A Great Day in Hip Hop is a black-and-white photograph of over 200 hip hop artists and producers in Harlem, New York, taken by photographer Gordon Parks on September 29, 1998.[1] It was commissioned by XXL magazine, as a homage to Art Kane's A Great Day in Harlem, photographed in 1958.[2]
The photo was featured on the cover of December 1998's special edition of XXL,[3] titled "The Greatest Day in Hip Hop", as the date of photoshoot coincided with the release dates of albums from Jay-Z, A Tribe Called Quest, OutKast, Brand Nubian, and Black Star.[4][5]
