Reposting Old interview from http://www.visualorgasm.com/interviews/fs_interview08_sake.html

 

 

The Batttle To Stay On Top.

This interview was done over email and finally Sake has a answered the questions. He has seen many generations of bombers come and go while his persistance to get up continues.

Vorg: How long have you been bombing for and why do you think so many bombers go hard and then fall off completely, while you keep going at?

 

 

 

Sake: I have been writing for around 8 years now.

 

People fall off for various reasons. I have seen hundreds of writer's come and go. If it is not in your heart than you will not last. You need mad heart and dedication to maintain anything you do in life. Real graff is on another level, you need need heart, dedication, guts, street smarts, courage, and a tolerance for people hating on you. You must be able to make sacrifices, get used to seeing all your hard work disappear and be able to maintain staying up. You can't be a wuss or you will get stepped on, you risk getting arrested, facing jail time, hefty fines, community work and ruining all you fresh gear and kicks. A lot of people do not even have half of this that is why the majority do not last. I hate when I see kids who bomb hard for a year or two and then they think they are the illest. I have seen this happen many times and that is why if someone is bombing a lot for a year or two it does not impress me, I have been there, done that and I am still doing it 8 years later. The real challenge is keeping up for more than a few years since the average span of a writer is two to three years or less. Staying around for more than a few years separates the real from the fake ass writers. No one can ever diss a real bomber because a bomber is a graff writer, there is no other way around it. I am not saying I will write forever, I can't say what tomorrow holds, but at least I have been around and have seen a lot more than someone who has only painted a year or two. In this day in age it is hard to find people with a passion for something that does not give you money in exchange for your services. Graff is unacceptable to most people. Graff is not supposed to be accepted by everyone, the day it is, is the day graff dies because there will be no more challenges for any one any more. Graff is going against all odds; regardless of the negativity that is piled on you just shake it off.

 

THE REAL ONES STAY TRUE WHILE YOU SUCKAS COME AND GO....

Vorg: What keeps you motivated to keep on bombing?

 

 

Sake: There is always another spot to hit or re-hit with new throws, tags, blockbusters, rollers, or just new styles. Over the years it just became a part of me like eating and breathing. The feeling you get when you hold a can and just go buckwild!!! The feeling of going out and not knowing if I am going to make it back safely without getting busted or getting into any beef or even dying because I love a challenge. Anybody can just walk up to a wall and paint it but not everyone can climb and hang off 6 inch ledges and still make there shit come out phat and get away with it. When you are doing a crazy spot all these things are rushing through your mind and body. Are the cops coming? Is that big guy over there going to run up and try and punch me? Did anyone that matters see me? Am I going to fall to my death? This is all a part of the drug; graffiti has me addicted, seriously! Also what has me addicted is that it is something creative to do with my time.

 

I sit back and see all these club hopping faggots thinking they're somebody or that they're doing something important by spending all their days working. At night they spend all their money at clubs looking down on people like me because I do graff and don't get paid from it. I can do what they do, it is easy, but is it easy to stay up for years through all the bullshit you go through, from beef to the buff haters? People that have no clue why you love graff so much putting you down for what you do, what they would never have the guts to do. All this feeds the fire inside of me, which keeps me constantly hitting the streets. GRAFF IS TOO ILL…..TOO REAL!! RAW HARDCORE!! Risking everything you have, to do what you love, regardless of anyone's opinion and get nothing but pure satisfaction and self-gratification back. I like people I don't know hating me it's ill, because I have nothing to say about them, I don't care about those people. I've never heard of them, but you know they have heard of me, that is why they can't stop running there mouth like little girls. Keep running your mouth while I keep on running the streets. Keep on hating me I never asked for anyone's approval and I never will.

Vorg: Is there anything you won't hit?

 

Sake: When I first started I thought I can't hit old monuments or churches or stuff like that but if you really think about it there is like a million religions out there, which one is the right one, who decides? Everyone has their own beliefs and I think if you do graff you pretty much have no respect for any property. 99% of the world looks at graff as wrong, they believe graff is wrong just as much as they believe in there bullshit made up religion, graff is my religion it's what I believe in and who is to say my beliefs are any better or any worse than someone else's? It is what I choose to do. Life is short and precious, if you find something you love then do it. Some people go through their whole life and never find something they love and they live for someone else. I will live my life the way I want to, not the way you say I should. Government shit should be the first thing you should hit unless it's a monument to someone who saved lives or freed slaves or made a difference in this world for the better etc. Hitting churches or someone's apartment is pretty much the same because someone will always see it as wrong to hit it but in the end it is how you see it that matters.

 

Vorg: What do you get out of all this?

 

Sake: I get self-satisfaction and self-gratification. Knowing at the end of the day that I did something that I wanted to do. I get a rush. I get as much satisfaction as anyone else who does what they love, whether it be basketball, rapping, djing etc. Graff is what I love, it's my pleasure.

 

 

 

Vorg: Ever think about stopping?

 

 

 

Sake: I think one day I will stop, but I try to in vision a day when I wake up and do not have the feeling of needing to paint, but I don't see it happening any time soon.

Vorg: What gives you a visual orgasm?

Sake: Going out the next day and seeing a dope spot I just hit or seeing a dope spot I hit for the hundredth time and seeing my shit everywhere I go.

 

 

Vorg: Do you have any influences?

 

Sake: No, I am not a follower. I was never one to look up to anyone. I always liked doing my own thing. I don't look at anyone as someone that is better than me because they have a bigger name or are more famous than me; I respect others who have as much love for graff as me. Where I am from I was the first to really go all city and really kill shit and I am still killing shit. If you come to Montreal and see anyone up I was up before them and I am still up. I am not conceded or any thing I just know what I have done and where I have been. I know where I stand in his graff game and so do all the real heads.

Vorg: Last words?

 

Sake:Mad respect to all the real heads around the world, maintaining against all odds and doing what you love regardless of what others say. No respect to legal piecers because you ain't shit, you are just artists who lack the graff part, the illegal part, the real part, the part that 99 percent of the world does not respect, stick to museums and art expos. If you want to do legal walls fine but don't think you are a writer because you do them, they don't count for anything, you risk nothing doing a million legal walls. Doing legal walls you get your mom and grandmas respect and everyone else who do not understand real graffiti. What is so hard about sitting at your house all day drawing then going out and saying excuse me sir can I please paint on your wall with my pretty drawing. It is different if you see a legal wall by someone who actually has put their mark on the city but a piece by someone who hasn't done shit illegal doesn't do anything for me These people are too scared to bomb or got caught and gave up or people who think if they bomb that it will just get buffed or crossed, then they don't realize that it is all part of the game. It is cool if you do your share of bombing or you have bombed for years and cant bomb any more by all means do legal walls but if you just do legal walls or freights in a bush or a forest somewhere with no sign of civilization please do not call your self a writer a REAL GRAFF WRITER IS SO MUCH MORE THAN THAT......

 

MOST HIGH RESPECT TO THE REAL HEADZ IN IT FOR MORE THAN A MINUTE>>>
