Pretty damn funny video promoting the book Damn, it Feels Good to Be a Banker: And Other Baller Things You Only Get to Say If You Work On Wall Street (Click Here to Buy). Made famous from the blog http://www.leveragedsellout.com (Which I am sure it felt better to be a banker a few years ago).

Some of the best lyrics by the banker:

“I got a house in the Hamptons and a penthouse loft
But you’ve got intangibles, is that why your skills are so soft?
Over at 1OAK the bouncer looks at you sideways
Get back to your roots, there’s no line at TGI Friday’s
Hypothetical scenario: you get into the joint
You still can’t buy bottles with Starwood Points!”

“Might work 100-hour weeks, barely sleep
Do some blow off my desk when I’m eight red bulls deep
Compared to what you do, my job’s a challenge
I like my bankroll, bro
KEEP YOUR F#$*ING WORK-LIFE BALANCE!”

But I think the best line is by the consultant:

“And I know something about you…
You went to Walt Whitman – that’s a PUBLIC SCHOOL!”

Either way, its better to be a hedge fund guy or a PE guy any day. And its better than any of them to be a G any day or night.

Guest Manifesto: Pick Up Artists vs. The G

» 09 September 2008 » In Dope, Game, Guest Manifesto, Style » 1 Comment

Pick Up Artists vs. The G

(follow up to G Manifesto Outlook for 2008)

I bomb atomically, Socrates’ philosophies
And hypothesis can’t define how i be droppin these
Mockeries, lyrically perform armed robbery
Flee with the lottery, possibly they spotted me
– Inspectah Deck

It seems like there’s a hundred “Pick Up Artists” and “Dating Gurus” and out there nowadays, one of the trends predicted in G Manifesto Outlook for 2008, “The Pick up Artist phenomenon will only grow stronger in 2008. It is like this decade’s version of “Revenge of the Nerds”. Personally, I love it. More power to them. (Keep in mind there is a distinct difference between The G’s and The Pickup Artists.)

In this Guest Manifesto, let’s do a quick comparison of some the key differences between Pick Up Artistry (faux du jour) and The G.

“R.E.A.L. Game” is a double acronym conceived by the Pick Up Artist Carlos Xuma, “to help guys get MASSIVE success with women. No dumb pickup lines or fake techniques.”

Let’s see what The Pick Up Artists says about REAL Game…

Xuma’s REAL stands for:

R = Relaxed & Resourceful – you have to be cool, calm, and collected…
E = Effective & Energized – you have to find your power and what works for you…
A = Authentic & Alpha – It has to come from YOU, your genuine personality and character…
L = Lifestyle & Lasting – This has to be a way of life for you – success in everything, not just women …

To be fair, decent points all in all; kinda like Foundation Game/Self-Help 101. But definitely lacking the kind of sizzle that is going to get girls clinging to you like “’wow’ and ‘ow’ to now show ya how to bow to scoop-a, in the train goopa”, the moment you post up at the spot, suited down and chromed toasters hot.

How about The G’s acronym for R.E.A.L.? Glad you asked.

G Manifesto REAL stands for:

R = Rooftop Bar Game; Rolling with Models, Fly Suicide Girls or High Society Girls; Rolling thick bankrolls; Rolling Dutch (one-handed); Rolling on 20’s; Rolling over the competition (on my 20’s, while single handedly rolling Dutch in a car full of Fly Girls…)

E = Pockets full of it;

A = Anti-Establishment; Artemesia Absinthium; Art of Enhancing BankRoll; Advanced move for Picking up Exotic Dancers; Art of the Grease; Alcohol; Amphetamines; 1st Amendment;

L = Lethal; Lifted; Legit.

Now that’s REAL Game, G Manifesto style…

~ Tafari

AKA Game on the R-E-A-L

“Battle me, mathematically, I’m givin your wisdom a cavity
Rapidly flowin, controllin the time
Flip over the line, I’m blowin your mind wit just a flow and a rhyme”
-Big Pun

Treat Her Like A Lady

Treat Her Like A Lady

Great track to relax on a summer weekend day gulping some Albariño and whipping up some fresh caught-free range Halibut with a dill mustard sauce, some ensalada Valenciana and a fly Uruaguyan girl. And of course enjoying everything that happens succeeding.

Guess they don’t have Italian Tailors in Alaska?

» 03 September 2008 » In Dope, hip hop, Style » 6 Comments

Guess they don’t have Italian Tailors in Alaska?

Palin family dressed horrible. Looks like an ad for the Men’s Wearhouse. Seriously. Horrible. And. Low class.

But that probably appeals to the typical American.

Any party that insists on playing Country Music is against all that is G Manifesto.

TELL THE TRUTH – Mos Def – Immortal Technique – Eminem

“I pledge no allegiance, nigga fuck the president’s speeches
I’m baptized by America and covered in leeches
The dirty water that bleaches your soul and your facial features
Drownin’ you in propaganda that they spit through the speakers

This shit is run by fake Christians, fake politicians
Look at they mansions, then look at the conditions you live in”

– Immortal Technique

“I don’t rap for dead presidents
I’d rather see the president dead
It’s never been said but I set precedents”

– Eminem

I try to keep The G Manifesto non-political (actually I don’t, but anyway). I have said it before, and I will say it again, “Fuck Country Republican Rednecks”.

Revolution is coming. Get ready. It’s in my blood.

Be Thankful for What You’ve Got

Be Thankful for What You’ve Got

Great track for a dope summer evening, sipping on some Las Rocas Garnacha, eating some Tortilla Espanola and Pan a la Cataluna with a fly girl from Valencia. Tortilla Espanola is always better homemade.
