February 11th - Gangsta Brown

Gangsta Brown is said to be one of the youngest, baddest and smoothest pimps to ever come out of the San Francisco Bay Area. The godson of the world famous pimp Fillmore Slim, he entered the game at the young age of 16 years old. Pimping has brought this young hustler big money, big cars, big houses and an apartment building. He was a rare pimp for sure, he never drank or used any type of drugs, but ran with the biggest gangsters and hustlers ever seen. This pimp is best known for turning out the million-dollar lady of leisure Divine Brown, who got caught with actor Hugh Grant in Hollywood. He earned the name Gangsta Brown from his shoot-out with the police in Oakland, CA, but was a pimp to the bone. Still alive today, was friends with Too Short and many other artists from around the bay. Also, he was Vegan. From watching videos and interviews from him, I’ve learned he doesn’t shy away from his past and remains a positive influence on those around him. Plus, he has such a sweet endearing smile.
