just pulled the trigger

Now, I be poppin' game on the bitches 'cause they know
A pimp type nigga's on the mothafuckin' flow
So, drop it off, ho, and I'ma go up in your bag
And if you talk sh!t, you'll get a foot up in your ass
See fuck niggas fake, and players stay strong
See, pimpin' ain't dead, 'cause this sh!t is going on
Be careful when you're rollin' through my mothafuckin' set
'Cause if you ain't strapped, your stupid ass gonna jet
And I bet I got some things for you pussy ass niggas
Perpetrate, like you're hard, and you never touched the trigger
But you figure you're the sh!t, just because you wanna fight
But step to the Killa, and your ass just might take flight
'Cause I'm tired of the mothafuckin' fusion
So pass me the Glock for the fuckin' execution
A pimp type nigga, 'cause I gotta be real
You gotta come hard, unless you want to be killed
But you still want to play like a mothafuckin' ho
So now it's time I rush your ass to the fuckin' floor
I ain't playin', what I'm sayin' mothafucka, is for real
You're gonna fuck around, and get your mothafuckin' cap peeled

Pimp nigga, Killa B, the mothafuckin' cap peeler
Squee-squee-squeeze the trigger

I spit mothafuckin' lyrics from my windpipe
Fuckin' niggas up when it's time to fill their head like
Rollin' through the Mound with a half a pint of yak
Then I call my nigga E for a nice out jack
Make a move, brother, stomp, plus a course of 8Ball
I got the Glock in the glove for your niggas stupid car
A pimp with a bitch, so mothafuck a ho
I got bitches sellin' ass from Tennessee to Chicago
Cali and New York, and all the seven seas
(Do pimps eat pussy?) Man, nigga, please
I kick it like a champ, I thought you niggas knew it
If you got a mission to accomplish, then just do it
A nigga doin' wrong, but I'm still about the right things
Sold a little dope, but I never had to gangbang
Hang on my roadies, peepin' game in the clip
And one in the chamber for you niggas on the creep tip
Bitches on my dick, 'cause they know this sh!t is thick
And niggas in the mental, fatal shots to the temple
So, see, it's quite simple for a nigga that's for real
Don't step to the killer, or else you'll get your fuckin' cap peeled

You like the chest zips where you get to perform an extra zipper threading vs just pulling it across once the head/neck gasket is on???

:shrug: :shrug: :shrug:
No. I said it was annoying. Still a better suit than 90% of other OTR suits imo. And I don’t fucks with zippers at all. It’s 2024. mine are zipperless

Anyone tried the new seas Vissla vzip suit
I have one. Its the best entry of any suit. Reminds me of the Axxe wetsuit I used to have. My only issue with it is I'm between sizes and the one I got is a tad big. Still works but a little loose in the legs. Water tends to make its way up my ankles if I'm doing a feet first eject.

Anyone liking the Matuse TUMO 3/2? They are $300 right now. I may pull the trigger on this or an Isurus 3/2 thats on sale. I love my zipperless 2mm Isurus

Anyone know why zipperless entries went away in the 90s?
I don't think the neoprene that was available was up to the task. I had a few from O'Neill in the mid to late 90's while I was getting flow from them ("marketing pro" on all my packing slips, lowest tier I would believe). They worked pretty well for a month or two and then the material would just stop going back to its original shape and would get distorted. I was on some weird navy suit trip back then and the zip-free panels would quickly take on a purplish hue with all sorts of weird stretch marks.

My three Isurus zip-frees are holding up well. This Spring will be my third in my 2mm short arm.

I know your decision has been made but owning both brands the only advantage the matuse has (IMO) is that is dries faster. The isurus seems more flexible and warmer.

Surprisingly, the zipperless entry shows zero signs of wear on it's second season. Was skeptical at first but at this point would definitely buy the entry from them again.

Edit: I would pay full price for an isurus before getting another matuse, even at a sale price

yeah I haven’t had a full season in the isurus 2mil but it’s by far my favorite suit. So lightweight. I feel like it dries pretty damn fast, usually in about 3 hrs with a fan on it. I’m tripping out that it’s rated down to 52. That seems crazy. I might cook in this new 3/2

I had a matuse hoplite when they firsts came out that was a great suit for about a season. Then the seams in the chest started separating. Had I fixed a few times until I just gave up on it. It didn’t have the taped seams like now if I recall correctly

Update: 2mm full bought 1/19/22. , about 12-15 months after started peeling at butt area but no leaks. Also a weird yellow fuzz collecting in various area , some can be seen in pic.

Correction: Fuzz I’ve seen before in other suits, but not the peeling. Is the peeling considered normal wear for that time frame?

Looks like compaction or abrasion. Are those where your sit bones would be?

the only time I’ve gotten that is on suits that were slightly too small and stretched (xcels).

DO you feel like it is much easier on the shoulders for paddling? I'm in scotland, Won a voucher in the board upcycling contest and looking for a new winter suit so its between the v zip and the northseas suit 5/4 hooded.

Yes, it’s where I sit. Suit is a good fit

If it’s normal wear then I would get another….looking for a new 2 or 3/2 for spring.
