Pimpin' (song)

"Pimpin'" is a song by American rapper Tony Yayo, included as a track on his debut studio album Thoughts of a Predicate Felon (2005).

[3] Lyrically, the song describes Yayo's desire to legally pimp women and treat them with a luxurious lifestyle, and refers to how other men simply chase their pleasures.

[4] The lyrics are backed by a "bouncy" production[5] which, according to The Michigan Daily writer Ewan McGarvey, consists of "tiny digital-guitar frets".

Allmusic writer David Jeffries named "Pimpin'" as one of the album's best songs, along with "So Seductive", "Drama Setter" and "Dear Suzie".

[7] Pedro Hernandez of RapReviews commended the song's "bouncy production", but criticized its concept as "unoriginal", and for this reason called it a "track that only Yayo fans will appreciate".

[5] While commenting positively on more intense and "brutal" songs such as "Homicide", Ross McGowan of Stylus Magazine criticized the tempo of "Pimpin'", calling it "bland", and felt that the song's music video was the only thing making it interesting to listen to, writing that "it's way less fun to hear when it isn't accompanied by continuous footage of G-Unit's main men wrestling each other for face time".
