With its association with bad boy rocker Jim Morrison, the Morrison Hotel Gallery at the Sunset Marquis Hotel is the ideal setting for Parental Advisory: Explicit Images, an exhibition of brilliant photos of hip hop legends.

The Morrison Hotel Gallery partnered with Pledgemusic to provide hip hop connoisseurs access to rare photos of artists such as Jay-Z, Big Boi, Slick Rick and NWA.  Photographer and curator, Timothy White put together the exhibit, including an opening night experience with 80s videos playing on a big screen above the fabled Sunset Marquis pool.

The exhibit runs through September 22.
