Detroit is rapidly earning its dues as a hip-hop Mecca. So it's only natural that Hip Hop Immortals should land on that hallowed Motown soil. With over 500 hip-hop fanatics making their way to the presidential State Theater, the Detroit premier of Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids became the event of the year. Proof of D-12 fame was one of the many who came out and represented for both the home-team and hip-hop itself. Hypnotiq, as well as Courvoisier and our friends at Technology all played a critical role in making this event the massive success it became. Detroit may not be as large as LA or New York in square miles or bodies, but the love of hip-hop burns as intensely there as anyplace we've been and we'd like to thank the Motor City for being such a gracious host. Photo Album         May 21st, 2004 Hello England! HHI Drives On The Wrong Side of the Road! Hip Hop Immortals has expanded its empire. The triumphant return to English soil signaled a call to arms for hip-hop heads in Great Britain and beyond. The Proud Galleries played host to the history-making event that featured GZA, The Nextmen, Rodney P and Skitz, DJ Woody and Broke ‘n' English, and Roots Manuva among others. The backdrop of hip-hop's most iconic photographs added to the one-of-a-kind atmosphere. The crowd was an invite-only collection of die-hard fans and celebrity-tastemakers; including Damon Dash, Jonathan Mannion, Jim Fiscus, and countless others. The party also acted as a celebration for Motorola and its new Push To Talk technology. As the event's sponsor, Motorola worked tirelessly to ensure the party and the exhibition itself shakes the foundation of hip-hop culture. The opening night was a perfect way to kick-off what will surely become a landmark: the world's most comprehensive exhibit dedicated solely to the images of hip-hop culture. Photo Album         April 8th, 2004 Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids Crushes The Birth Place Of HipHop With Help from the biggest club in the city CROBAR and our friends Tommy Jeans "There hasn't been a party that wild since the 80's!" -Anonymous Partier Pack it up. It's over. Only April and already the party-of-the-year has come and gone. Those who were in attendance can share stories of the night with the less fortunate but, really, it can't do the event any real justice. You would've had to have been there to believe 3,000 people kept the party going well into the morning. It seems impossible if you didn't see it with your own eyes. The world's premier party DJ, Kid Capri, set the crowd on fire with a set that never let up. Fabulous, Pharaohe Monch, Q Tip, Carl Thomas, P. Diddy and NFL great Warren Sapp are among the celebrities who joined us for this history-making event. Fittingly held at CroBar, the year's hottest party was hosted at the City's hottest club. Tommy Jeans teamed up with Hip Hop Immortals to level the borough of Manhattan and rebuild it as a hip-hop utopia for one night. Thanks to all involved and if you're lucky we'll see you at the next party! Photo Album         April 2nd to May 8th, 2004 Hip Hop Immortals hit Washington big time! The opening night was an atmospheric event that rocked the city. Photographers, art critics, journalist and many more sipped wine, admired photographs, and enjoyed a night of decadence at the prestigious Govinda gallery. This was an occasion that will go down in Washington's history as the event that sealed the marriage between Hip-Hop and High Art. Photo Album         February 12th, 2004 Going Back To Cali: Hip Hop Immortals Takes It to the West Coast The City Of Angeles becomes the City Of Immortals! To celebrate the release of Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids, we premiered the film February 12th in sunny Los Angeles. The esteemed Pacific Design Center acted as our host, Hennessy is supplied the drinks, and the biggest names in music, film, and sports had a chance to finally see what the buzz is about. Boo Yaa TRIBE, Special Ed, Yukmouth, MC Lyte, and many more took their stroll down the red carpet, while invitees from every walk of life enjoyed the West Coast unveiling of hip-hop's most talked about film. Photo Album         January 20th, 2004 "We're Taking On The Globe" HHI Returns to the Land of Tea and Crumpets Hip Hop Immortals became part of the British Academy of Film & Television Arts rich 50 year history. The prestigious school, devoted exclusively to the crafts of film and video, held a London screening of Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids. The excitement surrounding HHIWGYK has been building in the UK since last year's photography exhibition at the Proud Gallery in Camden. It was evident during the screening that these weren't just hip-hop fans watching the film; they were Hip Hop Immortals fans. The audience reaction was definite and excited. Everyone at the screening, ourselves included, was pleasantly surprised by guest appearances from some of England's rising hip-hop stars. We can't wait to get back on Her Majesty's soil and look forward to this spring's return to The Proud Gallery with a completely new exhibition. Cheers! Photo Album         December 20th, 2003 Meet The Press The time finally came to share ourselves with the world. The November 20, 2003 press-only screening of Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids delivered laughs, moments of intensity, and more than enough conversation fodder for the packed theatre at The Tribeca Grand Hotel. Journalists from all manner of media were present at the invite-only event; along with some of the faces from the film, all of whom were seeing the final product for the first time. The response was more than we could've asked for and we'd like to thank everyone for being there.           November 20th, 2003 Liberty Bell, Cheese Steak, Rocky, and Now Hip Hop Immortals Hip Hop Immortals crushed the city of brotherly love Thursday November 20, 2003, with a party that won't soon be forgotten. The infamous Baby DST worked the wheels of steel, the club walls were lit with a surprise screening of Hip Hop Immortals We Got Your Kids, and a good time was had by all. Grandmaster Caz, Waterbed Kev, Melle Mel, Bonz Malone, graf artist Tramp, Rahiem, and Schoolly-D, were among those that attended. Special thanks to the Okplayer team for making us feel so welcome. Photo Album         November 6th, 2003 Hip Hop Immortals Conquers Virgin Hip Hop Immortals threw a Remix Edition book-signing and film screening that quickly turned into a piece of hip-hop history. Unbeknownst to the crowd gathered at Virgin, this was to be the public's first preview of the We Got Your Kids film. With the movie looming larger than life on the giant screen and scattered all over the store on smaller televisions, Virgin Megastore ground to a halt. Transfixed to the screens, event attendees and shoppers alike were welded in place. That is, until the event started. Grandmaster Caz of Cold Crush fame assumed DJ duties for half the evening, setting the tone with a demonstration of true hip-hop know-how. DP One took the turntables and kicked the party into the high gear his sets are famous for. What happened next wasn't planned, but with so much talent in one room perhaps we should have expected it. Grandmaster Caz was joined by fellow Cold Crush Brother AD, Daddy-O of Stetsasonic, Grandmaster Melle Mel of The Furious Five fame, Kool Moe Dee and others in an epic MC session that took us from the 70's South Bronx to Midtown 2003. Bonz Malone couldn't stay behind the signing table and was soon up in the action as well. Bringing another element all this gave celebrity photographers Jonathan Mannion, Atsuko Tanaka, Ivery Serra, Ernie Paniccioli and David Corio an opportunity to work on their day off. We'd like to thank everyone that attended, all the artists, and Virgin Megastore for hosting the event. Photo Album         January 16th, 2003 UK Release Party The UK Release Party for Hip Hop Immortals was an overwhelming Immortal event.
