recommend it on the day your DVD comes out," making reference to his DVD, The Pimp Chronicles, pt. 1, which was released the same day.
“Oh well. They can postpone us, but they can’t stop us. The Pimp Chronicles Vol. 2. Coming to a store near you, or a jail,” Williams said while leaving the L.A. County jail, on his way to the BET Awards.
The DVD, in stores now, features special appearances from Snoop Dogg, Lil Jon and Anthony Anderson.

said with humor.
