In Ya Grill by Michael Benabib
Since 1987, when hip-hop was on the verge of changing the world, right up to the present, photographer Michael Benabibs intimate pictures reveal how hip-hop started as a grassroots musical movement and evolved into the most influential image machine in the world. Tupac Shakur, Biggie Smalls, Snoop Dogg, Cypress Hill, Public Enemy, LL Cool. J, Salt 'N Pepa, Queen Latifah, Mary J. Blige, Grandmaster Flash and many others are here in these never-before-seen photos - performing, recording, relaxing and playing at clubs, parties and on the streets. Distinguished writer Bill Adler tells the story in words, exploring the dynamic melding of fashion, consumerism and excess. "In Ya Grill" depicts and defines the music that has changed the American cultural landscape forever.
Michael Benabib shoots for The Source, the New York Times Magazine, and Newsweek, among many others, plus advertising clients including Heineken, Nissan, and Sprite. His album covers are seen on the Uptown, Def Jam, and Bad Boy labels. His hip-hop photographs were the subject of a retrospective at the Eyejammie Gallery in New York in 2005. He lives in New York. Bill Adler is the author of Tougher Than Leather: The Rise of Run-DMC and Rap: Portraits and Lyrics of a Generation of Black Rockers. He wrote and produced And You Don't Stop: 30 Years of Hip-Hop, a five-part documentary series that aired on VH1. He lives in New York City.
