Method Man - YDB and the entire Wu-Tang Clan aside from RZA. walked into the W Hotel lounge with them after they walked from Wang Theatre in Boston right to their hotel across the street and around the corner. I was young and green and put my CD in all of their hands. Many of them were arriving to high end classy woman who were upholding the highest level of congeniality. I was the first person kicked out of the show for smoking during Wu Tang Clan Ain’t Nothing to fukk With felt a practically a midget security guard try to pick me up, I literally looked to my left and looked down realized the situation and jumped up to help him get a lift on me. got carried right out of the venue and stood on the corner outside the venue selling CDs with YDB - a consummate professional he was
Mistah Fab, randomly at First Friday event. just on the sidewalk. Also at other events and I’ve seen him in the studio lay a feature down for my friend
I also met MC Hammer alongside Mistah Fab at a rap show in a downtown Oakland venue that just had a (actual) rave the night before, I was at both events. When I met Hammer the first thing I went into was a question about the song Unconditional Love and before I could finish he was aware of the Tupac fanboyism and immediately told me that Tupac actually wrote that for him
saw him walk out the venue in the middle of the night, no security and he walked right up to his car and headed back to Tracy, CA
oh … and I met DJ Quik at the premiere of his Unsung episode. I was performing my song and he liked it enough to come to the stage. He got me another glass of what I was drinking and him and Hi-C offered to smoke with me
earlier that summer I met Suga Free outside Joseph’s venue in Hollywood … he let me talk his head off because I was telling him he is the best rapper alive with the highest entertainment value per bar, his female security guard was like “okay okay now …“ and he was like “hold on let him finish“
I bust a freestyle for my favorite rapper and he told me “Adonnis …. You been drinking tonight huh?” … Pomona Pimpin Young chimed in and said listen to what he’s saying
anyway, just imagine you were raised by a father who took you to the Up In Smoke Tour in Worcester, MA (tour DVD film night) when you were 8 years old (the summer before 3rd grade) - then imagine you grow up to make a song that draws DJ Quik, one of the greatest and most recognizable west coast Hip-Hop producers of all-time and nobody in your life cares. You tell your father about it and he is basically like “oh so you met Prince huh? … it’s not Michael Jackson though“
