"'Pimp Juice'" is the fourth US and Canadian single by American rapper Nelly, released on March 10, 2003, from his 2002 album 'Nellyville'. The song peaked at number 58 on the 'Billboard' Hot 100.[ "Nelly - Billboard Legacy"], Billboard.com., accessed September 19, 2011. It samples UGK's song Wood Wheel from their album Dirty Money.
In the song, Nelly states that women only want him for his "pimp juice", which he needs to let loose. He later explains that "pimp juice" is anything used to "attract the opposite sex/It could be money, fame, or straight intellect" and that "Pimp juice is color blind/You find it work on all color creeds and kinds". The song was featured in VH1's "50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs...Ever" at #30.[https://www.albumoftheyear.org/user/elsotemo/list/7292/vh1s-50-most-awesomely-bad-songs-ever/ "VH1's 50 Most Awesomely Bad Songs...Ever"].
