@@HeadNtheClouds nah homey... if you know anything about Graffiti, we've been callin it "fame" for a long time my gee... clout is whole different thing
A university should conduct a study on these taggers and how effective they would be in the advertising/marketing world. Apparently its done to claim areas but also for other taggers and people to see
To those saying this is not real art, Graffiti is one of the 5 elements of hip hop! Long live Graffiti and the 5 elements, know your history! Teach your kids! This is beautifully dope 🎨
Next story on the news will be when bums start occupying that building and end up burning it down like they did to the 10 fwy 😂 and the politicians and media will insist it wasn’t homeless
These were condos, not offices. The developer who was behind this project was a Chinese property developer who went bankrupt, so now it's going through a lengthy legal battle of how lenders who loaned and invested money into this are getting their money back. This is going to take a very long time.
Los Angeles is such a beautiful city. All of tthr drugged out people on the streets, homeless encampments, graffiti everywhere, its just gorgeous. Seems smart to put a big fancy building in LA without proper security.
They should've never built these big buildings there between Flower and Figueroa. Those lots were fine as parking lots for the Staples Center. These buildings are an eyesore. When I used to take the Blue Line to work every morning, we would get a good view of the Staples Center 🏀
What do these names mean? Are they the names of individuals? Definitely not the first time I’ve seen Tonek before. Also, where did Orex get his name from? 🧐🤔
Los Angeles & surrounding, what a great place to live, particularly for those who enjoy carjacking/ car chases regularly, plenty of graffiti, homeless issues and no real law & order, and high taxes & cost of living, oh yeah it has great weather too.
Not sure if it's a similar crew but back in the early 90s in the San Fernando Valley STP was a known tagging crew. But as kids we knew it as Setting The Pace. Set The Pace could be a contraction to fit the building space or could be the latest generation from the same crew or a similar outfit using that name now. This is not anything new in Los Angeles. It actually goes in cycles there's an explosion of graffiti by active groups then they get older or move on, popularity diminishes and goes underground for a few years but eventually resurfaces. The difference now is the rapid exposure that's available to post something online and reach massive audiences.
This should have NEVER BEEN broadcasted! KTLA is advertising for these so called "taggers". They're so many unknowns crossing the borders which makes this a bit scary. I sure hope that there are some FBI officials who aren't corrupt and hopefully finding out what this means & who did this. Not OK to advertise for the taggers.
No we ain't. Just those little fans of theirs. We hate destruction of property. You don't see these taggers tagging up their own house lol@@robowop9354
Let them tag the entire place and then it will turn in to a giant public street art , and let Meow Wolf decorate the interior. #tourestindustry #meowwolf
Thank Gason for not doing your job. This is why we need law and order. You have not done any part of your job you say thing are safer wake up fool they are not
27 floors!!! They put in work.
And they'll do it again for sure, especially with all the publicity they be getting😂😂
I like how they all chose that reflective silver for maximum viewing potential!🤣
He told his Mamma that he was gonna make it big in LA 😂😂😂
Overtime
Well done!❤ 🎨
Love how they say a single tagger. No, this was a crew! Must be a slow night for the news.
The effort is crazy I thought freeway graffiti was crazy but damm this beats crazy
How long it take them? Noone noticed?
2-5 minutes
lol camera man understood the assignment 😅 got the whole line up with the zoom in😂
Can't have nothing in L.A that isn't tagged on smh
Bro u use to graffiti now u pointing the finger
alas, this is why we cant have nice things
Next is the helicopter 😮
Can't be mad at this the effort is unreal
they are just hallways lol
also these two towers are directly across the street from crypto arena. you couldn't find a better location. this is actually legendary. or a PR stunt.
Hell yeah, KTLA gave all the homies some extra fame...
I think it’s called Clout 😂
@@HeadNtheClouds nah homey... if you know anything about Graffiti, we've been callin it "fame" for a long time my gee... clout is whole different thing
WTF is "clout" or "fame". We the professional ones over here call it EXPOSURE
@@108mtsan all three terms could apply and fit here...but within the graff culture....it's been "fame", that's been the term my gee.
@@100yearsofwealth oh,, ok 👌
Thanks for giving the tagger publicity. Now he's famous.
U mean they its not a single person lol
This is considered "respect" for the tagging crew communitites 🎉🎉🎉😂
They should educate themselves on what vandalism is.
No it isn't.
A university should conduct a study on these taggers and how effective they would be in the advertising/marketing world. Apparently its done to claim areas but also for other taggers and people to see
You can rest assured there are advanced studies of tagging cultures in some ivy league colleges.
I'm going to look into those studies, thank you for sharing@@maestrovso
That was done long ago and has been implemented for quite some time. Think of billboards and buses/bus stops.
Its not about "claiming areas" its about GETTING UP!
i would say a lot of people who did graffiti has great marketing skills lol
Aliens making crop circles seem more believable, than a single person doing that in no time with nobody noticing.
This was several people
@@Volksoner619 Still, nobody noticed anything.
😂
SINKOE definitely had the Dopest spot! His was the only one you could read on the “Zoom out”

I think twas more than one "tagger"🤔
If the building is dormant, stuff it full of hobos!
We used to call them bums and no one thought anything of it.
Next story on the news will be when bums start occupying that building and end up burning it down like they did to the 10 fwy 😂 and the politicians and media will insist it wasn’t homeless
A dormant high rise AKA a property they wanted to use as an office but the market is oversaturated, couldn't build apartments because of NIMBY.
No. Condos.
These were condos, not offices. The developer who was behind this project was a Chinese property developer who went bankrupt, so now it's going through a lengthy legal battle of how lenders who loaned and invested money into this are getting their money back. This is going to take a very long time.

Lol you don't live in LA, do you?
Rest In Peace Kilem 🙏 Forever The Kingdom
People that tag other peoples property are just trash.
That’s the work of multiple taggers not one tagger!
I saw people in the building at 1:34 and 3:14
Ayo, maaad props & respect!
You covering this story is huge for him lol
The league of shadows did this That’s why nobody notice
how on earth did someone manage that ?
Scaffolding that's in the video?
With the help.of California’s communist Newsome administration.
Likely an entire “crew”
Street Artist. The DA has a prize for best Street Art.

Tonek gets around, seen his art under a San Diego bridge

Same crew just the newer generation
How SWAY!😂 You would think they get paid with the amount of effort put into the tagging
Ayyyyy they got down!!! shout out from the las Vegas graff scene 🎉🎉
They got down downtown
The taggers probably having a party watching this video 😂
There still more room
Thats what happes when they take forever to open the building😂
That’s a roll call
Imagine thinking tagging is cool in 2024 Yikes 😬
It’s cooler now than ever lol. Imagine thinking it will ever go away 😂. Sorry to tell you there will always be humans marking things.
Cuz you’re a mark 😂
HATERS GONNA HATE PAINTERS GONNA PAINT

bruh...that's fuggin epic! I recognize a lot of these names from the 710 frwy. Hope it stays up til' the weekend so i can go see it myself.
😂😂😂 recognizing names from the freeway. I never even try to read graffiti.
Whats the point of this tagging?

Sinkoe has my respect
Thanks for giving these guys attention..
Now it's going to happen everywhere...
Those idiots will brag about it on social media 😂😂
There tryna keep up with the miami building
Easy to figure out who done this. Just go to the tagging community, find their handles. In Japan, there is about less than 1% graffiti anywhere.
In Japan weed cost 50$ a gram
The people are with the artists 🎨
@@robowop9354 Art does not destroy property.
They don't prosecute stealing or drugs, you think they are going to prosecute tagging?
No we ain't. Just those little fans of theirs. We hate destruction of property. You don't see these taggers tagging up their own house lol@@robowop9354
Jenkoe One 😎
KTLA hooking it up
We're not discussing enough that NO ONE WAS SEEN before they were done because how is this man floors possible
I see sinkoe everywhere in LA.
Why do they keep referring to them as “artists”? They are TAGGERS.
He sniffed a couple of lines and went off to work 🎉
they got Steven Hawkins running this damn camera
This isn't even a single crew, it's a whole community of them, organized, people coming from out of town just for this event.
Sinkoe de Mayo
That security company didnt do their JOB right 😅😅 letting taggers set up a one of a kind murals
The ultimate spot
That was 3:45 min of FAME for free!!!😂😂😂
The American Empire is FALLING... FAST! Imagine in 20 years at this pace?

😬 alot of these dudes blast there names and tags on there social media
Careful ☝️
Respect.
I see my grandma and grandpa are still putting in work
That's like marc ecko's getting up on the PS2 ... Awesome video game!
City needs to fine the building owner for graffiti. Code enforcement needs to get on top of this immediately.
🤡 keep crying!
Like they think 1 person did all that lmao
More Iike TaggerS, different tagger went on a different floor, this was likely planned

That some getting up! On the NEWS
Police cars, freeways, trains, sky high buildings.... the only thing missing to complete the list IS THE WHITEHOUSE! 🎨🎨🎨
