wcf10 Posted May 19, 2010 Share Posted May 19, 2010 I was at the show Bio references in his letter and concur with everything he says. I would like to point out a couple of facts that are irrefutable and should put this matter to rest. When Luis walked into that show he introduced himself as Stay High 149. It was during Wayne's 20 year absence so there was no reason to share the credit with him at the time. Now that Wayne's back and remembered by so many he has no choice. Wayne had already been pictured in NY Magazine in 1973. Luis is Spanish but that photo depicted a black man. Another fact regarding Luis's claim of writing name with number graff in 66-68 is impossible. It didn't exist. If no photos of his tag from those years exists wouldn't one tag, any tag with a name and number anywhere in NYC have survived in a photo even if by accident? It's not like either of these guys are fighting over a winning lottery ticket. Wayne deserves to own his legacy and sell his work . His very existence depends on it. 5 people emailed me about Luis's video since I interview Wayne at the end. I am just trying to distance myself from any connection to Luis's claim.

OF147 Posted September 29, 2010 Share Posted September 29, 2010 OK I will tell you guys a true story right here right now. Luis is the fake StayHigh 149! Back in the days when there was no photography internet etc. this guy went somewhere and seen a real "Stay High 149" tag downtown. He figgured hey I'm gonna go to my block and "become" Stay High! So he did a few tags pieces around his way mimicking the real Stay High. Luis quit after a year or so and went on with his life. The real Stay High disappears for 20 years or so, since he's missing Luis once again resurfaces this time not for fame but with the intention of making money from the canvas scene and being a real "ol school king". He moved to Orlando during the real estate boom (got paid some good money from selling his house). In Orlando he wasn't doing anything so he decided hey what the heck! I'm gonna be a famous guy out here and get paid $$$$. So he opened a graff shop playing off his fame. It was then that the "Real Stay High 149" resurfaced again. He panicked worrying about what he was gonna do so he concocted the bullshit story he was telling everyone that he was the original etc. Long story this Idiot and Imbecile of a human being got busted, real writers kind of knew the truth but wasn't so sure, but eventually due to the appearance of the real Stay High 149 his game was up. His store in Orlando went belly up and he went broke. Lost everything and went back to Puerto Rico to live with his parents. This guy is a disgrace to the graff game. I don't even know how he can show his face. p.s. I know this prick personally and this is a true story. Homie think people in Puerto Rico are stupid too! He running that same story over there and trying to open another graff shop. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MICO Posted September 9, 2011 Share Posted September 9, 2011 I started Writin' in Erasmus Hall High School, Brooklyn, NY. in 1970. When my friends and I decided to go All City in 1971, Stay High "149" was probably the most prolific Writer of the day, and I recall meeting Wayne at the Writers Bench at the 149th St. subway station in the Bronx. The SH 149 I met that day, and the SH 149 / "VOICE OF THE GHETTO" that everyone knew was Wayne. The SH 149 that I went hittin' with at the Kingston Avenue layup in Brooklyn, was Wayne. Nuff said.
