Snoop Dogg (Lion) is in the house
I love the variety of experiences I get as a photographer. This particular evening I had the opportunity to be on stage with Snoop Dogg. He wasn't in normal performance mode, but instead was acting as the DJ for the evening. This was an event put on by Adidas
and I was hired to document the event. Snoop creates an energized
party atmosphere and plays a range of music that spans different
genres. While most of his music was hip-hop, rap, and R&B he also
snuck in some more mainstream pop music to round it out. He's got a
pretty good sense of humor too and got me laughing pretty hard at some
of his unexpected choices like Cindi Lauper's "Girls Just Wanna Have
Fun". The opening act was DJ Baby Chino
who is dubbed as the world's youngest DJ because he's been DJ'ing since
he was 5 years old. Most of what HE was playing was hip-hop from the
80's. I should go now so I can find my shell-toe Adidas shoes and my Run DMC cassette tape.
