So interesting to see an entire culture born within a lifetime. The evolution of graffiti, dance, rap, djing, fashion is pretty incredible. All the elements of hip hop have evolved so much in 30+ years. Same with Skateboarding which also started at the same time.
You can still meet these old sprayed wagons on the road from Ostia to Rome in Italy. Italians used to use them years ago. Now wagons are collected on old car barn between Tor Di Valle and EUR Magliana trains stations. Soon I will lunched some video from there. Check on gogole earth
Risking it all for a tag on a train. What an amazing experience it must have been. God bless all of the lost souls who tagged NYC during the 1970s. My favorite artist was CLIFF! I was able to track down some artists still alive today and asked them what happened to him. Only one replied. He died of AIDs during the 1980s epidemic. RIP Cliff.
Before gentrification, commercialisation, all the other isms AND the internet. Out of the chaos and with cops chasing them, these kids produced this amazing artform. We will never see anytning like this again, ever. Thnx for the upload.
Blade and Cliff were undoubtedly kings of style and ups, but to me Ale One kind of started what became the standardized letter styles of the 80s even up to now.
A lot of them are dead now unfortunately. By the 80s-90s quite a number died for various reasons (drugs, aids, gang violence, cancer) there are still quite a few still left though but they'd be well into their 60s by now.
A time where people did things. No social media, no youtube, none of that crap. It was bad times, but people look ways to explore and just live. Now like today, people are depressed, political correctness Bullshit. Crime up, people committing suicides, and killing over dumb Shit

Thanks for uploading this, really cool to see.
@@akerockstar Yeah I'm enjoying it. I subscribed cos I love the 80s and 90s stuff you have as well.
Cliff was one of many: Fine99, Vinny. I don't know if they were 3YB but they owned the subways back then.
Vinny was 3yb I think F99 was also.

Love to know where these kids are today
Well, this was over forty years ago so for one thing they are long past being kids.
A lot of them are dead now unfortunately. By the 80s-90s quite a number died for various reasons (drugs, aids, gang violence, cancer) there are still quite a few still left though but they'd be well into their 60s by now.
Эх, я бы сейчас хотел бы такую же атмосферу
Да, жаль Клифф от СПИДа загнулся
