Pimping in the 70's narrated by Bishop Don Magic Juan : Part 1 

Culturally, this is priceless, unfiltered footage of urban 1970’s hustlers. One hundred million dollars of Hollywood production money couldn’t come close to capturing the the grit and authenticity of the era seen here. Bishop Don Magic Juan was more a chronicler than a pimp. No different than William Randolph Hearst. A visionary. Earl M. Washington, Detroit artist. Born 1962.

These dudes had Rolls-Royce back money was unheard of for a black man to own one of those. Also Peep the fact they had camcorders before regular people even knew anything about that this was back in the 70s! Space age pimpin!

I remember growing up on the westside. We would be on our way to church. We would see Don Juan on Laramie ave.

I won that one, "MY COLLAR WAS 30 INCHES LONG JACK"🤣🤣REAL PIMPIN !!!!

“The steerin wheel was on the right side, JACK!!!!” 🤣🤣🤣

“Green for the money, gold for the honey!” Tabernacle

Can't never let this footage get lost

you know you did it right when rolls royce wants to buy back your car because you tricked it out too hard.

Someone please preserve this video forever, priceless history.

“Church” Cadillac was a fool shooting that gun in the air “jack” 😂😂

I was at a FUNERAL RECEPTION and watched this man hand my older cousin his business card🤣🤣(the funeral was for my god father’s father who was a close friend of magic’s)

Pimpin aint Dead Jack!!!!....It's on Craig List!

Damn the 70s look like a cool era. The cars, clothes, and music 💯

That’s when Pimping was Pimping at it’s Finest

Man the music of this time was the icing on the cake jack! ...man I wanted to down and around in this era

REAL OLD SCHOOL PIMPIN!!! LIVE.

My niece just asked me if this show is about the circus when she saw the pink and green cars next to each other. lol.

yes sir!!! I was there and still here..chuuuch

Nostalgia is what Don is. A conversation peace that is highly eye catching and has a direct line to certain types of peoples tacky dreams so to say.......To each his own and in Don Juan's case one man's trash is another man's treasure.

If I had a time machine I'd go straight to the 70s! 30 inch collars!!!!!

What a time to be alive. I would have loved to been around in them days!

Maaaaayne, these guys look like legends and also look like the best ppl to listen to their stories! Such crazy style! I was thinking and first up couldnt remember that guys would wear platform shoes/boots at all; but these Pimps carry it off well. then i pictured a couple of certain 1980's rockstars - around the time that Rock n Roll went for image over sound (1980's), goes to show that these slick Pimps had the o.g. idea. I dont know why i would think it'd be any other way. Hope you're all well n good and thanks for putting this video up. Mad respect an much love from Notts, UK.

When I was a kid my parents called pimps a "dandy man"

Gosh Damn this was cold jack! I'm from that Era, never pimped, but this made you want to dip your toes in the water jack! Preach! Tabernacle!

Yo...Cadillac needed to put the damn gun away JACK! He was on one!! 😂😂

Lol i showed my dad this he knew all of them West Side baby in the early 70s told me about c-mo and all of them

Love love love that tune...Happy memories..70's had the best vibe..!!!

If Fate has dealt you the hand of a pimp, then by all means, play the hand you were dealt. Play your hand with all the skill and finesse........... play your hand like there were millions on the table........ play your hand so well that all the players---past and present will have to pause and say, "Here is a master PLAYA"

Cadillac straight up had a purse 😂😂

Priceless footage

My cousin Preacher had the purple Oldsmobile with blood red interior with thick whitewall, spoke rims, tv intena, phone with swede. I think it was a 73-75 model. After he was killed, my aunt went up north and brought it back to NC where she kept it for many years.

Brilliant style. Thanks for the video.

This is real. We wouldn't be the hustles we are now if it wasn't from them. I remember......✌

Much respect to the game and the Vanguard of hustlin...

Clarence is 75 years old n lives in Oshkosh, Wi.. Weird how a stranger knows that :) cuz hes for real,but they know you,I also live in Oshkosh but maan,maan, this is some cold cold ass footage,this is as real as it gets...
