oh yeah, i remember when i used to stay primarily by the west side of the tracks so as to avoid any metro north trains seeing me. it seemed like TFP always ran the whole spot, but especially that side. oh, and if anyone doubts how nasty and how up Key was, look at the tasty Key tag above Sento AND the 'key' throwies on BOTH sides of the pillar on the easternmost wall. absoludicrous.

 

i'm so glad to hear you say that about KEY i think his hand style is so dope i always loved his sence of style. and the unconventional throw-up was sick as hell. in my opinion one of the 80's most under rated bombers. i think tfp rock that west wall cause it could be seen from the bronx river.(just a guess)

from an outside prespective.

 

i did not live in the bronx so i had a 2 hour ride to 238th street. i think i only went to the west walls 2 times. it was such a mission to get there and there were so many walls on the east side of the river. but for the writers who lived there it was easy cause they could just come down on the yonkers side. the ill shit about the east walls was dodging the metro north trains, which would take you out if you werent careful, or even ambushing them when they were stopped.

Fucking key was ill. even after the whole 238thST, rooftop and IRT slayage, i continued to catch his freights outside of new york. totally a pioneer in the fr8 game and brought that old bronx flavor to the rest of the nation. definite baller status that guy.

 

speaking of which, anybody got any old club med fliks? i got some but there in storage.

not disrupt the flow of the thread but heres one i did for my high school sweetheart at club med, 1989.

yes, and the footprints are actually by this guy named mirage who used to rock those "fast feet" all over the city. trains highways streets trucks etc. i think he was killed in a car accident in 89. he was fresh as fuck though with those feet.

 

nice fliks from "The Subway" by the way.

Straight out the jungle Lp another good choice fto browse these wonderful mid-eighties photos.
