rubbish heap Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 http://www.sohh.com/images/artists/cope_2_100x100.jpg'> The block remains hot and not just for rappers. Legendary graffiti writer, COPE2, was recently nabbed by the NYPD's graffiti specialists, The Vandal Squad. The capture delighted NYPD brass and rightly so -- seeing as COPE2 has long been at the top of The Vandal Squad's Most Wanted list. COPE2, perhaps the most prolific artist of our time, was caught in the midst of a "train-bombing" campaign in the Bronx this past April. According to sources, he was in an unspecified Bronx train yard when halfway through the painting session the police raid ensued. COPE2 surrendered to police and allowed himself to be taken into custody. Authorities are preparing to prosecute to the fullest extent of the law and are even said to have told COPE2 "We're gonna throw the book at you". According to a fellow graffiti writer and longtime friend who asked to remain anonymous, COPE2 had been under surveillance by the graffiti cops for a long time. However, after the release of COPE's new book entitled "True Legend", the surveillance says the source, "definitely went up". True Legend, which comes signed by COPE2, boasts 272 pages of full color flicks and commentary from COPE2. True Legend has been getting rave reviews as the best graffiti book thus far, overshadowing other heavyweights like ESPO's The Art Of Getting Over and even a classic like "Spray Can Art". COPE2 was being held at the Bronx County Tombs but is now out on bail. There's been no word yet as to what he has been officially charged with. source: http://www.sohh.com/thewire/read.php?contentID=5818 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

why write? Posted May 10, 2004 Share Posted May 10, 2004 i guess we are gonna have to reminisce on the cope bombs, this goes to show you..everybody gets caught at one point so dont be a little bitch if you get bagged....this pisses me off though, i hate to see cope go down....update this when you find out what kind of sentance he gets, i wonder what he'll get....whats everyone think?

LaCosaNostra Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Originally posted by CILONE/SK I always wondered why he was never arrested more often. He really isn't that hard to find and there are enough videos of him painting for evidence. I remeber when he was in video graff and was painting some trains, I kept thinking that he was just asking for trouble. At least cover your face or something. yea,for real.....he is going to be locked up for years, but i think everybody, including him saw this coming from miles away.... Why Write- i dont think there will be any follow up, unless somebody doesnt mind getting banned-- not talkinga bout court cases(exception?)

JerryCurl Posted May 11, 2004 Share Posted May 11, 2004 Cope's been in lots of trouble all his life, and he always gets off light. My guess is there's only enough shit to tie Cope to this incident. And he'll probably get off with a large load of community service and a sizeable fine. Jesus, you kids jock him like he's some superhero. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
