U.T.F.O. circa 1984 on my IG

U.T.F.O. In the catacombs of The Olympic Auditorium in Los Angeles circa 1985. This was probably the first Hip-Hop group i ever made photos with, besides the Beastie Boys... This was around the time their huge single "Roxanne, Roxane" was hitting. The show was a real eye opener for me, the tiny stage, the lip-synching, no band, were all things i was not expecting at a huge 1000's of people live show. Kurtis Blow was headlining, and some kid got killed on the floor that night, I was told later in a big gang fight that broke out. But the most interesting story of the night happened before the show...but you'll have to ask me about that one next time you see me and we have the time... #hiphop #classicRap #UTFO #OldSchool #uncleJamsArmy #DoctorIce #mixmasterICE #TheEducatedRapper #KidKangol #humblebeginnings i think this photo appears in the collage in the back of the MY RULES book.. #inspiration #photography #BooksAreTheRealDeal #MyRules #GetTheNewBook
