    I shared an escalator w Revered Jackson at ATL. He had a very strong charisma I didn't expect and to my surprise I became starstuck, probably because he was sort of regal. Got to shake his hand.

    Shared an escalator w that dude that plays the brother on Everybody Loves Raymond - he was chatting w me and I didn't respond because I didn't know what to say - I just dodged out of the escalator when it opened.


    Shook hands w both girls in Mary Mary and Israel Houghton at the Grammy's last year.


    Seen many famous people here in LA, but that don't count.

    Damn! Now THAT'S a list! How did you meet so many entertainers? I dj'ed in college a bit, hence the musicians. The rest I met in Miami or through work.

    He's always seemed a bit strange to me. But that's the kind of celeb that you want to meet, right? One that's got a few kangaroos loose in the top paddock. :smt043

    I used to be in charge of Military Protocol, I was NCO of the year one year and I used to be an under ground rapper in the 90s

    Did you release any tracks or guest spot on any other artists' tunes? That's cool, man. The closest I ever got was recording a freestyle over a karaoke machine with a buddy of mine in undergrad. LOL

    Nahh, nothing on wax. I'd hang with them, sort of like a groupie shit, but really it wasn't for them dudes, it was for all the chicks that hung around them dude.

    I rapped with PAC dude as like "Marines don't know nothing about rappin"...I threw a few lines at him...that's about it.

    I did some shows where I would open up for these cats. One big show, the Pepsi Jam in Tokyo, and the Summer Jam in Jacksonville, NC with LL COOL Jan and Total. I can still remember one of those chicks going on stage 6 month pregnant.

    Let me tell you Janet Jackson is one of the nicest people I ever met man. She found out I was in the Marine and asked if my buddies wanted to come to the show. She flew like 40 of us from Hiroshima to Tokyo and put us up for the entire weekend.

    The 90s were the best time of my life SECOND only to becoming a father.
