Asante Samuel tattoo was not "Get Paid"...

[Franchise12]

his tattoo reads "Get rich to this" which means.. have a better understanding of who I am and what I do. how in the hell does does a "professional" like jackie come up with get "paid". I swear jackie, shaugnessey and the rest of the wine and cheese, silver spoon yuppies need to stick to reporting the redsox and stop cooking up stories about a sport thats waaaay over their heads.

 

[JoeSixPat]

Hmmm - so does that mean there's no truth to the rumor that ManJudas has a "666" tattoo on the top of his head?

There is a longstanding syndrome in the Globe editorial offices of writers/reporters who believe that good writing trumps the facts. This has been proven time and again by people like Barnicle, Borges, et al. Speaking as a professional journalist myself, it makes me sick. I haven't purchased a copy of the Globe in at least two years, probably longer.

Also, Gnarls Barkely has only been around for about 2 years. Cee Lo should be the name mentioned here.

Re: Took long enough to get this cleared up. (again)

The real question is why get a phrase/song title tattooed on you several years after it's relevant/recorded?

Phrases are always relevant if they mean something to you. (I did it my way, Somewhere over the rainbow, etc etc)

(Thank goodness I don't still have the same haircut I had in college!)

I've been working this do since I was like 5.

We talked about this back in July when the ESPN interview was printed.

yeah, but it looks like it was addressed and specifically written in a full length article in the BH only today. Great opportunity for fans like me - who missed the July thread - to feel sorry about how we thought bad of AS.

No, it comes down to a technicality. Mangina's got a "666" on one of the labia majora and a pentagram on the other. But they're not tattoos, more of a branding or growth.

Put me in the camp that believed what I had read. And somehow I managed to miss the discrediting here when it was first posted, too.

 

[Dragda]

Ummm. . . . it was a what by whom when he was with which??!!!

And I thought *I* was old and out of touch.

Sadly, I think that tatoo is accurate.

 

[kinky]

I think Jackie misread the 'L' as a 'P' when she saw the tattoo ...

 

[bradmahn]

Yeah, it's not exactly a gold star for young Mr. Samuel to be so deeply moved by lines like...

Might step outside and might catch me a floozie
Some loozy double-stitched hoochie
Y'all chase records while we chase coochie

...that he had to immortalize them on his body. But he was a green young lad at the time. In fact, this is the reason I've never been tempted by tattoos. What's the chances that my tastes will stay the same for the rest of my life? (Thank goodness I don't still have the same haircut I had in college!)

Substitute 'coochie' with 'championships' and I think it fits this team perfectly.

 

[Remix 6]

I think Jackie misread the 'L' as a 'G' when she saw the tattoo ...

i think shes just terrible in general

 

[He Ban Me]

Was it "Get Laid"??

 

[BradyBetterThanZorn?]

I'm gettin' a tattoo of a favourite song of mine in honour of the Starland Vocal Band: "Grab Some Afternoon Delight".

Gee, thanks for sharing. The english language is crying!

And my ears are hurting, just from reading it.

Here are the lyrics, and "Gnarls Barkley" didn't rap them. Cee-Lo, one half of Gnarls Barkley, did, along with the rest of the Goodie Mob and Outkast's Big Boi.

Goodie Mob "Get Rich To This"

We peel out sideways (get rich to this)
We do a hundred on the highways (get rich to this)
Thank God for Friday's (get rich to this)
Hey hey hey hey!! (get rich to this)
We peel out sideways (get rich to this)
We do a hundred on the highways (get rich to this)
Thank God for Friday's (get rich to this)
Say say say say!! (get rich to this)

[Backbone]
It'll be all slipp-ery, slick wid it
Automatically ? I'm the **** wid it
I'm psyched out, Sic-Wid-It
like E-40 and The Click wid it
He sucker MC better know about it
I make your girlfriend hoe about it
I make a muh'f@$*a know about it;
somebody better tell him
**** it back, hit a lick wid it
Keep it workin drop a brick wid it
Off the block, serve a nig wid it
Whip a brand new whip wid it
Apartment flow, you ain't know?
Look here lil girl it come equipped wid it
She freaky deaky lick her lips wid it
She thick thick wid it
Jump, stump, twist wid it
Make em make em make em scrap wid it
Tear da club up, champagne campaign wid it
Party people do your thang wid it
I get to it y'all;
I get the funds then I split wid it
A natural born money maker nitty-grit wid it
Ha? I get rich y'all

Chorus

[Cee-Lo]
Ha.. boy I done bought D's wid dis
Big bout-it Benz car keys wid dis
Condos in the Cancun summer breeze wid dis
And you know, doin good fo' sho'
I'm gettin rich too hollerin out Calhoun know
Nigga; nickeled and dimed and did dirt for dis
Do a show and sweat up my good shirt for dis
Snap back to toast I'll haveta hurt for dis
So when I get me a lil' bit I'ma wear my s#%t
and if I lose it, I ain't gon' cry about it
I ain't no dummy god damnit I ain't about to die about it
But f%#k wid me though, I'll let a few fly about it
Don't test me boy, because I about it!
So I'm the major money maker, motherf#%k these niggaz
Keep yo' eyes on amounts, accounts and some bankers
Get high, get fly, til you get it, gettin by
Don't switch get krunk get drunk get rich

[T-Mo]
From the bottom to the top now it's hot; keepin it heated
People about to see they chasin after cash in the ass
Suckers crash on the blast from the past
Goodie Mo.B. Backbone and OutKast, whatchu think this was, black?
Take your sorry ass watch me blow, turnin my lyrics in the flow
This is how it go, and it go, perfect picture paintin
Million dollar hold in the Cascade, in the shade
Well I'se gon' get paid to dis, and find a wife to dis
I'm bout to cut, like a knife to dis
and find dat, and find dat, top top, we get rich to dis, yeah!

Chorus

[Big Boi]
The Goodie they call me, they wanted a player to bust to this
I'm takin this thang, slow slow motion just can't rush with this
We all in the family, what have we, I think we done found a freak hoe
People all in my wallet hopin to frolic we gon' see hoe
just hold up; you know my pockets swoll up
I'ma let you suck my d%#k to meet your quota
and you're fine, kinda shorter
But I made this money before you got a Toyota and Explorer
And when I'm off in the mall gettin fresh, I'm gon' ignore ya
Look at the earrings, the gold chains, the diamonds around my neckpiece
The leather suede snake Elizabeth all up on my left B
Hoe look at all these emeralds and these rubies and my gold teeth
Thinkin a nigga spiritual tryin to build but you don't know me
See there's more than meets the ear so we can ball that's if we chose to
Move back I'm droppin the top and yes it's mine and gul it's new too

[Khujo]
Sign yo' grill wid dis
Canary yellow bowlin ball silk drawers wid dis
Crushed velvet diamond cut, y'all get wreck wid dis

[Gipp]
Tonight, Gipp get woozy
Might step outside and might catch me a floozie
Some loozy double-stitched hoochie
Y'all chase records while we chase coochie

[Kuhjo]
The realest Down South hot two, in your face like kabuki
Get krunk, don't be no lame brain top bankhead
Props, I'm prayin wid dis

[Gipp]
Boys on the ave, flood shots to dis
Girls in the club flirt out to dis
State your name baby and get rich to dis

Thanks for pointing this out, as I had to in the past thread on the subject. Asante claims to have a Gnarls Barkley tattoo but doesn't even know that song is by the goodie mob? You'd think someone who so loved the song would at least know it's origin.

How do you know he doesn't? In that same article it does mention I believe it says Gnarls Barkley did the song with goodie mob...maybe the author of the article got it wrong...just as Jackie got the tattoo wrong.

 

[fourthandmiles]

Where is the tattoo? She obviously did not see it first hand. Sounds like this should have been reported on Patriots All Acess.

Maybe she should have one on her ass that says "I did it MY WAY"
