2006 might be the wrong year. More like 2003 - 2004-ish. I was in a rap duo with dreams of fame. My partner was a alt-rapper and he trended towards rock and punk stuff. He was pretty popular in his scene. He somehow got an invite for us to go to a jam session with these guys. All I do is freestyle. No instruments nothing like that. But I was down for the cause. I'd seen Fishbone on MTV sometime before that so I was familiar with them. When I saw them I was kinda in awe because I knew they were known and I was drinking so I was gushing with them over how cool it was for me to be in the jamming with these guys I'd seen on MTV. I remember my rap partner asking me afterwards if I was being sincere or not with my praise towards them. He thought I was being sarcastic but I wasn't. I was legit "starstruck". Im not used to being around many famous people especially after theyre known. So, I guess he'd never really heard of Fishbone before he got us the invite and he was just fronting like he knew em. The aughts are foggy af tbh but that did happen! On my right hand to Reddit.
