Hip-Hop Doc "Jamel Shabazz Street Photographer" in Brooklyn Tmrw!!! (6/26)

The world premiere of this documentary about a New York photographer who captured the genesis of hip-hop in the city will feature a Q&A with the man himself, Jamel Shabazz. As the style, slang, and swagger of the genre slowly fused together in the late 1970s, Shabazz was there to freeze it all in time, shooting everything around him. There’s plenty of graffiti, sneakers, and gold chains in these images, but the overriding feel in his photographs is a sense of newness, of a culture finding its own identity and running with it.

Directed by Charlie Ahearn, who examined a different angle of this particular cultural phenomenon with his 1983 classic Wild Style. Check the trailer for the Shabazz film here.—Finn Cohen

Glamour Says: Oral Sex- A Slick Move For Your Man To Use On You

Glamour Says:

Before your guy goes down on you, give him a little tutorial. Kiss his mouth the way you’d like him to kiss you down there. Nibble on his lips, dart your tongue in and out of his mouth, do whatever little tricks you think might give you goosebumps. He’ll head down south turned on from kissing (and from your little lesson) and you’ll be in for quite the treat.

Rihanna Getting Sued Twice Over S&M Video For Copyright Infringement

Photographer Phillip Paulus is furious with Rihanna. So much so, that he’s going to drag her into court. He’s accusing her of ripping off his ideas and using them in her S&M video! Apparently he has a series of fashion photographs called “Paperworld” which he claims have turned up, identical in each minute detail, in Ri-Ri’s video! His lawyers are taking the copyright infringement very seriously, which could mean big trouble for the singer.

Phillip isn’t shying away from talking about the screw up. He’s stated,“Why a worldwide celebrity is not able to afford a creative director, who creates individual concepts and staging, is incomprehensible for me. To create new things within the creative cosmos, you can only expect this to come from a real genius, there is no doubt about that.”And then comes the real blow which literally made us go “ouch:”“However, in this case there is no real genius who created their own work instead they stole ideas from a creative talent. Furthermore every other creative professional should realize how supremely embarrassing it is to copy the work of colleagues from the artistic world and then to be praised for it.”

In Paulus’s Paperworld, there are images of a model wearing a flouncy gown pinned back by a sheet of plastic. She’s surrounded by black tape X’s on the wall that she’s pushed up against. The same imagery and placing is in Rihanna’s video as well. It depicts a model in a poofy gown trapped against a wall by a sheet of plastic, surrounded by big X’s made out of black tape. In it, Rihanna also wears a big dress and is constricted by a layer of plastic against a wall, with nearly identical X’s around her. Uber-photog David LaChappelle has sued Rihanna as well, for the same video and the same copyright infringement issue. He claimed she appropriated the “composition, total concept, feel, tone, mood, theme, colours, props, settings, decors, wardrobe and lighting” of some of his work. thefablife
