The Hughes brothers' '00 documentary took an unflinching, often amusing look at the street sales/general management end of the World's Oldest Profession. Its soundtrack was fat with old-school pimp-soul grooves, quickly becoming a mixer's delight and rich source for samples -- even if it didn't initially receive an official release. This collection addresses that oversight with a street-smart vengeance, culling together an eclectic, libido-lubed menage a soul that spans the punk-funk of Rick James and the erstwhile jazz of George Duke, and dotted with superstars (Curtis Mayfield, Isaac Hayes, Marvin Gaye, WAR) and lesser-known charters (Leon Haywood, Faze-O, Slave) whose contributions are intermixed with colorful comments from the film's most memorable, er, entrepreneurs. A bonus DVD contains 70 minutes of raw, mostly unedited interviews and outtakes with eight of the film's subjects, including an insightful, newly rediscovered reel of comments by Snoop Dogg once thought lost. --Jerry McCulley
