Kanedigital Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 it's like this... I may not be what any of you consider a real writer... but picture this if you will... in my opinion a real writer is a person that will stop at nothing to paint... if you got paint... paint... if you can buy it and don't wanna steal... then buy it... then paint... if you don't have any money but wanna paint... steal or borrow... in this business paint is legal tender... I give my boys paint for gas money... whatever... anyway... if you have legal trouble and you STILL paint... you're a "real writer"... if you're on House Arrest and you get a night job so you can skip work and paint... you're a "real writer"... if you buy a forty and the motherfucker FREEZES IN YOUR HAND while you're painting... It's cold as fuck out...:) and you're a "real writer"... if you can take a knife to the throat or a gun to the head and be robbed of everything you have... except one can of paint... and you make that shit LAST.... then in my opinion you're a fuckin "real writer"... Being a real writer or Keeping It Real or whatever has nothing to do with what kind of paint you use... how you get it... what kind of music you listen to or any of that shit... it's all about dedication... in short... if you can stay in the game long enough to hear a person's opinion change from, "don't talk to me you fuckin TOY!" to "I like that shit you did on that last train..." or "yo, when you wanna hook some shit up?" then congratulations... you're a "real writer"... that's my book... a year ago a girl I know said she would NEVER fuck me... her panties are hanging from my ceiling fan... stick to it...:king: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jah Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 uhhh.... some folks dont think stealing is cool. just cuz they dont rack doesnt mean theyre afraid to. u cant call someone fake cuz they have a higher standard of morals than u. have u had anything stolen from u than was important to u? it sux. and ive stolen shit that was important to other people and caused hella drama that couldve been avoided easily. stealing is childish and wrong. u can call me a toy for not rackin but when u grow up (if u ever do) ull realize that u were ignorant for thinkin otherwise. i say earn something if u want it, otherwise ur just a punk. if u cant achieve ur goals honestly ur not a ,man; Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smart Posted January 30, 2002 Share Posted January 30, 2002 a 'real' writer wouldn't risk his/her writing career over some petty shoplifting beef if he/she didn't HAVE to... i.e. if you can afford it and you still steal it then you're just as big a poser...

KRYLON KILLA Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 Re: get some balls Originally posted by Jucerock 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'. dont forget to check your attitude at the door before you write your name on someone else's property for the first time. pain is not love!

THE DEVIL! Posted February 4, 2002 Share Posted February 4, 2002 REAL writers steal ALL their paint. You see, they need to save all of their money so that they can order ART CRIMES t-shirts, OBEY sneakers, KRYLON hats, and GIANT'S new SKULLS PRESS release. Because then, when they show up at PAINT LOUIS (Oh yeah, you need to save money for the gas to get you there too!) people will know that they are REAL, and down for the "Struggle". I hate, therefore I am. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cholo Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 racking cans well ya'll can rack all ya'll want like someone else said, all it does is make you a theif, for real though I don't wanna get caught doing something stupid like racking cans, I just ain't about to go out like that. if I get caught for anything it's gonna be doing a piece.

Esai Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 I think its pretty toy to judge someone by whether they rack or not. Fuck that shit, I got a petty theft on record and brown skin, I dont need no F over some bullshit.I know a lot of fools who dont rack for the same reason I dont, its all about getting your hustle on,shit i aint rich Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seeking Posted February 5, 2002 Share Posted February 5, 2002 the other day i needed oil really bad for my car, shit was starting to knock. i didnt have any cash on me, so i racked the oil i needed. does that make me more of a 'real' car driver?

SpunkyTheKat Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 hrm... Lets see, getting arested for racking the cans? or...bombing a highway... I personally would rather be arested for bombing a highway, rather then getting caught stealing a can of paint that is $2.37 at your local Walmart. -spunkZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bodice_ripper Posted February 24, 2002 Share Posted February 24, 2002 FUCK THAT! Oh no, fate has fixed it so I can't be a real writer. See there are but TWO places you can get decent paint on this shitty little isle, both are about 5 foot square, not alot of scope for racking furthermore, the place you COULD concievably rack from is a TINY car supply store, who just saw an open market and started ordering Propline and Montana. I don't think they'll keep that up for long if it ain't profitable.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HHLL Posted March 18, 2008 Share Posted March 18, 2008 If you don't rack your shit, you're paying to destroy shit. I don't know, just doesn't add up. Plus when I walk past those fuckin censors and into that wind with 5 cans of Krylon in my jacket that I just racked from Wal-Mart, I feel fucking great. So yeah, rack your shit.
