my roommate had an awesome idea. He worked for the college newspaper to get access to hip hop shows and I would be the photographer to get backstage access to shows..

then we would find artists managers.

I have stories with Jeru that are fucking hilarious. Funniest and nicest of all the rappers we worked with and we always sold out.

stories like:

Playing tekken with Jean Grey in my bedroom.
Trying to check Souls of Mischief into a stinky hotel “this smells hella bad”
Realizing Bobbito had And1 handles while playing basketball with some hood niggas
selling trees to Alkoholics at my apartment
being schooled by LTJ Bukem on cell phone service and trying to get them niggas to stop putting tobacco in their weed.

Dan the Automator telling us about this group idea that was all cartoons and me
telling him that shit sounded ridiculous. “How the fuck will they perform live shows?” while eating every dish possible at an Italian restaurant because the owner was a huge fan.

Jeru hopping out the van at the motel and asking the drivers girlfriend if she was “coming or staying?” and seeing her hop out the van and say “sorry” to the driver and then Jeru saying “PEEEEEEACE”

my college experience was fucking glorious. lol
