WWW – PIMPIN’ ain’t easy – especially when your day job is acting on a popular prime-time TV drama.

Pimp-turned-rapper-turned-actor Ice T is best known to millions of viewers as Detective Odafin Tumola on “Law and Order: Special Victims Unit,” but fans of hard-core pornography may have caught him in that instant carnal classic, “Ice T’s Pimpin’ 101.”

The sex tape – first out in 2002 and recently re-released as “Ice T’s Pimp’in 101” – has Ice dispensing dollops of pimp wisdom and describing different types of “hos,” including the “Track Ho,” “Carpet Ho,” “Stripper Ho” and “Porno Ho.”

In between Ice’s edifying observations, porn stars are shown engaging in an eye-popping variety of graphic sex scenes.

“Strippers are my favorite type of ho because they do not believe they are prostitutes,” Ice says in the video. “A lot of them believe they are entertainers. Well, if you’re an entertainer, you don’t get off that goddamn stage. Lap-dancing is not entertaining. Lap-dancing is prostitution.”

Ice, who last plied his pimping trade many years ago and is married now to a frequently photographed blond bombshell named Coco, also opines in the video: “It’s funny. Free [bleep] always costs you more. The wife is the ultimate ho.”

He also calls pornography “the ultimate, final level of the mother[bleeping] game, the pimp game,” and leaves viewers with this tantalizing truism: “All of us are hos in one way or another, but very few will ever get the chance to truly pimp.”

This isn’t the first time that a rap star has appeared in a pimp-centric porno tape.

Snoop Dogg released “Snoop Dogg’s Hustlaz: Diary of a Pimp” in 2002. But unlike Ice, Snoop – who also last plied his pimping trade many years ago – hasn’t been starring on a prime-time network drama since 2000.

When we called NBC for comment, we were read a statement attributed to “S.V.U.” executive producer, Neal Baer: “Ice is a phenomenal actor who has done amazing work. His acting has been showcased in episodes that dealt with problems in the foster care system and other important issues facing society.”

An NBC spokesman declined to comment further about Ice’s foray into flesh flicks, but didn’t seem thrilled with Ice starring in any “Pimpin'” sequels: “We wouldn’t even speculate on that,” he said.
