Marshawn Lynch -- Chillin' with Pimpin' Silky ... Snoop's Favorite Pimp

Marshawn Lynch may not like the cameras ... but his pal Pimpin' Silky can't get enough of 'em.

Beast Mode and his posse were out in Hollywood Wednesday night -- where they took in a movie at the famous TCL Chinese Theater ... and though he didn't say a word, Silky couldn't wait to talk.

So, who's Pimpin' Silky? He's all over Snoop's Instagram ... where he's always talkin' about pimpin' hoes and things of that sort.

But Thursday, he broke character when we asked if Marshawn thought there was any credibility to Mike Epps' theory that Pete Carroll and the Seahawks didn't hand the ball off at the end of the Super Bowl because they didn't want Marshawn to be the MVP.

Check out the clip -- and remember ... always keep it silky.
