Fuck You Too: The Extras & More Photographs by Glen E. Friedman

Summary: PRAISE FOR GLEN E. FRIEDMAN
Review: "It's odd how many of the photographs are familiar. Five minutes with the book and I'm counting the number of shots that were on my bedroom wall growing up." -NEW YORK PRESS

"Many of these pictures are recognized as the subjects' definitive portraits, and it's a revelation to find they were all created by one man... Friedman is in awe of the loudest loud young mouths of the last fifteen years. He respects their impact immensely and he's committed to passing inspiration around." -WARP MAGAZINE

"Fuck You Heroes & Fuck You Too have all star casts that'll make any coffee table look dope." -SLAP MAGAZINE

"If Glen E. Friedman's pictures of seminal punk rockers, daredevil skateboarders and ground- breaking Def Jam artists were set to a soundtrack, it would have to be "Rebel Without A Pause". They, like the photographer, are energetic, gritty and awash with old school cool... If you're into grunge, hip-hop, or skateboarding now, this is the photo album of your roots." -SOURCE MAGAZINE

"The lineup of defiant faces and quotations he's assembled is a challenge to all up-and-comers." -REQUEST MAGAZINE

"This book is an important social document... 'People need to see these pictures; they need to be reminded of what they were like when they were young.' And that according to Friedman is the point: 'Who needs to grow up? All you do is lose your integrity, lost your ideals, lose your drive.'" -VIBE MAGAZINE

"Honesty, unfettered by dogma and convention, can only survive outside of limitations, Fuck You Heroes and Fuck You Too are pictorial documentation of that wide open world... Seeing these edgy, exciting images in one package is an unforgettable experience... FYH & FYT are not for those who think punk, rap or skating is a fashion statement. It's only for those who had no choice but to grow up different, real and true." -RIP MAGAZINE

"Up close and intense... It gets to the nut, then cracks it." -SPIN MAGAZINE

"In Friedman's images--bird-flipping skaters, snarling punks and posing-hard rappers alike-- the overarching message appears to be more than, simply, fuck you. It is instead fuck you with a subtext: I reject you outright. Reject you and all of your stupid, petty beliefs and limitations; I am against you and that for which you stand, so high and mighty. In the shorthand for , the sub-language of the moving body: the finger. I don't need to talk to you. Fuck you. Think for yourself." -NEW YORK PRESS

"For nearly two decades, Glen E. Friedman's noted photo work has served as a historical log on the seminal suburban/urban subculture. From his earliest days as a 13-year old skateboarder photographing top mid-to-late 70's skate icons like Jay Adams and Tony Alva, to his documentation of the burgeoning early-80's hard-core punk scene (captured in the '82 cult soft cover classic My Rules), to his high profile work as a renowned hip-hop photographer (most notably, the legendary album jackets for Ice T's Power and Public Enemy's Yo, Bum Rush The Show), Friedman has kept his finger on the pulse--not for fame and fortune but as a vital lifeline." -PAPER MAGAZINE

"Revealing, naturalistic and deserving of attention... Friedman's approach, his dedication and the quality of his photography should all be applauded." -BLUR MAGAZINE

"In twenty years these collections will be considered time capsules, an encyclopedia from an important decade and a half of modern mayhem and change in popular culture. What makes FYH & FYT fly is the intensity and honesty that looks you in the eye from Friedman's 1/250th second perspective." -JUXTAPOZ MAGAZINE

"Friedman has trained his lens on groups like Minor Threat, Black Flag, Fugazi, the Beastie Boys and other punk pioneers with the same skills with which he's frozen hip-hop pilgrims like L.L. Cool J and Chuck D. in honest, intimate moments of power and integrity. Friedman's camera seems to have been part of the action, so when Friedman's there, you're there. And Friedman has literally been there throughout his career. -LA VILLAGE VIEW
