I have drunk top shelf liquor with Pimps, broke bread with Pimps, and smoked bombers to the “roach” with Pimps. But let me make this clear, I have never Pimped and have never made one Pimp Dollar. Personally, I have never had the stomach for Pimping. I am and always have been 100% G. I have been accused of being a Pimp by girls (I think because I dress so Fly and Girls go wild when they see me) and I have had girls ask me to be their Pimp (I have always respectfully declined). I have studied The Pimp’s moves since I was a kid. I grew up in a City that was home to one of the most famous Tracks in the world. The Pimp and The G often travel in some of the same circles. Some Pimps I don’t like, especially Gorilla Pimps. I remember one time when I was younger and my Running Partner at the time stabbed a Gorilla Pimp 25 times with a broken Champagne Bottle (if I recall correctly it was actually a Procesco from Italy ) that laid a hand on a girl we knew. I am writing this not you give you some pointers on The Pimp Game (you can only get the science of Pimping or Pimpology from older, wiser, experienced Macks and Pimps) but to pull your coat and show you some Lessons you can learn from the Pimp to make you a better G.

Dress Fly

We have discussed the need to Dress Sharp in The G Manifesto many times. Pimps always have dope Shoe Game with Custom Gators, wear bright colors, fresh hats, fly cologne, mad Jewlery, mad toolery etc. If you look like a million bucks you have more opportunity to attract a million bucks. You can take some cues and step up your Shoe Game with Gucci Loafers. Or hell, custom Gators. Add some color to your Vines; Turquoise Brioni Pocket Squares, Colorful pinstripes on a brand new ETRO Suit, Fly shirts etc. Green for the money, Gold for the honey. Ties Tangerine, in the Lambrogine, got girls shaking like a tambourine with lips like Angeline….Hats and Jewlery always help catch a Fly girls eyes, which is exactly why a Pimp wears flashy clothes in the first place. I have talked to many Legendary, and I mean Legendary Pimps and they can’t stand how younger cats are dressing sloppy and putting a black eye on The Game.

Pimpmobile

The Pimp’s ride is really just a tool to keep his house in order. We could go on and on about this, just make sure its big, a Cadillac, and custom. Refrigerators and TV’s optional.

Issac Hayes Pursuit of the Pimpmobile

Dope Hair

Pimps always have dope hair. They never leave the house without it looking good because they know its showtime whenever they are out and about. Lights, camera and action. Luckily, (or maybe it was just the result of great genetics) I have dope hair. Maybe the dopest hair on the planet. Its no conicidence that top G ‘ s you see year after year winning Player Awards, and sitting Pretty at the top of the Mack Rankings are always cats with fresh hair.

Slave Just a Touch

Having Lots of Girls

A pimp has a stable. Mostly this is to increase his earnings. A Pimp with more girls generally speaking, makes more dough that a Pimp with less girls. But then again “a Pimp is only as good as his product, and his product is women” so quality does matter as well. Top G ‘ s go for Quanity of Quality. That is what separates Top flight G ‘ s from Halfway G ‘ s. Many fakers out there today will front like they are Macks with one pretty Girl and then they catch feelings when you “knock” her. Chilli G’s. More Girls gives you more options, more control, lets you deal with attacks from rival G’s better and spares you the earthly hell of monogamy.

Nasty Girl

International Pimping

Pimps have always understood the concept of being “International”. Going all across the Bubble. Pick any spot on the Globe and ask about Michael Mason and they will tell you, “Oh, Mike Mason…spectacular G!” Top G ‘ s can never be local or regional. Halfway G ‘ s are local and regional. Pimps move from City to City because certain Tracks get too hot from police and money is better made in other cities. G ‘ s and Playboy ‘ s move from city to city because the are following The G Manifesto Tour and hotter girls or better nightlife is found in certain cities during certain times of the year. Like the Pimp has to understand how each Track in each city operates, The G must understand the nightlife and street game in different cities as well. Frisco to Maine all the way to Spain . From the State Capitol to the Nations Capitol, from the Pineapple to the Big Apple.

The Turn Out

One of the most important things a Pimp must do is “Turn Out” girls. This is his life blood. The Pimp can use many different methods: Drugs, Debt, Gorilla Pimping, “Love”, Mind control, or Sauve Gentleman Pimp techniques. The G uses many different moves and “Closes” to get Models, Nightlife Princesses, or Exotic Dancers on his team. The G and the Gentleman Pimp are very similar but the technique is different.

Ohio Players Skin Tight

Verbal Skills

Pimps (well, respectable Gentleman Pimps) are typically not Violent people (well, they are not the Most violent of people). They have very good mouth pieces and can solve problems with their lyrics. Negotiation, and logic are the Pimp and the G ‘ s first course of action, always.

Bobby Womack If you think you Lonely Now

Knockin

“Knockin” is taking another Pimp ‘ s employee. It is part of The Game and always hurts the Pimp on the losing end for many reasons, the primary being his income is taking a hit. G ‘ s serve other G ‘ s in rival Factions to gain status and well, that ‘ s just what G ‘ s do. It helps create your legend. It also helps you Player Ranking. I have Knocked many high ranking G ‘ s for many girls in my day. I remember one time when I was younger and Served Orange Counties top Playboy for his super rich girlfriend. At first, he was all hot and was yapping about what he was going to do to me, but we sat down and he realized that that ‘ s just how the Game is played. His girl “Chose” me.

Willie Hutch- I Choose You

Stay Armed

Pimps, even Gentleman Pimps, stay armed or have easy access to Ratchets. Violence, by and large just messes with CASH FLOW. But you have to be able to protect yours and handle rival outfits, but to really be Pimping, you have to Pimp with your mind.

Marvin Gaye- Lets Get it on

Veins of Ice

Pimps are cold. G ‘ s are frosty also. Emotion is your enemy. Many battles I have won with other Playboy ‘ s has simply been because I played the roll of the Iceberg. My ticker is like a snow cone. A smile can do a lot. Don’t underestimate what wiping that smile off your face can do also.

Kool and The Gang

Respect for The Game

“If you will be good to The Game, The Game will be good to you”. The ones that last are the ones that respect The Game. If you are playing The G Game or The Pimp Game you have to understand the Rules, protocol, and regulations. Understand you can be Knocked. Be a student of the Game. Teach others. That’s why I don’t have girlfriends, my first love and first wifey always has and always will be The Game.

It might seem all glamour like, rolling, snakeskin down to the floor, but you have put work in to get to this Status…see you at the top….The Rest is Up to You……

The Aftermath: The Golden Boy VS The Pretty Boy

The Golden Boy VS The Pretty Boy is in the books. Here are some thoughts:

The fight wasn’t that close

Mayweather put on a masterful performance and completely out-boxed De La Hoya. The judges were obviously swayed by a crowd that seemed to be pro-De La Hoya outside of like two-hundred people. Every time De La threw a punch (most of which didn’t land), every blond, fake Dior wearing, silicone enhanced Platinum Digger in the crowd went bonkers. As we know, Platinum Diggers can get their scream on. Mayweather’s clean punches were greeted with silence. The judges shouldn’t have been so swayed. The judge that had Oscar winning was more out of his mind than an early 90’s pig-tailed Rave Girl on E-Tabs. I had it 8 rounds to four, Mayweather. The second half of the fight he had Oscar in deep water. In a 15 round fight, Mayweather would have drowned him. (I am not going to say “I told you so” but I knew Oscar has trouble with skillful fast boxers, read: Cinco de Mayweather: De La Hoya VS Mayweather)

Give Mayweather some credit

Oscar had the ring he wanted, the weight he wanted and the gloves he wanted. Mayweather was a clear two weight classes smaller that Oscar. And he was still able to make pretty easy work of the future Hall of Famer. Oscar deserves mad credit as well as he has had a career of stepping into the ring with anyone. That’s gangster.

Larry Merchant

Larry Merchant gave one of the most biased commentating sessions anyone has ever heard. He couldn’t make a single comment that was Positive towards Mayweather or negative toward The Golden Boy. Oscar and Merchant also exchanged a weird look at the end of the fight that made me uncomfortable. At least congratulate Mayweather for winning the Richest Prizefight in Boxing History.

Jim Lampley

Lampley is typically one of the classiest figures in Boxing. Which makes it seem so strange that he took the opportunity to take a parting shot at Mixed Martial Arts:

“Will boxing have to cede its place on the stage to other fighting forms, like mixed martial arts? Mixed martial arts is entertaining. The kind of skill level you saw in the ring tonight – there’s nothing in mixed martial arts which is within light years of what Mayweather and De La Hoya are able to do with their hands.”

If Lampley is worried about the “younger demographic” liking MMA more than Boxing, dissing MMA isn’t the best way to go about getting new fans.

MMA VS Boxing

MMA and Boxing are two different sports, end of story. All the talk of Mayweather would get killed by whoever is the UFC champ in the Octagon is worthless. Tiger Woods would kill Michael Jordan on the Golf Course and vice versa, Allen Iverson would destroy Wayne Gretsky on the asphalt and vice versa, Smelly Kater would dismantle Jerek Deter surfing and vice versa, Smarty Jones would crush Amarillo Slim on the Race Track and vice versa. I would beat them all in a Swooping Models and Exotic Dancers Game Competition and I have guys in my crew that would beat all of them in a Street Fight with Gun Play. It is what it is.

Boxing and MMA can co-exist. There are people that just like watching fighting and combat sports. I am one of those. If I lived in Ancient Rome, I would be ringside at The Colosseum, dressed in the height of fashion, with two Italian girls feeding me grapes, gluping Vino, while watching Gladiators kill each other. True G’s will always appreciate both sports.

Max Kellerman

Kellerman deserves some props for firing back at Lampley with this:

“I disagree with Jim. I think there are mixed martial artists who are operating on a very similar skill level in what they do to these fighters and that’s one of the reasons that the sport’s becoming very popular.”

Kellerman, keep in mind, is the heir-apparent for the commentating crown and was smart to take advantage of Lampley’s bad move. Kellerman wins by decision.

Side Note I:

Vargas VS Mayorga is in the works but HBO seems like they don’t want the fight. Bad play. This could be the most action packed fight on the Docket.

Side Note II:

Gatti and Ward together again. This time Ward will be in Gatti’s corner against Alfonso Gomez of Contender fame (the only reality show I can really stomach). Should be can’t miss action between two Playboy/Boxers.

Eric B. & Rakim- Juice, G Manifesto Certified Track

Side Note III:

Boxing should take a page out of the UFC’s book and start promoting Boxing Cards not just one big fight.

Side Note IV:

Hit a trifecta on the Kentucky Derby earlier in the day and rolled the winnings into Mayweather by Decision and rolled that into a late dinner with six twenty-one year old Southern California girls with my main Running Partner. Like Butch and Sundance. Outlaw G’s. Not a bad way to start Summer….. The Rest is Up to You……..

Diego Corrales rest in peace

Cinco de Mayweather: De La Hoya VS Mayweather

Many people are expecting the sport of Boxing to fade away after Oscar De La Hoya and Floyd Mayweather Jr. meet in the Ring on May 5th Fight Night in Las Vegas. If the fight is anything less than great, the fading is predicted to much quicker. I for one, think it is going to be a fight well worth watching and interesting to figure out who will win.

Fight The Power by Public Enemy (G Manifesto Certified Track)

After Floyd Mayweather Jr. completely dismantled Diego Corrales back in 2001 (remember Corrales was like 30-0 with 27 KO’s and largely considered unbeatable at 6 feet tall and 130lbs) I swore I would never bet against Mayweather. I could tell that he was a fighter that comes along very infrequently. And although I think Oscar De La Hoya has many advantages going into the fight with Mayweather (Size, Power to name two) I have a difficult time thinking De La can win. Three reasons:

The “Sugar” Shane Mosley Fights

Sure the second one was very close, but the first one Mosley cooked Oscar. And Shane ginsued Oscar for one reason: Speed. Sure, I know all the talk about Mosley sparring with Oscar to get him ready and all that, but Mayweather is a far superior technician that Mosley ever was.

The Ike “Bazooka” Quartey Fight

“Officially” Oscar won this fight. And Oscar showed a ton of heart with his round 12 rally. But anyone who can add up rounds knows that Quartey mathematically won this fight and Oscar got a gift from the judges. Oscar didn’t want any part of a rematch either. Quartey had a jab that was a battering ram and probably better than even Mayweather’s jab, but Mayweather is a far more complete fighter that Quartey. The only reason that Oscar closed the show so hard was that Quartey gassed. Something Mayweather does not do.

Side Note I:

Quartey went on to become one of Ghana’s most successful business men. Ironically, he was robbed again after most observers thought he had out boxed Vernon “The Viper” Forrest in his comeback.

The Pernell “Sweet Pea” Whitaker Fight

“Officially” Oscar won this fight also. But anyone with working eyes and a heart beat knows that Sweet Pea won the fight with The Golden Boy. Many fights seem closer with repeated viewings; Hagler vs Leonard or De La vs Mosely II for instance. Each time you watch De La vs Whitaker the fight seems like a wider margin in which Whitaker won. In fact, it’s hard to find instances in which Oscar even laid a glove on Whitaker. But here you had a rising star with tremendous box-office appeal against an East Coast fighter with far less earning power. Again, Oscar didn’t really jump at a rematch. You know Pernell wanted one, he never got hit.

Analyzing those three fights show that Oscar has had mad trouble with fast, skillful boxers. The question you need to ask is:

Is De La Hoya better than he was today at 34 years old than he was when he fought those guys? I am not really sure. Being 34 years old is good for an International Playboy on the Rise picking up on Models girls in South Beach and Paris. Being 34 years old in a boxing ring is not good. Also consider that De La has not defeated a fighter of any significance since Ferocious Fernando Vargas…in 2002! (no disrespect to Ricardo Mayorga who is a significant fighter, but tailor made for Oscar).

But I read a quote from one of the men I respect most in boxing Angelo Dundee (G Manifesto Hall of Fame Member). (My Grandfather knew Dundee quite well and I had the pleasure of meeting him and Muhammad Ali, another G Manifesto Hall of Fame Member, many times as a kid). His quote read:

“This is a great fight and we are so grateful because boxing needs that shot in the arm. Mayweather has never fought a guy as big and talented as De La Hoya. The good big man almost always beats the good little man. I see it going the distance and De La Hoya winning convincingly.”

If there is one thing I have learned in life, it is don’t underestimate Angelo Dundee’s opinion.

So there you have it. Boxing has many people predicting that “The World Awaits” will be Boxing’s last gasp of air before certain death, I only hope that there will be two winners on May 5th: Boxing and The People!

Side note II:

I really don’t think Floyd has been the smartest guy in the world for walking around his house with $100,000 cash on national TV. There are plenty of heist men out there. Ski Masks and Mack 11’s with silencers.

Side note III:

The Kentucky Derby is also on May 5th. This means May 5th is the official start of summer on The G Manifesto Calendar. (I guess I will have to be at the Derby during the day and Jet out to Vegas at night for the Fight). Let’s all take a moment and review tactics for The Race Track and a Formula for Resort Style.

Email of the Week in regards to: Hotel Review: Sunset Tower Hotel, West Hollywood:

“I had a feeling you would pop up a few weeks before the Golden Boy takes his chances with Floyd. I assume there will be multiple sticks dangling on the event from your end? Having set up shop multiple evenings at the Sunset since becoming a G, I always seem to score a knockout with the females and never pay for a room. For instance last month I took that LA nightlife princess hotel heiress chick for a spin on my French tickler and sent her back to her DJ boyfriend gimping like a Vietnam Vet. I enjoy the views, especially the one I had of another high end European swimsuit model pinned up against the window sill last week. Currently I am on a Leer Jet about 6 beans deep, my nose is powdered like a Krispie Kreme doughnut and I am on my way to Turks & Caico’s for brief case exchange and after orgy with 5 Brazilian models that will cost me 40K. I will see you ringside come May Mr. Mason, until then stay out of my mansion in Laguna with your cat mask, I assume the Monet that is missing from my den was your work!”

The Greatest…dope

Dundee with Sugar Ray Leonard

The U.S. Coast Guard unloaded about 20 tons of cocaine that was seized in mid-March from off the coast in Panama. Coast Guard aircraft spotted the vessel, The Gatuan, of the coast of Isla de Coiba, Panama. Fourteen crew members were arrested.

The bust is said to be the largest in U.S. maritime history. The Beeks has a street value of about $500 million which will be destroyed in Miami. Seems like such a waste. Chalk up a win for the bad guys.

Clipse- Grindin (G Manifesto Certified Classic)

Hotel Review: Sunset Tower Hotel, West Hollywood

I post up at many different spots when I am in Los Angeles. Most of the time the reason is to keep the competition off balance. One of my favorite places to kick off my Gucci loafers is Sunset Tower Hotel in West Hollywood. The location on Sunset Strip keeps you pretty centrally located (if there is such a thing as being “centrally located” in LA) to make multiple strike moves. The place also has plenty of history, soul and class (three things you have to strain yourself to find in LA). Heck, the place was designed and built from 1929-1931 by architect Leland A. Bryant in beautiful Art Deco stilo. Art Deco is of course G Manifesto Certified.

Atmosphere:

Sunset Tower Hotel was very popular during The Golden Age of Hollywood. Jean Harlow, Gable, Greta Garbo, Mae West, Liz Taylor, Marilyn Monroe, Ava Gardner all kicked it here in grand style. Bugsy Siegel (G Manifesto Certified Innovator) ran a gambling ring out of his room when he took over LA. Howard Hughes kept mistresses here. Sinatra poli’d here as well. It has appeared in many films and has had plenty of literary mention. With a history like that, I just take my place here as the newest installment in a long history of International Playboys. The reality is that the hotel slid from grace from the 60’s to the 80’s but in 2005 Jeff Klein did a revovation that updated the Art Deco steez and gave it a modern feel. A very dope blend of historical and modern style.

Rooms:

I always stay in The Penthouse, which I recommend. I usually roll into the lobby full of swagger and the people that work at Sunset Tower are so amenable that the usually upgrade me pro-bono to the The Penthouse. The Penthouse is on the 15th floor and allows a stunning view of LA, as stunning as LA can be anyway. The wraparound terrace is probably the best feature, because they don’t like you sparking up cancer sticks in the rooms. Modern bathrooms. I am sure the other rooms in the hotel are dope too. But you could post up in The Penthouse for a couple weeks at a time…and I have. Throw on a plush terry cloth robe spark up a Montecristo Churchill (on the terrace of course) and get ready to pick up some girls that were extras and bit parts on Entourage…..

Competition:

I have always thought that the Competition in LA in general is pretty paper thin. Today its mostly pseudo –actor guys with messy hair, gay shirts tucked in the front untucked in the back, big belt buckles, suspect designer jeans and boots?. It always makes me laugh how straight guys in LA dress like gay guys in other places. Sure you run into an occasional celebrity but they are pretty soft in general. We will deal with destroying Celebrities in a future G Manifesto…..

Features:

One of the best features of Sunset Tower Hotel is the Tower Bar. The Tower Bar used to be Bugsy Siegel’s room and gambling den. They should have kept it a gambling den, but I guess that is progress for you. The food is your relatively standard Diver Sea Scallops with a carrot Puree, Ahi Tuna Tartare, Beef Tartare, Sirloin Burger with Carmelized Onions, Langoustine Pappardelle with white truffles kind of joint. Good execution by Chef Dakota Weiss. Supposedly has a “Hollywood” clientele. Who really cares? Word on the street though is that Puffy got denied entry to a gig here.

The spa is decent, and there is a beauty salon in case you need to get a hair cut. The gym is decent as well. No boxing equipment however. Good enough to shake off a night out.

The G Manifesto Move:

As usual, lock down the spot. Getting upgraded to The Penthouse is key, and as we know Keys open doors. Order up Kobe Beef like Shaquille O’Neil. The main thing you want to do is get the Valets on your team (refer to Art of the Grease) and get access to the pro-bono House Car. Rolling around LA in a town car with driver is worth its weight in gold. Go kill nightspots like its euthanasia. The Rest is Up to You……..
