Recorded from The Trops Gallery down in the Lower East Side, T. Eric Monroe and Amon vibe out on beautiful sunny day in New York City.

In this episode they talk about Capturing a Moment vs Influencing a Moment, The Immortalization of Ol’ Dirty Bastard, Being a Spectator to the Smallest Details, Giving Back in an Impactful Way, Owning All of Your Intellectual Property and Letting Go.

Eric also shares a ton of great stories of when he used to capture Nas, Biggie, Tupac, RZA, ODB and other entertainers of the 90s era.

“Along the journey reviving this body of work, I have been humbled by the energetic response to these images. Beyond the iconography of artistry, the genuine feelings inspired by these visual moments reinforces the cultural relevance of 90’s Hiphop and its influence on today’s world.”

About T. Eric Monroe

Official Website | Instagram | Purchase Books

During the 80’s, Monroe skated and dabbled in photography, and by the early 90’s, he got serious and found a way to make a living using photography. Some of Monroe’s images have been shared in publications like Thrasher Magazine, The Source, XXL, Transworld Skateboarding Magazine, along with international publications. He has licensed content for documentaries and television – all at a time prior to digital photography and the convenience and ease of the internet.

Because of the chaos of the time – during the 90’s – photographs that were not chosen by magazines or record labels went into the archive and sat for years. Recently, Monroe got the thought: “Enough is enough, time to share the images and moments with the world!”

“As I began indexing and presenting my 90’s photography within the modern landscape, I realized I was sitting on something important. People connect deeply with the imagery of Hiphop’s cultural icons. I knew it was my responsibility to properly preserve and promote the work, a legacy of this revolutionary time in music history.”
