But fool does have flavor:o ya now go get the first issue of clout or check out some smog pieces from the late 90's / 00 or 01, the bar structures, fat horizontal bars, skinny verticles, the two tone highlights, whatever else. and then go peep some msk or whoever from down south shit from those same years. fuckin lts alien pieces with teeth and shit, or some fuckin dungeons and dragons magic the gathering ass shit.. either that or that chunky rock stuff duem and all those sort of people were doing. thats smogs shit, whatever though, everyone knows anyway, all the guys that were the first to start doing it after anyway, they know who they got it off. dude had that shit in artshows with grime and them in sf years ago. fools seen it. thats why no one says shit, thats like the fuckin little "i paint like a cyber-cholo" dark secret of modern west coast style. fuckin whole shit got flipped by some san jose kid. whatever, its just how it is. no biggie. fools wanna be top dog but aint got no evidence of the progression, they just got an instant makover on their shit all of the sudden.. its just good its being brought up a little again. used to see that colt45 guy calling hella people in la out about biting smog like 4 years ago on this thing. no mention since really though. you see fools cry all kinds when sigh or someone start painting like grey, but if its some dude from la or some guy that jocked his way into some la crew he never have nothing to do with growing up painting like smog, its like "hey he grew up around that shit, its all good, thats their shit, word"... even though half the guys grow up like an hour out in some house where if they don't mow their lawn they get a fine and onlt get to choose from 5 tones of beige next time they want to paint the outside of the house. neighborhood associations are the homies! holmes! la aint the only place that cholo shit was around, i think there was a tiny bit of it in around this place san jose, the original home of..... wait, whats that magazine called....... oh ya, lowrider magazine, thats right. even veks the whitest most artfaggiest guy in that crew, grew up the only white kid in a deep cut old old chicano neighborhood as a kid... and had a spanish speaking family in san jose, sleeping on the couch and shit with no room haha. wait he finally got a room for like a year before he got kicked out of the house. it was cool going over to smogs spot in highschool though, 2 bedroom apartment with like 15 people living it it. hella babys everywhere. but it's all good, theyre just some rich kids from seattle or something, jockin shit they saw on tv or something. copying those authentic block prints from varrio thousand oaks essay, and then changing the years back when they hittup around their pieces. havnt fucked with 12oz in years, forgot how fun talking shit on the internet is. dont get sad, im just playing. smog didnt start that style - i just made that up out of nowhere. it'll be ok. and that veks paint louis piece never happened. really.
