Sosua Reports

[QUOTE=Frannie; 1400535]No, I don't think it has anything to do with the "ghetto". In real life these guys are probably middle class and in gainful employment.

Actually the video must have involved quite a bit of work editing the video recordings and adding a sound track and so on, and I imagine the intention was to create something that resembles the videos that accompany gangster rap tracks to show off to their friends back home that they are enjoying the pop star lifestyle while on vacation.

Of course the irony is that the successful gangster rappers and musicians are probably spending their weekends on Tiger Wood's yacht or playing tennis at their country estates.[/QUOTE]What planet are you from? Have you ever seen a rapper play tennis? Have you ever seen Tiger Woods with rappers? Better yet do you see Tiger Woods around black people other than Michael Jordan? You are so righteous in your own mind, that it never occurs to you that you always come off judgemental, conceited and bitter.

I tried to stay out this shit because the brothers were wrong. But in reality the dudes were just having fun. Mani, I love reading your posts about the trips through the DR on the back of a fruit truck or the one where you spent a lot money partying with chicas in your past, so I know you did some wild fun shit when you were young that older people would probably shake their head at.

Everyone feels this dude got what was coming, bullshit. No one should have ti be stuck in a backward ass, third world country without any resources over a damn video that showed naked consenting adults, until they can come up with 50k.

I will go back to my other projects now, have a good day.

P. S. Hillbilly, that fred Sanford comment was hilarious. I can see the red truck pulling up to Rumba now LOL.

[quote=bliadun; 1400527]except for the case when fake cedula has been used.

this would probably will make you not liable?

as for paying chicas to make porn, what if you have a signed waiver?[/quote]if she is **** even with a fake cedula your prolly fucked either way. plus i don't believe waivers have much meaning in the dr

[QUOTE=Tempoecorto;1400360]I saw this video and will go out on a limb and ask a "dumb" question. What do some of you think is the reason for such ostentation. Is it his youth, his inexperience, his ego. His booze or as some commented on the you tube video, his black ghetto ass? From his face, he sure looked like a decent guy. As someone said here too, no foul mouthing or treating others badly. Before anyone takes it otherwise, I am a dark skinned guy but the only black folks I have known are at my Grad School. So I am curious. Would such a thing happen in any other group?[/QUOTE]I am sure it had nothing to do with being black or ghetto, its a sign of the times. Its a young man thing! Nowadays, everyone wants to be famous and with the internet, your dream can come true. Videos like these have been made for years, its just that now people can post them up on the internet for the world to see. If the guys in the videos had been in thier 40s-50s, I would be shocked, but they all look to be in their early 20s.

Absolute definition of, 'trying way too hard'.

Well, the guy who posted the video was told about 4 months ago on YouTube that it was causing a stir and he shouldn't go back. So dude appears to be a victim of his own hubris. It's all fun and games when the lax rule of law facilitates the party but it can come back to bite and dudes need to understand that. If they want to make an example of any one of us they can and whatever legal expectations you have in your country do not apply. Mongering is tolerated not encouraged and whenever mongers get too visible there is usually blowback.

It happened in Rio when certain mongers started overstepping the boundaries. Whenever the weekend ballas take over a spot the drama usually goes up.

They get too comfortable and become easy marks.

I do stand by my comment about the dude in the bow tie acting like a dick though, and by no means think that acting like a dick deserves punishment.

[QUOTE]Have you ever seen Tiger Woods with rappers? Better yet do you see Tiger Woods around black people other than Michael Jordan?[/QUOTE]Who knows who Tiger Woods hangs out with? His yacht is named "Privacy". When he was a happily married man the general public certainly didn't know he was hanging out with strippers and waitresses, because his PR was strictly controlled and he maintained his privacy.

But my point is, it's the same with rappers. It is just a stage name and an image for public consumption, that is probably no reflection on their private lives. Anyone can pick a stage name like R Soul and put an act on the road (if they have the talent and ability.) Of course people act wild and every other word is "fuck","*****", or "hoe" when they are in their stage persona or appearing for promotional spots, but it would be rather naive to think that they behave that way at home around their own parents or their own children.

I'm still not clear precisely what these guys in the video did wrong and I think I have seen most of the video, painful though it is to watch.

Not sure I buy the "just having fun" thing. Someone went to quite a bit of trouble to film, edit, and put together the video and publish it, no doubt selecting what they wanted to show and leaving out what they wanted to leave out, so it is a deliberate artefact, not a completely spontaneous thing.

[QUOTE=Lazy Monger;1400652]Mongering is tolerated not encouraged and whenever mongers get too visible there is usually blowback.[/QUOTE]I agree with this statement 100%.

[QUOTE=Hillbilly69;1400653]It ain't Cmo-Cakes that got in trouble it is a different dude in the video.[/QUOTE]Cmo-Cakes is probably still going to steer clear of the DR after his boy relayed to him what went down. The guy that got locked up probably had to name names of all the other guys in the video and after they got $50k out of him, they probably have Cmo-Cakes and all the other guys in the video's passports flagged in case they every re-enter the DR.

I guess you couldn't find a video of a rapper playing tennis, but I understand that you will never admit that you are wrong.

We know who Tiger Woods hangs out with, white people never rapper's. Also with rappers its all about street cred, so if they ever went to the country club it could make them look phony. Sure they can live in mansions in exclusive neighborhoods and drive bentleys, but. Those are just the products of hard work in their eyes.

Mani, my point is that when you were young that you had your share of fun that older peiple didn't understand. Shit! You do crazy / fun shit that would scare the shit out of me. Riding in the back of a fruit truck through the DR.

OK I read back 3 pages and couldn't get an explanation of whats going on. I am assuming that the guy in the video was arrested and charges were pressed and some chica is demanding 50K to have the charges dropped?

This was clearly a well orchestrated set up involving a huge payday for The Fiscal, and all lawyers involved, the girls are lucky to get RD10K Pesos out of this.

I agree with this thought.

Don't get me wrong. Absolutely no one deserves that type of treatment and rainbows should have a pot of gold at the end of them and I should be able to buy rotisserie chicken without having half of it covered in flies when I go to the chicken man. Hey the world ain't perfect nor fair, the guys needed a vet to show the ropes / do's & don'ts however in retrospect my momma always said a hard head makes a soft ass.

Local guys in DR are not your friends cuzz your such a great guy and someone to look up to, like a hero. No they want some of your crumbs to spill over on them on the off chance he does nothing for your or hangs around long enough that you tip him. First and for-most he is look for an opportunity to improve his situation, cuzz between me and you, your doing ok. In the Caribbean sipping a Cuba libre at merengue bar after banging a chick 30 min ago in your room at NG. Protect yo'self at all times.

Respect, common sense and with will take a person a long way

Peace,
