Self worth is a major theme in all of his standup shows, and he exhorts us all, repeatedly, to be good to ourselves. This man may point out sharp delineations between segments of society but he's the observer of same, not the creator of it. The message he practically sweats himself off stage repeating is "love yourself." At the core of his very comedic entertainment is nothing less than a message for the inherent dignity of the human being. There’s a lot woven into this concert to make a person think, if they’re paying attention. Katt Williams is certainly paying attention — and it’s relaxing as well as entertaining to watch him tell us just exactly what he’s observed.
It's Pimpin' Pimpin' is dedicated "in loving memory of Pimp C, 1973-2007." The title is available on DVD and Blu-ray, and contains the concert itself, a scene selection menu, and a bonus featurette of Katt Williams meeting and greeting fans in "the other D.C." in and around Ben's Chili Bowl. Opening and closing songs by Katt Williams and other artists from Kattpack Records.

Brandy... not only did you review the DVD, you wrote too much. (laughs) I don't have to watch the DVD now. Anyhow, I like what I read as you gave a lot of depth that most people miss because... they are too stuck on the symbolism vs the actual meaning. I tried to do as you've done here and explain "pimp" as I thought Katt meant it. I've listed to, read and watched loads of footage on him because he is a mini super genius if you ask me. Try explaining that to people who either have ONE mentality o a "pimp" and/or those who saw his stage/public personna prior even getting any depth of who he really is as Micah.
I am ever so glad I had the opportunity to see him live, sadly it was not his absolute best. I saw the 2nd trip to DC, yep right where this was filmed. Crew were there capturing footage too but I'm not sure where it all went!?!? All I know is I was deeply honored when I saw the credits roll up and overwhelmingly thank Katt for that.

I'm sorry, but if you're going to quote something, please quote it right. Half of your quotes are unfinished and the other half of them are scrambled. Your review was fine otherwise, but as a fan of the show, the misprints bugged me.

Which "misprints" are those, Kiki?
The two comments accuse me of opposite offenses. In fact my aim was to give the flavor of the Dvd more for those who hadn't seen Mr. Williams' work. My intention was not to provide a transcript but enough description to whet someone's appetite.
Still in all, there was a lot more that I didn't even touch upon...and even those things I described cannot and were not intended to replace viewing the Dvd. I hope no one passes up the steak because of the menu.

I had, laugh, in there for a reason. I was being sarcastic but you seemed to have missed that part. At any rate, I do own the DVD and they state that it was in fact the show I attended that this is from. I think they meshed together 2 shows but here nor there it's funnier now than it was being live in DAR.
Check those credits very close next time you view it.

No it's cool Lady Di. I just didn't want anybody to pass the Dvd by. It like all his other stuff is well worth it. That was my main concern. I also don't want to be 'inaccurate' (re: 2nd comment) it is more about giving a flavor of things for a review. I did write a lot I agree. But I usually do. :p Hey it was all positive though.
Yep I saw you in the credits, (and I've seen you on other boards' comments sections too), I'm glad the man has such true fans. I also liked that he thanked 'the bloggers', I smiled at that one. =)
