10 Things To Know About Artists!!!
1. Don't lie to them about what you think of their work, if you don't like it. It can be music, a painting, or a poem. Don't lie. At best, tell them what you really think. At worst, tell them that it's ok, but you think they can do better. But don't lie!
2. If your cousin, uncle, mom, neighbor's child can sing, rap, tap dance, whistle, or whatever... if they don't atleast have something recorded (ie a song, a video clip, etc...) chances are, THEY'RE NOT SERIOUS so we don't want to hear about them. It's almost disrespectful. Now, if you're coming to me to ask how to get something recorded, that's perfectly fine. But you can't get a meeting with a label, director, agent, etc... without something tangible.
3. If/when they have a show, performance, display, jam sessoin, recital, etc... DO NOT, DO NOT, DO NOT call them, e-mail them or text them within 3 hours of the show (Damn sure not within 30 mins) asking stupid stuff like, "We're here, where are you?" Or "Can I get on the list?" Or "What's the address again?" People, we need time to focus on what we're about to do. Handle all of that days before the event (Directions, Who's coming with you, How much it costs, etc...) If you absolutely MUST be a last minute annoyance, call their manager or the person who handles them. Even that can get annoying to the artist since the artist will probably be right there while you're annoying his manager but it's better than calling the artist directly. And if you're thinking, "Well, my boyfriend is the artist he won't mind," or "My good friend is the artist, they won't mind if I call last minute," YES THEY WILL! Although you're coming out to support, you're still being selfish to a degree. The last thing we want to think about is how long the line is, or the fact that you can't find parking. C'mon!!!
4. Keep in mind... pressure, aggrivation, mis-haps etc... will affect our mood. If the mics are not acting right, or the wardrobe is missing, or the DJ is running late, it may have a slight effect on our mood Why? Ummm... I don't know because we're PEOPLE?!?! So chill with the 1,000 questions and go have a drink. Enjoy yourself. Flirt with some people for a little while until the show starts. Because if you ask a question, chances are 5 or 6 other people have already asked the same question, and if we even have a slight attiude or we're slightly annoyed at all of these last minute questions during our "Focus" time... we're wrong for that? C'mon!!
5. If you are one of these people who has done this to your friend who's an artist, or performer, why not volunteer to be the person who compiles their guest list for them, and/or provides directions, etc... to all of the other last minute people just like you? Hmmmmm...
6. Asking "So when are you gonna Blow Up?" Is plain ole stupid, don't do it.
7. Asking "So what are you going to perform?" takes away from the Performance, Jerky!!! Part of the performance is giving you something that you don't expect.
8. All an artist wants to do is create. They should indeed be on top of their business and make sure that they "serve" their listeners. And yes... an artist is going to have a good idea of when and where his/her performances are but more times than not (If they have a full schedule), they are not going to remember how much this event costs to get in, or what the dress code is for that event. That's why they put it on flyers, on websites, on myspace pages for YOU to click and read so that all they have to do is think about providing you with a good show. Also, GOOGLE WORKS... USE IT!!!
9. Most people are followers. Most people go with the "Herd Mentality" (Google It!) Part of the reason we invite people to our shows is so that other people can see you going nuts over us, singing along to our lyrics, throwing your hands in the air, whistling, screaming, jumping up and down, etc... so that others can see that and take notice. Sitting there quiet and then waiting until you get home afterwards to send a text that says "You Killed It, Son!" doesn't mean as much. It's appreciated but let's make the most of this, people!!!
10. (For those who are in a relationship w/ an artist) Your mate is attractive. That's a major part of why you're with them. Music can be seductive at times. Without getting too deep, Satan aka Lucifer was the head of God's music ministry when he was a "Good Guy." Once he rebelled against God, he was casted out of Heaven partly because God didn't want Satan using music (which can be a seductive tool) in a destructive way. If your mate is attractive and talented (musically) people of the opposite sex (Or same sex, now-a-days) are going to notice and are going to like it. Either break up with them
because you don't like it or Understand this principle and be mature
enough to actually Love the idea. One or the other.

54. I believe that a persons knowledge can only be tied to the level that theyre exposed to. Get involved People!!!
55. I have had a considerable amount of success exposing myself here on MySpace but Im confused at how so many people can (1) come to my page and (2) make so many positive comments and even (3) Go back and forth with me for months (4) Complain about how horrible Hip Hop is now a days and how different I seem to be as an artist yet, have never bought a mixtape from my page, come to see any of my shows or even sat and watched KEL SPENCER'S SECRET SHOWCASE For free!!! Maybe Im doing something wrong. Maybe these people are lying to me ..
56. Ive always known this but, Recently, Im really seeing that you cannot please everyone. You will make decisions that may please 99 out of 100 people. But, just as long as you and God are 2 of those 99, that 100th person can Huddy Up!!! (Only The Jims know what that means)
57. All you have to do is control the controlables, my lil brother FLO told me that, Wud up My dude!?!

63. For the masses that dont fully understand this concept, I have taken the liberty of breaking it down: If you have a penis youre supposed to like women. I think?!?! And (unless you were born this way) Breasts and a penis should not be on the same body. I Dont Think?!?!
64. I lost my virginity when I was Oh! Wait, no I found it. Never mind
65. I believe that a hand and wrist massage can sometimes feel better than a back, neck and shoulder massage. Take advantage, people!!!
66...I believe that what you hear has alot to do with the balance in your life. I guess that's why the control center for your body's balance is in your ears...

68. People should know (a) Your child should get an occasional spanking (2) Your Pastor does not know everything and (Z) Hickeys are not attractive.

70. Fellas!!! 98 out of 100 times, If your girl is on your back and is suspecting you of cheating Its because YOU ARE, you slappy!!! Either that or you recently stopped
71. I believe that you should not ask your mate a question that you do not really want the answer to.
72. I know that communication is the basis for cooperation.
73. I believe that attitude determines approach. Approach determines success or failure.
74. Ladies when I come over, Dont do the Long t-shirt with the socks. It reminds me of my mother. YUCK!!!
75. Ladies, You have proven that your definition of thick is about 25 pounds heavier than My definition of thick. Lets just be honest people!!!

77. Walking is not working out!!!
78. I believe that cars go up to 160 mph for a reason!!! Mr. State Trooper you can Huddy Too!!!
79. I believe that a man who acts like a boy will force his woman to act like his Mom. Thats why shes on your back, playa!!!
80. Ladies, get off our..backs, Geez. Can we live!?!?!
81. Stay with me on this one... You know how a letter with no stamp gets returned to the sender, right? I wonder if I put my address in the middle instead of the upper left hand corner and the destination in the upper left hand corner instead of the middle and put it in the mail without a stamp, would it go to the address Im trying to send it to. Hmmmm.
82. My middle name is De Juan.

96. Its not enough to just Believe in God. What does that mean?? Even Satan believes theres a God. ..
97. I have the best looking man-feet ever in the history of history. No corns, No bunions, None of that. WORD!!! Check out: MY FEETZ
98. I have a lot of Female Friends. Future wife, if youre out there, just bear with me. Well work it out together!!!
99. Believe it or not, my parents call me Kel.
100. My father was in the Air Force So I was born in Germany. I lived there for about a month after I was born and had the chance to go back and perform there back in 2000.
101. My number one goal is to hear the following words from God one day, Job well done, good and faithful servant.
102. I grind my teeth in my sleep, why? Don't ask…
103. I was raped out of my first kiss. I was about 7 years old and two girls from the 5th grade caught me in the stairway, wrestled me to the ground and took turns, sticking their tongues in my mouth. As a 3RD grader that had me so shook, I wouldn't go down that staircase alone but looking back, doesn't that make me like a junior Hot Rod or something?
104. Thanks to the hilarious friends that I have, the area on a man between the back of his testicles and his poopy-chute has official been named his "Duck Butter." Don't ask…
105. I believe that what's crazy about society is that the craziest thing that happened recently is slightly more crazy than the crazy thing that happened right before it, to the point that the crazy thing that happened right before the most recent crazy thing doesn't even seem as crazy anymore. Isn't that crazy?
106. Don't be doofy or goofy. If you're a woman, over 5'11" your dance floor movement should be limited to only a 2-step. No pelvic thrusts, No out stretched arms and certainly no moon-walking.
107. I'm not sure why you can go to a person's page and send them a note or request them as a friend and they ask you… "How'd you find my page?" Ummmm…. Let's see, maybe because you're in the FRIGGIN INTERNET WITH THE REST OF THE WORLD?!?!?
108. I almost pee'd on myself recently. How? Thanks to looking at a pencil sketch of a teenaged girl drawn by Mr. Napolean Dynamite. If you've never heard of that name or you've never seen the movie, leave it alone…
109. Toned arms…. Nah, I'm just gonna keep it 100, Muscular arms on a woman is a turn on for me. Noooo… I don't want veins popping out, nor do I want a chick that could probably beat me in arm wrestling but when she has defined biceps and triceps… I start thinking things…
110. If you can have a full out conversation while you're working out, then you're not working out.
111. I'm sure most of you agree that, no matter what, you should be nice to your waiter/ waitress. You don't want them giving the signal to the cooks and then all of the sudden they're playing soccer in the kitchen with your meat.
112. If you have a gift from God, it will always be worth more than a person who has years of experience but doesn't have the gifting. Just think, Noah's boat lasted because it was favored by God. Meanwhile the so-called "Indestructible Titanic" sunk.
113. Is it sunk or sank??? What do I know? I'm just a dumb rapper…
114. I can't bring chapstick on an airplane but I can walk on with a Whitney Houston CD that I can easily snap in half and use to stab anyone sitting near me. How Ironic…
115. Fellas!! It's not that women always want their way… It's just that they want to know that their way has been considered, and factored into the equation. So even if you disagree or go against what she says, make it known (FIRST) that her viewpoint has been thought about…
116. Ladies!!! Could you just be quiet sometimes?? I'm busy trying to snap this CD in half, GARSH!!!
117. Christianity is a Faith Based relationship between the Christian and God through Jesus Christ. However, It takes more "Faith" to NOT believe in God, than it takes to believe in Him. Think about it…
118. When I'm typing, I pretty much know where every letter on the keyboard is. But if you gave me a blank keyboard and asked me to fill in the letters, I'm not sure that I'd be able to do it 100% successfully. Kinda weird, huh…
119. I'm not feeling all these TV Dating shows with everyone just kissing each other and spit swapping and tongue wrestling and playing tonsil hockey. That's SPIT, People!!! Yuck!!!
120. Not like I would know but Baby wipes seem to feel a lot better than toilet paper but not like I would know or anything…
121. Doesn't it defeat the purpose of washing your hands in a restaurant when right after you toss your paper towel on the trash, you touch a doorknob or door handle that God knows how many other people have touched since it's last wipe down… If they ever even wipe it down? Hmmm… I use that same paper towel to open the door then toss it once I've opened the door.
122. WAIT!!! Let's take it a step further… When was the last time you actually disinfected the bathroom doorknob in your own home?!?!
123. WAIT!!! Let's take it even further… When was the last time you disinfected the toilet handle?!?!
124. I believe that the sales of both disinfectant spray, and wipes are going to mysteriously rise this weekend…
125. Ok, I almost pee'd on myself another time too. It was when Borat told the story about his retarded brother breaking out of the cage and… Nevermind.
126. What are eyebrows for?? Then again, I guess they're the only way that we can show people that we're surprised!!!
127. In the Bible, Moses used a serpent wrapped around a stick to serve as a symbol for healing (Numbers 21:8-9). And to this very day that same serpent wrapped around that same stick is still the symbol for healing. If you don't believe me, just look at the side of any ambulance driving down the street. But I guess you probably think that's just a coincidence right?
128. Ladies, Nipple hair is NOT THE MOVE!!!
129. Fellas, If you've had sex with her before, it's not really gonna go over too well when you tell people, "Oh, she's like my sister."
130. I've never smoked anything, ever…
131. I sometimes sleep with my eyes open. Yeah, I know...
132. One of my distant relatives is a former boxer who got pounded on by Muhammad Ali.
133. Using condoms as water balloons is hilarious!!! Not that I would know…
134. When I'm at home, no matter who's around, I move my bowels with the door open. If you don't like it, you can leave!!!
135. Once we get rid of our "Slave Mentality" we'll see so much progress (Blog on this topic soon to come)
136. One winter, I made snowballs, and put them in the freezer until the summertime. The summertime came around and we had a water fight on my block. Guess who ended the fun because no one could understand how in the world, I was throwing snowballs in the middle of July...
137. Ok, one more time when I blew my drink through my nose and of course I… ummmm.. I almost pee'd on myself… Ummmm, well… It was in the movie "Life" when the judge gave Martin and Eddie their sentence and slammed the gavel down screaming "LIFE!!!" Pay close attention to all of the statements that Martin & Eddie make right after.
138. If you're a guy, and you've had over 15 instances where you've had sex with a woman within 24-hours of meeting her than you're just a down right, dirty… wait… oh, nevermind.
139. A belt and suspenders at the same time is a NO NO!!!
140. If you're the smartest person in your group, you should get a new group. Challenge yourselves!!!
141. If you don't sing, hum or whistle in the shower, there is something wrong with you.
142. Maybe I'm wrong but I believe that The NY Yankees logo, just might be the most popular logo this planet has ever seen. (McDonald's, Coke, Mercedes and Nike may have strong arguments as well)
143. Ladies, ask us first. You may think that feels good to us, but it doesn't…
144. Fellas, ask her first. That little thing you do might be a little to rough and abrasive. That doesn't feel good to her…
145. When I go to a restaurant and I have left over food that I don't want, I don't leave it there for them to throw out and waste. I get it "To Go" and find a homeless person to give it to. And here in Brooklyn, I won't be looking for too long. Try it yourself.
146. Chicks dig my eyelashes, eyebrows, and lips. And they say that my pictures do me no justice. I think I'm a Hunk in the making…
147. I think that DJ's should understand just how much power they have. DJ's are the portal from artistry to the world. I don't fully blame them for the trash that's out there but I don't fully compliment them for filtering it either. I love DJ's though…
148. I think you should all go to check out L. BENNETT'S WEEKLY BREAD and add that page as a friend if you haven't already.
149. Being a parent is the most important job you can ever have.
150. The Building Ain't Big Enough…
151. Believe it or not, you are going to die one day. Then what? Are you sure?

Why the name Kel Spencer??
Lennie (Kel Spencer) Bennett- Charles Darwin got credit for the phrase survival of the fittest. But, his assistant Herbert Spencer really came up with this theory. I believe that survival and success are attached to strength. However, there are times when the strong get overlooked, such as myself for the past few years. Im fire! My style is hot and you measure heat in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. Kelvin gets over looked just as Herbert Spencer does but, not for too much longer. Kelvin Spencer... Kel Spencer

I'M A MAN OF GOD, BROOKLYN CCC STAND UP!!
We send out The "L. Bennett Weekly Bread." It's just little pieces of spiritual insight to guide us through the week. But without being "Preachy." If you are interested in being on our e-mailing list, please privately send me your name and e-mail address to theweeklybread@gmail.com, I can understand you not wanting to post it. We currently have over 2,000 weekly recipients. I am not perfect. I sin just like you but, Balance is the key to life and I think it's kinda cool for us to help eachother with our Balance. You can be cool and love God. You can be righteous and like Hip Hop. You can go to church and not be corny...
The sons of New York City Public School teachers, (Now Administrators) Kel Spencer [Lennie Bennett], Flo Blitz [Lance Bennett] and Gus Pain [LeMar Bennett] understand the value of Education, as well as the importance of street smarts. 3RD Power stresses both. Practical knowledge, common sense and righteous perseverance are key elements to success.

My style is hot and you measure heat in Celsius, Fahrenheit or Kelvin. Kelvin gets over looked just as Herbert Spencer does but, not for too much longer. Kelvin Spencer... Kel Spencer
