Vanity Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 rackin has nothing to do w/ it... i dont see how people can talk shit about it though. i dont see why kids that rack try to boost their egos more, we're already getting free paint.

Jucerock Posted January 28, 2002 Author Share Posted January 28, 2002 get some balls Alright, first of all how did graff start? Ny, did they pay for paint, no. Whens the last time you read an article about Cope2 going to home depot to buy paint? My point is, graffiti started that way, and the pioneers wouldnt want it any different. Ive been writin graff for almost five years, not saying that Im oldschool, just pointing out the fact that all the money you guys are spending on cans, im savin'. Especially when you battle other writers and you're constantly goin over each others shit, by rackin your paint youre already winning the batttle. Because youre not spending your hard earned money on B.S. So, now you understand my point of view. Go buy your paint and get your ass kicked.

Go buy your paint and get your ass kicked. when you talk about cope 2 and other old school guys stealing why do you thikn that is hmm maybe cause alot of them grew up in neighbehoods that you wouldent walk through in daylight and were also prolly tight for cash on basicly trying to get food and a house let alone some fucking paint unlike 70% of writters today who are littel faggoty white kids that get 50 bux to go to the mall from mommy and went and buy paint when you do somthing you dont have to becase there are people that have to for a reason it just makes you more of a dork than you already are Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zodiot Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 Getting up in the morning... Racking makes me a theif, painting makes me a vandal and a trespasser. All in all, I am a crimainal. What are you? Does getting free ups make them more worthwhile? More enjoyable? They're all ups in the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 455 Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I usually don't rack paint-at all....why.I don't know...sometimes I do and sometimes I don't...but there is no reason to talk shit about people who "buy" their paint...because with that kind of attitude--even if they did buy their shit--give them a little time and they will have more "ups" than you in your own city...never underestimate.

SCOTCH WHISKEO Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 A real Writer WRITES...whatever it takes. The need to rack is born of neccesity, not a desire to be "authentic". If you wanna do three whole cars this weekend and you have $ 4.73, you may need to rack to realize your goal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
microsoft_golf Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 thats the only reason i rack cause right now i dont have a job and no oney hence the racking i HAVE to...but i dont feel it makes me more REAL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_b0b Posted January 28, 2002 Share Posted January 28, 2002 I'm nearly 30 and have a job and a mortgage and a wife etcetc. Getting caught racking something that I could easily afforded would just be too much grief. Why go through all that stress and grief, when it would cost less than the money I'd spend on drugs over the weekend? Oh wait, real drug users don't buy their drugs, they rack them..

lo5.iTwilD Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 News flash How do you figure that a real writer racks paint, thats only your opinion. many writers buy and rack, the way i look at it , a real writer does his thing, gets his ups, has heart to go out and bombs shit and stays true to the game..

old_soul Posted January 29, 2002 Share Posted January 29, 2002 You get fame from bombing hard & having skills, not if you can rack or not. When people talk about writers like saber, ja or any other top writers I never hear them say "He racks paint every day" I hear them say "He gets up everywhere" or "He did the largest piece ever...shit was tight!"
