Here is a pic I took that is on Rolling Stone site! Rolling Stone is the best music mag that I know of. So it has been a goal to get published in it. So, having one of my photos being on the site is one step closer to the goal.

Jay Z came out to the 1992 jumpie to hear Cudi rock

20 October 2008, 11.35 | Posted in mel d cole | 49 comments »

Jay Z x Kid Cudi.

This might be one of my favorite photos.

Jay showed up and I got word. Walked up and took a pic of him and Vashtie. Boom stepped off.

Was like fuck I would love to get him and myself for my idea that I have. You know the one where I take pic of myself and others.

So yeah, Jay stayed well past Cudi’s short but stellar performance. Dude rocked SICK!

After the set I saw that Jay was still there. I see Zoe Kravitz, we sya what ups. I go damn I wanna get a you, Jay Z and Vashtie. She says maybe later…. I go Cool.

I guess it was not such a great idea but the pic woulda been great for the archives.

Soon after I see Jay walk up to the www.arabparrot.com. Once I seen this I already knew what was going on.

Just earlier Parrot asked me How did I get a pic of Jay. He got the No Way from Jay x Vashtie just a few mins after I took thier pics.

So i just figured Jay was talking to Parrot about some pic shit. I assumed AP took a sneak tip joint..so did Jay so that’s what it was all about. Everything was cool no AP X Jay Z beef.

So, lucky me. I got to take one other photo of Jay Z. The one of Cudi and Jay. Which is going to be that photo for Cudi for a min.
Jay Z x Kid Cudi

Kid Cudi photo shoot for his Vibe Mag feature:
Side note: They went with another photogs work. I am sure I am going to like my shit better and be a tad bit jelly. But those are the breaks!

Shit was mad last min. I came to the studio around 830ish. We chilled for a min. Then walked around the top part of soho.

Cudi is a cool ass dude. He is down for what ever. He came up with shit and so did I.

Here is one of his ideas…. ( which I loved)

flyer

Cudi was like ok. I am gonna run. I am like bet. He starts to run.
“Mel D. Cole” You gotta run too!” I started rolling!

I heard he has stopped smoking? I wonder if that means weed too? I remember I use to smoke a gang of trees back in the day. Now, I drink a gang of bud. I had some Ice tea shit the other day at the bar. I needed something stronger…I was very sad yo. My Bills were getting man handled by the fucking Cards!

Ok back to the post…
So yeah , I love taking pics of people exhaling smoke.

IMG_5679small
This one right here was one that we both came up with.
We were looking around for shit and boom. We saw this big rig truck. 2 light bulbs popped up abover our heads.

We did that pic there and a few others that I will show you.

I love the “truck” photos cause they are right for what he was going for.
That rugged shit. And what’s more rugged then a fucking truck driver? Not much so shut the fuck up!
