I had this page up but wasn't logged in at the time that you posted that... so actually I was one of those 10 "guests." No offense taken.

You're trippin'. Been lurking on here for the last few weeks because 12oz. login systems sucks and their "forgot password" feature is broken. Had to brainstorm to remember my old password in order to post this.

OK. I beg to differ. Though you might not think that the penolopy know what the deal is, they know enough to figure out how to walk to a fucking red line spot. Get real. Calling me a fuckhead doesn't change that.

Please do post that shit. INB4 shitstorm.

WTF? Do you really think that the 5-O are like... "Oh shit, Google Maps. Why didn't we think of that?" "Whoa. The train runs right by all of these Red Line spots." "They use paint to do this graffiti stuff!" GTFO, you're a mark ass buster for even giving 2 fucks.

Oh, and just for the record.... I know the rest of y'all are doing exactly what I was doing, which is lurking this board without signing in. I actually signed in for this shit. But one question remains. Will I ever be able to sign out?

Just to be on the safe side... when you say 'bomb' you mean painting, right? This is DC man. OK. I'm going to try to be cool about this and give you the benefit of the doubt. I was once new to DC too. I'll lay down how I first got "into" the red line. 1. Ride the train and find a good spot. 2. Make a mental note of where the spot is in relation to surface streets. 3. Check a map to see where the best access is http://maps.google.com 4. Get your paint together. 5. Use whatever mode of transportation is at your disposal and get to the spot. and finally (this is the most important step of all.) 6. Knock on the door of the building you want to paint and ask permission :D If you're serious then do what you gotta do. I'm old in graff years, and back in my day (besides having to walk uphill both ways to the spot) we didn't have no internet to do research so we actually had to hit the street and figure shit out. Have faith. I'm sure you'll do fine if your heart's in it. And yes, this is the only thread for DC.

Slip the bouncer a $20.

'98 was a good year.

Word.

Why would Vernon Davis be serving community service hours?

Some people are seeming a bit butthurt ITT.

I think you're missing the point. Why would they go out of their way to make that distinction? I can see it now... random dude- "Hey, what you write?" Orfn TDM- "I write Orfn." random dude- ":eek: What!?!?! Oh shit, you da bes mane!!" Orfn TDM- "I deed it! :D "

RIP Sope... I think the real lesson we should all learn from this, is that we're all bammas in some shape or form. Acme, you's a bamma for being anonymous (not really, I'm anonymous too.) SMK, you's a bamma for talking shit online and not painting (being older isn't an excuse.) I'm a bamma because I'm writing this right now (and many other reasons.) The fact is that we're all human (except for the Chinese spambots, they're not human :heated:) and that we all have our moments of bammadom. What's so bad about that? Legalize bamma. But on the real, everytime you argue on 12oz you's tasting my dick. Word.

This album cover cracks me up.:lol:

Somebody wake me up when shit is crackin' in here. BTW, how do you know Dahm went over you? Like, were you watching the spot 24/7 to know that it didn't get hacked before he took the spot? Maybe shit got dissed before he got there. Just sayin'.

I originally said '99 as a guess. I know that dude's been painting for at least 10 years... but to me '99 doesn't really seem like that long ago, so 1999 or 2002 doesn't really make much of a difference. On a side note, these new video ads really harsh my mellow. :burn:

Ah.. I get it now. It sounded a little suggestive mentioning ass, face and boy in the same sentence.:lol: No homo.

WTF?!?

Actually, it's so bad I missed a few. Originally Posted by redlinekiller (View Original Post) Another thing a lot of you newer guys need to learn is that it isn't about only hitting spots inside DC. Nothing wrong at all with hitting spots in the burbs and along the highways. A good size straight letter on the side of 95 gets seen more in a day than any street fill in DC does in a month. Two reasons for this . If you do a 12-15 foot long straight letter on a sound wall beside the highway that's not already covered with graf it sticks out like a sore thumb and people will read it whether they're trying to or not. Second reason is that,as most of you know, when bombing inside DC you gotta work real fast. The end result is a bomb that ( while may look good and be legible to you and other graf writers) realistically the average person passing by can't even read it, and if you can't read it what's the point? You might as well write a different name every time. Back in the early 2000's I destroyed all lines, was king of the streets in DC, hit a clean train in early '03, a number of spots on all the major highways in and out of DC, and a little over 100 freights.

Wow. I don't even know where to start. Actually, I started by correcting your grammar/spelling. On a side note. Ego is a pretty lame reason to do graff (or anything else for that matter.)

Naw man, he's just doing a 'cover' of that Phone piece. :lol: Wow... OK, so I guess I didn't realize how bad that "P" was. Overall Phaze's letters don't look much like Phone's, so that's what I was going by. That P is pretty shameless though. And yes, dude's been painting for at least 10 years if not since '99. I used to see Phaze running on 101 in Mateo county and on Golden West freights back then. I don't even know Phaze, so I could care less.

That's why I asked. SF writers often don't give much of a shit what's going on in Oakland let alone the East Coast. And you expect us to have knowledge of Phone from VA? Get real. I give Phone respect, but I haven't read the autobiography yet... my bad. :D Also I said that Phaze has been painting that style since '99, but that's a moot point.

Phone from VA? Phaze has been painting with that style since '99 or so... has Phone been writing that long? That's a serious question, because I'd never heard of Phone until recently.

"I started doing Graff waaaay back when I was still a kid." "the main reason I even started graffiti was from a video game called “Jet Set Radio Future” :lol: This is an oxymoron. But really though, I give Art his respect... at least dude puts in some work, and not some pussy talking shit on 12oz. Dude got interviewed, so what?!? Haters gonna hate.
