I didn't get to say much about the show last night! I was too tired and hurting. Jeff Tha Profitt Kowalewski awesome event as always. Ogun Bmorehero is by far the best host that I have seen at an event. The place was packed early. I guess it takes a name like Joell Ortiz to be headlining the show for people to actually come out and on time.
The acts were a range of talent and styles. From the lone artist on stage to having 20 people behind the artists and none of those 20 know the lyrics to the songs...they just want to be seen I guess! I never will understand that.
It was a very long night I will say. I don't even know how many acts there were until the cypher began. But there were a lot! It was good because those acts had supporters and the came out in full force.
The cypher was kinda awesome. A few names I know and more that I didn't!! And for these artists to be able to show their talent to someone of Joelle Ortiz's caliber had to be an awesome thing. This guy was so down to Earth and humble. He was just a pleasure to see perform and to hear speak to the local artists.
The main talk that I heard is that Shy Lady Heroin killed the cypher. And although there are personal issues, I will never take away from her abilities or talent. Some may say that it was because she was the only female in the cypher and you could probably argue that but you can't argue her talent.
I left before anything was judged or whatever the case was with the event. I was tired and my body was hurting and ready to give up. I'm really getting too old to be out on my feet for hours taking pictures! One of the main reasons I have slowed down and don't go to many shows......my health just won't let me.
If you ever see Profitt Productions on a flyer or mentioned or Profnation, please be sure to check out the event! I can guarantee you will not be disappointed.
Pictures from the event will be posted in the next day or so! I have a couple other events to go through first. But check out Baltimore Paparazzi and hit LIKE. Once I post them, they will pop up on your newsfeed. Also check out Baltimore Paparazzi website for other events, videos of local artists and a range of other things!

Shows, Events and Professionalism
I came into the music scene here in Baltimore as a fan. Slowly I became much more. I don't know how it happened but the next thing I knew I was The Baltimore Paparazzi....the one who took all the pictures of all the artists at all the shows and even did a recap on my MySpace and Facebook pages.
I became known more than a lot of the artists who claimed that everyone knew them in the city. All because of my pictures.
Last year I decided to throw shows so that local artists would have a platform to be able to perform. There are quite a few artists/rappers who had never been on a stage and my event was their first. And then there were some who have been on stage numerous times and didn't think they were too big to perform at The 5 Seasons.
Now the title says Professionalism and that's on purpose. I try to be as professional as I can and yes sometimes I slip just like everyone else but usually it is because someone pulls me out of character.
My events are 12 artists, each with 12 mins on stage. I require that the artists pay a $25 deposit on 15 tickets and then they only owe $50 the night of the show! So that's $75. They sell the tickets for $10. So that is $150. Minus the $75 and the artist made $75 on selling their tickets!
Some people might not agree with selling tickets but to me if they don't sell them, nine times out of ten the artists will be only performing in front of other artists who all paid for a slot. That might be fine for some but not for me! I want people in the building and I have a staff to pay as well. DJ, Host, Door person and Production not to mention the venue!
Then there is the being on time that really gets to me. If I say I need the artists there at a certain time it is so we can get the show started and not be rushing to be done with the show. But it seems like most want to come late and think they are going to go on stage as soon as they get there! SMH
Seems like most artists are wanting to be on the big stages and get big shows but can't even be professional at the entry level. I have seen this more so in the past couple of years. I understand that no one is stepping up and mentoring these artists/rappers and maybe that's what needs to be done. Most get a little buzz and then get an ego. If I put your name on a flyer, how many people are truly coming? The test has been done time and time again......and its not in their favor.
I am going to continue to try and keep my show going for those who truly love what they do and to get more exposure. It may just be The 5 Seasons......well The Hott Spott and it maybe just a little venue but it is my way of helping this culture stay alive!!!!

June 8, 2005 Rest In Peace Rodney Russell Privette
In December 2003, a man and I connected on Black Planet. We talked through there and eventually went to Yahoo Messenger. Then to phone calls. I had just gone through a bad break-up. After 3 and a half years the man I was going to marry up and married someone else 8 months after I moved to Baltimore. Talk about feeling foolish.
.jpg)
He spent a month and a half in Johns Hopkins. I was there, at work, college and trying to raise my kids. I finally had to quit my job. It was too hard. Especially not knowing how much time I had left with him.
On June 6, 2005, Rodney and I exchanged vows in front of the hospital chaplin and she prayed with us. She said that in God's eyes we were married and a piece of paper wasn't going to change that. They wouldn't issue a marriage certificate because Rodney was on Morphine by this time.
On June 8, 2005, I went to the hospital at 4 pm. I opened the door and seen my father in law. I know something had happened or was about to happen. The doctors took him off all of the medicines that were keeping him alive and we were going to let Rodney go. Neither Mr. William or I truly wanted this but there was nothing else the doctors could do. The damage was too severe and he was no longer a candidate for a transplant. He stopped taking his medicines and gave up months before and that's why we were sitting in the hospital.
I had planned on leaving the hospital at around 8pm if nothing happened and go be with the kids. At 7:55pm they pronounced him dead. I was holding his hand and talking to him while he slipped away. I told him that it was ok to go. We all were going to be ok. I just didn't want him to suffer and be in pain anymore. I told him that I loved him and the kids loved him and to just go ahead and go. I was in his face when he took his last breath. He never woke up to talk to his dad and the last words he said to me were the night before as I was leaving. He said tell the kids I love them and I love you.
9 years later and it still hurts. I have tried to move on in my love life with no luck. I have dated over the years and had friends but they always seem to want to play games or be so untruthful. I never compare anyone to Rodney because he was one of a kind to say the least. I have only seen one man that even remind me of him. I think there is a reason for that! I feel him with me and even hear his voice at times. I know he is watching over me and the kids.
This year has been extremely hard. With my daughter about to give birth to my grandson in a matter of weeks and Rodney isn't here, Kashmir is sad about that. And then the untimely passing of a man who was and still is an impact on the city....Derrick Jones aka Yo Slick aka OOH......its just been even more emotional especially since he and Rodney were the same at when they passed!
So please I beg you all that if you love someone let them know! Tell them every day that you have with them!!! You never know how long you have with them!!

A Sad Day In Baltimore........
I can't tell you when we were introduced.....I really don't think there was I hi my name is Lisa or a hi my name is OOH. I can however tell you the first time I seen him.
I had gone to a cd release party at the 13th Floor at the Belvedere. I had just started showing my face on the music scene and barely knew anyone. So this group got on stage and started performing. I was taking pictures....like always because I didn't know people and I wanted to remember the shows. The guy on the mic said something about being from Poplar Grove! Oh ok....that's where I live! Then he raised his shirt and I took pictures of his stomach. Never knew who he or the group was but I really didn't know but a handful of people at that time.
In February, I had my event and The Love Peace Project wanted to be apart of it and I said sure. Love having something different at the event! Changa then told me that Brown F.I.S.H. was going to be apart of it too! I was so excited! By now I knew who Jahiti and OOH were and held conversations and loved being in their presence. OOH called me and we had a long talk about the event and all the details that he wasn't sure about. So we made a deal that he would host and I was so excited!!! The show went till after 2am. LOL Larry was trying to tell me to wrap it up. Solomon was more understanding. And OOH was his usual smiling and awesome self!
Last night I knew that something had happened to OOH but was hoping that it was nothing serious and we would be seeing him posting about his Save A Dope Boy campaign or something about saving our youth but instead I got a phone call a little after 9pm that had me stunned, my heart hurting, my mind went blank, and tears were streaming.
OOH.....Derrick Jones......Yo Slick.....was gone.
My first thoughts were of his wife, child and family. I know that feeling. I have been through it. No words can comfort. No words can make you feeling any better! But I know that with time those words mean a whole lot to them.
This man....this one man was trying to make a difference in the city. He had an idea and a plan and he made it happen. He was supported by so many that he supported.
June 3, 2014 we lost a man who not only was a husband, a father, a son, a brother, a uncle....we lost a phenomenal artist, innovator, advocate, legend and most of all a hero.

Puzzle Pieces
She wanted him so bad. She had missed him so much over the years. But she wasn't about to get her feelings mixed up again. She couldn't let herself feel so much for him and he wasn't able to do the same for her. It wasn't that he wouldn't.....he just couldn't. Life can be so complicated. But here he was holding her, kissing her, telling her how he felt and all she could do was smile and not say anything. She was too afraid to say anything because what if he really didn't mean it. What if it was just the alcohol talking. What if he was going to regret it the next day.
All she did know was that looking at him smile made her melt. Feeling his lips on hers felt like fire was consuming her. The touch of his hands sent chills throughout her body. She had missed him more than even she had realized. The words I love you came from his mouth and as much as she wanted to say them back, her head was screaming no! She did love him. She had loved him. No matter what happened in the past few years, she couldn't stay mad or upset with him. She loved his spirit, his soul....she loved him.
Laying in his arms it felt like this is where she was suppose to be. Like 2 pieces of a puzzle that fit perfectly in a puzzle that they didn't belong to. Her head laid on his shoulder, listening to him breathe as he dozed off. She stared at his face thinking that it was a dream and not wanting to wake up if it was one. She laid there thinking this was so wonderful. And then reality started setting in. In a few hours, he would be gone. On his way back home. She would once again wonder when she would see him again. Wondering when he would call. Wondering when she would feel his touch. And this is why she couldn't let herself fall for him again.

Liezel's Life
The realization of a relationship being over doesn't come all at once. It takes time to sink in and be able to understand that the person you put your trust, love and heart into is no longer in your life. When the relationship first ends, there are a lot of why’s and how come’s. There is crying and pain and the feeling of never being in love again. There is the hating of the person and wanting them to be hurt but then again you don’t. A break up is full of emotions like a roller coaster ride.
She was in the stage that she has cried, screamed, yelled and never wanting to be in another relationship again. She had asked all the questions of herself and came up with no logical answers. Now she was going to move on to the next chapter of her life. In order to do that, she needed to get out of this depression she was in and get out with her friends.
This is what Liezel needed. Just to walk around in the sunshine and breathe in the air and trying to get her mind clear of all the nonsense that has occurred in the past few weeks. How is it that in a matter of weeks she has gone from being happy and engaged to unhappy and calling off a wedding? That is a lot to take in all at once. But what is done is done and there is no going back. Rainer’s constant calls and persistent voicemails were irritating enough and then came the apology notes and flowers and plants. Those things she gave to the secretaries and other personnel in the office. She just wasn't’t ready to discuss the situation with him and still wasn't trying to hear anything he had to say. She had seen it for herself and there was nothing more to be told. What was he going to say, I’m sorry I lied to you; I’m sorry I cheated on you with my ex-girlfriend? She just isn’t ready for the apology part of the closure just yet.
It was such a beautiful day and she was smiling for the first time in a long time. Maybe the hurt was dissipating quicker than she had anticipated. Liezel had been cooped up in the house since the night she had seen for her own eyes that Rainer had lied to her and was on a date with his ex-girlfriend Kenya. That was the night her life did a complete and total flip. Since that night, she had been on a leave from the firm and had basically kept everyone at arm’s length until she just couldn’t take being in the house anymore. Today she decided to take a walk along the water and enjoy the day and make herself get out into the world. She even called her best friend Nya to join her for lunch. It was time to move along with life.
As she was watching a group of children feeding the seagulls, her phone rang. Thinking that it was Rainer was again, she looked at the screen to see who it was. No this time it was Nya so she answered it.
“Ok, where are you?” asked the voice on the other end.
“I am right here by Phillip’s waiting for you.” Liezel said as she still was watching the children feeding the seagulls.
“Oh ok I see you now! Here I come across the street.” Nya said and then hung the phone up.
Nya walked up to Liezel and gave her one of those I’m so sorry hugs. It was so long and tight that you would have thought Nya was saying her final goodbyes. As they walked to the restaurant, the questions started coming from Nya. The where have you been, are you ok, do we have to go beat someone up questions.
Liezel started laughing at her friend’s obvious protectiveness. “No we don’t have to get all ghetto on anybody. I’m fine. I really am. I just needed to think about things and then work through them on my own without all the distractions of my friends wanting to try to make me feel better.”
“I’m just saying girl, we can go and get hood with her and his two timing self.” Nya was always the one who no matter what her education no matter how many degrees were on her office wall; she was the one who would revert back to her hood mentality.
Liezel started laughing. As they sat down, Nya wanted to know all the details. She hadn’t talked to Liezel since all of this started. She got an email letting her know that she was ok but that was all. So she wanted to know all the juicy details. Liezel started off the tale on the night the whole situation happened.
Liezel told Nya that it was the night that she had cancelled on their plans to go an album release party that one of Nya’s clients had told her about. Liezel cancelled because of a problem at the firm with the ad that was to be released the next day and of course Liezel was the only one to fix it. Well to fix it properly and on time. As she was working she decided to call Rainer and see if he wanted to bring her a late dinner and they could at least spend a minute or two together over dinner at the office.
“So I called him and asked him if he wanted to share a late dinner with me at the office and he was like I would love to sweetie but I have a late meeting with a client. So I said ok, and told him to call me later. That was nothing unusual about him having late meetings. I mean I have gone with him on a few occasions.” Liezel said this while looking at the menu trying not to notice that Nya was so engaged by the story she hadn’t even looked at the menu.
“Well at around 10 I started to get hungry so I called that little restaurant a few blocks from the ad agency, you know the one we go to sometimes for lunch. Oh what is the name of that place? It’s right on the tip of my tongue.” Liezel had eaten there numerous times and called in and now she couldn’t even think of the restaurant’s name.
Nya spoke so loudly it startled Liezel. “Ohhhhhh Chez La Rue.” Liezel started laughing at how excited Nya was about this tale. “Come on Liezel you are dragging this out on purpose.”
“Girl, get a grip.” Liezel said trying not to laugh so loud at her friend. “You will get all the details.” So Liezel continued with the story. “So I was going to ask Charles or Jamal, you know the security guards, if one of them wouldn’t mind going and getting the order but I needed a little break. I was giving myself a headache. So I decided to walk to the restaurant and get my order. As I came up the street, I seen Rainer’s car. Maybe his meeting was here or maybe he was getting dinner to surprise me.”
At this time, the waiter walked over and asked if we were ready to order. Nya acted as if she was annoyed. So Liezel ordered her food and Nya just told the waiter yeah make it two. She wanted to get back to the story.
Liezel laughed at her friend and continued her tale. “So I’m all happy to see him and then I see him grab the hand of the woman he was walking with and kiss it. I almost fell over myself. I could not believe that he had just done that and then I see whose hand he was kissing.” Liezel took a sip of her wine.
“Who?” Nya almost screamed she was so loud.
Liezel almost spit her wine out from laughing at her friend. “Ok, Nya, damn calm down.” She was on the edge of her chair now. “It was Kenya.”
“Are you serious? No you are just bullshiting me now.” Nya said. The ghettoness was coming out of her even more.
“Nah I’m serious! It was Kenya.” Liezel said as she grabbed a roll from the basket.
“Oh my God. He has got to be fucking crazy. Did you whip her ass? Did you whip his ass?” Now Nya was in her ready to kick ass and think about things later mode. That used to get them in trouble when they are younger and out at the club.
Liezel started laughing, almost choking on the roll she had taken a bite of. “No Nya, I didn't do that. Am I sitting in jail right now?” Liezel started laughing. “No I walked up to them as they were standing in line to go into Tio Pepe’s and took my engagement ring off and handed it to him. The look on their faces was priceless. I wish I had a camera to record it all but all I did was hand him the ring and said, Goodbye. I heard him calling my name as I walked back up the street but what could he have said Nya? There was nothing to be said.” Liezel was looking around the restaurant trying not to look Nya in the eyes because she knew that she would start to cry.
“Oh the hell with that bullshit.” Nya was hyped up now. “Oh hell no. All you said was goodbye? I would have been cussing his ass out and beating the hell out of someone. Girl now I see why you didn’t call me that night. I would have been in the restaurant making a big ass scene.”
Liezel let out a big laugh. Covering her mouth as all the people turned to see what was going on. “Nya, you would be in jail. You would have caused such a scene; the police would still be trying to calm you down. That is the exact reason I didn't call you.”
About that time, something caught Liezel’s eye. As she turned to see what it was, she seen it was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. She tried to look away but she just couldn't. As he walked passed, he and Liezel caught each other’s eye. He gave her a little smile and Liezel blushed, smiled and turned away.
“What was that?” Nya said grinning like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.
“What was what?” Liezel was trying not to smile or admit that she was caught.
“I seen that little smile and girl you are as red as fire. You know you are white as hell and I can see you blushing.” Nya was smiling even harder.

I heard him calling my name as I walked back up the street but what could he have said Nya? There was nothing to be said.” Liezel was looking around the restaurant trying not to look Nya in the eyes because she knew that she would start to cry.
“Oh the hell with that bullshit.” Nya was hyped up now. “Oh hell no. All you said was goodbye? I would have been cussing his ass out and beating the hell out of someone. Girl now I see why you didn’t call me that night. I would have been in the restaurant making a big ass scene.”
Liezel let out a big laugh. Covering her mouth as all the people turned to see what was going on. “Nya, you would be in jail. You would have caused such a scene; the police would still be trying to calm you down. That is the exact reason I didn't call you.”
About that time, something caught Liezel’s eye. As she turned to see what it was, she seen it was the most beautiful man she had ever seen. She tried to look away but she just couldn't. As he walked passed, he and Liezel caught each other’s eye. He gave her a little smile and Liezel blushed, smiled and turned away.
“What was that?” Nya said grinning like the Cheshire cat in Alice in Wonderland.
“What was what?” Liezel was trying not to smile or admit that she was caught.
“I seen that little smile and girl you are as red as fire. You know you are white as hell and I can see you blushing.” Nya was smiling even harder.

New Year Post - KAE FIELDS
The first blog of 2014....I have been slacking on writing the blog because I guess I felt like no one was reading them. Then I was like I will make a video blog but no one watches those unless you are outing someone out.
But I wanted to write my first blog and didn't want to write about last year....I did that mess in the video I posted! So I was sitting here posting up music videos from some good people. Ones that always show me love and support and then I watched Pit Fights battle between Murda and Rolla even though I was there taking pictures!! LOL I always miss things because I'm trying to get the shots! 1,333 to be exact that night! LOL
Anyway, so I remembered that I got Kae Field's cd last night! Now I have heard a lot of his songs because he is one of the artists that I really like and support. I mean really support. The kind of support that he is doing a show and I don't like anyone else on the show but I go anyway! LOL Also he has done videos for a good amount of his songs.
So I pop it in my laptop...I don't have a cd player much less a radio in my house. The cd has 13 tracks with 3 of those being Kae Fields speaking so there are 10 tracks.
What I love about this cd is it is one of those cds that it has a mixture of songs. It has tracks like Suge Knight ft TK Black.......
And then has tracks like True Love ft Qui Qui Martin....
You can check out his other videos on his YouTube page http://www.youtube.com/user/KFieldsTV as well as hit him on FB Kae Fields
This cd will be a companion for my cd player in my car most definitely!! What a great way to bring in the new year!!!
