Salute to Georgeous Dre for alot of great wisdom he gives out,this is a good lesson.I don't know if this criticism about pimping is fair to Tariq. The man was more than likely was just an admirerer of pimp culture like many of us young black males who grew up in certain envioronments. And even young males who didn't grow up in those enviornments can become fascinated by the physcology of it. Too Short rapped about pimping,but wasn't actually a pimp,would you say he is pimping his fans?using it in a negative sense like you all do with Tariq? Whats wrong with using game you may have learned from pimps in business?Ice-T said himself he does the same thing. The question you have to ask would be about sincerity. I haven't seen Tariq using pimp tactics to control his fans,or to sell them something that never came. He is selling a different brand of game now,as well as Hidden Colors movies. What some of you fail to realize is there is a certain form of "pimping" that you need when dealing with our people. Pimps make great leaders for a reason because they possess skills,and the ability to sell,and have a way with words. Sadly many people who may be better suited as leaders don't naturally possess these skills. The skills that righteous and pure people who aspire to be leaders,are too stupid to realize they need to possess if they want to get through to and reach our people at large.
