That's gotta be the most pimp album cover of all time...I want that on a t-shirt.

i love this album

[BoyCary]

Hustlers Convention was a two set LP by Cool and the Gang. Inspired by Don Juan, Chicagos mainest pimps yearly player ball. Which had a cash contest for baddest player in Chicago. This was based on finarncial intake, dress, ride, and bitches. Don Juan won almost every time. Gold is for the honey. Green is for the money. For all you ladies out there. ♥

[McSugusBaro]

Ah, so this is where the Intro for Red hot Chili Pepper's Nevermind comes from! Kinda ironic to put a homage in a song that is about "everyone but me sucks"

[brooklynstudent73]

The poem/rap by Lightning Rod is none other than brother Jalal Mansur Nurridin from the Last Poets. Also sampled by the Dis Masters Crew in 1987 for the joint, "Part-time Hustler."

[garyn1953]

Me and my Boyz used to recite this verbatim while altering our states of consciousness

[AJ5166]

What is a 70's funk track without a wah-wah guitar and a tight bass line. This is when Kool and the Gang brought da' funk, not frat party anthems like "Celebrate". My only complaint is that it's only 2:35 long. Other than that, it's on baby!!!!!!!!!!!!

[mwchinbach]

The whole album is a work of art!

[thebeefyscrew]

One PROPER Funky track........ loved the punters faces when I dropped this one in the pub!

[FeegieDeuceCrew]

same -i used to run a bar and I would make up funk and soul compilations to play in there on friday and saturday nights - this was one of those few songs that, the minute it came on, you could actually see people's faces go "wow, wtf is that" - love it.

[kingrob29]

@thebeefyscrew I do the same thing in my bar. What exactly is a punter? I'm a yank and as Oscar Wild says we are divided by a common language(lol}

[MuzikJunkyAES]

Chrysler used the drums for its latest ad campaign. Peace.
