Definitely one of the tamer entries in the blaxploitation genre as far as violence and nudity are concerned (what did you expect with Gordon from Sesame Street as the titular pimp?) but nevertheless, an enjoyable piece of soul cinema for those who enjoy that sort of thing. While the film doesn't really do anything The Mack or Superfly didn't do earlier and better, it still has its moments. The movie features some of the best and most outlandish costume and set-design in 70s cinema as well as a pretty kickin' soundtrack and one of the dopest purple and gold Cadillacs you'll ever see on film. All in all, a fun watch for fans of the genre, but certainly not essential.
