Bad news for ya my friend,

Pimp became popular about 10 years ago, you've been livin' in the dark ages longer than you thought.

I'll search my pop culture computer in my head and say the the earliest most popular and widest-spread (Though all races and regions) would be Ice Cube's "Today Was a Good Day." In which he emphatically expresses the the Goodyear blimp clearly states "Ice Cube's a Pimp!"

It's slightly a misogynist term, but again, refers to anyone with Bling-Bling (Victorian-era superficial physical monetary expressions, reborn) or anyone who has style enough to get a decent amount of "Hoes" into the sack on a weekend.

I'd be a pimp if I could get my cash-money to work out better and didn't spend it on food, rent and college loans. Damn the real world, I think I'll stick in the Elysian Fields of Rap music....
