WORD Presents: Ernie Paniccioli for Hip Hop at the End of the World

Ernie Paniccioli, hailed by The New York Times as “the chronicler of hip-hop,” and author of the best-selling book Who Shot Ya, has been taking the most important photographs of the hip-hop scene for the last four decades, getting unprecedented access to such headliners as Public Enemy, Grandmaster Flash, Notorious B.I.G, Tupac, Lauryn Hill, and Snoop Dogg.To this day, Paniccioli’s photography remains the iconic chronicle of one of the most crucial movements in American music. In candid moments, Brother Ernie—who was inducted into the Hip-Hop Hall of Fame in 2014—captures the feel, and more importantly, the look of an era that would forever transform fashion and popular culture. His latest book, Hip Hop at the End of the World: The Photography of Ernie Paniccioli, serves both as a career retrospective and a riveting behind-the-scenes view of the evolution of hip-hop, the styles that grew from it, and the artists who shaped it.

After picking up a camera in 1973 to document the graffiti art that dominated New York City, Paniccoli, known respectfully as Brother Ernie, started his journey of wholeheartedly capturing the hip-hop scene during its most fertile years. Always armed with a 35mm camera, he successfully photographed nearly every rapper of note since the genre’s inception. Filled with over 250 color and black-and-white images—many that have never before been published—of legends like Ice Cube, LL Cool J, Naughty by Nature, 50 Cent, Lil’ Kim, Flavor Flav, Queen Latifah, and TLC, this book is set to become the new bible of hip-hop photography. Hip Hop at the End of the World is required reading for fans of music, fashion, popular culture, and photography.
