About Me

The "official" short bio is below. But i doubt any of us can really sum ourselves up in this little box. Those two words "about me" combine to pose a deep question. I think writers probably spend their careers trying to answer that question, word by word, story by story, deadline by deadline. Maybe when it's all over you look back and say, "Oh, so THAT'S what i'm about." So anyway, below is the basic. Thinking about my past, present, dreams, goals, futures, creations, blessings, moments, dramas, success, trials, etc... I'm about a lot of sh*t! But yo, aren't we all? Peep the official madness:ISAAC PERRY has been published in Vibe, XXL, King Magazine, Honey Magazine, Slam Magazine, The Source, The Source Sports, Rides, Jordan Magazine, and ESPN Magazine. Isaac is the author of the book WHAT WILL IT TAKE?, Nike’s in-depth look into the soul of summer basketball. For more than five years Isaac explored every level of basketball and street culture as Editor-at-Large of Dime Magazine, profiling everyone from NBA superstars to neighborhood playground legends.COMING SOON:All He Had Was Ambition...All He Wanted Was the World.ALL FALLS DOWN A NOVEL BY ISAAC PERRYCOMING IN 2007#####Yo, "All Falls Down"?

My Interests

I'd like to meet:

MALCOLM, ASSATA, MARVIN, LANGSTON, MILES, RAKIM, MAGIC, ALI, ALICIA, JULIUS, THE PEARL, GORDON PARKS, FRANK MILLER, AND ON, AND ON, AND ON... As a journalist workin' in sports and entertainment media i've met a lot of celebrities. Since it's work, you start to view them in their real life situaions. In other words, you stop seeing them as otherworldly beings and look at them as flesh and blood creatures who have jobs that put their faces in front of millions of people. They are extraordinary, but not because they are famous. And some of them are as profound as they look in magazines or on TV. And some of them are not. But there are still a few, for me, who get me shook. When I met Chuck D for the first time, I was trippin'. The music of Public Enemy helped give voice to my soul as a kid. I suppose, if i ever get a chance to talk with Magic it will be the same vibe (or any of the icons I listed above). As much as the media would like to credit itself as the sole force behind a superstar's shine, the space where we hang our favorite stars is more important. We all own a universe.
