CoffinCheatr Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 Don't sweat it. Taxer, You and I both know this is something of which you need not worry. In fact, I spotted you over the weekend. Your numbers are impressive. ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrustEvil Posted April 22, 2002 Share Posted April 22, 2002 if you're seriously worrying about graffiti numbers, then you have some head issues to deal with...mostly the fact that you don't have anything better to do with your time.....being a fr8 king has a lot less to do with numbers than it does with style, dedication and longevity.

Guest MONSTERKIDZ Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 well if they arent around in 10 years then they arent kings.... that word is used too loosely these days id say there is only about 10 dudes out there that can say they are king......but u guys give credit to anyone on the internet so it wouldnt surprise me if u people think there are 100's of freight kings.... morons Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taxer Posted April 26, 2002 Author Share Posted April 26, 2002 everyone that doesnt Know me talks mad shit cause im a fuckin internet toy who cant type good enough? I have head issues? nothing to do with my time? just cause i dont have 800 posts doesnt mean i cant ask a simple question. none of you even tried to answer it for me. So I want be a freight king when I grow up, sorry. "is this post really necessary?".........this whole fucking web page and the rest of the fucking internet isnt necessary. I asked for stats. so give me some. ...damn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sectorTVA Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 ive heard rumors in the 500's....but thats the whole thing...unless you meet someone like mber in person, its really hard to gauge how many freights someone like him puts out a year...he, himself, probably doesnt even know how many he puts up in a year...on GTV8 sien5 says he tries to do at least 50 a year....which isnt really that much. i think the main thing is just do as many as you can a year for about 3 or 4 years or maybe even 5 or 6 years....thats what i plan to do at least....

Fox Mulder Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 along with what sector said... the thing about sien5 is that he is probably in his 30's and has been doing freights consistantly for 10+ years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TrustEvil Posted April 26, 2002 Share Posted April 26, 2002 this topic is very stupid and i am somewhat ashamed of myself for participating in it, but whatever. Simply put, quantity does not make you a king. As was mentioned, people like sien5 as well as many other "fr8 kings" do not have nearly as many numbers as newjacks like onorok or worms...these guys have serious quantity going on, but they are still young bucks in the game. The real kings have been at it consistently for many many years and the vast majority of you internet ballhuggers would be surprised to know that their entire careers contain far fewer trains than all the new kids who make it their life mission to rock 500 a year...shit, some of the kings barely have hit the 500 mark of burners, but that doesn't take away from the fact that they put in work, they have style and they have more dedication than most (aside from the fact that they were rocking steel while you were still in litte league). That's what makes them kings, not adhering to some stupid numbers game that everyone seems to think is so damn important. Shit, you can do 2 fucking fr8s a year and still be famous because of this whole internet shit. It boggles my mind how wrapped up everyone is in this...

Guest SPFlatty Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 i used to think a number meant you were a king, until i saw what folks were countin as freights. if i spent as much time doing 5 trains a night then puttin in a shit load of time on one masterpiece, i'd have a thousand + freights. my point is that a king's number isn't important. this whole freight trend thing has been destroying the lines by kids using a street mentality on the frieghts. "hey, let's go bomb freights!" what the fuck is this? they're not to be bombed! freights are rolling canvas' not freeway overpasses or billboards. they should be treated with respect. but, only someone who has been around as long as the current day kings would understand this respect. those writers who pretend to be freight gangsters and fuck up the lines are just toys trying to bully artists and are hurting graff as we love it. the other day i saw a poem/zen/king 157 end to end with throw ups over it. the writers that bombed over it were pretty "up" writers that i have now lost total respect for. i'm going to paint trains forever, but its frustrating to have "toys", cause that's what they are, ruining the legacy started by crews like bfk, rtm, and whoever began puttin it down. i just can't wait till these guys fall off or go down, cause they will.

taxer Posted April 27, 2002 Author Share Posted April 27, 2002 by the way thank you coffin cheater, and thank you sector for throwing out numbers. and its not a stupid topic and thats why you did participate. im not stupid i understand the quality over the quantity thing, its just commen sense. my question was about names and numbers, maybe i didnt make that clear. tell me who you think frate kings are and some numbers. some cats are known for e2e's, some kids are known for strate letters with crazy fill designs, and some kids are known for inernet and magazines. i wanted to discuss freight kings. real ones.

Guest krowteN Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 rolling canvas..what a joke. i call that fairy flying. freights are to be bombed..and burned, there just not to be counted...KING- High AMF is a king, Cvas BFK is a king because they been going at it for 10+ years and they have 2002 freights running. and if numbers is your requsite High had over 1000 freights before 1997. Its good younger kids are bout it bout it, doing a gang of trains and all but in my book a KING rocks non stop. not for a couple of years and gets burned out cause he did 20 years worth of painting in 2 years. remember this is a marathon not the 100 yd dash. but hey thats just my opinion.

Guest mugshot Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 i can consider, mber and nace fr8 kings, they been both hitten them for years and both have quality and quantity, i considr bfk kings also, who would you consider a west coast king or canadian king???, i know everyone hates the numbers talk but seriously does anyone know how many mber has? he must have like 2000 or so, i catch him daily at least once.

Guest TrustEvil Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 if you really want to push the issue, then the question must be asked, what qualifies as a "number" ?...i've seen tons of kids dropping numbers besides their "pieces" when in fact i would hardly call their effort a burner....so how are you gonna keep track....we can't rely on the 4 or 5 or 6 colors making it a piece theory because i have seen black and whites that kill anything with 700 fancy colors in the fill in....does it boil down to the amount of time the writer spent on the burner ? because that won't work either...some people simply paint faster than others, doesn't mean one piece is more valid than the other. so what are you counting ? it would be very easy for me to run out and rock 15 color simples in one night and to you they might look like little burners and to someone else they might look like a glorified colored-in throw-up....so who gets to decide what is what ? do you count everything you do ? shit, i forget half the ones i drop simply because i don't take flicks of them because to me they hardly count...but to someone spotting them in wisconsin they may be like shit, that guy has tons of work rolling...while i'm not even considering that work as a "number"...so where do you draw this "fr8 king" line ? clearly you cannot rely on numbers alone, because that's just fraud....and why should you be counting anyways ? you should just be out doing it and be content that you can get away with it. taxer, i'm sorry but i don't think dropping names and numbers will help you out any....as i have illustrated, it is impossible to quantify the term and you will never be able to know just what and how much is really getting done.... if you really want a number (which i still believe only plays a small roll in being on that king status), then i'd say after 1000 solid fr8s done (no tags, no throwies, no monikers, no half ass straight letters, no spit-can fill-ins-with inlines-calling-it-a-piece), you can say that said writer has put in some work and his dedication cannot be denied....but that still might not make him a king because these days kids claim 500 a year so within 2-3 years they are over 1000 fr8s...but they are still new to the game and don't have the experience of longevity that a king will have.

Sonik3000 Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 I'd say anything above eight inches is pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest SPFlatty Posted April 27, 2002 Share Posted April 27, 2002 Originally posted by Sonik3000 I'd say anything above eight inches is pretty good. that's not even valid anymore...they've got that longitude shit, and a whole bunch of other pills to make your shit longer...everyone's a cheater these days:( that's the best response so far tho...:lol: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
urban ghost Posted April 28, 2002 Share Posted April 28, 2002 I think to measure a true king you would have to get length and girth.......just my opinion though...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Canadiano Posted May 1, 2002 Share Posted May 1, 2002 Originally posted by SPFlatty that's not even valid anymore...they've got that longitude shit, and a whole bunch of other pills to make your shit longer... what the fuck??? THeY got pills that make it longer??? Damn! I've been told my girth is good, but I'm curious as to how this pill works. SPF, I would be much appreciative if you could throw me some (toll-free) numbers. I'm Canadian, so don't give none of that American HMO, private health care shit. Oh yeah - you weren't joking, were you? I've heard nuff porn starz do the cheating. Also - anyone know if someone can grow a dependancy on Viagra? ps - don't even try and diss, 'cuz trust me, I make the bitches happy - i just wouldn't mind an eleven inch cock.
