Shelia E

Laurence Fishburne
Mos Def
Julissa Bermudez

lol I briefly met Peter Gunz when I was like four or five years old while my parents were driving through the block my mom grew up on. This had to be like 98 or 99

I ain't see him this summer but i would stay seeing him in the park working out. He was usually with the wife and kids. Kept to himself.

Rashard Lewis and Beyonce, my little sister went to school with Lizzo and I think Tobe Nwigwe

Beyonce left early though for home school I think

My big sister went to Alief-Elsik around that time. I went to Petrosky then Golbow. Small world. I think she mentioned Rashard when she saw him on TV one day.

I went to HS with Lou Williams and Jada Stevens, for a little bit. Lou was probably the coolest and solid person one could ever meet. Dude was quiet but when he did speak it was usually to make everyone around him laugh. He was famous AF even in HS but, honestly, never let any of that stuff get to him and stayed as low key as possible. The wildest part was all the rival guards, he hooped against, were arrogant like they had already made it. He torched them all (except Monta Ellis, dude was like a god that night) but most of them never made it beyond HS/College

My baby Bro went to school with Chili’s son. She’s crazy beautiful. Her and Usher were really really short.

I don’t remember much about Jada. I ended up moving several more times and missed a lot
plus I was lame AF

Archie Eversole

He had a hit back in 02 “We Ready”

We went to Stone Mountain HS together

Son was nice off the top, pretty cool cat back then too. I copped his album :obama:

Andre Barrett, was in the NBA for a short while. He was known in NY (BX and Harlem at least) for being the next Jordan but his career obviously ain’t pan out like that.

I guess they not famous famous since a lot of y’all prolly haven’t heard of them till this post but yea
