Vintage Photos From The 1980s Glory Days Of The Boombox

In his The Boombox Project: The Machines, the Music, and the Urban Underground, Canadian photographer and author Lyle Owerko calls the once-ubiquitous boombox a "sonic campfire" and "the eighties equivalent of Spotify -- a conduit through which music was shared."

It's hard to imagine any contemporary, Spotify-equipped device as analogous to a campfire, sonic or otherwise. But the Spotify comparison does speak to the boombox's small-scale social media-like power, decades before the term "social media" was even coined.

In one interview, Owerko opined that the boombox was "a metaphor for free speech ... a metaphor for empowerment." Boomboxes were also "borderless," he said; despite the connection to hip-hop luminaries such as LL Cool J, who proudly displayed his JVC RC-M90 on the cover of Radio, rock and punk acts also embraced boomboxes as emancipatory tools, for reasons both low- and highbrow.

"You were no longer trapped to an AC outlet," Don Letts of iconic 1980s post-punk act Big Audio Dynamite told The New York Times in 2010. "You could take it to the streets, and wherever you took it, you had an instant party."

The boombox also transcended musical genre and politics to become both a pop culture icon and an affordable way to get high-quality music wherever you wanted it; as Owerko notes: "You know, it extended around the globe ... it was wherever people wanted to listen to music, whether it was a beach cafe, in a mechanic's shop, in an artist's studio."

But boomboxes also served as status symbols. "Back in the day they were also a form of conspicuous consumption: some cost $700 or more," notes journalist Ben Sisario. "I remember some boxes so big, they required 20 D-size batteries to an already heavy box," Fred Brathwaite, a.k.a. artist and musician Fab 5 Freddy, told NPR in 2009. "So these boxes were so heavy that some cats that would carry their boxes all the time, they would develop massive forearms and biceps."

But with the advent of Sony's portable and stylish Walkman, the beastly box's days were soon numbered. The Consumer Electronics Association says that only 329,000 proper vintage boombox models (i.e., without CD players) were shipped in the U.S. in 2003. In 1985, that number had approached 25 million.

The gallery of vintage boombox photos above showcases these machines in urban environments across the globe, in their heyday and in their waning years, right before portability and personal soundscapes beat out the communal, "sonic campfire" experience of the bold and beautiful boombox.

Pour Up. DRANK. The underlining

"I'm doing things that i'll know I regret. I think this liquor helping me with my stress - Albee Al" "I've really been drinkin'. Muthafucka, I really been smokin', what the fuck? I'm the sober one. Man, I'm so stressed out, I can't focus - Kendrick Lamar"

Let's talk about.... You guessed it. Substance Abuse. As an avid hip-hop head we try to listen to everything here at theboombox. What's becoming apparent is that the hip-hop community is really heavily involved in indulging drugs. Whether or not we're doing it for partying and turning up or stress relief we're doing it. So let's explore this why don't we.

The stark reality of the "streets".

What's stressing our rappers?

So let's go back in the days when they were young and they're not kids anymore. Maybe we'll find some root issues. As much as some of these songs are club bangers, we're missing out on some of these messages we're just partying to. So what are actually listening to? "Confused I just closed my young eyes and squeezed" , "I had to see my mom in tears when pop went to the store. For them Newports that he must ain't find in years" , "Used to think that I was hard, so I stole my brothers Glock And that's the day my life changed cause that night he got shot". Guilt, Shame, Lost Love, and hard upbringings can traumatize. This is some of the saddest things we hear and bob our head to. The hip-hop community has an issue on it's hands. Turning our trauma to triumph without understanding we're traumatized. Is this what leads some of our favorites to pop those perkys? Whether we can pinpoint these issues to trauma and stressor related, sexual, dissociative, or even depressive disorders one thing is for sure, we can pinpoint it and our favorites may even fit the bill for some of these disorders.

This is some of the saddest things you hear and bob your head to. The ACE (Adverse Childhood Experience) questionnaire is a tool used by social scientist to identify types of abuse, neglect, and other hallmarks of a rough childhood. How many rap songs will score high? Let's just say that our rappers may not be coping in the best ways. Which may not be surprising due to that ACEs are labeled as a contributing factor of an early onset of substance abuse. When you're stressed out what do you turn to?

So what do we do? Do we support these rappers? How do we help? Can we?

"I learned you get famous before you get rich" - Joe Budden.

All of these things can haunt our favorite artist and these are just things in the past. But let's say that nothing in their past was an issue whether it is known or unbeknownst to these rappers.

What's going down in the present?

How much pressure is it to be the rich one? Now that's a whole another can of worms we'll open another blog.
