what i learned from hot 97's summer jam 2008

RE: CRED
claim to be the "first," "best," "only" of something and repeat it many, many times. even if no one else does, you will begin to believe you. and having the right attitude is half the battle. also, fireworks help...a lot.

RE: BEING HUSTLED
a) stay away from 3-card monte
b) don't stand near the trash. that's asking for it.
c) nothing is free
d) "show me what you got" = "hand me your money"

RE: LEGAL ADVICE
the smartest lawyers set up booths at summer jam and have raffles where they give away tv sets. you WILL get a steady stream of visitors.

RE: LADIES CLOTHING
they really need to stop making mini-skirts and daisy dukes in plus sizes.

RE: DRINKING
when you see a dude selling something called NUTCRACKERs, for $5, out of a cooler:
a) do not ask what is in it.
b) know that there is no taste-testing
c) accept the fact that you might be drinking cough syrup and/or roofies.

it wasn't until today that i learned this:

THE NUTCRACKER
made popular in 2000 through barbershops and grocery stores in washington heights.

Ingredients:
1 bottle smirnoff watermelon vodka
1 bottle southern comfort (although one guy was real class and substituted with hennessey)
12 oz can pineapple juice
hawaiian punch (add according to taste)
1 bottle each amaretto and grenadine (optional)
