I am here for Friends and Networking

About Me

Allow me to re-introduce myself. My name is Kevin DeShawn. Previously I allowed the world to meet “Hip Hop’s Native Son”. Well, he was disrespected and was left for dead, so as it relates to the Myspace World, I buried him the beginning of this year. (So sad, I know). Though, the “Native Son” will always be a real aspect of Kevin DeShawn, I decided to finally bring forth, yet another real aspect of myself. “Mr. As Real As They Come” Kevin DeShawn is finally in the building. This is more of the social side of Kevin DeShawn, where as the “the Native Son” was more of the spiritual me. I learned the hard way that I need to keep the spiritual me a little more guarded from the snakes and fakes of MySpace. Therefore, this is the light I’m choosing to reflect for the moment. So come and spend some time with the realest cat on you’ll find on this internet shit.

My Interests

Photography, writing (speeches, poems, songs, and short stories), reading books, watching movies, making music. and public speaking. (As it relates to Photography, be sure to check out www.benyb-ent.com, www.lawsofthestreet.com & www.nightlifeagency.com to view some of my work.).

I'd like to meet:

Only those real cats that are mature enough to kill the lies, myths, fairytales and fake shit, will I fuck with. TRUST THIS!!!

Music:

Music touches me in many ways. Catch me at the right time and I might fall for a country song or some old 80's rock on the radio. Still, Hip Hop is all I'll buy. (Nas, Talib Kweli, Killah Priest, Common, Mos Def, Sean Price, Immortal Technique, Jadakiss, Busta Rhymes, Ras Kass, Chino XL, and of course, 2 Pac)

Movies:

I like movies with a twist. Memento, Arlington Road, Fight Club, Crash, Revolver, Slow Burn, Babel, Traffic, Higher Learning, A Beautiful Mind, The Sixth Sense, Unbreakable, Seven, Stir of Echoes, The Shawshank Redemption, and Equilibrium. Also love all movies by my favorite actors, Morgan Freeman, Richard Pryor, Eddie Murphy (the rated r version) and Al Pacino.

Television:

Dramas like The Wire, 24, House, Lost, Law and Order SVU, and Daybreak. Other shows like Penn & Teller's Bullshit, The Boondocks, and Def Poetry Jam. Sitcoms like The Cosby Show, Sanford and Son, and The Jeffersons.

Books:

From Babylon to Timbuktu, Lost Tribes and Promised Land, Israelites So Called Negroes, The Two Babylons, The Book Your Church Dont Want You, Worlds Sixteen Crucified Saviors, Fossilized Customs, The Darkside of Christian History, Rule By Secrecy, and Satan Im Taking Back My Health

Heroes:

There are too many to name. So I'll just list the one that I don't always give credit to, which is the man in the mirror.
