  1. funny that you call them "baby armns" when they came first and are much older cars.
  2. photobucket exceeded.. maybe if the bench WAS your church, this wouldn't happen?
  3. ...And you know, T-Kid likely got it from Tony Manero, the real graffiti icon of 1977. KA knows what I'm sayin!
  4. that place used to be rocked! back when it was still Waldbaum's, Caldor, Pergament, around back towards the entrance to the flea market was covered. there was a piece on the refrigeration unit on top of Waldbaum's (Tine i think), throwies all around the back of that building, a piece facing Rt. 1, even a piece on one of the United Hospital rooftops. I remember Dmand throwies, even Tracy 168 stuff, when he did a short highway run nearby on 287. if there's still tags out there, i gotta check that out. years before Kohl came in i was pretty sure most of it was clean. AI Friedman by like '94 was done with spray paint, IIRC. But the markers were pretty popular, until they moved the rack up front. There was at least one old-school writer from the Bronx that worked there also.
  5. Are you talking about the huge Met piece at the INC tunnels? I remember that piece, damn nice even after someone wrote over it with a marker (which was another piece of drama). Met was better known for bombing, and it's funny... someone called that a simple, but that was a piece for back then. I vaguely recall Met doing a piece of someone else's name, like a girlfriend? That Caldor is quite storied, esp among TVT. It was a great spot, but so heavily racked you could rarely get good colors there. Lots of Jade Green, Mauve, Rose, that kind of thing but I never saw Hot Pink or Baby Blue there. AI Friedman is still there, but I don't remember it for spray paint at all. They got really sharp and had security. Yeah, there was a lot of drama back then, it took some energy to keep yourself out of it sometimes. In my recollection, much of 914 was bombers and lots of beef (childish, of course). Bone is doing well the last I heard, drop me a PM.
  6. miss seeing those Poets light up Harrison-Larchmont... there's still a few small tags of his on the line
  7. thank god i still come on once in a while to see some sheer, homegrown ignorance such as this. i'm not really sure where to begin... is "hipster" the term for absolutely anything you don't like or do you think just because people wore smaller pants in the past that they're all "hipster-asses"... do you know when Stations Of The Elevated was made.... are you upset that people in the slums in the 1920s weren't listening to dat crunk hip hop you think is "real"... do you know what the most important music that the US invented actually is... do you really think you got something substantial to say against freights... it's nice to see that graffiti still attracts the finest minds from around the globe.
  8. Well put Zed. Also keep into account that the NY system is the second oldest in the country and smaller European cities are often more likely to have younger, newer systems, which they update more often. For instance, the NY Metro North is just now updating their New Haven line railcars, which were very reliable but date from the mid 1970s. In addition, NY subway was three different railroad companies that operated apart in one of the busiest, largest, and most intricate cities in the western hemisphere, which was going through one of its worst economic conditions with a huge population.
  9. That may be, but "Love Is The Message" is a classic disco message track (what?? not hip hop???) that anyone could be referencing. It still got plenty of burn through the 80s.
  10. damn, i remember hearing multiple times that they were gonna finally pull out them old cars, guess they're still in that spot. good benching.
  11. lest we forget, the concept of "hip hop" is a marketing term first and foremost.
  12. yeah, i think that's almost certainly the orig Sope and Felon, from their styles and that it's them together. old as fuck and a great find.
