The album title is from the 1973 blaxploitation film of the same name, featuring a character of that name. The first track samples the theme song of the film; the soundtrack of the film was later collected in the funk album Shorty the Pimp by Don Julian & The Larks (who star in the movie). This album debuted at number 6 on the US Billboard 200 chart with 82,000 copies sold in its first week.[2]
