Jim Jones Performance with Funk Master Flex at Guest House

Last Thursday I was asked to shoot
FUNKMASTER FLEX @ FLY HIGH THURSDAYS
Hosted By Jim Jones & Maino. I was pleasantly surprised.

Funk Master Flex was on the tables most of the night and Jim Jones hopped in the DJ booth to rock a couple of songs.
In all honesty, I am not the biggest Jim Jones fan, I mean, he named himself after a cult leader...but i think the dude has charisma out of this atmosphere and he kept the party rocking.
But before all of that...applause, for the people!!!







Dj Envy


Funk Master Flex on the turntables...Don't sleep, Flex was doing his thing.

I never caught this dude's name, but he was Djing with Flex...he killed it!!

My man from the Wire, JD Williams.

Nuff said.

Now, that's a party!!!!!!!!! Get it girl!!!!!!

I had to leave to get batteries and on my way back in, this young lady asked me to take a picture of her.

Jim Jones on the mic...when this dude hit the booth, the whole club went crazy...as if it didn't already smell like dank in the club....

Jim Jones and Flex.

On my way out, I ran into this dude (he was cool)...we talked about politics for twenty or thirty minutes.
I won't reveal his political leanings, but let's just say that we disagree on some major issues.
All this to say...vote...for Obama.

After the party, I went to my girlfriends crib, packed and took a cab to the airport...next stop Atlanta!!!!!!! Look out for the next couple of posts...Oval Party ATl, Mckibbin Party, and Rosetta Stoned Show at Cake Shop.

Hip-Hop Summit Action Network party

Ok. Wednesday night was pretty cool. I had to shoot the red carpet for the Hip Hip Action Summit screening of their new PSA. Now, here is the thing -- I like to shoot the red carpet and the party. Normally the red carpet is hectic, I spend a lot of time waiting for people that never show up, and often it is cold, hot, raining...etc...and then you don't get to go into the party.
Wack.
Last night was alright. It rained a little (but the press area was covered), we weren't out there for very long, and I got the shots that I needed...but I still couldn't go into the party.
WACK!!
enjoy.

Russell Simmons.

Russel Simmons was pretty cool with talking to the media, and did a couple of interviews for some web Tv shows...he also had an interesting interaction with a reporter from In Touch mag. Other people were asking him about the event, politics and hip hop; this woman asked him out of blue about his divorce and financial situation with Kimora Lee Simmons.!! He responded by saying, "You know I'm not going to talk about that Bullshit...it's all in the court papers."
He took it pretty well, and I like the fact that he showed some emotion without acting crazy...that's what's up.

So, all in all, it was a good night. A little bit of rain, only 1.5 hours on the carpet, and a couple of cool photos. Peace
