Knee High and Livin' Large {the world according to me} by Li'l Penny Hardaway with Stacy Walls


I definitely recommend this book to any L'il Penny fans out there. It has all the information on him you could ever want (and even more you don't want). Read about his career-ending injury that stopped his run to the NBA, his days at Wake Forest, his life as an artist, info on the commercials, and much much more.

If you are interested in buying this book, it is not too expensive. Also, it is available for purchase online.

Don't Forget the Funk - L'il Penny
LP Records

Review - Seth Zarkin of "The Source" Magazine

Don't Forget the Funk? How about the melody? The rhymes. Anything listenable? Li'l Penny has created an incoherent mess of a debut album, an amateurish effort, chock full of clich�d samples (Funky Drummer?), brain dead beats, and a title song which rhymes the word "funk" with "mysterious clunk." Consider this lyric from "Tyra Interlude," a track L.P. has described as "a slow jam."
"Lounging on the sofa/Getting down to business/Got a cough drop in my mouth/smells of lemon eucalyptus."

Please. In closing, don't forget the funk, but by all means, forget this debut.

Sample Lyrics

"Don't Forget the Funk"

When I was a little boy.
My moms she said to me.
Remember who you are, and learn the family tree.
Be healthy and be strong.
And please stay off the the junk
and lastly please my son,
Do not forget the funk.

Chorus
No matter what you do you don't forget the funk. Do not forsake the funk.
The great melovious(?) monk, did not forget the funk.
The mighty Titanic sunk, --the captain forgot the funk.
Like the elephant has trunk
We all must have the funk

Bridge
A Penny Dunk
A mysterious clunk.
Like Fred Sanford has junk
We all must have the funk
