Bard
Going with Bard as well. Gives the casting, can go with Perform (Oratory) if you don't want him to actually sing, and has all the necessary skills - Diplomacy, Intimidate, Bluff, Sleight of Hand, Appraise, etc. - for the ... errr... task at hand.
If he is in it for the money then bard... but another way to go would be to make him a priest of a love/lust god for a more "altruistic" type of NPC.
He could be a monk with fly clothing... Pimp slaps are definitely unarmed strikes. Also, pimp cane = quarterstaff or hanbo (from the AA), both monk weapons.
Edit: oops saw that you wanted some caster levels... I'd probably say bard or cleric of lust.
Also, there's always the gnoll pimp.
Don't forget ranks in Profession (second oldest)!
;p
DoD - Kev
I am stating up an NPC pimp and I already know that he will have levels in expert, but I want him to have some caster levels as well. Which do you think is best, bard, enchanter, or illusionist?
You could always use the Hustler class from Solid! :D

I would go rogue and forgo the spellcasting if you've done that schtick before. You can focus on the "enforcer" aspect of pimpdom. Here's a build that has a little spell stuff but is straight rogue. You don't have to be a bard to lead, just to buff.

You don't need improved unarmed strike or anything, you usually want smacking the hos around to be nonlethal. You usually do it with sneak attack (hauling off and smacking someone talking to you counts) anyway, so that's like 1d3+1+3d6 pimp slap damage. Use the brass knuckles instead of expending a feat slot.
Why can't there be more topics like this? :)
Paladin.
Seriously, you know exactly what your buying exactly what you are getting, the "ladies" (or whatever fancy he has for you) are going to be clean and the "ladies" will be well taken care of. So long as it isn't illegal in the land you are in he's good all the way around.

Just because it is lawful does not mean it would still be 'good' even if allowed.

Nothing evil about it unless you mistreat people. Sex isn't a crime, and neither is commerce. The combination of the two isn't either.
What we have here -- is contracted labor. With reasonable pay, sick days, vacation days and a good working environment the paladin isn't doing anything wrong and neither is the prostitute.

I have a Paladin of Iomedae in my Curse of the Crimson Throne game who is the landlord of the brothel at Eels End.
The party will definitely be coming up against an Elf Pimp that they pressed for information once. "Nobody messes with Jackie Brown!"
Bard 5/Ex-Monk 4.
With a unique spell: "Summon B****es"
"Summons 1d3 human commoners, who are fiercely loyal to you."
"We love you Jackie!"

You missed the most important part. A paladin pimp is the only one that dare sample his own merchandise to make sure his ladies aren't too worn down to keep working. Why? Paladins are immune to ALL diseases. So go ahead, pally-pimp, make sure the merchandise is still intact!

Don't even need to be ex-monk, since Pathfinder removed the "non-lawful" requirement on Bards.

This is hilarious and brilliant. And perfectly within the rules as long as prostitution is not illegal. Pallypimp for laughs and win.

Now that's a Paladin that I could play.
can one take weapon focus backhand?
Sorry guys, perhaps he can meet the literal definition and get in on a technicality but a paladin can not ever be a "PIMP".
Besides, no self respecting paladin's mount would EVER allow a purple saddle.
Purple goes well with gold...dragons, that is...

I take it you've never watched "Doctor Detroit", then? ;-)

Hehe, nice call :D
Anyone else thing cavalier could be a good pimp class? If he put some kick ass rims on his mount lets say? Definately the class most likely to have a pimpmobile.

The paladin's mount is better. Paly's get intelligent mounts that also get spell resistance and the celestial template.
The GameMastery Guide (printing now) contains an official stat block for a pimp.
Because YOU demanded it! ;)
YES!!!!

Right...but a paladin as a pimp? I mean I am all for a little more flexibility in the moral code, and paladins not having to be sticks in the mud, but isn't pimp going a little far?
