this is a 100% full blown blatant lie, if i pm'ed you that i want to see it, print screen it and post it, liar.

 

if you want to say that pm about robem is about this, you're a fucking IDIOT.

 

i posted that pariz because it's such a blatant GBAK bite.

 

you are one stupid mother fucker, god damn.

 

The grenade is classic Jim Philips art. That's like you're sayin a Bode character is a bite.

 

technically it is, but it's origins come from earlier days when writers werent as talented as they are today and they embraced Bode' for his outlandish ideas, it has become tradition to pay homage. Paying homage is not the same as biting.

 

This is graffiti 101, it's one thing to do someones art as homage, another for a 3rd party to bite the writers homage with no knowledge of its origin, and mix it with some Askew /Mickey Mouse hands.

Mode 2: There was a time when you would show up to Covent Garden on a Saturday, show your blackbook, and get so dissed and laughed at if you had stuff that looked like someone else’s, that you would have to go back and find your own. Biting was such a humiliating thing to do then, and nobody wanted to get pulled up on that. Since the fanzines in the early 90s, and the websites and jams and all that, people started to get into biting to such a degree that no one seems to care that so much looks the same, and that we don’t have the richness and diversity of the mid ‘80s.

 

If you’re not in that crew, you can’t use that style, that’s it, period. That’s what made things evolve so incredibly on the New York scene, where people were always fighting to be more original and come with something new. Things would get sorted out physically or violently back then anyway, if heads started to break the rules.People were getting hurt for more trivial stuff anyway, so imagine if you were biting style from a bigger crew than yours!

I see the same thing in graphics, in the b-boying, and on wax also; people are incessantly using other people’s stuff, and not even acknowledging where they bit something from; check out how Delta’s style got ripped by people like Daim for instance! Find your OWN shit, dude; but once you feel like you’ve moved on, don’t act like it never happened, as there are a lot of people alive who do not forget, OR forgive for that matter.
