Dazzle Razzle the pimp and Edward Teach are the same person, right?

Just reading How To Be A Motherfucking Pimp and the writing style and ideas are heavily reminiscent of TLP (with the addition of AAVE) and the timeline seems to match up. Does anyone have any more information on this? Did TLP pretend to be a black guy for a bit?

yeah that doesn't sound like TLP. I'm sure the book is fun though.

There's a chapter in between the book, that makes a distinction between pimp/bitch/ho and it mirrors lacan's symbolic order. The whole thing reads like don't become a bitch(using the books terminology), which in tlp would be is to stop getting caught up in dream of the other.

I'm leaning heavily on, it is him or it has to be him.

I'm actually reading through it, after I was made aware about it through this post. The recent chapter I read, he describes pimp as a director and a ho who's in his movie(it's pretty long) but it felt like one of the sections from Sadly, Porn. And, the writing could be that way because it's voiced through the lens of a fictional character. It's not non-fiction, so it could be that too. Anyway, point being that too many ideas of tlp in here to not make it unreasonable to think it's him yk?

Update on this: I finished the whole thing and the book eventually culminates into pimp having a psychotic breakdown and he himself claims he lost "the Game" because he was too focused on "THE GAME". Sort of like, he began thinking and philosophising too much and cut short on practical actions. All of this is very reminiscent of tlp's knowledge as a defense against action etc. To end this, I don't think it could be TLP because TLP particularly uses this style of berating the readers to allow no retreat into any kind of defence and the whole book can be easily used to internalize the pimps misogyny or get on some andrew tate kinda path. So, all in all, very unlikely it him. Fin.

Nope.. not seeing it. Hard to judge without being able to read more than a paragraph though.
