Foto DC Flash ([DC Area] Hip-Hop Photography Exhibit)
This is pretty cool. Unfortunately today was the last day of the exhibition. From Sidney Thomas (the author of Diamonds In The Raw):
While I was doing research for my book, Diamonds In The Raw, I took over 7000 photographs at various venues around the city. I organized some of these photographs into a collection entitled Inner City Rhythms and submitted them to a panel of experts at the Corcoran Gallery of Art. The advisory panel reviewed the portfolios of over 280 photographers and I was among 30 selected to exhibit their work (2 to 6 images each) at the FOTO DC “FLASH” exhibit in Crystal City.
My collection consists of photographs of local hip-hop and go-go artists. The location of the FOTO DC “FLASH” exhibition is 2450 Crystal Drive 12th and 13th Floor Penthouse – Crystal City, VA (Arlington, VA). The exhibit lasts from March 18 – April 18, 2011. They have a bar that serves wine & beer, and on weekend evenings a DJ will perform. There will also be special events held in conjunction with FOTO DC which you can find out about by going to their website (www.fotoweekdc.org).

Because, you know, that’s what everyone wants to hear. Politics.
Nicki Salutes Soldiers. Soldiers Probably Salute Her.
I sense this Nicki Minaj lap dance thing becoming a great joke the more she does this.
Chris Brown – She Can Get It
Yes….yes she can. I have no clue where this song is from, though.
Dom Kennedy Performs At Aggiefest In Greensboro, NC
I’m not one to scream Aggie Pride, but as an alum of NCATSU it is pretty cool to watch this. Not to mention the fact that ‘Designer Shit’ is easily my favorite track off the The Original Dom Kennedy.
