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
It was New York City, 1954 - In a shocking turn of events, the financial district was thrown into chaos today as the legendary creature known as “Pimpzilla” descended upon Wall Street. Witnesses report that the towering, diamond-studded monster demanded payment from the city’s top executives. “This is a hostile takeover, baby!” Pimpzilla declared, his purple fedora tilted at a rakish angle. “I’m rebranding this joint. From now on, it’s Pimp Street! I ain’t playin’ games, fools!”
The reason this works is because it has some lyrical goodness in it. Most dipshits are just using it to make a guy who sounds like he's from the 50s sing about screwing you're mom.

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.
Damn, '76... who's still listening in 2024?
I need my money 💰
I love the classics!
This is what AI was made for.
Wall Street expired like a squirrel hits a tire 😂
Pimpzilla vs King Dong was my favorite. Truly a gem of 70's blacksploitation movies.
This brings so much perspective to every Godzilla attack ever. Tokyo's gotta pay up.
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 want to grow up and be just like Pimpzilla.
You're better looking. Try harder.
Hate to admit it but this goes unbelievably hard
This is so 70's it hurts... Those Pimpzilla Sandwiches look good though
Pimpzilla Is my new favorite character, this needs to be a saga
Pimpzilla...this needs a trilogy. Next episode is versus Mechapimpzilla.
❤️😂 ❤️❤️
*Wall Street expired like a squirrel hits a tire*
Shit goes hard!
Pimpzilla uses Chuck Norris as a toothpick.
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*
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...
Can't wait for him fight Kingpin Kong soon.
my friend said "pimpzilla x kingpin kong: the new criminal empire"
That pimpzilla is one bad motha-
open yo mouth 🔥🔥🔥🔥
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
This song is unironically 🔥🔥🔥 10/10 would put on repeat.
❤️❤️❤️!
Wall Street been real quiet since this dropped.
Yeah? He levelled it.
They say this cat Pimpzilla is a bad mother . . .
shut yo' mouth!
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 😆
We need a pimpzilla movie with Samuel Jackson voicing pimpzilla
The ham-and-cheese is now canon.
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.
I need a Pimpzilla shirt! One with the biggest afro imaginable!
Yes, please! Pimpzilla merch when?
Wall Street mid-70's Pimpzilla was THE Kaiju.
I can't even be mad at AI anymore
"Wall Street expired like a squirrel hits a tire", WTF, that's fire.
We need more pimpzilla edits out there he needs to be canon
Imagine if society was destroyed and this was the only thing that was preserved
1:31 “Wall Street expired like a Squirrel hits a Tire!”
God Damn, that’s a bar!
All of those vinyl covers would make great tshirts and I would buy all of them 👌
LOOK OUT!
It wants it's MONEY!!!
I'm excited for
"Pimpzilla VS King Dong"
coming this summer...
😂 Love it!!
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.
Pay him what he's owed
This might be the greatest song of the year!!!
I legitimately cannot stop listening to this
One of the best things to come out of 2024 to date! ❤
❤️❤️❤️ Thanks!
Those are the tightest fros I’ve ever seen.
"Call the coast guard..." damn...reptile really do want his money.
I'm so glad the newer generation is starting to appreciate and enjoy these hits of yesteryear.
😂😂 what does that even mean? 😭😂
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!
All I know is Pimpzilla’s Afro is on point!

We need this on Apple Music, Spotify ASAP

This is that late-night shit
i'm low key angry with how much i love both the art and the song.
Who said there isn't any good new music being made today?
Pimp hand and tail coming through, looking forward to that sequel...
I saw pampzilla come out the ocean once. he just gave a head nod and kept it moving.
Pimpzilla is dating Taylor Swift
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 🍻
Gold star imagery
"AI art isn't art" mfs went silent after watching this
They got pimpzilla slapped to the back.
Damn right. With one mighty swing of his tail, Zilla slapped their asses into next February.
The world needs a Pimpzilla movie in the vein of "Dolemite" or "The Mack".
12/10 would so watch
pimpzilla vs ho-dan
....versus Lo Pan?
Pimpzilla: Minus Tree-Fiddy.
Pimpzilla vs Mecha Pimpzilla.
And Pimpzilla: Final Pimp Wars were my favorites.
can't wait for that sequel... Pimpzilla vs Mecha-Pimpzilla! the dope-est shit
this is an instant classic! holy shit, Never in my life have I needed something so much, and never known until I received it.
"Japanese Jazz Accountants" is a hard as shit band name
This changed my life.
PIMPZILLA has a special place in my heart 😂
Gimme my money. I neeeeed MY money‼️ Thanks Pimpzilla 😉👍
Where's MechaPimpzilla at? 👀
He on the corner slangin rocks 😂
Terror of Mecha pimp zilla!
I don't know why this popped up.
But I fuckin love it.
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…
Imagine trying to explain why this is great to an alien
A.I. ?
Just absolutely never heard of this until now, and have scoured funk/jazz for several decades
Yes, the whole channel is filled with similar period AI renderings. Bugged out, ain’t it?
the thing is, as a HUGE funk fan, some of the wild shit they say in these songs is so funkadelic
"i put the crunch in your funk'tosties"
Normally not a fan of AI music...
But this is Gold
The reason this works is because it has some lyrical goodness in it. Most dipshits are just using it to make a guy who sounds like he's from the 50s sing about screwing you're mom.
Well If I were a giant lizard I'd be a pimp too.
Ai is like the VHS cover art thats to awesome to be true, but it delivers on that level of fulfillment that cover promised.
Agreed
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
I didn't know how long I've been waiting for this till today. Thank you
❤️❤️❤️!!
Damn we NEED Pimpzilla tshirts
❤️❤️❤️ I'll have that going on pretty soon, I'll keep you posted!
This persons wins.
Probably my current favourite tune. Seems to be playing at least 5 times a day
It's even smoother on 1.25 speed
Tabernacle Pimpin!
#hustleeverforward
This song goes hard
Instant classic!
Youre absolutely killing it. Laughing my ass off out here. 😂
This song was way ahead of its time. Jussayin
I really hate that this is so good.
