I don't believe I stated anything like this is how they are end of discussion. This was my experience with them during the specified times. That is all. Take it as what it is. Originally post was Kobe saying he doesn't have friends. In a two year period with a flood of famous types and none famous types of varying…

Never did business with Kobe. Our social circles casually intersected for a brief 18-24 month window when he was fresh to LA. And our interaction was not overly extensive. after he became Kobe his circle drastically changed for obvious reasons. Many years later we'd end up residing in the same Newport Coast community,…

Actually I ran teams in 12 markets which were tasked with not just visual sniping. Was a regional for one label, was tasked with meeting with national buyers for Wherehouse Music, Sam Goody, Tower Records et.la. Kept dossier on the on air talents as well as the PD's likes and preferences for all the urban and…

First time I met Shaq he was attempting to exit an extremely tiny single stall restroom on the A&M lot. He had killed the bathroom and was now wedged in by the door/toilet/sink set up, I was standing waiting my turn in desperate need to a pee and trying not to laugh.

Perfect.

I write and live for your approval.

Incase you don't read the other comments here I'll repost this.

I love how important this is to you.

Shaq arrives in LA in 96, wants to be a megastar aside form just best NBA center. Movies, music, clothing. Remember "Steel" & "Kazaam". Lots of NBA guys around this time are trying to be rappers. Kobe would later do that awful album with a song from Tyra Banks. Shaq wants o have his own label, not just be part of the…

I described one thing about a working and casual interaction that spanned four years. I find that funny that you are quite hung up on a phrase and seem to require me knowing and agreeing that my use of that phrase doesn't meet your preferred use of said phrase. You are the epitome of an Internet commenter and I salute…

Two faced is being one way in public and another opposite way in private. You can take that as what it is. With Kobe you knew he was at the least comfortable being Kobe, generally an ass. With Shaq you saw this wonderful public guy who behind the scenes was constantly working at maintaining and elevating that. If you…

Total bullshit indeed. Because my anonymous burner account somehow gets me acclaim.

Yes Kobe Bryant goes to clubs in sweats. Just like he used to go to Sunset strip clubs in shorts and caps.

Then don't fuckin read it.

I'm claiming in 1997 1998 and parts of 1999, the biggest face in LA was Shaq and for whatever reason no matter what the engagement he required one of his street teams to be present. The night we met at A&M to possibly get the gig with his newly formed label, every single street team in LA was present and every single…

I had some interesting interactions with Kobe and Shaquille. In '96 my friends and I started our company, a marketing company dealing in music and expanding into clothing, movies and the like. Kobe is nine months younger than I so we are both well under 21 at this point. Tha Alkaholiks had befriended us and through…

It is difficult though to walk the walk when you have misplaced a jar of instant coffee up your ass.

Fuck these people in their stupid faces. As a parent to a 5 year old and twin 7 month olds this sucks. My 5 year old has every shot imaginable. Even shots I don't agree with like Hep B at birth, which for the record, I agree with a HepB vaccine, just not to a baby with two parents without HepB and no risk for engaging…

I don't really think your house burglary analogy works. First the Internet is more like an ocean or sea with a giant overlap of international bodies overseeing it. If you were say a fisherman based in Alaska and you were legally fishing out of your US flagged vessel in international waters and were torpedoed by a DPRK…

Watching that brought back the memories of running into Kool Keith right around the time he was releasing Dr. Octagon. For some reason, and not needs based, he had taken up refuge in a shit ass motor lodge type motel (Saharan I think) on Sunset, where one would bring a female or male hooker to bang for an hour and he…
