Industry Rule # 4083: Segregation
Before hip-hop was a suburban style. Before punk was how you wore your hair. Before skateboards were just a way to piss off your neighbors.
They were forms of personal expression.
Bands such as Minor Threat, Black Flag, RUN-DMC, Bad Brains, Fugazi, Public Enemy, Ice-T, and the Circle Jerks were carving their own musical niche. They shared politics, energy, and message. Some played instruments, some scratched a turntable. Different methods, same ends.
Glenn E. Friedman was there as it all happened. Armed with his camera, he captured the innocence, anger, and charisma of a burgeoning movement, without one ounce of Jane Goodall pretension. Glenn captured a moment in our history, as a form of expression was birthed. Before Sony, Columbia, BMI, and Interscope distilled and packaged it, wholesale, for the masses. Before Sony, Columbia, BMI, and Interscope decided that guitars were White and turntables were Black.
Chuck D wearing a Minor Threat t-shirt? Fits like a glove. Exactly.
