The G Manifesto

The Greatest Athletes in the World Share one thing in common: Smoking

I was recently chilling at Gary Danko in San Francisco with one of my old school crew members, who we will call “Hugo” AKA The Viper, enjoying the excellent food (the Quail Stuffed with Porcini Mushrooms, Cipollini Onions, Foie Gras with Artichoke Puree and Chickpea Galette is really can’t miss) and wine (Joesph Phelps Insignia from Napa Valley) Danko’s is know internationally for. We were both suited down (I was in a flash two button Navy blue Paul Smith from Italy, ice cold blue Gucci shirt, Gucci lace ups, Hugo was Armanied Down in total, but his shirt might have been Canali, I am not 100% certain, I probably looked more fresh than him overall, but he did have a insanely sick black and grey Armani tie on) and tooled up (I had a S & W .38 snub nose Hugo almost always has a Glock 17, I don’t really like them because of the jamming factor). Every Sophisto Girl in the spot in Danko’s was sweating us (actually a couple of girls walked up and said, “HI” to HIM, but in my defense I don’t think they really got a good look at me), but we hadn’t seen each other in a while and we needed to update each other on Schemes, Maneuvers, and Breaking News on the Playboy Circuit in general. Plus it was early in the night, and San Francisco is tailor made territory for clean KO’s if you follow The G Manifesto.

Hugo told me about making a killing on betting on Angel Cabrera in the U.S. Open Golf tournament. I don’t follow golf at all, in fact I don’t really follow really any sports. I don’t care about football, baseball or basketball. I know Boxing, Martial Arts, and Horse Racing. But my friend did get my attention when he told me Angel Cabrera beat Tiger Woods while smoking a cigarette the whole way. Now that’s G. After dinner we met up with Hugo’s uncle who’s occupation is a “Sportsman” (he was also a well respected Playboy and earlier generation G, or so the docket reads on him) and he gave us a lot of insight on historically great athletes. We came to the conclusion that in EVERY sport, the top Athletes have always been smokers.

Basketball:

Michael Jordan is widely considered the greatest basketball player of all time. Personally, I have always preferred Latrell Sprewell, Allen Iverson, Victor “Sky” Page, Jason Williams, God Shamgod, Earl “The Goat” Manigault and Pee Wee Kirkland. But that’s neither here nor there. How did Jordan enjoy winning multiple NBA Championships? With a Cigar (Cuban Montecristo No. 2). Interestingly enough, I often celebrate swooping models and winning different legs of The International Playboy Tour with cigars as well.

Red Auerbach also enjoyed the spoils of victory by lighting up a Hoyo de Monterrey in the closing minutes of Boston Celtic victories on the bench. Pretty smooth any way you slice and dice it.

Kurtis Blow, Basketball

Football:

I don’t really know all that much about Joe Namath, although word on the street is he won the Super Bowl and was somewhat of a Playboy in his day. I actually did see some pictures of him in a pretty smooth fur coat, which I am sure was the height of fashion in those days. The docket on him was he was a big social cigarette smoker.

Paul “Bear” Bryant smoked a Chesterfield under the goalpost before each game. Hugo’s uncle told me some other stuff about him but I can’t remember.

Az, The Format, One of the most underated MC’s of all time


Hockey:

Wayne Gretzky is probably the only hockey player I can name. Loves cigars, word on the street is Macanudo is his brand of choice.

Soccer:

Diego Maradonna was probably the greatest soccer player ever. Just ask anyone in Argentina . He also liked to live the good life. Loved cigars and cigarettes among other things. Top notch playboy as well.

Marcello Lippi (Italy ’s coach) celebrated winning the 2006 FIFA World Cup (only the biggest sporting event in the world) The G Way ….with a cigar on the field.

Mobb Deep Burn


Bowling:

Who knows? Who cares? But I am sure whoever is the best at bowling, smokes. (Bowling alleys are not really G Manifesto Turf.)

Baseball:

Pete Rose, great baseball player and gambler. Cigarette and cigar smoker. I still really don’t understand what he did wrong to keep him out of the Hall of Fame.

Babe Ruth was the greatest slugger of all time. He was also smart enough to focus on the important things in life off the baseball diamond: good food, good drinks, beautiful women, and of course Cigars.

Sammy Sosa. Obviously prefers strong Dominican Cigars.

Joe Dimaggio. Baseball player, but most importantly, a first rate Playboy always with cigarette in hand.

Tennis:

John McEnroe and Jimmy Connors, G Manifesto Certified tennis players. Both Irish, both Playboys. They had to have smoked.

Andre Agassi chokes down premium cigars. I have seen him puffing them in Las Vegas .

Anna Kournakova, of course she is a cigarette smoker (have you ever really met a truly sexy girl that wasn’t a cigarette smoker? Seriously ask yourself that question). Sure, she never won a major tournament but it hard to argue that she is not the greatest female tennis player of all time.

Boxing:

Sylvester Stallone. Sure, he wasn’t a real boxer but he played a great movie one. And I mean all five Rocky movies (I haven’t seen the sixth). Cigars and cigarettes.

Also too many to mention. Mickey Walker, Mickey Ward, Rocky Graziano, Rock Marciano, Arturo Gatti, Harry Greb and Jack Lamotta come to mind immediately.

Ali VS SMOKING Joe Frazier- The Thrilla in Manilla

Any questions? No? Then I rest my case. The Rest is Up to You……….

Side Note:

The attack on smoking has reached ridiculous proportions. Even in Las Vegas you cannot smoke in restaurants now. Joe Dimaggio would never be able to completely enjoy a dinner with Marilyn Monroe in today’s world. Very sad. Smoking is illegal outdoors in Parks and Beaches now in California . So this is illegal:

Are you kidding me? That is illegal in California (Cantifornia).

So you’re on a roll in your crappy hometown (and I don’t mean beans either). You have been swooping mad girls. Your Game is water-tight at the dive bars. Your Day Game is lacking no zip at the malls. You have been cleaning up at your local Hooters. You even somersaulted a pound of the G 13 you got from the V 13. You think your ready for South Beach and all the Models that come with it right? No, you’re not ready. Not until you read The G Manifesto. (Not like there is anything wrong with Hooters girls. In fact, I have done an unofficial case study and I have found out that Hooters Girls are like a farm team for future Playboy Playmates. The G Manifesto on swooping Hooters Girls, coming soon…)

We have already gone thru basic technique in The South Beach War Report Part I: The Basics (click link); if you haven’t yet read it now would be a good time to etch it in your skull. Today we are going go over Advanced moves and techniques for Boa Constricting South Beach.

Rass Kass, Miami Life

Street Game

We have already gone over Street Game techniques in Street Game…It’s kinda like The Crack Game (click link), so you should have a good idea of what I am talking about. Street Game is at a premium in South Beach (especially in comparison to cities like Las Vegas where Street Game is almost non-existent). Some of the most beautiful girls you will see in South Beach are going to be on the Street. Corner to Corner. Curb serving. Anticipation is paramount. You need to Anticipate which direction a girl is walking when she is at a street corner. This is true for Day Game, Evening Game and After-Hours Game (I never have overstood why people call it “after-hours”, if you are looking for heist-tips or swooping, these are “peak hours”). If you see a fly Paraguayan Model Girl with a Nancy Gonzales turquoise Crocodille Clutch in hand at northeast corner of Collins and 17th and you are across from The Delano, you need to make quick calculations and Anticipate. Is she going to mash up 17th? Or do I need to cross Collins and cut her off in front of The Sagamore and pitch her on cocktails and pro-bono Lamb Cigars at the Bar at Social Miami? Its questions like these and proper Anticipation that separate the perpetrator G’s from The Truth. Posting up, dressed sharp (Rakish Ozwald Boateng 2 button suit, side vents and Gucci loafers, loosened Mint green Zegna tie, and I don’t mean Club Mynt either, 9 milly, rubber grip, should work) with a cigarette hanging out of your mouth, clacking a Zippo near a modeling agency has never been bad for anyone’s health either.

Slave, Watching You

Research

“Time spent on reconnaissance is never wasted”-El Cid (G Manifesto Certifed Castilian Nobleman, Conquerer and 11th century G). You need to know which spots are the right places to be on which nights in South Beach. This is easy if you are me and you have this Data memorized. But if you are regular everyday Guy, you are going to have no chance unless you have the intell. The easiest way to get this data is to post up at a High-end hotel and lock the bartender down. Grease them if you need to. Get the info. If you lock the bartender they will probably give you a name or two to drop as well. Make sure you get the times you want to arrive, door guys names, afterhour’s spots and restaurants wired. If the bartender is a fly girl, pitch her….skippy.

Early Leads

A lot of people don’t utilize this angle. Miami Beach is the kind of town where it’s easy to be unfocused and get Caught Up (and I don’t mean that Bokeem Woodbine film either). It’s a long night in Miami Beach; getting Early Leads is like investing in Mutual Funds with some jerkoff stockbroker before the Bubble burst. Or investing in real estate before the equally jerkoff mortgage brokers got their pockets turned inside out. Call the Early Leads later in the night as an “escape hatch” if need be. Sure you have to listen to Fergie’s “Glamorous” track on every girl’s ringer but trust me; you will be thanking me at 3:30 am eastern standard time.

Pimps

Late night, certain sections of the street become a Track in South Beach. You will see a lot of Pimps and their girls rolling the streets. We have already touched on The Pimp Game in: Veins of Ice: Lessons from The Pimp. I always say, “what up” to the Pimps on the Ave. Game recognizes Game type situation. Player Recognition. They always respect my swagger. And they are usually blinded by my suit game. I always take a little time out from the evening and chop it up with these guys.

Heaters

There are plenty of tough guys on South Beach. A lot of these guys work out a lot. Now, I hit hard, have solid Muay Thai and my submission defense is up to snuff, but that last thing you are going to see me do is roll around on the Concrete in a $2100.00 custom Prada suit (my goal, of course , in Miami Beach is to roll around with a Model girl or two on high thread count Egyptian Cotton Sheets). So I always carry chrome on Miami Beach. Historically speaking, the Mack 11 with silencer has been de rigueur on Miami Beach. But recently, I have been favoring the Heckler & Koch MP5 when I can feel it in the air…more high class, more style points. (And I’m not Phil Collins; I’m more like Joseph Stalin). I drop 3 G’s on suits imagine what I spend gun shopping……(and I don’t care what I spend on security it helps me sleep during the day.)

Workouts

Even the most Sinister G’s can hurt after a good three day runner in Miami Beach. Now try three months. The good news is (and I don’t mean News Café either) is that getting a workout on and Entering The Dragon in South Beach is as easy as picking up a dope Hollywood Party Girl with a faux talent agent card (especially compared to getting a workout on in Las Vegas). Bust a beach jog up to the Fountaine Bleu and back like that. Keep your head right, don’t go insane and try to hit the same vein as Kurt Cobain. The humidity will help you sweat out the good stuff with a quickness. I always like to box a few rounds as well to keep my hand speed and reaction times up. Many times I will leave Miami Beach in better shape than I arrived. Make sure you intermix a steady diet of Stone Crabs and Haute Cuisine with Cuban food (home cooked Ropa Vieja, Ajiaco Cubano, Roast Suckling Pig and Pollo con Quimbobo y Platanos as well) to Fuel The Dragon. Also, make sure you Gulp down plenty of Café con leche to keep the Skull Game tight. And, chain smoke to keep your lungs in order.

Connections

Connections are King in South Beach. Which is good for me since I have them in Spades. Cuban G’s, Club owners, Door guys, G’s who move two kinds of Miami Bass, Colombian Rakes, Vip Hosts, Euro Playboys, South American General’s kids, Cocaine Cowboys, Matre D’s, NYC Kool Kids, Bensonhurst, Bay ridge, Gravesend, Bath Beach top Guns, Marielitos (did I miss anyone?), you name it I got them. Then you too can be slick as a curl and smooth as a pearl. Now you just got to spit more Game than a mouth full of poker chips to get the Models with the bony hips….

Innovate and Undefeated

“El Cid never defeated by any man on the Earth”. One of the reasons for El Cid’s success was that he constantly analyzed warfare. If you have a tight crew, all of you should analyze what works and what doesn’t. Take suggestions. He also was a great innovator and used unexpected strategies in War. Do the same. Create your own moves. Pioneer your own techniques. The Rest is Up to You…….

Soon we will tackle Getting into Clubs: South Beach Style. And later we will get into The Framework for Swooping Models. Till then, The Rest is Up to You…..

Click Here to Buy Emergency: This Book Will Save Your Life By Neil Strauss

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.

Martha Reeves & The Vandellas– Jimmy Mack

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.

Edwin Starr Easin’ in

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……..
