Shout out to nasty ones for allowing me to contribute to their blog. So my weekend started Thursday Nite, where I attended The Footprints In Hip Hop Concert @ Nokia Theater in Times Sq NYC. Lineup included Mickey Factz, Keith Murray, Ghostface Killah and Redman & Method Man. Now ive seen Keith Murray peform before but nothing like this. His energy was felt throughout the whole crowd as he did classics like "The Most Beautiful Thing". He then did something I never seen before. He reaches out to the crowd and ask if they mind if he stage dove into them and crowd surfed. Crowd responded back by chanting & throwing their hands up in the air as a sign that they are ready to recieve him. He takes 3 steps back and comes flying down the stage & superman's into the crowds arm (not once but 3x). Ghostface conquered the stage next doing most of his classics from "Supreme Clientle" & had the crowd buggin when he brought out Raekwon The Chef To Do Classics Like "Cream & Incarcerated Scarfaces" Finally Red & Meth blessed the stage and just shut the place down. Meth was pulling l's straight from the crowd and blowing it down right on stage as if it was nothing. Shit got crazy when they started throwing water into the crowd & in return the crowd throwing whatever they had in their possession from cups with ice to water bottles. That was my cue to dip because I cant afford to replace my Canon 50d because of water damage. Check my facebook for some of the pics or check the article that Rap Up did...

Saturday I was in attedance for the Americas Most Wanted Tour Ft Drake, Jeezy, Soulja Boy & Lil Wayne @ Nikon Theater In Jones Beach. The only thing I have to say about this is whoever is running that tour sucks. They wanted us to shoot from the soundboard which was pretty far from the stage and with people right in front of us who are trying to enojy the concert. So pics were not happening on my end. Funny thing is I almost got kicked out because of my guerilla style of photography. I snuck away from the sound board and got into a private seating area and took advantage for the 5 secs i was able to shoot there but got snatched up quickly by security who lead me back to the soundboard area...Super Wack...But hey i tried. Cant knock me for that...
