O's Slanguage Street Talk - It aint trickin' if you got it.

My people, its been a hot minute daaaamn, but aaayy,,im baaaack.

Down to the biz, i got your your slang ready for you, summin you been hearin' in a whole lotta rap joints and might not know what its all about - 'It ain't trickin' if you got'.

Trickin in itself really aint a good thing coz trickin is spending money, that you dont have, on a woman JUST to keep her around..now that aint pimpin'...on the contrary, if you've got that kinda money, and you you can afford to spend it then hey, why not, it aint gonna hurt you in anyway..hence the term.

Here's how a couple rappers have put thus in their music:

Lil Wayne: It aint trickin if you got, but your like a bitch with no ass, you aint got shit.

T.I: Hudred deposits, vacations hit the tropics, cause errboy know it aint trickin' if you got it.

Warning, i aint encouraging no-one to be spending all their dough on random skirts, but if your into that kinda thing..lol. Just remember M.O.B.

Be Easy..

DRAKE "DOWN" FOR SWIFT COLLABORATION

Drake is still coming down from his GRAMMY high after performing on the big stage with Lil Wayne, Eminem and Travis Barker. He told MTV News that he would love to collaborate with GRAMMY-winner Taylor Swift, saying, “I just have this small little thing with her; I just like her whole being. I'm excited about her career." Swift has already dabbled in hip-hop. Who could forget T-Swizzles memorable “Thug Life” duet with T-Pain at the CMT Awards last year? And long before Swift and Kanye West’s VMA incident, Taylor told MTV News that she wouldn't mind hitting the studio with him

LIL WAYNE’S PREDICTED ALBUM SALES

According to HitsDailyDouble.com, the predicted sales for Lil Wayne’s Rebirth album won’t come anywhere near the impressive one-million-units-sold sales for his Tha Carter III disc. Instead, Weezy’s rock inspired project is on pace to move an estimated 150-thousand copies. We won’t know for sure until the Nielsen SoundScan numbers come out next week, however the numerous delays and extensive leaks might have taken a toll on the overall success of Wayne’s Rebirth.

KANYE WEST RESPONDS TO PETA

If you thought Kanye West would stop his ranting in 2010, you were sadly mistaken. On his blog, he takes aim at PETA for criticizing him for wearing fur coats in Paris. ‘Ye wrote in all cap-fashion that he was “briefly saddened by negative comments, but I have to remember those people are scared, incapable or just plain idiots. We are the f***ing rock stars baby. No cocaine, just life!” He adds, “It's funny to me when fashion bloggers down our outfits and then super jock outlandish s**t on the runway, but they dress mad prude and don't live fashion.”
PETA Vice President Dan Matthews previously stated: "Kanye can't help making himself look like an idiot, whether at an awards show or a fashion show. He and his girlfriend look like pathetic creatures from a shabby roadside zoo."

EMINEMS ADVICE TO DRAKE

Performing at the GRAMMY Awards may not be anything new for Eminem and Lil Wayne, however it was Drake’s first time playing such a huge event. MTV News reports Slim Shady gave Drizzy advice just before the trio performed “Forever” at the ceremony. Drake stated, “He was like, ‘Man, anytime you need to look over at me, don’t get nervous. Just look over at me, man, and I’ll give it back to you. Everything will be all right. Don’t be nervous.’ For him to say that to me — I feel like that was an important moment. It was nice.”

MAXWELL EXCITED FOR GRAMMY AWARDS

Maxwell took an eight year hiatus from music but returned with the critically acclaimed Blacksummer’s Night – which is up for six GRAMMY nominations. The “Bad Habits” singer told us what the recognition means to him.





"To come back and make a record based on my own living experiences and not my desire to be number one or in the business, so to speak, and to have this kinda reception, its like I feel like I’ve already won. So if nothing comes from this, it’s been truly the cherry on top of the cake for me, I’m truly grateful beyond words.”

Let us school you a bit here. Do you remember those Chappies wrappers... DID YOU KNOW??

-To date, the singer’s album has sold over 967-thousand copies of Blacksummer’s Night.

Gang of Instrumentals kicks off 2010 in style at The Lyric

The Lyric Theatre at Gold Reef City Casino is proud to once again host the wildly popular Gang of Instrumentals for a once-off performance on 23 January this year in what promises to be an exciting and affordable evening of entertainment.

The urban pop-group's memorable appearance at the venue was one of the highlights at The Lyric last year, and this show promises to be even bigger and better. Expect to hear the band play many of its smash hits, such as Shake it, Oh Yeah, Woza December and the new single, The Craziest Sound.

Gang of Instrumentals - also affectionately known as GI - is a critically-acclaimed South African urban-pop group, founded in 2002. The Johannesburg-based group consists of Tumi 'Lady Naturelle' Masemola, Mandla N- Pimville Spokesman, and 'Bongo' Riot Zungu. Their innovative musical style is a mixture of hip hop, street rap, pop, soul, R&B, ragga, reggae and rock, with elements of kwaito and house.

This trio is one of the most successful and favourite independent groups in South Africa, and recently landed the coveted Best Urban Pop Album at the South African Music Awards (SAMA) for 2009. They have released 3 albums and are in the process of completing their 4th album to be released in May 2010.

The show takes place on Saturday 23 January at 20:30.
