Tupac at the Santa Fe yard in LA, 1993

Practice makes perfect! which is probably why i can easily burn most of the gay crap that i see riding on freights nowadays :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :) :):) :) :) :) :)

Stapler types better English than a lot of the 13 year old wiggers on here who have it as their native language-not bad! To those of you trying to diss him, lets see you try to type in German or French or whatever? Anyway, to address the topic, I am from the US and i for one dont really give a fuck about freights. I might use a freight yard as a chill spot to practice styles, but as far as i'm concerned the streets and freeways is where the real action is.

When kids are sitting there jizzing all over their computers because someone bombed an overpass... i gotta wonder where you all are from. Wyoming? LOL In california the overpasses have been getting rocked regularly for like the past 20 years.

I like the old stuff a lot better than the new

:lol: :lol: :lol: so true

Re: Don't Call it Frisco its the frisco thread-- that goes without saying

haha ...looks like he decided to bring back the old boot throwie

numbah wan writah in LA

who's above that pluto shit? looks like it was fresher than the stuff you chose to flick

Except thats really not what your early 90s stuff looked like. Howcome noone seems to bother with complex colorful fills anymore? Dont get me wrong I've got nothing but respect for your work, I'm just curious about that...

JA can be seen creeping in a lot of oldschool LA flicks http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/scan0043_1137261032.jpg http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/risk_10b_1195691457.jpg http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/Ozer%20USK126_1153649471.jpg http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/SER VEX ASH BC_1158441196.jpg http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/scan50mm4.jpg

More history--this was posted (ostensibly) by LA legend NYSE awr tcf on citynoise.org NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 06:46 GMT Yeah, We never met man, but you and me? we have a little history. It was 1989 and you came to LA. You dissed pretty much every burner that wasn't WCA or BC. That included 2 or 3 of mine. On one I had my girls initial in a little heart next to the piece - it was a 'j' yeah, you changed it to a JA. I laughed then and I still laugh. You killed like 3 miles of wall flanking the 405 during that trip and regardless of you dissing my shit for no particular reason, you really did some damage, I gotta give you that. Pulled that shotgun on Danny Boy too while dissing that Rise/KSN piece on melrose. That was a busy vacation for you. So, really you've been dissing my crew since the late 80's. Stabbed? Maybe that beef is squashed maybe not, I dont know anything about about it. But it started in 88 or 89 and you started it. Just wanted to clarify that shit. It's been a long time since then and I think its pretty amazing that any of us are still around - that's what really matters. NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 20:18 GMT One more thing about that stabbing. As far as I know those guys had beef before M was in MSK, it just spilled over. Maybe JA can shed some light on it. Another story worth mention - Some CBS cats years back were in the LA river while they buffed his throwups over there pieces on one side of the river, they looked accross to see Him dissing their pieces on the other side of the river. hahaha.... Well, they tried to go serve him and he shot at them then fled - seems he had city keys cause he was driving a truck in the wash. Everyone assumes he got access through his dad's connection - like production permits or whatever.

Im pretty sure that statement is referring to REV of KSN(old school LA)--not the guy that makes pieces out of metal Heres a little more background: The day before JA and REAS blew out of Los Angeles, they'd driven to the U-Haul place and rented a container for the car roof. As he packed up, getting ready to leave town, JA figured he had racked 700 cans of spray paint. Actually, he had 700 left, having gone through 3,000 cans during his eight-month stay in Los Angeles. "I was getting a hundred and fifty cans a day, " JA told REAS. "The paint is beautiful out here. The racks are incredibly easy." Which meant it was no trouble for him to swipe cans, a dozen at a time, from the shelves and racks. In New York, they were locked away by ordinance. Not so in L.A., which in its innocence, had never been invaded by the likes of JA on "racking" binges. Some kids called it "inventing" their paint. The penal code calls it theft. By whatever means, JA and REAS would be returning home with an arsenal of unprecedented proportions by New York graffiti standards, all of it packed in the U-Haul roof container. JA had left his mark behind on the West Coast. Of course, there were no subways out there-it was, after all, L.A., the expressway capital of the world. So JA bombed highway walls. Buses. All through Venice. He warred with KSN-Kings Stop at Nothing-a major graffiti crew on the West Coast. "Within a week or two, I just wiped them out, everything they had, for no real reason," JA said. JA had been in Los Angeles to try an acting career. As the movie director who' d filmed J oe, R ocky , and The K arate K id, his father, **** ********, had found JA a part in Karate Kid III as a henchman of the evil guy terrorizing Ralph Macchio. When that wrapped up, the young ******** found little work acting, and spent his time picking tag fights with the local graffiti writers. "They were making millions of public threats that I was going to be shot, " said JA, "that they had the Bloods and the Crips looking for me. Which they swore to be true."

JA made a big impression when he visited LA back in 89 http://www.50mmlosangeles.com/images/gallery/large/doomja50mm.jpg
