Pimp Doughnuts, Fa Shizzle

By Rachelle Bowden in News on Aug 26, 2004 12:39PM

Biship Don Snoop Dogg's friend & spirital advisor Biship Don "Magic" Juan is opening an "exotic bakery" in Chicago and Comedy Central will be filming it all. The pimp has signed up for a new reality show and is interviewing bakers to turn his new business into a hip-hop hotspot.

Don Juan says they'll be all about "making different kinds of exotic cakes, doughnuts and things like that. We're going to have some pimp doughnuts and playa doughnuts. We wanna cater for the needs of all the playas." Pimp doughnuts? And Playa doughnuts? I guess we know what the secret ingredient in the cream filling will be.

The pimp-man's normal get-up includes drinking from a chalice and wearing an emerald-green suit - one reporter said he "looked as if he should be chasing marshmallow moons and stars for a cereal ad," which we thought was a pretty accurate decription.

Don Juan plans to invite local DJs to play at his new bakery. "We're gonna have a DJ there so, in the morning, when you come to work you can stop and get you some coffee and some fresh doughnuts and enjoy some good ol' steppin' music. I mean, the bakery is gonna be the place to be, daily," he said.

Um yeh. Just what we want on our morning commute. And we're sure they'll be servin' up Nelly's Pimp Juice too.
