...Cambodia is hardly alone. Take a stroll into the Sunee Plaza in Pattaya, Thailand, or through Manila's Rajah Sulayman Park, and it's impossible not to notice girls as young as eight painted up like Barbie dolls and openly selling themselves. "Chicks, you want chicks?" asks a pimp in Manila, with a swagger that suggests he has nothing to fear from...
Nellyville (Nelly's ever-so-humble nickname for St. Louis, Mo.) provides little reason to think its creator is up to any more than that. Songs like Pimp Juice aren't about pimping; they just invoke the trope because, sadly, that's how lazy mainstream rap has got in 2002.

Sometimes, a closer look at our political and business leaders, our pop culture...
...baritone to give life to a character who is desire incarnate. Strutting, preening, cajoling, even begging, he radiates charisma, as well as a sad sort of desperation that the character is unaware he possesses. A lesser actor might be inclined to soften the character and play him as a pimp with a heart of gold. Gray, though, avoids all of the character’s traps, forging ahead with a portrayal that embraces greed in such a visceral sense that one cannot help but embrace him and eagerly follow wherever he leads...
