Kevin Beacham Background Check (The Vaults Series): Knick Knacks PT 1
Deviating from "Gadgets" for a bit, I'm now showing some "Knick Knacks". There's Hip Hop Promo stuff, childhood memory weirdness, and a host of other things in life. I think the highlight in this piece is DJ Disco Snoopy a.k.a "The Flyest Snoopy I Know..."
About This Series:
"If you don't know the history of the author, you don't know what you're reading"-KRS 1
That above quote has always been one of my favorite KRS lines. It rings with a lot of truth. That in mind, I've been doing a lot of writing lately and working on a few different books and other research projects, so I figured now would be a great time to allow people to look inside the mental and physical vaults of Kevin Beacham.
Expect to see cool stuff, trivial things, weird stuff that no one will have no idea why I kept, and more proof, as if it was needed, that I'm eccentric, to say the least... Will this amount of nerd-etry invite public ridicule or elevate my cool status? Time will tell, I'm mentally prepared for both... :)
Plan to drop one a day over the next week and then go record the next series...
