NBKOTB: Andre Scott, Kelton Crenshaw, And Emory Jones PMK Customs Company Designs Exclusive High-End Sneakers For Jay-Z, Beyonce, And More!

Posted on May 9, 2013 by Benny Hollywood

These brothers are doing big business with some of the industry’s biggest and brightest. New Black Kids On The Block: PMK Customs Last year, PMK’s (Perfectly Made Kicks) work on the “Brooklyn Zoo” Jordan 1′s that Jay-Z wore at the Nets season opener at Barclay’s Center had sneakerheads losing their collective isht. The Cleveland, Ohio duo’s momentum grew even more when the internet fashionista’s laid their eyes on Beyonce’s “King Bey” custom Isabel Marant sneakers . Jay-Z snapping pics of his PMK custom Jordan 1′s In a recent interview with XXL the two up-and-coming designers spoke on how they linked up: Andre Scott: I started PMK Customs and had it rolling since 2011. As you mentioned, Kelton and me are from the same city and been there all of our lives but it’s funny because we never crossed paths until we linked up [for this]. Kelton has always been the who’s who, the prince of the city, the king of the city, the man of the city—all of that. [Laughs] You know, like everybody has always said he has a promotional company called 881 and they throw the hottest parties in Cleveland. So he has a great network and it’s like I had some people come to the office that were like, “Yo, you need to talk to Kelton Crenshaw.” I was like, Why do I need to talk to Kelton Crenshaw? I sent this man a couple of things on LinkedIn and he don’t’ reply to me so, why do I need to talk to this guy. [Laughs] Like I don’t even know no 881. So finally we got Kelton in the PMK office, this was last year. So, he came with a couple of other people and we sat down and talked and I kind of gave him a run down of what PMK was about because he started seeing these hip-hop emails come through [Laughs]. You know what I’m saying? He wasn’t really paying attention; he was in law school and had his own stuff going on. I really take pride in locking in with people so after he stepped into the office, I saw what everybody was talking about. How he’s a leader, great thinker and a great businessman. So I was like I’m not letting this guy go anywhere. I kept forcing him to team up; I would be like, “We’re going to do some collabs, Kelton Crenshaw line or something.” I was like you can’t go nowhere. And he was like, “No I’m laid back, I’m corny.” I was like, No, we’re going to do a line. So next time he came I had a whole sheet for the rest of the year, drops here and there and everything. [In the end] I kind of forced him to take part, so he couldn’t be like, “I can’t do this, screw this guy.” We got draped into a project off in Dallas and that was the first time we actually took a business trip together. During the trip, we got time to get to know each other on a personal level as friends and also more detail in what PMK had going on. Ever since then, since we signed up together we’ve just been taking it over from there. Kelton Crenshaw: It was really crazy because, I got a bar back home and the DJ at the bar would be like, “Yo, my mans got these shoes and clothes,” and I’m just like, Okay man, cool. Everybody got a clothing line or something and I just don’t really get off into that type of stuff. So he’s like, “I want you to meet him, he’s a good guy. It’s real, they need your help.” So I went and met Dre, I heard him out and we just got cool. I just like helping out on some cool shit, that’s the type of guy I am. And if I like somebody, I’m not going to be coming in there with like equity agreements. Like if it’s input and you need X,Y,Z— I was just helping out on some cool shit and we just got real. Like he said, he brought up some opportunities for me on some parties side cause I promoted for a long time since 881. We do all the LeBron [James] events, we’re actually friends and have been doing events for the last seven years. I’m like a real quiet dude and just kind of in the cut on the business side. I’ve been around for a while and just got to wait for an opportunity like this honestly. Hit the following page to read how Kelton and Andre hooked up with Emory. Continue reading →

Hate Crimes: Four Men Punch And Kick Gay Couple After NY Knicks Game, Calls Them F*****s

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Another day, another hate crime . Four Men Attack Gay Couple According to Raw Story The New York City Police Department is searching for four men who are suspected of attacking a gay couple after Sunday night’s basketball game between the New York Knicks and the Indiana Pacers. Nick Porto, 27, told DNAInfo that he was walking arm-in-arm with his partner, 22-year-old Kevin Atkins, on Eighth Avenue when four men attacked them. The couple said that they were repeatedly punched and kicked. After the attack, the victims were rushed to Bellevue Hospital, where Porto was treated for a broken nose. Although police have not classified the attack as a hate crime, Porto said that he had no doubt. “I’ve never had a feeling like this before in the city,” he explained. “I didn’t know that it’s not over, that this sort of stuff still happens.” “They called us f*****s,” Porto recalled. “They made fun of my jeans — I made the jeans myself, for that day.” The NYPD released two surveillance photos of one of the four suspects early Tuesday morning. Investigators described him as a 6-foot-tall Hispanic man with brown hair and a tattoo on his left arm. He is seen wearing a white Knicks #7 jersey, a white T-shirt, blue hat and blue jeans. Anyone with information about the suspects or the attack can contact NYPD Crime Stoppers at 1-800-577-TIPS (8477) or http://www.nypdcrimestoppers.com . It’s sad in 2013 there are still people being attacked for their sexual preference.

Missing Teens Found Alive After 2002-2004 Kidnappings; Three Brothers Arrested

Posted on May 7, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Three young women who went missing separately about a decade ago were found alive Monday in the same home just south of downtown Cleveland. They had likely been tied up during years of captivity, said police, who arrested three men – all brothers – for the abductions that took place from 2002-2004. One of the women who had been missing for the better part of a decade said she had been abducted and told a 911 dispatcher in a frantic call, “I’m free now.” Crowds gathered on the street near the home where the city’s police chief said he thought Amanda Berry, Gina DeJesus and Michelle Knight had been held. They were in their teens or early 20s when they vanished. The women all miraculously appeared to be in relatively good health and were taken to a hospital to be evaluated and to reunite with long lost relatives. Police said a 6-year-old also was found in the home, but the child’s identity or relationship to anyone in the home wasn’t revealed as of this report. The discovery came after neighbors said they heard someone kicking at a door, yelling for help and trying desperately to get outside the house. A neighbor, Charles Ramsey, told WEWS-TV he saw Berry, whom he didn’t recognize, at a door that would open only enough to fit a hand through. “I heard screaming,” he told the Cleveland station. “I’m eating my McDonald’s. I come outside. I see this girl going nuts trying to get out of a house.” Anna Tejeda, who lives across the street, said Berry was nervous and crying, wearing pajamas and old sandals after she kicked out the screen in a door to escape. On a recorded 911 call Monday, Berry declared frantically to the dispatcher, “I’m Amanda Berry. I’ve been on the news for the last 10 years.” She said she had been taken by someone and begged for police officers to arrive at the residence on Cleveland’s west side before he returned. “I’ve been kidnapped, and I’ve been missing for 10 years,” she said. “And I’m here. I’m free now.” Berry disappeared at age 16 back on April 21, 2003, when she called her sister to say she was getting a ride home from her job at a Burger King. DeJesus went missing at age 14 on her way home from school about a year later. They were found just a few miles from where they had gone missing. Police said Knight went missing in 2002 and is 32 now. Officials said one of the brothers busted after the shocking discovery, a 52-year-old, lived at the home, and the others, ages 50 and 54, lived elsewhere. Authorities released no names of the arrested threesome or indication of what criminal charges they might face, but the investigation is just underway.

Really Homie? Wyclef Jean Walks Around New York With A Guitar Shaped Like An AK 47, Says He Wants To Convert Weapons Into Music

Posted on April 30, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Something tells us Wyclef is piff-puffin’ on a bag of that sticky icky. Wyclef Jean Flaunts Guitar Shaped Like An Ak-47 According to TMZ Wyclef Jean says he wants to convert weapons into music … so he made himself a guitar shaped like an AK-47 ASSAULT RIFLE … and whipped it out on the streets of NYC. Interesting concept … but brandishing something that looks like a FIREARM in the middle of the street??? Pretty ballsy move … especially considering law enforcement in the city is on high alert ever since officials discovered those terrorist brothers were targeting New York. Check out the video — ‘Clef not only explains the idea behind the musical weaponry … but actually lets our guy PLAY the assault guitar, while the founding Fugee sings along. Miraculously, no one was injured in the making of this footage. Wyclef is not really poppin’ right now, poor thang needs the free publicity.

Epitome Of A Bad Mother: Mother Of Nine Suffocates Newborn Baby Because “She Already Had Too Many Kids”

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

There is a special place in hell for people like this. Mom Suffocates Newborn Baby According to NY Daily News An Arizona mother of nine suffocated her newborn baby to death because she “already had too many kids,” police said. Nina Koistinen, 36, is accused of covering 6-day-old daughter Maya’s nose and mouth with her hand April 8 until she passed out in bed at their Phoenix home. Her husband, Bradley, discovered the girl unconscious at 6:45 a.m. He rushed her to hospital, but she was pronounced dead. At first Koistinen told her husband Maya had fallen asleep during feeding. But an autopsy revealed “possible signs of suffocation.” A review of the mother’s child protection service reports led cops to question whether the death had been deliberate. Records revealed she had previously made statements about wanting to smother her children. She had also said she wished they’d go to heaven after a car crash that cops said appeared intentional. Koistinen was arrested and, according to My Fox Phoenix, confessed to killing her baby because she “already had too many children.” She also said she was jealous with the amount of time her husband was spending with the newborn. Koistinen is being held on a secured bond of $1 million. The good news is the treatment she gave that poor baby will be ten times worse for her in prison. You know those inmates don’t like people who mess with children. Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office

Get Yo’ Money: Chris Dorner Carjacking Victim Sues The City Of Los Angeles For $1 Million In Reward Money

Posted on April 29, 2013 by Benny Hollywood| Leave a comment

Time to give up some of those stacks Los Angeles . Man Carjacked By Christopher Dorner Sues City Of L.A. According to TMZ The man who was carjacked by cop killer Christopher Dorner hours before he was cornered in a cabin … is suing the city of L.A. for the $1 million reward it offered to the public, but then pulled back over a loophole … TMZ has learned. In the lawsuit, filed today in LA, Richard Heltebrake describes how Dorner pulled a gun on him on Feb. 12, took his truck and then used it during a shootout with law enforcement. Dorner eventually ditched the truck before fleeing to the cabin where he died. Heltebrake says once he was free he used his cell phone to call the San Bernardino Co. Sheriff to report the carjacking and Dorner’s location. Heltebrake believes he’s owed, and indeed filed for, a ton of reward money that was offered — $1 million from the city of L.A., $100k from Riverside County, and $100k each from the cities of Riverside and Irvine. Three of those rewards were for “information leading to the apprehension and capture” of Dorner. Another was for “identification and apprehension.” The language is important because Dorner was not apprehend or captured — but instead police say he died of a self-inflicted gunshot wound inside the burning cabin. As TMZ first reported, L.A. officials were hesitant to pay up — and in the suit, Heltebrake claims all the municipalities denied him any money. Heltebrake wants at least $1 million — as well as an order prohibiting anyone else from getting the reward money. Do you think the city of Los Angeles should pay up? Getty

My name is Helle and I live in Oslo, Norway . I attended Believe tour on April 16th and 17th, 2013 with my dear belieber friends. Our journey started on Saturday April 13th, when we tried to figure out what hotel Justin and the crew would be staying at. We had a good eye for ‘The Thief,’ and decided to stay outside there on Sunday. That night we met Justin’s stage builders, they were so chill and we guided them around town for maybe an hour. On Monday the dancers arrived in the city, and the Norwegian fans were already acting like animals. I was so annoyed by their acts so we walked away, even though we knew that was our chance to meet them. We then found out where some of the dancers private photo shoot was going to be. We were the only ones there, and when the dancers came outside their van, we just winked at them to show them some respect and not attack them. When they came out again, they came over to us to say hi. I had a good talk with Carlena and Kaili, love them! After we knew where the dancers workshop was supposed to be, so we visited the location. There weren’t any fans there yet, so the woman who worked there said that we could stay if we wanted. We basically watched Jon, Nick, Johnny and Shaun dance for hours. The coolest thing was that the Jon and Nick walked around there joking with us.  I’d no idea that I could stay so calm and actually have a normal conversation with them. After the workshop we took a group photo and I stood next to Jon. Finally it was Tuesday and it was our show day. We spent 13 hours in the line waiting to get inside the arena. The show was amazing and Justin was so cute when he talked with the crowd. I felt so connected with him, like it was only me and him in the room. It was so hard knowing that he was so close, but we couldn’t meet him. After the show we walked to ‘The Thief’ since that’s the hotel we decided to go for earlier. We were the only ones there, and we waited until about 3 a.m. before Kenny   Hamilton came out! He gave us a hug and a photo, but he was in a rush so we let him go. He also said, “Girls, you can go home. It’s safe to leave, I promise nothing will happen here, Justin is sleeping.” We didn’t dare to do anything other than listen on our teddy bear, and left the hotel. Then on Wednesday, it was my all time favorite day. We decided to look for the crew in the city instead of waiting in line for the show. Suddenly Kenny DM’ed  us asking about my name, and said that he would leave us two meet and greet passes at the box office! As you all know, we are 4 Norwegian beliebers who were in this together. Scooter gave Sana M&G, but we still needed one more. Emma cried so much, but I was repeating that everything would work out. We wouldn’t meet Justin without her. We were so grateful and didn’t mean to complain, but we asked Kenny for one more M&G for our friend and he agreed. That moment is forever the happiest moment in my entire life, Emma and Maiken both fainted, while Sana and I just stood there hugging each other. When it was time to meet Justin I came in the room, and Justin already had two girls next to him. I was like, “Aw…” Justin looked at me and understood what I was thinking. He said, “No no no,” and took me next to him instead. I said, “Thanks,” and we both smiled. It felt so good being in his arms, he smelled so good and it was so natural. I asked him for a hug, but he was like, “Sorry girls, I’m sick, I don’t want you to get sick too.” I answered that I don’t mind, I mean who the hell cares about getting sick for Justin, but he said, “No, sorry cutie,” but then he gave me a hug anyways? The hug felt so real, it was like my life depended on it. Sana kissed him on the check, and that’s not allowed, so he moved her away and let Emma stand next to him instead. I said, That’s not swaggy though?” so he laughed and smiled to me. I honestly don’t remember that someone took the photo, but I look so happy and I’m actually blushing because he’s so flirty. When I turned around leaving I saw the biggest, cutest smile I’ve ever seen. All the other girls had left the room, so it was only me and him now. We looked each others in the eyes for some seconds and then he winked at me. I wonder how I’m still alive. He said, “I love you” but I don’t remember if I said anything back. Then I walked out and found the other girls laying on the ground crying like children. I was just so damn happy. The show on Wednesday was perfect in every single way. We really enjoyed our time together, singing along with Justin. We also saw Kenny and Scooter creeping around in the crowd, but we let them go for themselves. After the show we visited ‘The Thief’ again, and we were the only ones who saw Dan leave. We winked and he smiled and winked back. Justin also showed off shirtless in the window like 3 times, I’ll never get over that tease. After a long day, we left the hotel and went home to sleep. On Thursday we spent a lot time in the city. We went back to the hotel and saw Kenny, Scooter, Alfredo and Tay James leaving. I was like, “I’m sure they’re going to One Piece!!” and sure enough, Kenny tweeted that they were on their way to the store. We arrived at the same time as Kenny and Alfredo. The store owner said that we could stay. I walked over to Kenny and said, “I need to thank you” and he remembered me from the day before. He said, “You’re welcome, no problem, I’m glad.” Then we gave him a huge group hug, smiled and talked for some minutes. Then I smiled to Fredo, and he looked at me and asked me to come over. I took about two photos with him, he’s just so cute. On our way out, Kenny asked if we wanted more photos. I love the selfies we took, he didn’t stop posing and we laughed so much. The owner then threw everyone out because they screamed and were aggressive, but they let us stay because Kenny kept talking with us. I asked Alfredo if he knew my Twitter and he did! He honestly looked so happy and honored to meet us, I can’t believe he knew who we are. We walked out of the store together with Alfredo. He touched my shoulder and was like, “I think we need more photos!” so we took a lot selfies with him too. All the other fans outside the store stood there looking at us. We talked about the shows, Norway and he promised to say hi to Justin from us. He asked us if we had tickets for tonight’s show, and we said that we didn’t, but we had been to the other show so it was okay .I’m still so overwhelmed – this honestly means the world to me. I really need to thank Laura, Fay, Met, Maria, Nikki, Pat, Lilly, Jeti, Jazmine, Emily, Tyan, Diane, and Shaine for helping us out on Twitter. A huge thank you to Kenny, he’s so kind hearted and I love him for everything he does for Justin and Beliebers. Justin’s dancers, for being so cool around us. Fredo for being in beastmode when he met us. Last but not least, THANK YOU JUSTIN, WE MISS YOU ALREADY. -@jbsdope Link: My name is Helle and I live in Oslo, Norway. I attended Believe…

Original post:

I’m a belieber from Norway and I thought it was time to share my Bieber experience with you guys! I’ve been a fan for so long, but since I like to say that I live in Narnia, it’s been hard to get to see him. The first time I saw Justin was when he came to Oslo for his promo tour, which was last year on May 30. I guess you all know how crazy that turned out, with all the boats and everything. Nobody knew that us Norwegian beliebers were that crazy, so we surprised a lot of people all around the world! It was a free concert so of course many people were going to show up. Therefore I did everything to get VIP bracelets so I could sit as close as the stage as possible! The day before the concert I finally got them. My sister and I won them at a hotel in town and it was such an amazing feeling! Justin where performing on a scene on the water, and we were as close as we could be. The performance was amazing, the night was so fun and Oslo literally got turned upside down with the Bieber crew in the city. I will never forget that day. I have to say that it’s amazing to see Oslo in the AATW music video. Then almost a year later it was time for a new Bieber adventure. Believe Tour came to Oslo on April 16th 2013. In July, my sister and I were lucky enough to buy the best tickets, which included meet and greet passes, diamond circle tickets and merchandise. When we were waiting in the meet and greet line, Dan Kanter and Nick Demoura came by. I got up and spoke to them, and they were so nice. I was really looking forward to meet Justin, but in the same way, I didn’t have any big expectations because I’d heard that the meetings would go by very fast. I know that security has to do their job, I just wish they could’ve been more sympathetic and treat us like human beings. Even though I didn’t manage to say or do what I wanted to do, the seconds I had with Justin meant the world to me. When I got in and saw him, he looked so magical and unreal. His skin and tattoos were literally shining. I’ve never seen someone that beautiful. He smiled and said “hi” to me, and I wanted to ask for a hug but the security forced me to just stand next to him and get the picture over with. He put his arm around my shoulder and I was freaking out inside! After the picture was taken, Justin turned to me and said, “You can stay if you want!” with his sexy voice. I think he said that because he saw that I was upset about the short time, and how the security treated me. I didn’t get time to do anything because the security literally carried me out again. Afterwards I decided to think positive and I started to realize how lucky I really was! I know that Justin care about his fans no matter what, and he showed me that too and that was the sweetest thing. It was a night with a lot of emotions, but my dream came true that night. When I came in to the concert I met Lisa, another security who works with Justin, and who was also at the M&G. I thought it was a nice chance to tell her about how I experienced the other security. She was so supporting and nice to me, and said that she would talk about it to them. I hope that helped a little so they can treat fans a little nicer. The concert were totally amazing, words don’t exist that can explain how fantastic it was. I had the perfect view and Justin was perfect as always. I really had the time of my life. I am so grateful for what I have experienced and I can’t believe that I have been so close to the boy I love. I love Justin with all my heart and will always. I really hope I get the chance to see him again soon, I can never get enough of this boy!  -Julianne (@Julistraa)   Continued here: I’m a belieber from Norway and I thought it was time to share my…
