1. Harlem 1998 The Greatest Day In Hip-Hop History Cover
This was a tribute to a 1958 picture based on Harlem too but on Jazz musicians with 57 Jazz Musicians but on this image we see the prolific spitters of the age from Wu-Tang, The Roots, De La Soul, ATCQ, and many more.

2. 2pac at Quad Studios
At 1994, Tupac Shakur would be shot outside of Quad Studios. This event will built up one of the biggest feuds in Hip Hop history between the West and East Coast fighting each other. This image is one of the hardest Pac image to exist.

3. The Soulquarians
This image right here would be one of the living proof of one of the most smoothest, unique and soul bending collectives of Hip Hop and RnB. Sadly this image took a spiral downfall due to a misconception by a magazine making the collective separate.

5. 2 Lives Crew arrested
What you're looking at right now is a picture of 2 Lives Crew's Luther Campbell being arrested for raunchy acts by police officers. This will became an iconic scene for Hip Hop, a fight for Freedom of Speech.

9. Last 2pac picture
Before his death, his last remaining picture of him was in a car alongside Sure Knight. This image will be one of the most haunting picture of Tupac right before he was shot to death at 1996.

10. Jay Z and Nas at Powerhouse
Both Jay Z and Nas had been over a feud for more than years from Takeover to Ether but when will it end? Gladly it did end at 2005 Powerhouse where both icons sweep the beef away and performed together.
