From an early shot of a pensive Eazy-E to a young (presumably pre-Zen) Rick Rubin pointing a gun, check out the golden-era hip-hop photography of Janette Beckman in our gallery of images from her new book The Breaks: Stylin’ and Profilin’ 1982-1990. There’s striking shots of acts like Run-DMC and 2 Live Crew and group portraits (like the one above of Hurby “Luv Bug” Azor and the Idolmakers Posse, which included Salt-N-Pepa as well as Kid and Play), plus Slick Rick, Queen Latifah, Tone Loc, Busta Rhymes before he hit the weight room and more.
