Definition of it – Tricking Example 1
Reading time: 2 – 3 minutes
Sometimes I come across a picture that only says one word, not a thousand; just one! TRICKING. When I saw this picture of a Gucci laced Fiat I thought to myself they finally have crossed. When I was coming up there was a Eddie Bauer Ford Explorer but I mean WTF is Eddie Bauer besides some outdoor clothing. But, when you get the Gucci, Louis V and Prada cats taking it to the cars it almost makes you laugh. When I was coming up cats would try to do this by theirselves and we all knew it was fake but in this new age of tricking we have a shitty car mixed with a useless brand coming together to form the Definition of Tricking!
I’ve seen those little ass chauncey Fiats on the street and at best they are like the Volkswagen Bugs that a 16 year old girl would drive. If I had a daughter I would cosign that little car for her but I still wouldn’t cosign the Gucci sponsorship. I know one of you fvck boys or fvck girls are thinking “Freeman Gucci is Italian and Fiat is Italian” so why not. Well let me school you on luxury a bit my youngin. When Bentley has special leather they don’t let the leather company put their logo on the car because the car is better than the dumb fvck making the seats. What the Trick/Sucker punk motherfvcker never understands about money is quality is measured in the main product not the damn rims or leather interior.
I know I educated a couple of you cats today and that was why this was written. I don’t mind when you get your money right that you enjoy what you think are the finer things in life. Some cats think these names mean quality and you’ll have a house full of name brand shit. You look like a Trick to me but who am I? Most likely I wouldn’t roll with the cat who sponsors more shit than Nascar anyway. But, make sure when you see the Owners coming together to make a con even bigger that you fall back. This is no different than a Jack Daniels meal at Outback Steakhouse that costs you 20 bucks or your Beats by Dre headphones that set you back 200 BUT, this Fiat/Gucci mix might set you back 30G’s and you’ll still be riding bitch in this game homie!

Even though tricking is alive & well in this country, and will NEVER go away, hopefully some of our people who subscribe to your site will wake up to the Game.
Everyone ain’t gonna get saved tho. Some of these tricks We just gonna havta charge to the Game.
Education & Exposure is the key. Someone has to point out the dangers to the children to this game. Without it they’ll eat candy all day and have rotten teeth. So although we have a lot of cats absorbing on the R&G everyonce in a while I have to point at something specific and say NO! So they can go about their life and realize no matter how much a Sucker says he wants my boy will never be a Sucker with them.
Again Education & Exposure… everyone ain’t gonna get saved but for the ones I can save I’m sure they’ll appreciate it later in life.
This doesn’t even surprise me anymore. This is just a result of the show off society we live in. When I was in high school, everyone was all about name brand this and name brand that. I look around and things still haven’t changed with a majority of people.It’s like people still keep this high school mentality where they think what designer they wear or what model car they drive or what brand surround sound system they have is what matters the most in this world. And it’s nothing you can tell these dudes that they are being played. It’s like the ultimate brainwash. Being a trick is cool. Giving up your hard earned dollars to somebody richer than you is cool. It used to be the rich get richer the poor get poorer, because the rich kept the poor people poor. It’s not like that anymore. The game is flipped. It’s still the rich get rich, the poor get poorer, but now the poor are keeping themselves in that situation. Tricking, not saving, not investing, “hyperconsumerism,” and not being educated. Everything you say what not to do on the R&G, poor people do, and the sad thing about it is…they are proud of doing it.
Oh Freeman we women see this nonsense all the time, Missoni for Target, Versace for H&M. Years ago I bought a pair of rain boots that were pricey but good quality and built to last ( it rains a lot in Seattle). The short boots were $115, the tall boots are $125, and built to last, well a couple of years ago the company partnered up with Jimmy Choo. The came out with a faux snake skin tall boot ( these are rubber boots), the price was $400 just because it was a Jimmy Choo design. Same boot different design and they did not feel as solid as the original boots, so more expensive, flashier design and lesser quality. Needless to say I will stick to the original that I have had for 5 yrs and going strong.
This is smart for the OWNER of the brands but foolish for the consumer to purchase.
I have a friend that I hooked up with my liquor rep so that Hennesey is sponsoring her birthday party at my club.
The rep sells her product, the birthday girl gets the hype, and I make more money without having to buy liquor.
@ TK The Missoni/Target and Versace/H&M campains were geared towards those who cannot afford to by the Couture items.
Kind of like designer perfumes/colognes. Most people can afford $100 to smell nice and so that they can boast of a brand while most cannot afford a $3,000 coat from either brand. It’s a campain of ‘saturation” (selling as many items as possible) instead of one of ‘destination” (selling one or two very highly-priced items). These companies are smart – the consumers were the dumb ones.
I agree with you all. People love being tricks. We will buy the latest clothes, cars, etc….but complain about the price of a book. What’s cool about giving my money to strangers? I thought our parents taught us not to talk or take candy from strangers. I guess we forgot.
@RC – Hey hey hey just don’t blame it on the poor as middle class cats have this tricking thing down cold. How many cats are driving Mercedes Benz S550 with a 50K job on these streets right now? How many cats lost their McMansion during this recession? It wasn’t the poor but the middle. Tricking is classless and it attaches to the so called educated with a vengeance. The middle does it to show off to each other while the poor do it to not feel poor. Same tricking different reasons..
Like I said Education & Exposure as most of these cats think this is what life is about. No one has introduced the proper way to see money and how to stack it to be rich. Even I wore my friends gold chain in elementary school to look and feel rich. There is a core reason for most people tricking nature so we have to find that out more than jump on them. I just saw this Fiat and thought this is the icing on the cake when it comes to Tricking. A car with a designer cosign is just funny as all damn to me.
@TK – Yeah I know it rains too much there and that’s why I live in Sunny Southern California so I don’t lose my melanin or my Vitamin D! LOL
The way you beat tricking is to get the item exactly for what its supposed to b e for. You bought your boots because they were quality and it rains alot. They tricked their boots to feel good and show other people what they have. Women seem to have this wanting to show other women up angle worse than any man. I know women who feel bad or ugly when they don’t have the things they need.
@UBJ – I agree, and the R&G is definitely to build the owner mentality. This is a con but when you see it in action you have to smile at it’s execution and even it’s attempt. If I could get Gucci to cosign my party and make cats pay 200 at the door I would do it too. Not only would I make money but it’s my party and the whole thing is free. One Helluva Promotion!
@AH – A lot of people have lose self esteem. These things that they trick on make them who they are. That’s why they don’t listen or want to read to build. What can a book offer to a person who wants people to notice them? So, there will always be Customers and Suckers we just have to emancipate those around us and then proceed to build our own businesses to make money off the tricks. I just put this out here for my folk who are building so we can spot a con and then learn the game.
…just came from a store run to get honey mustard salad dressing.
The Paula Dean “select” brand was $3.78.
The store brand was $1.64
You already know….lol
Aww bruh you didn’t get the one where the fat white lady stuck her fat finger into it and made it super spicy? Now dont’ get me wrong some things are better quality but most of the time it’s not worth 200% more for better quality.
@uglyblackjohn, why do people who can’t afford designer need a designer name?This is classic show and blow, show everyone that you can blow money in things you can’t afford. And those Target and H&M clothes were not that cheap still $100+ for a mass produced dress, and a lot more than what target charges. It’s still a suckers game, so we need to learn to capitalize on it.
@ TK – “STATUS”
It’s what drives us all.
Some set their own standard for it while others rely on the media to determine ‘what’ is desirable.
“It’s still a sucker’s game, so we need to learn to capitalize on it.” – I think that was the point of the post (To be the owner of the product selling it to the sucker.).
Now why would Gucci give their name to such a crappy car? I mean i have driven Fiats before and to be honest its like driving a soda can with wheels. Like freeman said they added the Gucci name so that they can charge more money for a sub-standard product. My thing is that they must have paid Gucci a lot of money to use their name. Maybe its because the economy is so bad in Italy that they are desperate for cash.
man people are crazy to buy headphones ranging from $100 to $350 and a lot of these people who buy these headphones are trend followers or their trying to look cool and guess you can also say feel important.
@G71 – Well where there’s a Sucker there’s a scam to be had. I think they are a bit too late since the Recession has slowed down a lot of tricking but it’s worth a try when you have J-Lo cosigning that little car. Gucci and Fiat are Italian so maybe in Italy it’s like the marriage between Cadillac and Harley Davidson. Maybe to us here in the USA Gucci means a lot but maybe in Italy it’s like Wrangler… I don’t know!
@OD – The game is set up to make you feel special by wearing something or having something …. instead of being something. Where’s there’s a Sucker there is a way… a way to take money out of their pocket.
