This documentary examines the legendary life of Iceberg Slim (1918 –1992), notorious pimp and author of seven ground-breaking books.  Insightful interviews from Ice T, Quincy Jones, Chris Rock, Snoop Dogg (aka Snoop Lion), Katt Williams, Don "Magic" Juan, Henry Rollins, Baby and Slim (Cash Money) as well as other artists, scholars, friends and family members combined with old photos, artifacts and archival footage create a riveting tapestry as colorful as the subject himself.  The film chronicles how Iceberg’s troubled childhood contributed to a life of crime on the streets.  As the painful story unfolds, Iceberg Slim reinvents himself and his transformation from a pimp of 25-plus years to author makes him an inspiration to many well-known and respected artists.
