Fukijama Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 if you think back to that time though .. alot of throwups were far from simple that was at a time where there were more detailed or "wildstyle" like throwups poppin( pen, shine, mesoe, wayz, spek ) not everyone is gonna have a " simple " throwup and not everyone is going to find them to their liking. i'm sure when Minus made his throwup he wasnt worried about the 12 oz opinion. you shout out to writers like seen cope cecs lions hert etc. who keep it clean and simple but can flip dope straights and wildstyles. and on the other side of the coin shout to spek(rip) wayz eno pen shine nobs miz zest etc. most of those guys were basically setting the standard back when i was getting into this around 99. some not all so dont attack me. but that btc movement made kids flip crazy shit on the streets all the time. ie. ozbe ykae yers etc. i got respect for both these ideas and i got some flicks from my early days where i tried to get real crazy with the styles. but my dude lect 718 told me once. no matter how many styles you flip youll always go back to the simplest one. and it took me years to learn what he was really saying.

rope_a_dope Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 if u want my honest opinion on your throwup here goes: on a wall of throws yours doesnt make me look at it. i just kinda gloss over it and keep the eyes scanning. it completely blends in with all the other toy bullshit around it so i have never stopped to even try and figure out what it said until i got bored today and read through a lot of comments on this thread. zero pop factor. pen's throwups were complete trash...he did stomper straight letters in high pro spots and thats what got him noticed. look at someone like trap, if you scan a wall with 10 throwups you always notice his. the other comment i will make is that your throws and tags look "drawn" not caught, like you had to think about what lines go where instead of it just rolling off your hand. what i mean by "caught' is there is an obvious flow to them that even makes them fun to do. the state your name video has some good examples , i dont even need to call out who but u can feel when a writer catches a tag as opposed to drawing one, and the same thing as a throwup. a VFR throwup is caught for example.

Deeetect Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 "it takes years to get handstyles, takes years to learn history, takes years to earn your stripes man." that's what this city is missing... all this talk about style is pointless when what matters is the time you spend with a pen/paper. end of story Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
