Highly recommend every hip hop fan to dedicate some time to Ernie Paniccioli’s photo archive, which he unearthed earlier this week. 21,000 never-before-seen pictures of your favorite artists’ favorite artists. Read more below:

These and nearly 20,000 similar images can now be viewed online as Cornell University Library launches the Ernie Paniccioli Photo Archive, a digital collection chronicling hip-hop music and culture from the 1980s to the early 2000s.

The collection features digitized photographic slides selected from Paniccioli’s larger archive of more than 100,000 images and artifacts housed in the Cornell Hip Hop Collection.

People will start to shoot over the slightest thing, and they think that’s tough. That’s not tough, that’s stupid. To show your emotions, to tell someone you love them, that takes strength. Not killing someone with a gun.
