FALL FROM GRACE

I was chattin’ with a friend of mine and for some reason as old as the birth of Herbert Macaulay he kept pressin’ me for a hook up with a chick, “any sweet chick, he says”. At first I thought he was jus’ “monkeyin around’” but nah, the brotha persisted like a tick on a dog’s ball!

C’mon! Do I look like a pimp, or somethin’?

I do not have a dial-a-pimp signpost on my forehead, matter of fact, I’ve never even met a pimp before in my life. Ok, maybe I have but still, “pimpry” is not some communicable disease that people can catch by jus’ knowin’ or breathin’ the same air with a pimp, or is it?

I told my friend I was the wrong man for the job and I would be of no use to him in his great pussy search. He expressed his disappointment by tellin’ me “you lost your mojo, men.”  Told me I was no longer the man…

 

Guri and Lala

Guri and Lala were two of the meanest guys from my teenage years; they were the “man” back then and they weren’t even pretty boys! Huh uh, nobody says you gotta be a pretty boy to be the man, right?

Guri and Lala were the “man” and those who grew up with ‘em knew it. They were like Siamese twins, you wouldn’t see one without the other and if one committed a misdemeanor (and they committed a lot of those and then some), you can be sure that the other one was somewhere in the background.

I’m not sure where those two are right now or if they’re still the man…

PSY

Gangnam Style plays on the radio as I write this. The hangover from that song has finally worn off on a YouTube-crazy world. I never had it on any of my personal listening devices (it’d be a major disrespect to my phones to,)I was never a fan of it or the dance it spurn, am too grown for that shit. The good old “Lean Back” has always been good enough for me, thank you.

Hate it or love it, PSY was the man last year (2012). On the strength of that one song, the South Korean superstar balled hard with a lot of powerful people in the west, a nigga can’t ask for more, can he?

Whatever happens to his follow-up single to be released in April, the fact still gon’ remain that PSY was the man last year…

Mr. YOON

Yoon is another South Korean who was the man, though his reign as the man was short-lived but he was the man nonetheless and I’ll always remember him every time Gangnam Style comes on.

Who is Yoon again?

Well, let’s jus say he’s an half baked white collar criminal who plotted a great escape but instead of headin’ into the sunset (like they do in the movies), he messed it all up by tryin’ to live the high life of the Gangnamanian.

Yoon (33) was the head of account in the company he used to work for. He pilfered $4.3million of company's fund and tucked it away into series of secret accounts and in January, my man Mr. Yoon skipped town after feignin’ family emergency!

Intriguing?

No?

Ok, wait ‘cause shit thickened from there.

After Yoon made away with the loot, he went and had plastic surgery done…ingenious, right? Shit was lookin’ good for Mr. Yoon, he was the man but then he went and fucked it up by goin’ on a spendin’ spree in the district of Gangnam. His ten day binge included a brand new Benz, hot chicks and drinks.

Lifestyles like that would make any fugitive a sitting duck.

Mr. Yoon must not have seen Harrison Ford’s character in the Fugitive ‘cause if he had, he wouldn’t have splurged like he did. The police were unto his ass in no time like white on rice and so his reign as the man ended foolishly…

Outro

As I sit here contemplatin’ my fall from grace of bein’ the man in my friend’s eye, I hit play the button on my favorite song of the moment and kick my feet up. ..Shinedown - I’ll Follow You Play

I’ll follow you down through the eye of the storm

Don’t worry I’ll keep you warm

I’ll follow you down while we’re passing through space

I don’t care if we fall from grace…

 

 

Enjoy your day and take care of each other
