“This was shot for a piece on Ad-Rock’s break into the world of acting for the New York Times. My editor wanted me to shoot him in a playground to play on the fact that he is notoriously kid-less yet plays a hipster dad in “While We’re Young.” I was nervous that we were going to get in trouble with the parents the park since there are many signs you need to be accompanied by kids to be in the gated area, but it seemed like all the moms knew who he was and no one said a thing as Adam slid down the slides, climbed the Jungle Jim or climbed up all the ladders with all of their kids.”

“The chicks like Usher, but you don’t see him flaunting chicks. I guess he was married for a long time. I just thought it would be cool to put him in this context that I’ve never seen him in: Women like this dude; let’s put him in between a girl’s legs. I don’t know if Jonnetta, his mom, would be happy, but it made sense to me. The girl was a random model who shot for editorial for GQ, but they never used that shot. I was looking at the print and I was like, ‘This looks like where Usher should be.’”

About Kenneth Cappello

While working as a “drunk barback,” he “began building sets as a hired carpenter for this guy named David LaChapelle,” he shares. “I had no idea how huge he was when I got hired. I got onto his set and was like, Oh, shit, this is where photos come from—this is a photo studio, this is a stylist, this is where photos are made. That really cracked my head open to take what I had always done just as ‘this thing’ to another level.”

RESPECT. looks back at an excerpt  from Pamela Littky’s extraordinary work featuring Mr. Carter, that was showcased in RESPECT. in 2013.

Here’s a piece of Hip-Hop history!

 

LIL WAYNE

Los Angeles, 2007

 

“That was my second time working with him, and I honestly just love the shit out of him. He’s such a sweet guy, and super willing, and really fun. I really enjoyed that shoot. I went back and I was looking at all the proofs, and it’s so much…he’s just laughing, and you can tell we were having this really fun exchange.”
