Up In Smoke Tour - Sunrise FL

Outkast Reunion last year - Tampa FL

Recording Kevin Gates, talking to him and realizing how intelligent is actually is.

Seeing Jackie O in a wet wife beater LOL

Putting together the "Hostile Take Over Tour" South Florida date. Not seeing a minute of the show cause I couldn't trust anyone to watch the door...Having to stop the local opener's entourage from jumping on stage and beating up MGK becuase the first thing MGK did was get on the mic and talk shit about them AND the Miami Heat (it was the first year Lebron came, and regardless of what ESPN tells you, heat fans are actually pretty die hard)

Going outside to smoke a cigarette behind a club only to be followed outside by Tek from Coco Brovas who needed a light. Then messing with him about wearing a hoodie in tims in July in Miami.

Having Stic man from dead prez be a total dick to me during his set point me out talking bout "if you just here to get fucked up and enjoy the music we aint trying to fuck with you"....then when their singer got on stage she was stumbling drunk and couldn't perform and the crowd booed them until they ended their set early...those guys are dicks...seriously.

Then meeting and recording Stic man in person at the studio 2 days later and having awesome converations about life and spirituality and how puerto ricans are africans and shit lol. I didn't give him a hard time about the show because at this point I was just like this guy is kinda full of shit.

Seeing De La Soul live in 2001
Seeing Prince Paul perform
Seeing Pete Rock and CL Smooth w/ Camp Lo
Basically every album in 93-94 has some kind of amazing memory attached with it.
