LL Cool J
Years Back, I had the opportunity to meet the Hip Hop Legend LL Cool J. He was doing a book signing at the Paramount Walmart. He had been out of the public eye for a while and this event was held right before he made his comeback. So there was not a big turnout. But I thought the impact he had on pop culture in the 80s and 90s would draw in a descent size crowd. To my surprise there was almost nobody in the line to meet him. I actually went through the line a couple times. The signing was free you just had to buy a copy of his children's book, which was like 15 bucks. He was another class act. He is one of the nicest celebrities I have ever met. He kept calling me the And1 kid (because of my t shirt). I was able to get a copy of his book signed and some promotional flyers. This was the early days of my collecting, so I didn't think to have him sign an album or something. Still he is one of my favorite artist of all time, so any item with a signature is fine by me. Sidenote: The body guard had to join in the picture with his stylish shades (lol).
