Beneath the Underdog by Erroll McDonald, Charles Mingus
1.0
Phew! Not really about the music was it? Some of the (dated) hep-speak was nice (daddyo) and the erotica was occasionally mildly arousing,
Special mention must be made of Billy the Pimp - deserving of his own title; surely one of the most disgusting characters in (presumably) fiction. He who gets his "old lady" to eat horse shit, to prove she would do anything for him! He who urinates all over a school teacher (and who luckily happens to have a donkey penis in his bag - don't we all?) Billy the Pimp deserves a series (played by Dave Chappelle?)
But really who would write this? Who would brag that much about their fuckability? - was mingus (shock) impotant? Is that too obvious?
Also the pimp stuff, I have never understood the pimp fantasy (so beloved of GangstaPlayarappas - tho' I liked Iceburg Slim's "Pimp" that was as far as I wanted to go on the subject) here Mingus (and Bird and Diz) are surrounded by women just itching to go on the game - Mingus "turns them out" then loses his respect for them (hmm, I wonder why?)
Maybe I'm just not a total misogynist - I understand NWA's plea
"Fuck flipping burgers
I want a 9-5 that I can be proud of
I can speak loud of"
But I would ALWAYS choose burger-flipping to making women fuck for money (my money)!
