So we're at the Doubletree hotel in Dallas; not the best but by No Means the worst hotel you can stay at. So imagine RZA's surprise when he sees a roach as big as two thumbs in his room. Yes, that big. Plus homie was pimp-walkin' across the carpet, actin' like he belonged there, so Tamika does the logical: she calls security on 'im.
No, for real.
So security shows up, thinkin' a hysterical chick is gonna be there, and when RZA opens the door, the guy is like, "whoa." Not only is it Not an overreactin' chick, it's a Big Dude, who happens to be the RZA. Anyway: homeboy recovers, comes in and looks around; of course by now Mr. Roach has decamped. . .so the security guy thinks RZA was bullsh#!ttin' or something. Before things get to a fever pitch, he glances over and sees the chessboard set up on the side table. "Oh you play chess? I been playin' for 16 years!" RZA bein' RZA replies, "So let's go." Halfway through the chessboxin', the roach came out from under the bed, like "What, what." The security cat was like "Oh, ok. . .thought y'all were bulls#!tt!n, but there really was a situation up in here." The roach was still tryin' to get brolic, talkin' about "I got next," but caught a quick two sprays instead, and that was that.
PS: of course RZA won the game. You know how we get down.
This is makin' its rounds through the Internet, and Oh Man. . .special ranks to my man J.Cob and the superincredible in every way Eternia, who were the first to put me up on this. Peep the All-Time Most Gangster Video On YouTube EVER:
