$V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:34 (twenty-one years ago)

Is it like 24' rims?

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

And what's the significance of the "13" tattoo in "Pretty fly for a white guy"?

mark grout (mark grout), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:37 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah it's rims.

N_RQ, Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:38 (twenty-one years ago)

probably 24", not 24' - unless they're on some serious monster truck shit.

peter smith (plsmith), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:40 (twenty-one years ago)

So what are 24 rims? I must know.

$V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:41 (twenty-one years ago)

i was gonna GIS for you steve, but thought better of googling 'rims'.

N_RQ, Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:42 (twenty-one years ago)

Oh shit. I'm going to have to write a rap about 24-foot rims now.

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:43 (twenty-one years ago)

Goddamn! I just found out a set of Giovanna rims costs more than $1300!!!

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 12:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Why rims? I don't get why they chose rims to be so infatuated with? Seems arbitrary. Like bragging about having 2,500 dollar pure platnum arm rests with marilyn monroes ground up bones in it, or a white dove dipped in a precious metal only found on one of Mars's moons, with a long lost Picasso painting in the trunk.

$V£N!, they're 24 inch rims. As in, the part of the wheel that the tire fits on is 24" in diameter.

Now I have a question. In "Big Pimpin'", wtf are B.L.A.D.s? I'm sure I'm just mishearing it.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 12 May 2005 13:35 (twenty-one years ago)

Maybe B.L.A.P.s?

When Jigga says "Go read a book you illiterate son of a bitch and step up your vocab", I feel like he's talking to me.

roxymuzak (roxymuzak), Thursday, 12 May 2005 13:40 (twenty-one years ago)

is there a hiphop dictionary out there, somewhere for all the illiterate like us ?

I met the guys that run Dub Magazine at a car show in Miami...it was crazy! They showed me Shaq's Superman hummer....it had a superman logo in the grill!

the cars were fantastic...Also, I didn't realise that Latrell Spreewell was like the "johnny appleseed" of car rims and customizing...the Dub guys talked about him like he was a god.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 12 May 2005 14:40 (twenty-one years ago)

I know the couple on that website AleXTC! They're great guys.

$V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 12 May 2005 14:48 (twenty-one years ago)

well, they seem great !
as is their site !

AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 12 May 2005 14:58 (twenty-one years ago)

That site is "off da chain!" Raise the roof yo!

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:02 (twenty-one years ago)

the pictures/comments kill me... (like the pictionary one...).

AleXTC (AleXTC), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:08 (twenty-one years ago)

So what are the advantages of 24" rims?

$V£N! (blueski), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:14 (twenty-one years ago)

If you can look at that picture at do not immediately understand the advantage, we cannot help you.

Austin Still (Austin, Still), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:17 (twenty-one years ago)

When I was in Miami in March, I saw an old Caddy with 26s. And the guy had a decal in the window saying 26s in case you didn't know.

Candicissima (candicissima), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:22 (twenty-one years ago)

26s!!! jesus!

j blount (papa la bas), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:25 (twenty-one years ago)

WTF? Did the decal actually say "26s in case you didn't know"? because that would be awesome.

Hurting (Hurting), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:29 (twenty-one years ago)

It just said "26s" in a big dookie-type font

Candicissima (candicissima), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:49 (twenty-one years ago)

In LA, there's some place that has "rent-to-own" rims with like financing and lease options!

Spencer Chow (spencermfi), Thursday, 12 May 2005 15:57 (twenty-one years ago)

right down the street from me is a shop called "Cells n Wheels", which is just so hilariously perfect.

matt, sometimes spinners are called "Sprees", in reference to Latrell.

()ops (()()ps), Thursday, 12 May 2005 16:12 (twenty-one years ago)

matt, sometimes spinners are called "Sprees", in reference to Latrell.

yeah they told me that! Maybe he should quit basketball and concentrate on rims fulltime after this shit season he had fer me T-Wolves.

Also: at the same car show I saw the worldwide debut of 28s!!! They were fricking huge.

M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Thursday, 12 May 2005 16:15 (twenty-one years ago)

>So what are the advantages of 24" rims?<

Umm, they look cool? This is not about practicality.

(This reminds me of the thread a few years back where people complained about how Nelly wearing one sleeve of his jersey was impractical)

What are these "s dots" Mr. Jay-Z seems to bring up in every single song since like 2002. Are they Shawn Carter shoes or something?

isn't that just from his nickname "S-dot", which I think derived from "S. Carter"

"Now I have a question. In "Big Pimpin'", wtf are B.L.A.D.s? I'm sure I'm just mishearing it.
-- roxymuzak"

I'm pretty sure he's talking about "blades" and just leaves the E off. Blades is another word for rims as in Lil Troy's "Baller, shot caller, 20 inch blades on the Impala."

J.D. Forgang (Jonathan Forgang), Thursday, 12 May 2005 18:57 (twenty-one years ago)

yeah, these are wheels with "blades" as spokes.

(sarcasm was meant to further have fun with the "whiteness" theme, not to mock Jay-Z.)

Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 13 May 2005 02:14 (twenty-one years ago)

So, I was reading last month's Complex (fave magazine! hire me, hire me please! *ahem*) and there was a mini-article about "donk" cars. To quote: "A donk is any early- to mid 1970s Chevrolet Impala or Caprice...replace the axle tips with those from an H2 Hummer, rejigger the suspension so it sits on 28s(!), chrome and tune the engine to within an inch of its life, and upgrade the interior to resemble your fantasy doodle car from the ninth grade. It's not unusual for a tricked out donk to break the $80K mark and feature every over the top accessory in the free world."

The pics are nuts because it's like monster truck wheels on a granddad car. Which is what that Caddy on 26s I saw looked like.

Candicissima (candicissima), Friday, 13 May 2005 05:39 (twenty-one years ago)

I was not aware of that. But apparently it looks something like this:

Hurting (Hurting), Friday, 13 May 2005 05:50 (twenty-one years ago)

I didn't think 28s were possible.

Tracer Hand (tracerhand), Friday, 13 May 2005 06:36 (twenty-one years ago)

okay now that i like.

$V£N! (blueski), Friday, 13 May 2005 08:46 (twenty-one years ago)

re: 13 tattoo -- it's the name of a gang.
Sometimes you will see 13 scrawled on public surfaces.
I think it is a hispanic gang primarily, but not sure about that.

unsure, Friday, 13 May 2005 16:38 (twenty-one years ago)

blades refer to brabus monoblock IIs, semi-specifically. and to copycat wheels from other companies that created them when the real thing was too expensive-- and the original only went up to 19". that's that bun was talking about.

in case it comes up 84s are the wheel they're talking about in still tippin (still tippin on four '4s wrapped in four vogues) and every other houston rap song ever. they're wire wheels that came from the factory on early 80s buicks and cadillacs. you've got 82s, 83s, and 84s, not referring to years but just design numbers. 84s are the rarest.
