Pimpology: The 48 Laws of the Game

Star of the HBO documentaries Pimps Up, Ho’s Down and American Pimp, Annual Players’ Ball "Mack of the Year" winner Ken Ivy reveals the unwritten rules that took him from the ghetto streets to the executive suites.

The names change, but the game remains the same. In Pimpology, Ken Ivy pulls a square’s coat on the unwritten rules that took him from the ghetto streets to the executive suites. Ken’s lessons will serve any person in any interaction: Whether at work, in relationships, or among friends, somebody’s got to be on top. To be the one with the upper hand, you’ve got to have good game, and good game starts with knowing the rules.

If you want the money, power, and respect you dream of, you can’t just "pimp your ride," you need to pimp your whole life. And unless you’ve seen Ray Charles leading Stevie Wonder somewhere, you need Ken’s guidelines to do it. They’ll reach out and touch you like AT&T and bring good things to life like GE. Then you can be the boss with the hot sauce who gets it all like Monty Hall.
