Back in the Days
- Used Book in Good Condition
Back in the Days documents the emerging Hip Hop scene from 1980-1989â€”before it became what is todayâ€™s multi-million-dollar multinational industry. Back in the days, gangs would battle not with guns, but by breakdancing. Back in the days, the streetsâ€”not corporate planningâ€”set the standards for style. Back in the days, Jamel Shabazz was on the scene, photographing everyday people hanginâ€™ in Harlem, kickinâ€™ it in Queens, and cold chillinâ€™ in Brooklyn.

Street styling with an attitude not seen in fashion for another twenty years to come, Shabazzâ€™s subjects strike poses that put supermodels to shameâ€”showing off Kangol caps and Gazelle glasses, shell-top Adidas and suede Pumas with fat laces, shearling coats and leather jackets, gold rope chains, door-knocker earrings, name belts, boom boxes, and other designer finery. For anyone who wants to know what â€œkeepinâ€™ it realâ€ means, Back in the Days is the book of your dreams.
