DETROIT GRAFFITI

Recommended Posts

alot of those are indeed the same people under several names. some others are just people who came up with tags for the hell of it, but never had any interest in actually being a writer.

 

 

older ones you missed. (some more dedicated than others.)

zen, snuz, jeru, jstarr, jedi, sun tzu, verses, bum sticky, new wave, epod, laz wunz out, hazard, game, BM, aero, silk(!), b dogg, ogre, deco, iago, cypha, ques...

i know there's a bunch more i can't think of right now, some i even painted with. hopefully sekt will remember. i've also left out the dozens of side names me and past crew members have used.

regarding the list - you have MP at number 5 but you don't have Betue from MP / LJC / DFW / MASON in there at all.

 

He has a tag running somewhere I'm sure lol. Go check it out!

[/b]

 

 

I thought Betue MP was the same guy - as in 2 names...I never knew it was a crew...gettng my history lesson in.

there was some writers left off that list.....and what is TOXSICK doin on the list...lol...man i laughed so hard i pissed myself.....lmao

 

we were all drunk on the reserve and thought it would be funny to throw Toxsick on there...thing is though, they do get up more than some people on that list...but that's getting up...no quality involved...

 

<!--QuoteBegin-detroit red@Jan 23 2006, 10:38 AM

the cats who were up by 98 should get together and do a wall at the yard. all old names.

we can do a fone,wise,crils,scirb,know,time production goin. hahaa

 

I would pay cash money to see that too - someone could gather up a bunch of old schoolers and make a killing...

 

 

Lastly, I put that list on there becuase I don't know all the old people and was trying to learn some history...hell half of the old school people on there my buddy contributed, so I'm definately learning...

 

thanks for the input.

farms is definitely not justo (but, coincidentally, he did just call me while i was typing up the following...)

 

do you want the history of detroit graffiti, or do you want a list of every person who wrote their name at least once? cause there's a big difference.

 

...this has always been the biggest problem with detroit graff (in my opinion). there's never really been much interaction between older cats and younger ones...because of that, you get shit like this, where your only knowledge of our 'history' comes from alt tags on photos on the internet. back in the day (and im sure sect will agree with me) it wasn't like that at all. there was alot more 'schooling', and a lot more appreciation for anyone who could teach you something new, even if you had to eat shit to get it. for instance, justo generally hated us all, but i think we all kind of learned from that regardless (atleast i know i did). he was like the king of 'tough love', except there was really no 'love', ha, just our determination to prove him wrong. of course again, maybe that's just me. either way, i think all of us had just as much interest in 'graffiti' and everything it meant to be a writer, as we did in writing our own names. maybe that's the case now a days, but it generally doesn't seem like it too much.

oh well.

 

you forgot pest, he was a cool kid.
