Mic Check... One that was on my computer from a few years back. Not a burner, but def some style.

Peace Party People, I'm back too and will hopefully bring back some others old and new. I'll try not to be an asshole this time. First Challenge... read through these first 5 pages of comments. I used to get on here while slacking at work but I literally have almost zero time these days. - DASH Somehow I still remember my "signature"... "True Masters Respect The Craft"

God to see Kepos back spraying, and Dekay dropping telling the war stories.

You shoulda whooped his ass bro.

Good Point, the colors got all fucked up in this pic. The Jungle and Fed Green look the same. I couldnt even tell that was Cascade in yours. Looks like Cascade Polka-Dots in that other WANE panel too. Jungle Green was not the best krylon color ever made. It was definitely a nice bright color, but had a really horrible coat if you wanted to fill with it. Parrot Green was even worse, almost as bad as floral paint. Most of these kids that stress jungle green so hard never actually used it.

...

Zed, That dude may be losing his memory. My money is on Rusto "Speedy Dry" Lime Green. Fed Safety Green is the color in those 2 HIMS and WANE Panels.

Damn I been off this site for mad long and come back to see toys still crying about the same shit. How do my dudes put up with it?

Yo i did not post that toy shit with my comment. What the fuck?

The 1st pic is RASTA RTW, the 2nd pic is RASTA CIA who unfortunately, has recently passed.

^^ Probably the realest shit I ever read on this site. Many of us share and propagate4 that sentiment. I'd say it was has all been done by 79. Then PERFECTED by 83. In my opinion, even the dopest shit from 84-88 never quite measured up to the Golden Age. And even including 88 is a stretch cuz only a handfull were still doing decent shit. Some have said graff stopped mattering after the trains, I say graff (Stylewise) after stopped mattering after the 1's, 2's. 5's. (86-87).

Sivel, thanks to you and Page for reaching out. Take down ur email from the site tho, I got it now and Im gonna hit u up this week. peace yall D167

Ok, so "bringing" a crew over from NYC to anywhere else requires first that the kids who "brought" it were actually DOWN, and secondly, that the prez gave them power to start a new chapter in the place where they moved to or whatever. SO, since I am in communication with both the Prez and Vice Prez of Brooklyn's Original XMEN CREW, I will ask both of them if they ever heard of and gave power to any of the the 3 individuals you mentioned above. If neither of them vouches for the 3, then we will natuarally deduce that those kids pulled the wool over your eyes in Chicago. I ain't laying any blame, YET, and it may come to pass that there might not be any to lay, but since "MOKOES" trying to come out his face at the mere mention of the Original XMEN, I being a member of the XMEN will see what I can do to humble him. I would love to find out that those dudes were actually down, cuz it would be one of the few times that a crew wasn't actually jacked, like it happens in so many other occasions. But on the real, I started going to Chicago in 93, and I hung out with some offical cats (Trixter, Ages, Triple, Severe, Sivel) and NOBODY ever mentioned a Chicago based XMEN Crew. Page, I sent you a PM to try and avoid a spectacle, but i guess one of your boys got hot under the collar and try to diss my man BEM just for pointing out the truth. ****DASH167TH**** *FCKINGS/XMENTAL*

The date on this flick is wrong, this is actually 1985. "FC goes to Hollywod" starring: West and Serge. This is the wall that introduced the west coast to Real Letters, BBoy Characters and the Liquitex Cap, or as they call them "NY Skinnys".

Kid, don't sweat yourself. Threatened, BY YOU? How COULD I be? Why you so souped, the only dap you getting is from your OWN crew on this website. You ain't nobody for me to waste time asking about shit. All I see is you throwing some fake FBA arrows and TC5 extensions on your piece, and that ain't "Flipping shit your own way". TC5 FBA FC IBMOS shit been published in books, way before magazines, way before videos and defenitley way before the internet, so stop acting. I wasnt dissing DBM for being 1 letter away from IBM, that shit dont even bother me. I was dissing YOU for trying to piece like us. Either that went over all your heads or ya'll are just mad insecure. You say you dont wanna be down, but action speak louder than words, every time u try to run our style, you just look more on the dick. Come on now, you know I dont have to say shit about what I do, I leave that for the internet chumps who make me out to be the boogie man. I talk greasy if i feel like it simply BECAUSE I CAN. Believe that. Trust me I aint ever see you up there in Connecticut, and you're a herb for even referring to that place as Fame City like the local toys do. The one I met there was MISE and another guy who's name I forget. I'm not the one having a problem here, YOU ARE. Your in denial, and your tight cuz i called you a BITER, and its huritng your ego. Instead of making up excuses, challenge yourself to go rock some ORIGINAL shit and stop leaning on my crew like we was a pair of crutches. Then you might get some real props. I wasn't trying to son you,and I still aint, but you leave yourself wide open. I was actually snapping on BEM, because in '07 even an old school cat like him would stoop to celebrate mediocrity and plagerism. You know I already had contacted you privately on your page. You and another dbm guy. I told ya'll both the same shit "CHILL WITH THE BITING SHIT" and neither of yous had a response to that. Instead you decided to complain to my man RISK when he deleted you from his friends list. You only coming out your face now, cuz this commentary became public. Graff is public and it's your own fault if you get caught with your hand in the cookie jar, now you act like I'm wrong for calling a spade a spade. Yeah I aint scared of Karate either, thats a sport for hyperactive 6 year olds. And I aint salty about nothiing, I just don't tolerate uninvited guests eating from my plate. Oh Yeah, and stop bumping the FAME CITY thread. ; ) **DIZASHIZERIZOCKWIZELLZ ** <------- ______Fathering Children_______

MISE IS SHOWING POTENTIAL, TOO BAD THAT FOR EVERY STEP HE TAKES FORWARD, HIS CREW PULL HIM 2 STEPS BACK. BEM, TOMB "KINDA REMINDS YOU"?? MORE LIKE IT'S A BLATENT ATTEMPT, RESULTING IN A CHEAP ASS IMITATION. YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO APPLAUD KIDS FOR BITING THE STYLE OF A CREW, TIME, AND PLACE THAT THEY ARE NOT EVEN REMOTELY ASSOCIATED WITH. I HATE THIS ERA OF HAND HOLDIN, ASS PATTING, AND DICK RIDING GRAFF. ------------ DASHEROCKWELLZ FAR BEYOND ANYONE IDOLIZED BY MILLIONS YES, THAT'S I.B.M. NOT dbm. NO MATTER HOW BAD YOU WISH IT OR HOW MANY TIMES YOU CLICK YOUR HEELS.

^ Oh Brother!

156 working with the fake FC from europe is not a good look.

Ahhh, if only all the posts were like this.. Thanks ZED. * For some reason, I am unable to edit my previous post, but just wanted to clarify my typo.. TAKI 183 tagged up in summer of 1970, not 71. My apologies, typing too fast.

I don't think NY'ers HATE that (fiction) statement. I think it's all the lackies from everywhere else that are preocupied with trying to scvaenge whatever crumb of legitimacy they can muster up, in typical copycat/wannabe fashion. Without taking it back any further than the 20th century,... If you want to count Gang Writing as graff, (which would be erroneus) then explore the fact that NYC had prolific gang graffiti dating WAYYY before the 50's. In fact it was so commonplace throughout those decades that by 1961 gang writing made it all the way to the sets and opening credits of West Side Story, a major hollywood release. (LA/ Hollywood imitating NY) In 1971 TAKI 183 stated that HE began putting up his tag, away from his block, in the summer of 1971, but that he got the idea when he saw JULIO 204 (away from HIS block) a few years prior in 1967. So already in 1967 JULIO 204 was bombing. I'm not sure when Cornbread claims he started writing in philly, but to say it was before NYC, it has to be at least prior to 67, and with eye witnesses or documentation, or else it don't count. Anyway, to ME, if Cornbread is Graff, then KILROY is graff. Many young people in many cities have wrote on walls for different reasons, but the youth culture of GETTING YOUR NAME UP is undisputably a New York Thang. Zed, yes I conciously left out Philly cause I'm still not convinced, but I know you can shed more light.

Word, mad cheap too! Someone should buy every copy on amazon and distribute to the toys it like the jehova witness do with their shit. Damn, you wasn't kidding about Hip Hop: The Illustrated history...!!

This was another one of my hidden hidden treasures... The text thoroughly investigates the origin, meaning and importance of nicknames, aliases, street names of kids in the mid 60's. This is one of those books that had me mad hyped that I had joined the ranks of kids who wrote their name on shit. Anyone remember the books FRESH, and HiP HOP: The Illustrated History of Breakdancing, Graffiti and Rap Music? From ages 12-14 I was lucky enough to stumble upon all these books on my obsessive graff archeological missions. Reading some of the History and Sociolgical analysis written by educated adults of the time made me feel that Graff was deeper than "just writing my name". It made me respect the craft much more and strive that much harder to excell. Back then there was very little in terms of reading material available, and writers started mad younger, but somehow we understood, appreciated and were inspired by HISTORY. Maybe it's because it was fun and interseting to go home and read about the thing you spent all day doing. Compared to the toys of today, who start writing at an older age so they should be able to reason better the idea of Time, Space and Relativity, and have TONS and TONS of reference material available to research, yet they still remain deaf, dumb and blind, make retarded comments on public forums, and think they are kings while they continue to put up their slop in the streets, legal and illegal. I just don't get it, I knew the human race had been De-volving since the fall of Egypt, Greece and Rome, but damn, today's young writers are racing to be the 1st to reach the all time low. It reminds me of one time that a bunch of guys were breaking in the street and we were explaining to a young b-boy that he was dancing way off beat. he didnt wanna hear it, so i turned off the boombox and he just kept breaking with no music. The whole circle started to laugh at the kid and then he screamed in frustation "I DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT THE BEAT"!!! Right there everyone knew that the new jack generation was not worthy of carrying the torch, and that's exactly whats happening in Graff now.
