The song was massive when it hit but few know the backstory. Pimpzilla was actually a singer named Oedipus Claudius King from Huntsville, Alabama. He was a moderately successful R&B singer, who did the "chitlin' circuit" in the late '50's with a band called Diddly & The Spankers. Around 1964, he went solo and did a few regional hits, mostly in the South, but in 1967 he had a national Top 100 hit called, "Busted, Black and Beggin' Dat Bitch Agin'". He sued the record company, Schlepping Records, Athens, GA, because he claimed he wasn't given his royalties. It dragged out for years. Finally, in the early 70's he received a pay-out, but during the litigation he was not allowed to record. However, in 1976, he re-emerged with the song, "Pimpzilla", which was the story of his years of fighting Schlepping Records for his money. The song was also credited with being the first "OG" song and inspired the gangsta fashion scene. King released a few more songs, like, "Bitch Be Gone (Youse Got A Stinkin' Ass!)", "Brothers Gotta Hump That Thang", and a disco hit that incidentally became a hit in France and Germany, called "Long Dick Ding Dong Vs. Big Donkey Dick Kong". The last song was also used in the martial arts action movie, "Streetfighter 8: Big Mama Ho's House Of The Dragon Queens". Disenchanted with the recording industry, King left the music business around 1981, and studied Buddhism for several years. He also was a memberof a semi-religious order in Golden Hills, CA , called "The Ramalamadongs" in the '80's. Today, he writes and paints, but leads a very private and secluded life and rarely appears in public. "I just wants to live ma life alone now, away from all that bullshit anymore. Don't contact me no mo'. Dig it?", he tweeted on Instagram in 2021 when contacted by the fan magazine, "Soul In Da Hole". I still love this OG original!
Dave (bass) and I (drums) put down our tracks on this one on a Tuesday night. Engineering really brought Dave's work to the musical front here and the mix really turned out proper. What a party that night turned out to be!
PimpZ was entirely responsible for the stock market crash of 2008, A couple I met at the time on holiday in Turkey lost a fortune on their wallpaper shops. (Midlands) True.
the fact that Pimpzilla Attacks Harlem! wasn't ever a real C-list spoof movie from the 70's is kinda surprising, seems like such an easy and funny idea
I remember when pimpzilla put my girl to work on the streets, i tried to confront him about it, and he kicked my house down!
😂
😂😂😂😂
That Pimpzilla’s one bad mother… shut yo mouth!!!!
@anti-anything afterwards I said to my girl "come home baby". She said "what home?" And left me
@@donwonnie7913 😢
The AI graphics alone are worth the price of admission.
I’d love a Pimpzilla T-Shirt
@@anti-anything same
Genuinely id frame these posters in my office
I need one with the Japanese jazz accountants logo lmao
the sound and pics are a story for itself. perfect crossover perfect beat
Damn, '76... who's still listening in 2024?
I need my money 💰
I love the classics!
This gave me my will to live for this month thanks pimpzilla
❤️❤️❤️ I'll make more! 😁
Cheers!🍻

I still love this OG original!
Oh you went full
tumblr and I’m all for it
Of course, knowing what we now know about the lead singer of Diddly and the spankers, it's highly likely he was one of P. Diddlys early victims 😔
Pimpzilla is my spirit animal
The real star is the guy who told AI to make a Godzilla Pimp song. Bravo my friend.
This brings so much perspective to every Godzilla attack ever. Tokyo's gotta pay up.
Omg this channel is the best application of AI out of everything 😂 I think of it every time I eat a ham and cheese sandwich, which is often 😆
Pimpzilla vs King Dong was my favorite. Truly a gem of 70's blacksploitation movies.
My neighbor: How many times have you listened to this
Me: Yes
😂😂 ❤️!
Hate to admit it but this goes unbelievably hard
This is what AI was made for.
Pimpzilla Is my new favorite character, this needs to be a saga
I want to grow up and be just like Pimpzilla.
You're better looking. Try harder.
*Wall Street expired like a squirrel hits a tire*
Shit goes hard!
OK, This is the best song you've ever made, and I respect the reference to Godzilla vs Wall Street from the SNES Game.
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks! Cheers 🍻
Can't wait for him fight Kingpin Kong soon.
my friend said "pimpzilla x kingpin kong: the new criminal empire"
This is RIDICULOUS... 😂😂😂, I'd watch and buy the soundtrack!❤️🔥
Proof that sometimes the algorithm knows me better than I know myself
Same. How it knew I'll never know. This is some genius-level shit.
I need a Pimpzilla shirt! One with the biggest afro imaginable!
Yes, please! Pimpzilla merch when?
This song is unironically 🔥🔥🔥 10/10 would put on repeat.
❤️❤️❤️!
Fantastic. I hope at some point we get to hear the theme tune from Pinpzilla vs King Dong because that's my favourite of the trilogy.
This might be the greatest song of the year!!!
All of those vinyl covers would make great tshirts and I would buy all of them 👌
Pimpzilla uses Chuck Norris as a toothpick.
We need more pimpzilla edits out there he needs to be canon
That pimpzilla is one bad motha-
open yo mouth 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I have never clicked on a TH-cam video so fast 😂 best thumbnail ever
Same
2:13 Japanese Jazz Accountants is who I credit for this song personally
spit out my sandwich cuz of you !🤣🤣🤣
This is what we needed AI for.
Pimpzilla...this needs a trilogy. Next episode is versus Mechapimpzilla.
❤️😂 ❤️❤️
Idk how I ended up here but I’m so glad 😂
I can't even be mad at AI anymore
I legitimately cannot stop listening to this
This is amazing.
I remember when this dropped back in the day. Every lizardman pimp on the block who heard it got all fired up and tried to stomp on the city...
Wall Street mid-70's Pimpzilla was THE Kaiju.
Now I want to see a fighter with the nickname "Pimpzilla", because they would have the perfect walk-out theme.
1.25x goes hard af
"Wall Street expired like a squirrel hits a tire", WTF, that's fire.
The ham-and-cheese is now canon.
HEeeee`s pimpZILLAAhh, and he wants his muthafqn money
That`s deep bro ❤
Listen at 1.5X speed. You’re welcome
YOOOOOOOOOO
oh my...so right! Thanks, mang!
👑
You dropped this.
Great advice.
Much appreciation for your coolness in sharing that tip.
*fistbump*
Those are the tightest fros I’ve ever seen.
1:31 “Wall Street expired like a Squirrel hits a Tire!”
God Damn, that’s a bar!
All I know is Pimpzilla’s Afro is on point!
This is so 70's it hurts... Those Pimpzilla Sandwiches look good though
Gold star imagery
can't wait for that sequel... Pimpzilla vs Mecha-Pimpzilla! the dope-est shit
I really want these vinyls now
I didn't know how long I've been waiting for this till today. Thank you
❤️❤️❤️!!
Pay him what he's owed
Wall Street been real quiet since this dropped.
Yeah? He levelled it.
This changed my life.
We need a pimpzilla movie with Samuel Jackson voicing pimpzilla
"Call the coast guard..." damn...reptile really do want his money.
Pimp’in ain’t damageless
Pimp hand and tail coming through, looking forward to that sequel...
Youre absolutely killing it. Laughing my ass off out here. 😂
this is an instant classic! holy shit, Never in my life have I needed something so much, and never known until I received it.
Imagine if society was destroyed and this was the only thing that was preserved
This is a trip and a half.
PIMPZILLA has a special place in my heart 😂
I don't know why this popped up.
But I fuckin love it.
This is that late-night shit
Blasted this outside for the neighbors
Holy fukc this is to damn good dude!!!
pimpzilla vs ho-dan
....versus Lo Pan?
i'm low key angry with how much i love both the art and the song.
Dave (bass) and I (drums) put down our tracks on this one on a Tuesday night. Engineering really brought Dave's work to the musical front here and the mix really turned out proper. What a party that night turned out to be!
Pimpzilla: Minus Tree-Fiddy.
Pimpzilla vs Mecha Pimpzilla.
And Pimpzilla: Final Pimp Wars were my favorites.
The one with Jive Jaguar is the best, c'mon!
@@geraldkortfelt6843 Man, Jive Jaguar couldn't even hold his own against Gol-diggah in Pimpzilla: King of the Pimps.
@@geraldkortfelt6843holy fucking shit jive jaguar 😂😂😂😂
Don't forget Godzilla meets brothel queen Hothra
This is what computers think of us.
That would be a sick rapper name 😂
Side note, I actually looked up Pimpzilla and saw there is/was a rapper called Pimpzilla, had some local hits looked like…
One of the best things to come out of 2024 to date! ❤
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks!
Instant classic!
I hope Seth MacFarlane makes a Saturday morning cartoon out of this
PimpZ was entirely responsible for the stock market crash of 2008, A couple I met at the time on holiday in Turkey lost a fortune on their wallpaper shops. (Midlands) True.
Tabernacle Pimpin!
#hustleeverforward
This song goes hard
I'm so glad the newer generation is starting to appreciate and enjoy these hits of yesteryear.
😂😂 what does that even mean? 😭😂
This is magic. We finally have the resources!
This persons wins.
LOOK OUT!
It wants it's MONEY!!!
I'm excited for
"Pimpzilla VS King Dong"
coming this summer...
😂 Love it!!
I gave a thumbs-up instead of a pimp slap, now I want my money.
I saw pampzilla come out the ocean once. he just gave a head nod and kept it moving.
"Japanese Jazz Accountants" is a hard as shit band name
They say this cat Pimpzilla is a bad mother . . .
shut yo' mouth!
Dolemitezilla
Pimpzilla is dating Taylor Swift
This song was way ahead of its time. Jussayin
Idk what this channel does, but I'm subscribing
the fact that Pimpzilla Attacks Harlem! wasn't ever a real C-list spoof movie from the 70's is kinda surprising, seems like such an easy and funny idea
Damn we NEED Pimpzilla tshirts
❤️❤️❤️ I'll have that going on pretty soon, I'll keep you posted!
The world needs a Pimpzilla movie in the vein of "Dolemite" or "The Mack".
12/10 would so watch
I prefer listening at 1.5 speed.
Dude totally see what you mean it’s speeds up the beat I like that I wish I could get the beat at this speed but the lyrics at regular speed.
Well If I were a giant lizard I'd be a pimp too.
Imagine trying to explain why this is great to an alien
I want to buy Pimpzilla merchandises, bruhhhhhhh 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
I knew a guy who made resin figures, unfortunatly we lost contact, he would have a field day making a Pimpzilla fugure for sure.
❤️❤️❤️ thanks I'll have some going soon
Sun Ra prepared me for this!
