I said it was an exageration. It was more of amalgam of customer experiences. Did I ever have a guy come in with an Enzo? no. Did I have guys come in talking like that and wanting stupid crap? yes. I have had the pleasure of serving many of Oklahoma State's finest athletes: Andre Williams, Kenyatta Wright, Jason Keep, Desmond Mason, etc. Fotball, basketball, wrestling and baseball, I sold em all stuff. A few have gone pro and bought some big gear before they left. don't take it so literally. geez everybody is so touchy today.....

Yea, it didn't really offend me? I guess i'm not that uptight about the whole racist situation. It's a really blown up topic IMO.

Desmond Mason is a good player, I loved watching him in Seattle, and glad to see he got a chance to be in a dunk contest.
Anyways, I remember watching one and it showed Xzibit's (sp?) escalade or something, he opened it up and he said "Gotta have Alpine, only the best". I believe thats what he said, or something to that degree, anyways, at least he has some alpine.
On the latest pimp my ride the guy had an L7 or maybe an L5 and an amp in his car, they took it out and put in 2 12" MA audio subs or something. Was interesting.
I love when the electrical guy is explaining about the system and he always adds up the max watt ratings on everything and says "You have 8,000 watts of power in this system. The boys from Audiobahn hooked you up!"

then the dealer says " man, I can hook it up with some rainbows and RE's and it will be slick. OG rapper " Naw man, i gots ta hav da flames homie, Holla!"
Dealer "you got it buddy, I need keys and a deposit"
ten minutes later- dealer "yeah, lotus dealer, I need to order a new lotus. I just had some dumb rapper come in and buy a $2500 system for $20000. I need to blow some cash."
Yeah, they are that stupid, believe me, I have sold to enough guys going in to pro sports. they get that cash and blow it on stupid shit. not all of them are like that, no stereotypes here. That was an exageration of a guy who went pro I sold to a few years ago. then there's the drug dealers. I had a kid come in, graduating form Oklahoma State University in 2 months. he sold drug s on the side ( I wasn't sure at the time) he was all " sup homie g, needs me some tvs bro. got 5gs. Put em in my explowa." so we did. flip out in dash, 2 in the visors, to flip downs in the back. we also put in 2 15"s and a couple amps. it slammed. he graduated. 2 weeks later his "friend" shanked him 7 times, shot him twice, left him for dead in an abandoned farm house, along with the supplier. ran off to mexico, never found him.
so i'm confused... was the bottom part the exageration or was the top??... because it sounds like the top was and the bottom was real... i wasn't getting on to you..i just want to know who this kid was because i've never heard of him..

the first part with the rapper-athlete was an exageration. the drug dealer was an actual real event. pretty sad actually, he got caught up in it and couldn't get out. I was really pretty upset when it happened.

I think the thread has lost its original intent. I dont see anything good about to come of it.
All peace has been spoken on the MTV Cribs issue, so closed :)
