Join us as we pay tribute to STAY HIGH 149, the legendary graffiti writer whose legacy still inspires artists worldwide. Born on October 20, 1950, Wayne Roberts made an indelible mark on graffiti art. In 1971, he took the nickname "STAY HIGH" due to his love for cannabis, adding "149" to it. In 1972, he fused a stick figure from "The Saint" TV show with his tag, adding a joint to create a signa...

    I remember Terror 161 stole my uniwide on the 1 train he had made believe he had threw it down the elevated tracks, and another writer said to give it back which he did. He was much taller than me not that it makes a difference that's just petty, and were just kids. I'm much buffer, wiser and older, and did some time up north. My brother Spec1 who's one of the orginal writers from Birth of Graffiti and The faith of Graffiti. Seen wasn't on those books but claimed he started in 1973 "My tag was Hace 1". I hung out with my boy Fats front cover of the book Birth of Graffitti Book, TMB'S CJ and his brother Weo, Fay⁎ , Star 3 , StayHigh 149, Dean BYB, and Zebra 139. I was king of the "7" line. I, also could barely reach the cars, so I stepped on the railroad tie we had to jump the fence and crossed a lake on Shea Stadium. No one had hit dem lines before they were all clean it was me, and Sin 3! I, also frequented the ghost yard on 207th street we had to climb through an opening of the tracks in the dead of winter. I went as well to the yard on 137street and did some throw ups with Race158 who I was classmates with at JHS52 in Dyckman we would use the spray caps from the oven cleaner. We'd often watched the trains go by on 168 street and often saw seggy tags on the platforms number1 line👍

    Bro is right. Graff always got marketed as a part of Hip Hop here in Europe. "The 4 Elements" (writing, b-boying, rapping and turntablism), as they call it. And you always had to repeat and respect this as being true, or nobody would take you serious or consider you as being "real". Absolutely ridiculous to me. One love from Germany.

    This is about my fourth time watching this video and I think it's great. There was also rider's benches in queens. There was one a continental Avenue and 1 at Parsons boulevard on the E. NF line there was also another one at Atlantic Avenue which I thank. IR t's and IND's ran through that. Pretty sure. I got jumped at the Atlantic Avenue station got rip for my marker and came out with a black eye . Iam laffing right now... good times. I did go To the 5 lay up at Dyer Avenue. But for me coming from queens. That was like an all day trip, babe and going to an unknown way up in the da. Time was an adventure. I think I did like 2 or 3 pieces than ran out of paint and had to travel back to queens.
