as time went on and things changed, so did cream of beat. the monthly parties have stopped. now, it's once a year. this year was, tonight, thanks giving night with Camp Lo head lining. i heard about it last minute and assured myself i wasn't going to miss this. and i didn't.
i was taken back to my favorite era of hip hop. all the dj's that spun, spun all my favorites. however, a non pirate dj by the name of Apollo pretty much killed it, just before Camp Lo came on. he spun nothing but classics during his entire set. it was bliss.
as you can see with the photos above, it was very very very dark in there and i was quite shocked that Mighty "the best new club in america: URB magazine" didn't have proper lighting for the dj's NOR any other performer on their stage. as a photographer, i'm not a big fan of flash photography, not at events like this and since someone has stolen my flash, i barely got the shot above. forget Camp Lo, even with my better than average eye-sight, i could barely make out their faces with my very own eyes and i was standing about 8' away. they might as well have just spun their music.
oh well. the beat goes on and the shutter keeps clickin'.
