Big Pimpin' is a 2002 compilation album released by Priority Records. The album is composed mostly of previously-released songs that deal with the subject of pimping. Super Pimpin', Pimp Or Die, Back Up Ho, Break Dat Ho, and Effin Yo! Bitch were all previously unreleased songs [although Pimp Or Die would later appear on Ice-T's 2006 album Gangsta Rap].

Critical response
Kathleen C. Fennessy of Allmusic wrote: Altogether, there are five previously unreleased tracks and at least one certifiable classic, Big Daddy Kane's "Pimpin' Ain't Easy." The strongest track just happens to be the first—also an unreleased one—Ant Banks' T.W.D.Y. featuring Captain Save'm's laid-back "Super Pimpin'" with its slinky gangster-lean chorus. Fans of Jay-Z are sure to notice that Big Pimpin doesn't include his hit single of the same name, but that may be because the focus is more on "the game" as it's played on the West Coast (and in the South) rather than the East.
