PIC(S) INFO: Mega spotlight on American hip-hop group, BEASTIE BOYS, walking down Franklin Ave., Los Angeles (Hollywood), CA, from the B. Boys' "Check Your Head" photo-session, c. 1991. 📸: Glen E. Friedman.
OVERVIEW: "We met up by the Capitol Records building and eventually ended up in a beach parking lot in Santa Monica. Same lot you would have parked in if you had a car and were going to Arthur Lake's parents home in ‘76 to skate their pool. Pictures from this day ended up on the cover of "CHECK YOUR HEAD" and on various other merchandise the boys put out.
This is one of my FAVORITES from the day.
Hearing this album in the studio with them for the first time while they were working on the sequencing is what inspired me to ask them to do the photo session. They already had the LP cover done I was told, but that was fine by me, once I faxed them some of these they changed direction and threw a Fax on the cover of the LP. On the cassette and later CD they used the actual photograph. Inspired, conquered. Great day, amazing work. They also met AWOL for the first time this day, since i asked him if he'd mind hauling us around in his van and hang out."

To Pimp a Butterfly is one of the greatest albums I've ever heard so if you're looking for something to listen to from Kendrick Lamar to expand your music tastes a little bit that's the one I reccomend personally. I like Good Kid M.A.A.D City too but To Pimp a Butterfly had that rare thing happen for me where I was like "Damn there are almost no misses on this album" and I'm pretty sure the only other time I've had that happen was Black Sabbath's "Heaven and Hell." Also recommend an artist called Saba, I'd never heard of him before and he's from Chicago (where I'm from) so I was pretty blown away discovering him - been listening to his album "CARE FOR ME" on loop the past couple days and it's fantastic
playing rap/hip-hop for family members who like making fun of your music taste and are that "i hate rap i don't consider it real music" type really spotlights how much they do not know anything about or listen to rap and their "criticisms" for it are a bunch of garbage that they wouldn't say about any other music genre
