In honor of the 50th anniversary of hip hop, Johnson looks back at the making of some of his most iconic photographs.

There was a studio on Broadway and she came over and we had a stylist and a make-up artist and those outfits. I was always into those punk images. If I saw someone on the street in London, I would just lose my mind, there’s something so pure about it. We're all in New York and it's kind of cool for people in middle America and the rest of the world to see as New Yorkers. I'm not super conceptual, but it’s little details like that that make the photos public connect.

I still love Lauryn to this day, she’s one of my favorites and we had such a cool working relationship. She already had her ideas, she had the album title and she wanted to shoot in a school and we looked at a couple of schools, but then we were like why don’t we just shoot in her school. So we went there and we shot in her school. I looked around and I liked the bathroom, because I always liked the girls bathroom, and then went to this classroom, and then we’ll shoot in the hallway.
