when i lived in reno nevada, my mom worked at the hilton hotel and casino and they had a hip hop expo there (this was maybe 8 years ago...) i didnt personaly "meet" any of them but saw, puff daddy (when he was still known as puff daddy lol), 69 boyz, TLC, Snoop and some others... if i was my age now i would have apriciated it a lot more... after the artists left the people handed out promos and other free shit, it was pretty cool but i wish it happend now instead of back then.
