Perhaps the strangest thread we ever had on our Pier Fishing In California Message Board during a time when we were all part of UPSAC (United Pier and Shore Anglers of California) and I was the President.

Date: November 16, 2005
To: PFIC Message Board
From: Ken Jones
Subject: Which sounds better (in response to your comments)?

“Kenny J and the UPSAC Playahz”? or “Jonesy and the What-UPSAC Dogs”

Posted by baitfish — LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I gotta go with Jonesy and the What-UPSAC Dogs
Adam. Support UPSAC and help preserve pier and shore fishing for future generations.

Posted by Red Fish — Either Will Work But you have to change it to Ken-J or KJ and whomever. Kenny J or Jonesy sounds a little too Will Smith and I think you are a lot more hardcore than that, LOL

Posted by eelmaster — Kenny J! Very Hunters Point. Are you signed to GLP?
Monte, Support the UPSAC

Posted by Ken Jones — GLP? Is my age showing?

Posted by eelmaster — Na, more of a post for 20 somethings. GLP was a small indi label (out of Hunters Point) started in the early 90's. It went on to gain a distribution deal with Interscope records, giving it national distribution and main stream radio play. It also helped to break the mold, from a production standpoint, by producing instrumentals utilizing Korg Synth rather than ASR's that had been the main stay for sampled production. Anyway, way off topic. But I thought a few folks would find the comment funny.

Posted by Ken Jones — Korg Synth, ASR's: new species of fish?

Posted by eelmaster —ASR Artistic Shark Rigs...Korg: Ken Obviously Reels in Ganstas

Posted by baitfish — A Salmon Released? A shark 'Rangled

Posted by Red Fish — Are you an A&R person Eelmaster???? (A&R) Artist and Repertoire [someone that cultivates new talent for a record label]. Or, have you been hanging in the hood!! As, you almost caught me with all those acronyms; but not quite. Ken, most people from the streets wouldn't necessarily know those acronyms, so, you are not out of touch. The only reason I know them, is because I used to be involved with the Bay Area record industry second-hand (as far as rap music and hip-hop). Okay, easy one: (GLP) is the Get Low Playaz a clique of rappers as a collective from Hunters Point (you know where you like to fish at Evans Ken; People like JT the Bigga Figga, his cousin, San Quinn and Rappin' 4-Tay , plus a few more. They are pretty much "old" now and new-blood is on the horizon. Okay, you got me at first with this (ASR) thing but it obviously must stand for All Sampled Record as interpreted by context and the reference to an old, old, keyboard, the mono-phonic mini-moog, later manufactured by Korg that is used to play bass-line melodies. Class dismissed!!!!!! Red Fish

Posted by eelmaster — Agressive and Rude? That's me! Na, man. Not an A&R guy. Former musician and wannabe producer. Somehow corprate America pays better. ha! BTW ASR= ASR10 was a popular sampler for Hip Hop producers back in the dizzle.
