The Doggfather took a bite out of the Big Apple last Thursday night. I pretty much missed the opening acts: Devin The Dude, and Red and Meth. Instead, I focused my flip cam duties on the West Coast King. This time, instead elbowing the kids in the pit, I decided to flaunt VIP style and shoot footage off the big screen projector. A gang of footage after the jump.

In case you kids were lost to what your favorite MC was spittin’ over. Fuck a hater. YN’s an educator.
