It's Pimpin' Pimpin'

Katt Williams hits the stage dancing to UGK’s “Int’l Players Anthem,” taking a moment to feel the music before jumping into a set defined by the 2008 presidential race. He approaches the political landscape of the time with complete comfort, operating as a comic who knows exactly how much control he has over a room.

One of the core premises places the burden of Barack Obama’s potential election loss squarely on white voters, while another targets Hillary Clinton’s assumption that her husband’s reputation would automatically secure the Black vote. He works the crowd like a choir director, pacing the stage and letting his signature vocal shifts spike the punchlines.

Filmed at Constitution Hall in Washington, D.C., the release captures the performer at the peak of his late-2000s arena run. Coming off the massive success of his previous television spots and movie roles, he was in the middle of a 100-city tour and completely dialed into his persona.

Beyond the political material, the set features an extended routine about buying a motorcycle and the heavily quoted “Poor Little Tink Tink” bit.
