Chino is easily one of the most well spoken graffiti writers. A lot of old heads just repeat the same old stories, but Chino always has something insighful and intersting to say. Smart dude.
Damn, this just brought me back to my youth, bombing the Coney Island little and big yard. So many memories, these kids today don’t know what life is. A lot of stores lost revenue from that era, we ALL were racking up on cans of paint every damn day and the excitement was unreal.
I started painting after seeing Style Wars in 1985, still do a shit ton of pieces. Thanks LEE, SEEN, DONDI, DUSTER, MIN, QUIK, ZEPHYR, REVOLT, CRASH, KEL1, IZTHEWIZ, SACH, CAINE, SKEME, CASE2, PHASE2, TKID, DEZ and all the guys before that like KING2, VINNY, FUZZ, PNUT etc etc. So glad I got caught up this
I have so much respect for Lee 163,and have admired his beautifull works of art all my life,his passion and pure raw heartfelt emotion that has always featured in his paintings,he was there,he knows how dangerous those days were,the streets and what they were like,he created history and his name will live on for an eternity,much love and respect always!.❤
Always remember when DEAL told me about hanging and piecing with LEE and how he helped him with the lion on the mural he did on the handball court in the Lower East Side. DEAL said he signed it and LEE came the next day and covered it....
Hahahaha, choosing who to go over....awesome, I had that same thing going on during the good times on the subway in Amsterdam. Cannot imagine going over Case2 though. Or any other NYC oldskooler
@@jonbase6004 i remember that place. Never went in and didn't know about Lee until I saw him at Henry Chalfants studio and then later once he was somewhat famous he had some muscle cars he was into
This guy Lee lost point for me once I heard he would go back to whole cars and blockbusters that him and his so called friends did together and would cover up the other peoples names that helped him do it
I was 6 in 1984 when I discovered graffiti, breakdancing, dj... Blew my mind. I'm 43.. And it still blows me away!!!!

A time when LEE was selling mini bikes at the pet shop. Lol...
