omar little Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 "We" do what we do because we're going for some kind of mass appeal for DC's sake. Not 4 Nothing, but as far back as 2000 whatever, everyone either disses or has no clue about DC. And we're NOT having that. So, we push for style that isn't too "dead-end"...i.e.- shit that looks like you weren't paying attention or trying too hard to be original. Naturally we identify with classic stuff that's legible and got that funk; its what gets respect and is the original foundation, regardless of what you have to say about compromising one's city. At the same time, we take into consideration where we're from/at. And if we're being hypocritical or contradictory, at the end of the day, at least we're having some fun, which unlike "the concept of style", is pretty damn clear to us. If you like another type of "style", feel free to run with it. There's nothing really stopping you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SOAKER Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 the classic styles and the lettering are what is lacking in graffiti these days. Paying homage to originators and pushing these basic skills like TAGS, THROWS, Straight letters and then actually BOMBING them and WRITING them in a public area like the streets and lines is what its about. These younger cats need to learn form theat shit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
omar little Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 classic europe letters? not me buddy. i just enjoy the traditional shit... aka NYC shit with a little bit of philly, boston, dc, la (Porn/charlie), and even minneapolis in the mix. maybe in the process i'm rediscovering and coming up with new perspectives on the classics... but if i don't come up original, oh well. i feel i owe it to the pioneers in nyc and to fuckin graffiti in general to figure out old ways, instead of just immediately doing something shockingly original. the way i see it, i don't wake up as a white dude or whatever thinking i'm gonna innovate go-go music with some banjos and shit, because i personally don't see it as my role to tamper with someone else's shit like that. but i will tamper with it, with good taste. the fact and matter is... it is no shocking news that phase 2 and dondi would be shitting on me... in fact phase 2 was shittin on all of us for a minute. he specifically said that nothing new has been done since the 80's, except for mentioning SLICK from LA. but shit that's not gonna stop me from painting some letters.

Cassidy Posted January 21, 2008 Share Posted January 21, 2008 i really dont see the argument..its all graffiti wether youre doing original wild styles or not. we all write our name on shit..wether its good or not its the essence of what we do. granted id rather look at something groundbreaking and what have you but you cant hate on the person for actually gettin out there and doing it.

Yo bangbang...the thing is most these cats are young in the game and if they stay in it at least they have a solid foundation...and then go from there with inovation...
