Ernie Paniccioli-Legendary Hip Hop Photographer and Author of "Who Shot Ya?"

About Me

Chuck D, Afrika Bambaataa, KRS1 all said I am probably the world's only Hip Hop Photographer because I've shot and represented all 5 Elements (Dance, Graffiti, DJing, MC's, Street Knowledge and Culture) of Hip Hop for over 30 years. I've shot nearly every person, part and place involved in Hip Hop. I love shooting Graffiti all over the world. Have shot it from Brooklyn to the Bronx to Brazil and Belgium and that is just the letter B. I've lectured around the country, coast to coast and have tried to share my analysis of the colonization both of Hip Hop and all modern culture. I've lectured against the massive invasion of privacy, domestic spying and current (Iraq, Afganistan) wars and potential wars (Iran, Korea). I've tried to make young people aware of the draft and those politicians who want to reinstate it.
