i have seen famous people but i have never "met" any of them because i am just not the type to run up to a person wanting to shake their hands or ask for their autographs.

Jerry Springer then Montell Jordan..
My #1 celebrity "crush" actually...met her at a poetry lounge in Cali...
When I was working at a record store in Hollywood she came in, damn near embarrassed myself cuz she asked me what was playing at the time and next thing I knew another employee switched the track out to a song called Bare Naked she made. I was about to yell across the floor, "wtf you turn to this shit for?!" then I realized it was JLH I was just talking to when she started gigglin and acting all bashful after hearing her song put on. I just thought it was some fine ass white girl at first..
Also met Q-Tip at the record store...dude was cool. Had some bad ass alternative but earthy lookin chick with him.

Got a chance to lounge in the VIP section of the filming of "Dave Chappelle Block Party." Met all the performers except Lauryn Hill.
prob not the most famous but this
is what i remember right now.
i met Mark Jackson when he played
point guard for the Pacers in '99
i think. it was playoff time and
the Pacers had a 3-0 lead on the
Sixers. i didn't even say hi, i just
walked up on him and said, "i don't
care if yall win the series, just
don't sweep my squad!" he just smiled
and shook my hand. this fool was in
a record store buying music by hisself.
promptly left, and they went on to sweep
us. i hated Reggie Miller back then.

back when he was on Def Comedy Jam
Evergreen Plaza Also Known as Everblack
Since my pops is a radio DJ, Ive met a lot of people, but I actually marched at G.W.'s inauguration and shook the fuckers hand as he told me "I hope your excited for America son"
Met Ice T and his body count crew down in Leicester Square in London a few years back. Was cool with us at the time and was happy to answer any questions we had.
Also I was invited to attend the Queens garden party in 2000 as a guest. Met her in person, she was very polite with everyone.

Bumped into Laurence Fishburne on Frenchmen Street in New Orleans. Dude was standing outside a bar looking like a bum. What messed me up was duke was wearing a fanny pack. Chopped it up for about 2 minutes and bounced. Once I was at a concert and Remy Ma was standing behind me chillin. Didn't know who she was until he got on stage to perform. This was when that lean back song was topping the charts.
A lot so, bare with me...lol

Roberto Alomar, when he played for the Clevland Indians I met him before the game. I was working in the suites then and some White girl introduced me. He seemed like a cool cat.
Avant, aka Myron Avant, I went to Cleveland School of the Arts with him c/o 1995. Nobody knew he could sing back then because he was a drama major.
Eric Benet. I met him at a concert in 2000. I went back stage between shows (him and Brian McKnight) and I sung for him. He gave me props and his manager's number but I pussied out and never called (going thru things with my girl...and I was a punk. Damn I should have called)
I think that is it. I don't get too hyped up over famous people. Famous people are just regular people with money or talents. I don't get it twisted. There isn't a single person, other than President Obama, that I would try to see or meet. I don't do autographs...unless they want to get mine, too.
