The Salsa Swoop Move

The G Manifesto » 28 March 2010 » In Game, Girls, Music, Nightlife, Travel » 7 Comments

The Salsa Swoop Move

Click Here 007 Lifestyle – Living Like James Bond!

(Here is my Facebook, New Twitter and The G Manifesto Facebook Page)

Here is a new move from the most recent Chambers of The G Manifesto:

First things first, take some lessons and get your Salsa Game up to Par. The beauty of The Salsa Swoop Move is you don’t have to get great at Salsa, you just need to be better than a typical gringo, which isn’t saying much.

Now it doesn’t matter if in is Cali, Cartagena, Barcelona, Miami Beach, Medellin, Republica Dominicana , San Juan or Bayamon, just roll in the salsa spot like the Don Juan behind the Don.

Approach a fly girl or group of fly girls like you normally would rolling Dolo, like Tony without Manolo.

Being an American, sooner or later, the conversation will come around and she will ask you “What kind of music do you like?”

Always respond, “Música Latina, Salsa”.

She will then inevitably ask you if you dance Salsa.

Say, “No, I never have, but I think I can pick it up pretty quick, can you show me?”

She will always say “Of course”.

The trap is now set.

Once you start dancing, you “pick it up pretty quick” and start busting some ill Salsa. Any mistakes only give more authenticity to the move of just “learning it on the spot”.

Once she sees your Salsa Game, she will be amazed, her eyes will dilate, and falling for you, she will have an “A-ha” moment of sorts.

From here, it’s your Game to lose, Oh my Brothers.

One of the best intros I have ever seen in a video:

Drake “Best I Ever Had”

Great Sample:

Hamilton, Joe Frank & Reynolds – Fallin’ In Love

A Dead Bat in Paraguay

High Heels and Dirty Deals

“Know you got a roommate
Call me when its no one there
Put the key under the mat
And you know I’ll be over there
(Yup) I’ll be over there
Shawty, I’ll be over there
I’ll be hitting all the spots that u ain’t even know was there”

Not the best rhyme scheme, but gets the job done I guess.

“Sex, Love, Pain
Baby I be on that tank shit
Buzz so big i could probably sell a blank disk
When my album drop
Bitches will buy it for the picture
And n$ggas will buy it too and claim they got it for they sister
Magazine paper girl
But money ain’t the issue
They bring dinner to my room and ask me to initial
She call me the referee
Cause I be so official
My shirt ain’t got no stripes but I can make yo pussy whistle
Like the Andy Griffith theme song
And who told you to put them jeans on
double cup love
You the one i lean on
Feeling for a fix then you should really get yo pheen on
Yea just know my condo is the crack spot
Every single show she out there repping like a mascot
Get it from the back
And make yo fucking bra strap pop
All up in yo slot until the n$gga hit the jackpots”

Jackson is believed to have gone into cardiac arrest and paramedics performed CPR on him en route to UCLA hospital.

The website quoted family members as saying the Thriller singer was in “really bad shape.”

“We just got off the phone with Joe Jackson, Michael’s dad, who says ‘he is not doing well.” the website reported.

Jackson Five – ABC

Jackson was reportedly planning a comeback and was living in Los Angeles while rehearsing a series of 50 sold-out shows in London, the LATimes has reported.

Listening to this track you can just imagine the 80’s Playboys popping in the cassette, popping bub, doing mad beeks and swooping fly 80’s girls.

Seems like the singer might have got his hands on some first generation beans as well from the lyrical content.

Some good hip-hop samples in there as well.

The Top Ten Hip-Hop Tracks of All Time

The G Manifesto » 26 February 2009 » In Guide » 16 Comments

The Top Ten Hip-Hop Tracks of All Time

15. Jay-Z – Brooklyn’s Finest (Featuring The Notorious B.I.G.)

Two Legends on the Rise battle on the Mic like two Scorpions in a Bottle. Biggie wins.

Click Here to Buy Jay-Z’s Reasonable Doubt

14. LL Cool J feat. Fat Joe, Foxy Brown, Keith Murray and Prodigy – I Shot Ya (Remix)

This track is the one on the list with the most MC’s but each one rips the mic off the cord. Murray opens up by “representing intellectual violence” and destroying commercial rappers. Then P comes through spitting futuristic lyrics about Illuminati and blows minds. Fat Joe then attacks the mic with street silver bullets and ups the ante by calling himself “Keyser Söze”. Foxy Brown raps better than most guys in the current decade (although, she could have been left off the track). Then LL cleans up by reminding us he “Crushed Moe Dee, Hammer, and Ice-T’s curl”. This track is almost like a street corner cipher with each MC daring the other to go further. Almost a game of lyrical “Chicken”, if you will. Trackmasters on the Production tip.

Click Here to Buy LL Cool J’s Mr. Smith

13. Keith Murray – The Most Beautifullest Thing In This World

When Keith Murray first strangled the mic on this track, I thought I was hearing the second coming of Rakim. A True battle MC, who, with any kind of Marketing could have been huge. But most people don’t get him or his lyrics. Breaks the mic down to an organic compound. With Erick Sermon on the production tip and you have a timeless classic.

Click Here to Buy Keith Murray’s The Most Beautifullest Thing in This World

12. Beatnuts ft. Big Pun, Cuban Link – Off the books

Pun opens up the track and leaves wreckage and mayhem from here to the beaches of San Juan. Cuban Link, Ju Ju, and Psycho Les clean up over a track that’s sicker than maggot infested, decaying decapitated bodies.

Click Here to Buy The Beatnuts Stone Crazy

11. AZ – The format (Prod Dj-Premier)

AZ perfects “Pure Swagger” on the mic. Serious. Pure Deadly Swag. Primo supplies the track with the Roberta Flack sample. AZ and Primo are the greatest pairing since Hollow Points and The Desert Eagle.

Click Here to Buy AZ – The format

10. Jeru The Damaja – Ya Playin’ Yaself

Word to future DJ’s of the world: Spin this track in your set and you will be better than 99.999% of club DJ’s in the world. It’s that simple. And this DJ Premier track is that ill. And this track checks everyone. And that means you too.

Click Here to Buy Jeru’s Wrath of the Math



9. Mobb Deep FT. Big Noyd, Give Up The Goods (Just Step)

No track captured the street hustler ethos better than this Q-tip produced trillion cut emerald. Plus, it had the introduction of BIG NOYD with the line that earned him $300,000: “Yo it’s the r – a double pe – r, n – o – y – d Niggas can’t fuck with me”. Not bad for one line.

Click Here to Buy Mobb Deep’s The Infamous

8. Killah Priest featuring Eva Neide “One Step”

Killah Priest (who I hung out with recently) takes hip-hop and puts it on its head. And then does it again. And again. True Master lives up to his name on the prod tip on the greatest WU related track.

Click Here to Buy Killah Priest’s Heavy Mental

7. OC – Far From Yours

Along with AZ, possibly the most underrated lyrical flamethrowers ever. He performs miracles with the mic; ill and mad lyrical.

Click Here to Buy OC’s Jewelz

6. Eric B. & Rakim – Juice (Know The Ledge)

It’s hard to pick a Eric B. & Rakim track. Hell, they could have the whole “Top Ten”. Here they are at their peak capturing gritty streetlife in a bottle and making you drink it. Juice. Dope movie too.

Click Here to Buy Juice: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

5. Nas ft AZ – Life’s a Bitch

Only two verses. But they are two verses of perfection. Makes you wonder what would have happened if they added a third. The earth would have probably started spinning the opposite direction. Hip-Hop would never be the same.

Click Here to Buy Nas Illmatic

4. Group Home, Livin’ Proof

Guru understudies Lil’ Dap and Melachi the Nutcracker destroy this Primo track on the realest hip hop track ever. The track sounds sicker than an acetylene torch on bare feet. Another one DJ’s must spin for a party to happen.

Click Here to Buy Group Home’s Livin’ Proof

3. Kool G Rap ft. Nas, Fast Life

KooL G Rap and Nas go toe to toe like Arturo “Thunder” Gatti and “Irish” Micky Ward. With legendary results. Raising the bets higher and higher in the third verse, I am surprised anyone ever picked up a mic again.

Click Here to Buy Kool G Rap’s 4, 5, 6

2. Big Daddy Kane Ain’t no Half Steppin

Big Daddy Kane plays “Jason” on the track that made it all possible. The word “smooth” doesn’t even do this track justice. Can anyone step to the Kane? No one even tried after this track. If you don’t have every lyric of this track memorized. Do it. You will be a better person for it.

Click Here to Buy Big Daddy Kane’s Long Live the Kane

1. All City – The Actual

This Primo beat is so ill that this track could have made the top ten if two teenage white suburban girls were rapping on it. Fortunately, J. Mega and Greg Valentine cause the apocalypse in 1998. Hip Hop would never touch these heights again.

Click Here to Buy All City’s Metropolis Gold

And I got all this shit on Wax.

(Yeah, I know I put 15 tracks up)
