label: Description
content: The three men are pictured standing on grass or straw, looking directly at the camera. Willie D stands on the left, wearing a dark-colored button down shirt, open to show a white Prince t-shirt, and jeans. Bill is in the center, wearing a black hat, black t-shirt with [HIP-HOP IS DEAD] printed in white, over a white-tshirt, jeans and black shoes. He wears sunglasses with a lens only over his proper right eye. Scarface stands on the right, turned so his body faces Willie and Bill, but his face is turned to the camera. He wears a backwards black baseball cap, a white t-shirt, jeans, and dark-colored shoes. The background behind them is entirely in shadow. On the verso is a handwritten inscription by Bill Adler with the subject, location, date and photographer's name.
