Lil' Penny is in the building



Lil' Penny has always been in the building. My favorite basketball action figure of all-time. I had to put him up chilling on my Mac. He's such a cool dude. I'm waiting for City to come back from Magic out in Vegas to cop my reissue of the one's the Lil' man got on his feet. One of my favorites of all-time and of any collectors picks.

A little Inspiration

I Love watches and It's known that It's the most important accessory in a man's wardrobe. I don't have mine yet but I'm working on it. I want that Rolex, but a Breitling will hold me for now. My Co-Worker handed me his Breitling SuperOcean Chrono a couple weeks ago, below is a picture of It. He does that from time to time. He's a connoisseur of timepieces. When ever he say's the word movement, I laugh but I take him serious, this an knows his watches. The cheapest watch he owns is the one he works out in and thats a Polar.

Obama Newspapers/ The Rap World Conversation


Some papers that I bought. This is History I want my Children to see this, and Grandchildren.

I got home from work at about 2:30 am. I went to the Newsstand around the same time. I wanted to know when those Newspapers were coming in. The guy in the store told me at about 5:30-6:00 am. So I told him I'll be back. I went home and started messing around with the computer and my Turntables. I even watched a little Television until the early morning. The first papers I got was the New York Post and the Newsday. I waited for the Daily News and The New York Times until some later hours. I was done getting all my papers at about 9:00 am. I've seen it all in between the time that I was waiting for the paper and by the time I left. The clerk in the store was pushing papers like Crack. He started charging people anywhere between $5.00-10.00 per paper. People were going ballistic. He charged one guy $5.00 each for the Post and Daily News. The guy made himself a Coffee in the store and said "He's not paying for it, call the Cops and tell them. I don't care" It was hilarious. I've seen hundreds of people come in for the paper(s) this morning. From old to young, Black, Hispanic, White.

I got the chance to build a little bit with several people. A young man that lived about a block away from me, we had a great conversation about 90's Hip-Hop to what's going on right now. Another Brother a little bit older than us got in the conversation too, while messing with his Lottery scratch offs and waiting for his paper. The Thesis was that Music from that Golden Age was critiqued on a different level. Everything had to be hot, It was so much competition. It just forced all those Emcees of the time to be creative. No one ever used someone else's techniques to do recordings in terms of plug-ins and effects. More stories were told. The beats moved you to the point that you would rewind a song about 4-5 times in a row and that was a cassette tape. Styles were original. Even clothing was original. I miss that time in Rap, that's what I fell in Love with, the assortment of greatness. I seen Rap change and go in a different direction through the years, things have been more glamorous. Video girls getting more shine in magazines than the rappers on the tracks. I Like rap music from the East, West, and South. I should call out some names, but I'll save the specifics for a different post. Music that's out now isn't bad, It's just a different time and generation. The Internet has really took over that sector. There are still less great albums coming out every year and less honorable mentions. But that's what people like now a days. So to each its own. It's a business first and foremost. The Label executives put records out to make money and Artist do it to make money. I'm not paying there bills and there lavish lifestyles, I'm just a passionate ear listening to get a fix of sonic melodic quality. I understand recording techniques because I was trained in that area. So I know good recordings and bad ones. There are ways to make people sound good. From Vintage Microphones to Vacuum tube channel strips and following the basic principles in capturing a great recording. Get a good take and don't try to fix It in the post. Technology is vastly improving every year. So I guess more and more people are going to try to record. As a listener you just go differentiate what you like and what you want to hear.

BARACK is Living History

Patrick King aka dj Paul Kersey

It's a new day in Washington D.C. and for the rest of the United States of America. Mr. Barack Obama took his oath today and gave his Inauguration speech. He is the Official 44th President of the United States. I never taught I would see this day. I recorded it to DVR and this is going to be one of the first things I archive to some type of media. I was touched and even had some uncontrollable moisture in my eyes while watching him take his oath. Mr. President I know you have an arduous job ahead of you. Me and the other citizens in the country will have to do our part to rectify the situation. If Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was around he would of been very proud to see this moment. You definitely made part of his Dream come true. You also gave a lot of minorities like myself hope, that anything is possible with hard work. A line that my mother had remember from the time when I was a little boy probably no more than 8 years old, was from President John F. Kennedy January 20, 1961 Inaugural speech "ask not what your country can do for you, ask what you can do for your country". That Quote has been in my head for years. I always took it as take initiative and don't wait for things. On that note be sure to check out the new White House website If you haven't already done so. Take a look at the agenda.

NOTORIOUS the movie


As a Brooklyn representative to the fullest I had to check out the "Notorious" movie directed by George Tillman Jr. Starring Rapper Gravy aka Jamal Woolard as The Notorious B.I.G. and Derek Luke as P.Diddy. In my Personal opinion I thought the movie was really good. It showed the Life and times of the Late Great Brooklyn rapper Christopher Wallace. From his young days as a kid watching the older kids to the days as a man taking care of his family. I don't want to ruin it for anyone that hasn't saw the movie as of yet. But It's highly recommended If you were a Biggie Smalls fan. The Soundtrack was also great, It had to be someone like Puff behind this movie to articulate all the little details that were in this movie, all the way down to the old NYPD RMP cars that rolled up on Big in the movie. The details all the way down to the clothing and cars is what really helped in addition to the acting and strong supporting cast. Naturi Naughton as Lil' Kim and Antonique Smith as Faith Evans did a really good job. I don't want to say to much more right now. Go check the movie out where CROOKLYN at? I'm waiting for the DVD because this is a Classic.

André Joseph's Packard Coldshot Trailer #1 & Priceless

Check this trailer out. André always wanted to do films as a kid he would come from Staten Island to Brooklyn with all his props, Camera and would use, his cousin, me, and other kids from the block as his actors in his short film's. Boy I would like to see some of those, I wonder If he has any of them archived. But you could see his excitement and ambition as a kid. He was serious about his craft throughout the years. His film "Priceless" made a World Premiere in the Tribeca film festival back in October of this year. Be sure to look for the talented Writer, Director, and Actor Mr. Joseph in the near future. At the age of 25, his possibilities are endless.

Us Placers video directed by Va$htie Kola

This has been out for a little while now and is a spec video. But I have to admit when I first saw it I thought it was the real McCoy. I Loved the whole concept, very creative and well put together, It's like the video "The Sky's the Limit" by The Notorious B.I.G remixed and those little kids really favor the actual people that they were meant to portray. I think Vashtie Kola is a smart, talented, and beautiful young lady to look for now and the near future. She has a bunch of different ventures going on including her clothing line Violette. She is also one half of 1992. They are truly paying homage and representing the Original Heads in a time when Hip Hop is in great despair. We'll it depends on who you ask. I'm talking from a mature near 25 year-old perspective. Someone that Love's that Black Moon, Mobb Deep Sound, K-Def production with the Lords of the Underground. When me and brother was coming up all we wanted to do is emulate the older kids. I remember my older brother giving me his Fila headband and rocking it immediately cause it was so Hot. I'm going to find that picture. Below the video is a Picture of me and my siblings on an Easter sunday back in the 90's.

Lloyd Moore "Work of Art" De-Icer 3


This is a Hand drawing from a Co-Worker named Lloyd Moore. I scanned it for him and pieced it back together with Indesign, Because the actual drawing was large. I found it quite interesting. The detail work is excellent. I've seen some of his other work, this guy is definitely talented with his pens and markers. He works the evening shift and when he gets off he draws throughout the rest of the night till the morning. He said his apartment is like an Art studio.

The New Fashion Authority-Antenna Magazine Original Heads unofficial Mission Statement


My Partner and best friend introduced me to Antenna Magazine, so it's only right we show our readers some love. Thank you to everyone that has passed through this blog at least once. We really appreciate it and we could not have done it with out you.

That's something that I can truly respect and must say that's a void there filling right now. Music, Fashion, life, food & Politics as usual for the Original Heads. Keep the trends going Mr and Ms Setter's. I don't think anyone has ever done this, Big Shout to the whole Internet. Also look forward to Sneaker Freaker Magazine being sold on here real soon.

Plaxico in trouble with Big Blue


It's sad to see another young talented black Athlete in legal trouble again. I didn't post right away because I was listening to legal and public points that were made. Yeah Plaxico Burress broke the law, But for the most part I don't believe he is a criminal and he had intentions on hurting anyone. Thank God he only hurt himself, Otherwise he would be in more trouble than he is already in. I think he had the Glock .40 for protection. But that's what personal bodyguards and the NYPD are for, although they can't be everywhere at a given time. There's times and places in New York City when a flagrant character maybe walking in your direction. Not a soul around to help you, these are the times you may pray and hope God answers your prayers. So I can see Plaxico's position on walking around with a sidearm although he should of took measures to properly secure it. There's others at fault in this situation including the club. Most Clubs don't even want to let off-duty Police Officers in with there firearm. These are the people that go out everyday put there lives on the line to serve and protect. At the end of the day there are so many people that walk around with illegally concealed firearms, with the intentions to commit felonious acts. These people are commonly referred to by Law Enforcement as Perpetrators aka Perps. Greater efforts need to be made to Prosecute people like that and maybe citizens and Athletes might feel a little bit safer and not walk around with weapons.
