Conzo@CornellU HHC

This past week I spent the day digging in my archives @cornellhiphopcollection and how awesome it was! I haven’t physically touched/Held my negatives since depositing them at Cornell over a decade ago. Persevered for years to come and available for research it was the best decision I ever made! Why was I up there? Big show coming up and there is no better print than a Silver Gelatin print Old School!! Thank you @cornellhiphopcollection for taking care of my babies!! #cornellhiphopcollection #WorldsLargest #Earliest #Archives #HipHopEmphemora #BornInTheBronx!

**Long Story True Story**
Years ago I was assigned to sit at Yankee Stadium while The Yankees played their farm team. About a dozen or so fans waited outside for autographs. Not one Yankee signed an autograph and I was really pissed watching these kids rejected by their heroes. I was told that certain players won’t sign autographs because fans profit from their signatures! Fast forward to 2 weeks ago at The WildStyle 40 anniversary I was approached by some “Fans” to sign some of my most icon photos they had downloaded from the internet of The Cold Crush Brothers. No problem honored to autograph my photos and The Cold Crush Brothers also signed. The Ink hasn’t even dried yet and the photos are on EBay for almost $1000!!! WTF! Should I be upset or honored? Feeling a lil perplexed right now…. #JoeConzoArchives #Autographs #Ebay #Perplexed #ScatchingMyHead.
