I met Slim when he came to Modesto.. He was a kool man ..he was very handsome when he was Younger .. he fell in love with the singer Etta James they dated back in their day....
Damn !!! 9000 hos .. 100 players ball awards .. 9 musical albums with multiple world tours .. Talk about the muffakin pimp of the century 😂😂😂 #Legendary #FillmoreSlim #WestCoastKing !!!
I was with Slim back in the day for years, I had the Honor to met his Mother Idola Sims in Baton Rouge. I will always Love and Respect him. We still kick it ... he's on the West Coast I'm in Detroit... Thank You for this video and the memories
Then you remember all of use hanging out at Bakers Lounge, on Livernois Ave. and couple bar's on Harvard and Three mile. The Jazz bars we went to, and going to the Players Ball. Roxy bar. Moon's after hour. Good old days. Oh your girl Kelly.
the slimster slim- what did he teach u, how to USE and demean. disrespect. degrade, the Black Women. ....yea, great man...NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!..........smfh
@oneconcerned, there wasn’t a positive message to American Gangster. It was a biopic of Frank Lucas who was one of the biggest heroin dealers of all time. He also set up his operation to try and be like the Italians. He wanted to be a black Don. American Gangster was released two months before The Great Debaters meaning that AG was on its out way of the box office by the time the next movie was released. American Gangster made $266M at the box office. It was a blockbuster film. The Great Debaters did $30M. It was never meant to be blockbuster. At most it was meant to be a low budget movie that made you feel good. It was also released in late December as “Oscar bait.” Leave the conspiracies alone.
lol you know every Mexican has a black ancestor right.? Mexicans are practically black that's why a lot of them considered himself afro-mexican or dark why do you think they have dark brown skin huh.? They were really native and white their skin will be a lot lighter and they will look. They would look Caucasian don't have you seen a native mixed with white .? They call it something you will see what I mean with you do if you have seen me one
@@marineboy4181 They have darkish brown skin because a lot of Mexicans are related to Native Americans. Why do you think they they have straight black hair? Saying every Mexican(or even a majority) have black ancestors is plain wrong.
He came to a lounge in Redwood City, Ca. My friend was there, he made a beeline to her and sat down and started macking, lol 😂 she left with his book then gave it to me (she doesn’t read) but it was written in his own language, I didn’t have the patience
Had to like this captured in all the dazzling facts I’ve heard along the ongoing (long live Slim!) story. I was captivated by the famous author of PIMP and marveled at the flash/faire and relationships with females all-the-way to Fillmore Slim, the great musician. I was in some of you all’s comments too lol
Tamales are soul food in Louisiana. We were Spanish, French, and then English mixed with the Africans and Indigenous Peoples. Never saw a Hispanic for the first 10 years of my life, eating tamales all the time.
If he was even a decent actor. But.... he's not. He's terrible. He acts worse than he raps these days. And his music right now is GARBAGE. Trash. Shit. Worthless
Wow I heard of him 9000 women in the game for over 30 years now retired out the game and a awarded blues career this guy lived his dreams talk about longevity of life and his success stories he seems like he did not beat his ladies and keep them drugged up it's why he had so many ladies probably let them keep enough of their money to build themselves a life interesting man
I remember that dude at a B.B.King & James Brown show!! I meet him personally and Ray Charles on the same show in The late 80's when I was little!! Backstage
I saw this article’s description went down memory lane. Yes I bet Slim from the days I worked in courts in SF knew some of his ladies and see him. Playing the Blues still. A club over by Lake Merritt, Oakland 70 birthday at that Club. He still have that beat with his Guitar. Glad see him well an Original Gangster that was with my era still kicking well so am I Slim hope to get you player soon after all this madness so we can laugh old days is Tommy Shaw still Living .
They say this man was soooo bad, that when the Zodiac Killer realized that he touched one of Fillmore's girls, he stopped killing and went into hiding.
The Mack Daddy of them all. Never was and never will be another.. immitations need not apply.. by the way Snoop I think would be the perfect one to play MR. SLIM ..
TWO THUMBS UP, GAME RELATED CONTENT, VIDEO RECOMMENDED FOR LIKE MINDED INDIVIDUALS. One Love Fillmore Slim, from your homie OG Reggie B. another Fillmore legend. Game Related 4life. Peace Baby!
This is a very well put together documentary 👏 however the movie-bio is destined to be a blockbuster but should be an independent film with no boundaries or restrictions to Hollywood Snoop is perfect for the role. Netflix should be all over it $$. Keep the narrator she is definitely the one!
My man Fillmore STILL IS the coolest person you can meet. STILL playing the blue's TODAY.
he ain't a blues player tho 👁️
I met Slim when he came to Modesto.. He was a kool man ..he was very handsome when he was Younger .. he fell in love with the singer Etta James they dated back in their day....
Etta James and Slim? dope couple he had good taste
Typical "Christian", God fearing, Jew Worshipping Hypocrite, GTFO here.
Wow
Not many people are here
and Fillmore Slim is still going strong.

What about the Tenderloin Turk St
You ready to come outta retirement for a real one?
@@thirdeyebetting3367 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You used to be one of Fillmore Slim girls
I'd like to know his secret for having lived so long.
He is really a down to earth dude. Hung out with him last year on the Blues Cruise.
This documentary was well written and displayed!!!
Just attended Fillmore Slimes 89th birthday celebration last night… Iconic he’s truly a San Francisco Legend ❤
I've met him a few times in the bay area. Mostly at blues gigs. It was always a pleasure
They need to make movie about him. Snoop Dogg would be the right person to play him.
Facts!
Knowing Slim like I do Snoop wouldn't do him justice.
This could definitely be a movie and the narrators voice is so captivating great job
Until somebody explained it like this, I just assumed he chose the game, but nawh, the game chose him.
I was with Slim back in the day for years, I had the Honor to met his Mother Idola Sims in Baton Rouge. I will always Love and Respect him. We still kick it ... he's on the West Coast I'm in Detroit... Thank You for this video and the memories
Ooh! really.

I don't believe in being a pimp, but he had a work ethic! Talented. I am in no position to judge. Bless him.
@Terrill Elliott That's ridiculous. You do have a right to judge sin!

Of the great players and pimps.
I love these YesterYears type stories...
Fillmore Slim you kept it real. That is why God Bless you. 👍
He came to a lounge in Redwood City, Ca. My friend was there, he made a beeline to her and sat down and started macking, lol 😂 she left with his book then gave it to me (she doesn’t read) but it was written in his own language, I didn’t have the patience
A very informative + to the point documentary.
Wise man. Made d money and left the game

They should make a movie about this man’s life.
WHY?!
@@MickyTubbs1985 yes
Snoop Dogg played him in King Of The Hill. They changed his name to “Alabaster Slim”.
That was Jones! Not slim!
I saw that episode.
Gottdayyyum an african american man selling tamales.....ohh that right there is much respect straight hustler.
He was selling southern tamales they are beef chili they pronounce em “tah-mah-lees “ in Mississippi
@@de5163 didn't know that thanks
Lol!!! Everybody that sale tamales where im from are black🤷😆
Tamales are soul food in Louisiana. We were Spanish, French, and then English mixed with the Africans and Indigenous Peoples. Never saw a Hispanic for the first 10 years of my life, eating tamales all the time.
Rey
Damn, we got to get our game back like those 1950s to 1970s Ninjas.
Well documented been knowing Fillmore slim since I was 5yrs old he's still going strong
Snoop would be the perfect guy to play slim ,
If snoop brought back perm
I think Lakeith Stanfield would be perfect
If he was even a decent actor. But.... he's not. He's terrible. He acts worse than he raps these days. And his music right now is GARBAGE. Trash. Shit. Worthless
snoop is wayyyy too tall!
@@jayschaufele7685 that's because snoop got LAZY! I remember back when he made REALLY GOOD rap music.
Fillmore Slim's new song is called Dedicated To Johnny Guitar Watson.
The brother has surpassed the title of pimp long time ago. This Mack status baby. The greatest in the game.
Really sat here high asf and watched the whole thing awesome documentary 🔥
6:55 "sat the guitar down" (with visual 😂😂😂) I love it
I played a gig with this guy when I was 19, super cool motherfucker!
Sounds like a great guy, just a little pimping. He never hurt nobody.
You right on that
About a billion hookers across the planet would disagree with you.
Ummhmm right just alittle bit 😄😄😄😄wow
Simply dont use violence against them (my theory) treat them like human beings as opposed to chattel (property) I'm told that madams are worse.
Danny Thompson I don’t understand why we feel bad for a girl that chooses to sell her pussy for cash like what ?
Very well done, with the stills and historic film footage and the “re-enactments. Well written and narrated!🙏🏿☝🏾❤️🌅
What a story! Street life u can change what ever the reason for the better 😘🎸 yesss
What a life he has lived..
Wow I heard of him 9000 women in the game for over 30 years now retired out the game and a awarded blues career this guy lived his dreams talk about longevity of life and his success stories he seems like he did not beat his ladies and keep them drugged up it's why he had so many ladies probably let them keep enough of their money to build themselves a life interesting man
Some them he put through school, and many had kids, some just loved the game, the flare, excitement, the fast talking, watching them work the magic.
Yep!!!
I remember him in American Pimp when he said he didn't let them keep their money
Keep doing your thang homegirl ! These are dope, accurate and well done!
Got nothing but respect for the Man
I never knew he lost a daughter that’s hurtful Fareal
Louisiana breeds some of the most inspirational ,bad ass,and talented black folks of all. Sports, music, and gangsters
Yes indeed Shreveport/Bossier #yaheardme
What an interesting Person and Life Story.
Much Respect...
This man is amazing. He done been through it all in the pimp game.

True
Zodiak actually killed one of his girls.
🤔 Interesting to Know!!

The Godfather Gentleman of Leisure
I'm a San Franciscan, he's my birthday buddy, would see him around a lot in the early 2010's.
Definitely need a biopic on him
The Godfather. This man is the epitome of game.
The Mack Daddy of them all. Never was and never will be another.. immitations need not apply.. by the way Snoop I think would be the perfect one to play MR. SLIM ..
Nick Cannon Looks just Like him
You did a GREAT job, thanks 🙏🏾
Fillmore Slim is a talented brotha that has a passion for music 🎶
"He heard about California"
And a legend was born. Big up Slim🌹
Pimped us out straight off the plantation.
Fillmore was a stand up type of man.
Your voice is so calming 😌
I meet him when I live in San Francisco at a store on Turk Street in San Francisco back in 1983..
Man, old school San Francisco is so dope. the perfect setting for a movie imo.
Reminds me of the movie 'THE MACK'
Sound like sue was the pimp fr
Is he Nick Cannon's granddaddy, or am I the only one that sees a resemblance?
I know I was waiting for her to say that in the video🤣
Same here
Met him at my uncle Nuell Nelson Funeral in 2010 he was a cool chill guy had alot of stories of him and my uncle who was also a pimp r.i.p
Filmore is still handsome tdy.
This guy was the original Godfather of the pimp game who did it well whos been there and done that.he didn't have to beat any of his women.
You mean Esau ! .
Very Well Written and Spoken Documentary 🤎
Good Work 👍 Filmore Slim🏆
Shits amazing!!!😳.. what a life what a story💯.. can’t imagine the shit he seen and won’t talk about. Crazy man. 💯🤙🏼
I met slim around 6 years ago in Fresno he was driving a pickup truck with some woman I bought one of his cassette tape
