his vivid snapshot by Drew Carolan is a time capsule from the golden age of hip-hop, featuring the legendary duo Eric B. & Rakim. Shot under the FDR drive, the image is as much about the vibe as it is about the artists, with a tricked-out Benz and Rolls adding to the street cred. The real star of the show, though, is the fashion. Eric B. rocks a gold "dookie rope" chain and medallion, a signature of the era. But the threads? That's all Dapper Dan. The Harlem legend was the tailor to the hip-hop world in the 80s and 90s, remixing high fashion into something entirely new and audaciously original. His custom Gucci jackets, like the one Eric B. wore on the cover of their groundbreaking albums, were unlike anything Gucci had ever made - or seen. This photo isn't just a portrait of two artists. It's a snapshot of a moment when hip-hop was finding its look, its voice, and its swagger, all under the watchful eye of Drew Carolan.
