Read an excerpt...

I remember not wanting to get too close to Tupac Shakur at the party for "A Low Down Dirty Shame" in 1994. I thought he was a troublemaker and dangerous. But after seeing "Tupac: Resurrection," I realized the media made him into something he wasn't. My lost.

I remember sitting next to Erykah Badu at a round table interview for Mama's Gun and every time she laughed, she would slap my leg (plus her naked leg would show through the garb she was wearing). How did I stay in control? The other journalists at my table thought I was a lucky bastard.

I remember having a phone conversation with a Chicago news editor (who will remain nameless because I can't stand his annoying ass) the day Halle Berry was nominated for an Oscar. This news editor said Halle wasn't going to win because she is Black. The week Halle won, this same news editor said to me in another phone conversation that she only won because she's half white. Idiot.

I remember talking to Brandy in 2002 and she told me, "You talk, you talk really calm and mellow. It doesn't really feel like an interview. It feels like we're just having a conversation. And that's what makes it cool it's good to feel like that. It doesn't feel like it's a job for you. It feels like you are really interested in talking."

I remember giving singer Monica my music demo after interviewing her. She seemed real nice about it. So...why did I get an email later on from Lois Najarian (who was vice president at the time of publicity at J Records) telling me, these are not her words, but basically, not to do that shit again? In the beginning, I thought Monica was fucked up, but I can't blame her anymore since I don't know what really went down.

I remember running into former adult star Heather Hunter at a movie theater to see "Dude, Where's My Car?"

I remember telling actress Nia Long that I didn't see how her character was a friend with Lisa Nicole Carson's character in "Love Jones." She had an attitude after that.

I remember watching Beyoncé perform the same two songs over and over, "Crazy In Love" and "Baby Boy." I'm not complaining though. I enjoyed myself immensely so did my male friends. All men need to see Beyoncé's booty live! We were at a taping for the NBC Macy's Fourth Of July Spectacular at Grant's Tomb in New York. Girl shook everything her mother gave her!

But I remember Aaliyah most of all! I was in your presence for two days in May 2001. I'm sure you remember me. Aaliyah, I miss new music from you. I miss seeing you dance. I miss you on the big screen. I miss everything about you. I witnessed your mind. I witnessed your body. I witnessed your soul. And now all those great things are gone. Why are you not here anymore? I guess God knows. I will forever cherish the photo we took together. I heard Aaliyah's mom received 35 million in the wrongful death suit. Do you think moms should have got more or less?
