I think you could sit down some of the books out lining dates related to graffiti history and some more books relating to the history of modern music in the last 30 years and look long and hard the relation of the cultures over lapping. Was Blaze doin head spins in a fubu jumper or was he listening to funk,rock and roll and disco? What about Cornbread and the other pioneers of graffiti, at the time were they preaching four elements and preservation of said hip hop culture, or were they fucking painting graffiti?
I get pretty fucking annoyed with writers when it comes to hating other dudes over music. Anyone that holds on to the idea of a graffiti being solely one genre of music is a narrow minded fuck and should read up more.
