In case you haven’t been following what has been going on in Tijuana, Mexico, here is a quick study course:

• The drug Cartels are in a power struggle. Arellanos and “El Chapo” Guzman type shit. “Plata o Plomo” type shit.

• Drug hitmen are taunting President Felipe Calderon with messages pinned to dead bodies. (Calderon has waged a war against the Cartels sending troops to many cities thorough Mexico.)

• At least six musicians who sing “Narcocorridos” have been murdered in brutal fashion.

Sinaloa Cartel Narcocorrido

• Tourism is down 90% by some counts. Americans are scared to go to TJ even though Americans are relatively safe there. The targets are soldiers, police, wealthy residents and cartel members.

• More than 150 have been killed this year in the city. Mostly execution style. Some in wild daytime shootouts.

• Kidnappings have even extended into San Diego (although the papers won’t mention this).

Delinquent Habits – Tres Delinquentes

• Training centers have been uncovered by police for cartel hitmen, with huge caches of weapons and an indoor shooting range.

• Many of the killings have included torture and mutilation.

• Police officers and their families have been killed in their own homes, breaking a long standing code that women and children were off limits.

MOBB DEEP – GET AWAY

Yeah, you could say Tijuana is in full meltdown mode. Chicago in the ‘20’s. Miami during “Paradise Lost”, DC in the late ‘80’s. South Central in the early ‘90’s. Only way worse…

I have had long standing ties with Tijuana specifically and Norte Baja in general. No one knows those beaches better. I have many times used certain parts or Norte Baja as a hideout in my life. Where exactly? Do me a favor.

One reason I have spent a lot of time in Tijuana is that the wealthy upper class has lots of fly girls. Model-like girls. With mad dough.

With all this being said, where do you think your humble author is dating girls as of late (with the exception of Buenos Aires)?

You guessed it, Tijuana.

If I wasn’t, I wouldn’t be The G, right?

The only problem is that the wealthy class in Tijuana is the target of “sequestros” aka kidnappings.

So, I have been rolling around in bullet proof rides through the streets of TJ, custom suited down, packing heaters like an Eskimo(mad cuetes).

I am going down tonight to meet a fly wealthy, beautiful TJ daughter. Wealthy, from the kind of land baron family that has had cash since the days of “Alta California”. Long dough. With distance.

If you don’t hear from me soon, send out a search party.

And come Tech 9 blazing, por favor.

Gracias.

One of the Many Reasons South Beach is Dope

This is why I love South Beach:

Click Here for Fool’s Paradise: Players, Poseurs, and the Culture of Excess in South Beach by Steven Gaines

Recently, I went to Osteria Del Teatro in South Beach with a couple associates, as a launching pad. Cruised in, suited down; Prada Suit, Charcoal-Acai colored Prada shirt, murderous Gucci tie, Luger nina (and I don’t mean that fly South Beach hostess/ model I swooped on recently named Nina either) and Gucci loafers no socks. My pockets exploding like an Irish pipe bomb and green like photosynthesis. More shells than Frutti Di Mare. My associates were wearing…I think Corneliani suits.

So we rolled in, I was greeted like The Prince of G’s by the Maître’d (who really is a class act, and I am on a first name basis with most of the staff) and we slid into the best table in the house. Girls clocking me, because I have more Mack than Craig in the bed (and I don’t mean club B.E.D Miami, either) and Screwface the Dred. I ordered up a 10 year old Barolo and walked outside with my associates and my glass of wine to clack my Dunhill Lighter and smoke a jack.

My associates were talking about some crazy new-school shit, like using Google Earth to help plan heist moves and some standard old-school shit, like comparing the quality of Burmese Sapphires VS Sri Lankan Sapphires. Hardly listening to them, I noticed an older guy, probably on the north side of 70 years old sitting in a chair, smoking a cigarette, drinking a glass of red. He was dressed pretty sharp; smooth sweater, plaid slacks and loafers no socks. The height of fashion for the Grandpa G set. There was something about this guy that I noticed right away. Game recognizes Game type situation. “Player Recognition” is what we call it in the industry.

I paid my respects right away and introduced myself. He said his name was “Donald” and gave me a pat on the back and said to me, “keep doing what you are doing young G, and don’t let the rival factions and Haters get you south” (well, he didn’t really say that exactly, but something to that effect). He got up, flicked his cigarette with swagger, really close to one of my associates and walked back in Osteria Del Teatro. Dope move. Style all the way.

As we re-entered the restaurant, I noticed that Donald was sitting by himself next to the window. I started really getting into the bottle of red as it was opening up. Real Inky.

Then, like a comet across the night sky in Cartagena, Colombia, the most beautiful girl I have seen on this stay in South Beach (and that is saying a lot) walks in to Osteria Del Teatro. Narciso Rodriguez dress, I think, Christian Louboutin shoes with the red bottoms, spinning a Dolce & Gabbana tote. This girl was so beautiful everyone in the place stopped. I think my heart even skipped a beat like a scratched Special Ed record. Guess who she sat down next to?

Michael Mason?

No, not me…Donald!

After she gave him a kiss on the lips, I gave up all hope that she was Donald’s grandflydaughter. My Game is butter, I got bread and rivals want to toast me. So, as a natural reaction, I thought for a split second of trying to peel Donald for his girl and front paging her, but I was then ashamed I even thought that.

The Impressions – I’m So Proud

Here was a old-school G, who probably chilled with Lansky at Wolfie’s, who has obviously been in the Game forever and deserves his respect from young International Playboys on the Rise like your humble author.

Scoreboard: Grandpa G- 1, Michael Mason- 0

Cam’ron – Your Girl

I raised my glass to Donald, took a huge glup of my Barolo and smiled to myself. In South Beach you can be a G into your 70’s!

Safe to say, I am not getting married anytime soon…

Sure, I am not naïve enough to think that money might have had something to do with it, but then again what doesn’t?

Charge it to The Game. You can keep the change, but I kept my receipt.

Jay Z – Can’t Knock The Hustle

Jewellery heist at St. Maarten airport now estimated at $850,000

Latest data reports put the value of recent big jewellery heist at Princess Juliana International Airport in St. Maarten at around $850,000. Early reports had the heist at $350,000 in Swiss luxury watches.

The jewellery is now thought to be (formerly) belonging to at least 7 companies.

This heist is probably the largest ever theft of its type ever in the tropical island of (Philipsburg,Dutch side) St. Maarten.

The jewellery was shipped in to St. Maarten in anticipation of a big holiday sale season.

Perfect time for a heist. You really can’t beat winter in the tropics.

Damien Marley – All Night

Vegas Update: Soft Opening for The Palazzo

On New Year’s Eve, the casino at The Palazzo, the lobby and an atrium of the $2.1-billion, 3,066-suite hotel was open. The rooms are not completed yet.

The hotel is expecting rooms to be ready for guest on Sunday, Jan. 6

When taken together, the Palazzo, the 4,027-suite Venetian and the Sands Expo Center represents the largest hotel and convention complex in the world. All are owned by Las Vegas Sands.

The Palazzo development also includes a high-rise luxury condo tower fronting the Strip due for completion in fall of 2009.

The Palazzo is the first of several major resorts scheduled to open in 2008 and 2009.

Also to open in Las Vegas:
2008: Encore, Steve Wynn’s $2.2-billion follow-up to Wynn Las Vegas.
2008: The $2.8-billion Fontainebleau hotel-casino
2009: MGM Mirage’s $7.8-billion CityCenter development
2010: Boyd Gaming Corp.’s $4.8 billion Echelon development
2011: Elad IDB’s $5 billion hotel-casino modeled on the company’s Plaza hotel in New York City

Should be some decent places to hang your hat (so to speak).

Plenty of options for a “Double Room” move.
