Friedman. Immersed in the skate and punk scenes of the 1980s, Friedman’s photographs were a window into a subculture percolating under the surface of Ronald Reagan’s America. Then in 1987, he documented a critical moment in the emergence of hip-hop: the joint tour of Run-DMC and the Beastie Boys. This photo book, published by Rizzoli with a foreword by Chris Rock, shares the moment when hip-hop moved from the inner city to suburbs everywhere, forever changing the style and sound of American culture. (Friedman also wrote the recently rereleased photo book on the crucial straight-edge punk band Fugazi, 'Keep Your Eyes Open,' featuring a new interview with frontman Ian MacKaye.)\" \u003cbr\u003e—LOS ANGELES TIMES","brand":"Rizzoli International Publications","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48866043724119,"sku":"9780847866472","price":30.6,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780847866472.jpg?v=1722276769","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/together-forever-beastie-boys-and-rundmc-9780847866472","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
