iKnowTANK's LESSON's in HIP-HOP


The following are accurate accounts of some of the greatest moments in Hip Hop told by the artist themselves. What makes these videos so special is the fact that one way or another I have shared a small moment with them all. These video's were all produced by D-NICE who also Know'sTANK and was a great inspiration in my venturing into photography...he always tells me the same thing "KEEP SHOOTING..." and yes sir Mr. Nice, iWILL.

D-Nice Presents True Hip-Hop Stories: Monie Love from D-Nice on Vimeo.

MONIE LOVE(Know'sTANK...well actually she knows my man Safari way better than me but I gave her a t-shirt for her daughter in Miami and we talked about North Carolina. I saw her again like a year later and she remembered me...and she's HOT)


True Hip-Hop Stories - Kwame from D-Nice on Vimeo.
KWAME(Know'sTANK...I saw him in NY at 106 & Park,word to Josh Brown and Renaldo,the stylist to the stars. I also sat with him in Miami at the HIT FACTORY. We chopped it up while he was making beats and I was burning cd's. Just so happened that everyone else left the studio and I was the only person left that could give him a ride to the hotel...my pleasure)


True Hip-Hop Stories: Lords of The Underground from D-Nice on Vimeo.
LORDS OF THE UNDERGROUND(Know'sTANK...in his mind. I give them props because theywent to SHAW UNIVERSITY in Raleigh,NC and they used to wear the crazy AACA[African American College Association] gear and "HEAR COME THE LORDS" used to be my joint.)


True Hip-Hop Stories: Sadat X of Brand Nubian from D-Nice on Vimeo.
SADAT X OF BRAND NUBIAN(Know'sTANK...I used to see him all the time. Grand Puba is my cousin and I worked at DTP with Alamo...and the Big Homie. I didn't know how big Brand Nubian was when I was younger until older heads started to tell me...)
