Ice-T, who named himself after his hero, Iceberg Slim - is producing a documentary on the pimp-turned-novelist. "Iceberg Slim has been one of the most influential people in black culture," the rapper said. "Few people know the story behind the man and it's time that story is told."

Slim, who churned out such urban classics as "Trick Baby" and "Mama Black Widow," drew on his 35-year involvement in prostitution and crime to turn himself around in middle age and become a world-renowned writer.
