This title in other editionsBack in the Daysby Jamel Shabazz
Synopses & ReviewsPublisher Comments:Back in the Days documents the emerging hip-hop scene from 1980-1989 — before it became what is today's billion-dollar international industry. Back in the days, the streets — not the media — set the standards for style and Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, photographing everyday people. Working the streets of New York like the runways of Paris, Shabazz's subjects strike poses that flaunt their Kangol caps & Gazelle glasses, shell-top Adidas and suede Pumas complete with fat laces, shearling coats and leather jackets, gold rope chains, door-knocker earrings, name belts, boomboxes, and other assorted designer finery. For anyone who wants to know what "keepin' it real" means, Back in the Days is the book of your dreams. Review:"Shabazz here shows his subjects striking a pose and staring straight into the camera. The resulting images become less documentary and more yearbook-like in style. At first viewing, the clothes and posturing seem almost ridiculous, until we remember the excesses of the 1980s....An important examination of urban and youth culture through colorful photographs..."
