On January 26, the Official tamaravsthevoid chase the horizon wild and free motorcycle club take road less travelled new shirt moreover I love this exhibition “Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious” opens at Fotografiska on Park Avenue, a 45-minute subway ride south of the Campbells’ former home. The 200 images on display, which span two floors, trace hip-hop’s bewildering evolution from neighborhood jam sessions into a multi-billion dollar industry—and chart the role that photography has played in the genre’s world domination. “Photographers were the midwives, so to speak, who helped both those in the culture and those outside of it understand its value,” says Sacha Jenkins, a co-curator of the exhibition with Sally Berman. The show comprises landmark documentary photography from the Bronx in the 1970s and 1980s, including era-defining highlights like Jamel Shabazz’s Flying High (1982), depicting a young boy doing gymnastics on a pile of discarded mattresses. (In 2011, the image served as album art for The Roots’ Undun.) Portraits of the genre’s superstars—Biggie, Tupac, Public Enemy, De La Soul—are balanced by photographs of people whose names we don’t know, acknowledging the communal quality of the “four elements” of hip-hop: MCing, DJing, b-boying, and graffiti-writing.

Others like her include Sylvia Robinson, who produced two of the most pivotal singles in the history of hip-hop—“Rapper’s Delight” by the Sugarhill Gang and “The Message” by Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Five—and MC Sha-Rock, the front woman of Funky 4 + 1, which became the first hip-hop group ever to perform on national television when they played Saturday Night Live with Blondie in 1981. The careful curation of “Hip-Hop: Conscious, Unconscious” seeks to combat this pattern erasure, and emphasize the influence of femininity on hip-hop culture at large.
