If a picture is worth a 1000 words then Jamel Shabazz packs 10,000 words in over 100 pictures that expose NYC’s distinct street styles. Back In The Days captures the five NYC boroughs from 1980 – 1989 and it is the first of a series of two photography books by Shabazz, who is to hip-hop photography what Jeff Chang is to hip-hop journalism.
Lee jeans, Puma Clydes, Lacoste polos and Cazal glasses provide the 1980’s aesthetic that Shabazz carefully documents by adjusting F-stops and shutter speeds before the Fuji 400-ISO film seizes the dawn of hip-hop culture. The introduction by Fab 5 Freddy delicately explains Shabazz’s contribution to hip-hop and how the ambition to be cool not only shapes hip-hop culture, but also mitigates the inequities of poverty.
Back In The Days is a refreshing dose of visual imagery that boasts cultural transparency by using neighbourhood people, stories and places.

Only a few of these Nike kicks exist in the whole world. Red and pink are symbolic of luck, success and good fortune in the Chinese new year, and that was probably passed on to Clot and Kanye during their Hong Kong performance, not that they needed it. Kung Hey Fat Choi! And a Xin Yin Kwai Le to all our Mandarin readers !
