2501 Posted March 29, 2011 Share Posted March 29, 2011 And I'm sure everyone will have a beef with some detail of the city(s) they were from, in my case I'm pretty disapointed they gave a whole paragraph in the Mpls section to Daesk, a toy who never really did anything in writing, and barely mentioned KEPT, who as much as the cool kids might not like him anymore, was a gigantic presence in Minneapolis graffiti during the 90's, influenced all sorts of people's style, basically brought roller paint out as the catalyst for big graffiti, and bombed a whole hell of a lot harder than some of his partners who are more well known today, but who really wouldn't be half as hooked up in the game as they are now without help from that dude. But again, c'est la vie, you can't expect people not to act like people. Your thoughts, Minneapolis? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten thousand fr8s Posted March 30, 2011 Share Posted March 30, 2011 theres pretty much nothing in the streets to be flicking anymore. 98% of every spot that can possibly be done has been done a zillion times already and will only get buffed in a few days or weeks tops. i miss the days when a person could hop on a bike and come home with a whole roll full of good quality bombing photos. now your lucky to find a single thing worth the effort. as far as that book goes, i havent read it but i wouldnt be the least bit surprised to find out that it leaves out people who deserve the most credit. and thats just the way it goes. the people who are least deserving always get the most public recognition...

chillchillin Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 yeah, people go get up. paint freights and use your scraps to bomb. i will admit the buff is discouraging, and now that winter is ending its getting worse. BUT, sometimes you luck out and a filtin rides 6 months or tags ride a year... its probability folks. it comes down to the fact that graff isnt about being raw and lurkin anymore, or just creating illegal art for the sake of it, a lot of it is about flickin your chill piece and postin it and having toys or other urban artists give you props.... and fuck that. im no graff cop and nothing anyone does is "right", its all opinion and context. so thanks wholeman and cheesecurd for the quality benching flicks.

Cold Crush Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I miss Minneapolis. You guys do more quality graffiti than 75% of cities with recognized graff scenes. Although... I do miss my years coming up there, when it was still HM, KYT, 7MK, BTR, NTS everywhere, and we were trying to make a name for ourselves. My relationship with graffiti has evolved into a strange weird complex thing since, but back then I'd get so hyped when I'd see a Blast throw-up that it would make me do something stupid like daytime tags in uptown, and I'd call all my friends and ask if they'd seen it, and we'd get together and sketch for hours and talk shit... Riding the bus back and forth a five times to do different spots across the cities, meeting new writers, the old shed at intermedia... I hope the kids coming up feel the same sort of hope and fun and lust for graffiti that I did back then. I might be too wasted right now and these are just nostalgiac-ramblings... blah blah, glad to see all these pictures from all these friends, acquaintances and rivals, you're all doing ill shit. Can't wait to come back for a visit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ten thousand fr8s Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 i think the problem is most people got no heart for it anymore. too many newer writers only do like one outline on a highway, one night of silver tags in uptown, and five or ten chill wall spots a year. as kids we knew our citys awesome history and wanted nothing more than to live up to (and beyond) the expectations. our philosophy was to combine all aspects of the best graff that we saw coming up and then to consolidate it all into one movement. we were inspired by the old school uptown tracks/bombshelter era of the midwest style burners by people like eros ewok monk intel logik crisis chen dzise etc. as well as the more funky and simplistic fr8 styles and fr8 numbers put up by people like mber spell and hope 4. we also knew that you had to be up and maintain a presence in the streets and were heavily influenced by the serious crushing of people like kept puzl eski poe blast vent 26 and the one man wrecking crew that was gift nts. as well as others like sierra thnx nymz rehab dsc ensue fails gain etc. we also learned the importance of strategic subtle tags and all around up-ness and consistency of yen34. at the same time we were also inspired by the work, as well as the friendly (and sometimes not so friendly) competition of 7mk/wins crew. i know the city has dramatically changed in the past 15 years but i still think that if enough people learned the history, are down for the cause and not afraid to get their hands dirty, that the torch could continue to keep burning strong in minnesota. so to the people who actually are putting in work right now - keep it up. learn from the past and adapt to the future. peace...
