Pistol Posted November 5, 2002 Share Posted November 5, 2002 Most gangster style writing is wack. But only because they don't put such a big importance on it. But the Chicano gangs in Los Angeles take great pride in their writing. Just take a look at Chaz or Mr. Cartoon for some examples. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.garf_E Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 a gang should'nt take pride in their writting, they only take pride in the territory they claimed, thats the main reason they did graffiti, real gangsters aren't in it for the fame they do it to show that they've marked their spot, thats the real gang graffiti, they dont look for styles alothough they all have something similar......but all gangs are different!

Ran_dumbs Posted November 6, 2002 Share Posted November 6, 2002 ... I have seen some crazy old English letters done by some gangs, I thought it was cool. But in my town, gang graffiti isn't about style it's about marking your territory(like everything else in gang graffiti). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
imported_YEAHMANWORD Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 Originally posted by MR.garf_E he was'nt bullshitting when he meant gangster shit, but most gang related writing is where the art of graffiti was derrived from so most of you should think twice before dissing, im not saying look up to it but dont ever look down on it, i speak for the art that was there from the beggining, not the writting you see today, most of it tends to have a graffiti art form mixed in with it. utterly wrong about graff having roots in that gangster shit...learn some history boyoooooo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MR.garf_E Posted November 11, 2002 Share Posted November 11, 2002 are you telling me to learn my history? trust me, i know my history, and i know it well, i've been in the graffiti art scene for over 8 years so i think i can say i do know my history, and if graffiti wasn't derived from gangs then who or what was it from? im not even gonna waiste my time going into an argument over this.

Oh so that didnt impress you? :( i was doing my latest material there :D Ive read up quite a bit about graff some 7 years ago when i was getting into it, im not saying ur right or wrong, its just that from what i know graff today isnt from the gang graff back then. Then again im not from the US so i couldve missed something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MR.garf_E Posted November 12, 2002 Share Posted November 12, 2002 well i do live in the US, i dont think that makes a difference. i cant say if any gangs these days use stencils or not, i know that they didn't back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
