lots of potty jokes, but put that aside and just enjoy the ride.
