“In 1990-1991 Grand Daddy IU released a few songs that got him instantly recognized ” Something New and Sugar Free” which catapulted him into the HipHop spot light. Being co-signed by Biz Markie and being signed to one of the Hottest labels of the 80’s Cold chillin Records run by Tyrone “Fly Ty “Williams. One would think it would make his story more compelling. But all that glitters is not Gold”.

Ernie Paniccioli just released another book flooded with rare Hip Hop flicks that will make you catch a zone…Big up to Ernie for keeping those flames lit after all these years…

“With exclusive, behind-the-scenes access, preeminent photographer Brother Ernie captures the last four decades of the evolution of hip-hop–the styles that grew from it, and the artists who shaped it. Complete with Brother Ernie’s personal anecdotes of time spent with subjects, and stories behind the photographs, Hip-Hop at the End of the World shares intimate moments from the most important era of hip-hop.

After picking up a camera in the 1973 to document the graffiti art that dominated New York City, Ernest Paniccioli started his journey of whole-heartedly capturing the scene during the most fertile years of hip-hop. Always armed with a 35mm camera, he successfully photographed nearly every rapper of note since the genre’s inception, making him the go-to photographer for magazines like Word Up and Rap Masters. Hip Hop at the End of the World is a carefully curated selection of photographs from Brother Ernie’s extensive archives, celebrating over 40 years of swag in one of the most complete records of the most crucial movements in American music”.

At this point HIP HOP BATTLEFIELD is at the ten year mark….It kinda bugs me out when I think about it because in this day and age most people are narcissistic , self centered, robots that are only concerned with their own movements – it is obvious that I am cut from a different cloth and I will continue to not only promote others, but make it my daily duty to seek out inspirational material…

Thanks to everyone that checks in on the regular (I see you)….We ain’t going nowhere troop, we just begun so stay in tune….With ten years of post sometimes quality joints get lost in the sauce, so its only right that I repost this heavy breaks session by DJ FLEG…Catch a groove.
