    Getting dap from Bruce Springsteen during "10th Avenue Freeze Out" a second before the tribute to Clarence Clemmons at the Oracle Arena in Oakland, California.

    Getting on stage with RZA, GZA, Masta Killa, Inspecta Deck and Cappadonna and having them sign my workboots while I drank from RZA's jug of Absolute Vodka at Moose's Tooth in Anchorage, Ak.


    Getting on stage for the encore of "Kiss me I'm shitfaced" with Drop Kickmurphys at Chilkoot Charlie's in Anchorage, Ak.


    Getting backstage and meeting George Clinton at Parliament Funkadelic because his protege Kendra Foster wanted to f--- me... At Aleyeska Resort in Girdwood, Ak.


    Walking the red carpet during the Saw III world premiere and watching Static-X perform at Rain Night Club from backstage and side stage at Palms Casino in Las Vegas.

    Hooking up with two California girls, meeting many musicians, taking some drugs, making eye contact with Scarlett Johansson when she was singing with the Jesus and Marychain and getting to the front rail of the stage when Rage Against The Machine re-united at Coachella in Indio, California.

    Seeing Vince Staples last year at Laneway when it was my first ever music festival, the crowd was so energetic. :wow5:

    Seeing Kerser this year f---ing k--- it at Prince in Melbourne - pretty intimate venue.

    Saw Kerser at his first Melbourne gig and smoked a joint with him and his crew backstage and hung out with him in the street.





    Eminem when I was younger was cool, mainly because he hadn't been to Aus since like '99 or something.

    Was on stage with Game in a similar situation to the person talking about the Jay Elec concert.

    Robbie Williams (one of my biggest guilty pleasures) was fantastic too.

    Lorde was good too. Saw her spur of the moment when a friend had a spare ticket.

    Been on stage with Will Sparks and Alex Jones too.

    - Kanye, Glow in the Dark Tour in London '08 was epic
    - high af on cough syrup at Wayne concert in '11
    - saw Em in '14 but that was trash

    Eminem at Lolla in 2010 when I was a nut hugger. He puts on a great show and played all the classics.

    Seen Future twice this summer so far and he was amazing. Once in ATL which was unreal due to the atmosphere, but I was rolling way too hard and kind of ruined the show for me lol. Saw him again 2 weeks ago in Chicago and it was incredible.

    Any time I see Thugga it's GOAT, he could be shi--ing into the mic and i wouldn't care lmao

    Vic Mensa at Lolla last year was fire.

    Drake/Lil Wayne a few years back when they did the head to head Street Fighter thing was pretty different and awesome,

    Joe Budden, Saturday March 25 2006, Boston

    It was Joe's first time performing in like 3 years. Buncha people from Budden's old message board all met up and partied all weekend at Holiday Inn. i met some dude from the board in northern toronto (i live near detroit and it was like 4 hours straight north into Canada), then we all drove from northern Canada to Boston, crazy long road trip.. Budden was kickin it with the fans all weekend at the hotel

    Concert itself, I was front row, Joe was like rapping on my shoulder at one point and giving me dap's during songs, I was spazzing reciting word for word lol. He was shouting me out on stage, best time of my life lol. I'd interacted with him alot on the board from '03-06 to where it was all love lol

    I made a "Joe 3:16" sign as a joke; he autographed it and wrote "Dear SLAYAR hope you had as much fun as i did 1 love" lol still got the sign

    Then the morning after the concert, that Sunday, when everyone was leaving the hotel and all the fans were getting final autographs etc from Budden, I walked up to him as a joke raised my shirt and asked him to sign my heart

    My avi (profile pic) on here, is from when Budden showed up in our hotel room pregaming/partying before his own show lol cheah!!!!!

    I blew up a beach ball which got tossed around the crowd and got stuck under Elton John's piano in a Vermont concert!

    I got to see Nas and Damien Marley perform their collab album on the shore of a lake.

    My favorite was when I was lucky enough to attend one of the Eminem/Jay-z concerts in Yankee stadium. They brought out Dre, 50 cent, G-Unit, D12, Kanye, nicki Minaj, Beyoncé, B.O.B, and Coldplay as guests!
