GKAE SKREW MSK: Living Proof Radio. Ep.159

- Опубліковано 5 вер 2024
- GKAE SKREW MSK is an internationally acclaimed graffiti writer whose name is synonymous with the title of ‘king’ from New York to Los Angeles. Getting down in MSK during the summer of 1992 when the crew was still an offshoot of AWR, GKAE approached graffiti with relentless will-power matched by few. He explains his reason for painting was to rid himself of depression, to impose against the status quo that property is more valuable than life, to achieve a primal feeling of self-worth. Over a period of 30 years he came to represent the legendary MSK crew, face time in LA county prison over vandalism charges; experiencing loss & gain whilst creating a legacy that inspires writers world-wide.

The fact that he went all city in LA with no car is wild! Great interview
homie looks cold lol
He looks dope sick. If he were cold like that he would've zipped his jacket up at least.
@@meiphukingdiqqthis foo
@@meiphukingdiqq idk about all dat
Gotta get that iron in his blood up
Go warm him up next time
I remember when I was on a greyhound in the middle of the Utah desert. On a bridge in the middle of nowhere there was a SKREW SACER . Big up to this guy he crushes it
Met him when Norm tatted my back. Mad cool guy
30+ years is a long time to be involved in anything, especially graff. Props on your longevity, Gkae! It was cool to hear him talk about his past, present and future. Also towards the end he hinted on the spirit of MSK, that was awesome. My friends and I used to paint in the Motor Yard in W. LA in 2001, and Gkae still had a fresh spot on the East part of the yard, a Gkae - Fate he did in red. It was up top, giving it visibility from the 10 freeway. Also I found some old rollers he did in the LA river downtown. Glad to see him doing well in 2024. Peace.
I grew up in agora in Thousand Oaks. I was just a couple years Younger than them.
If saber gank brace havok fate siva chunk owl zips are reading this thanks for giving me a passion of seeing all the tags and pieces and having the balls to do what you guys did.
the leaves falling in the background is so beautiful. great video.
gkae is shivering the entire time.
He looks dope sick.
@@meiphukingdiqqcould have something to do with the fact they chose to do the interview in a cold graveyard 😂
Also he's sitting on a cold ass stone throne sitting in the shade sipping a ice coffee ha
@@loadbarone @crabapples1995 Wearing a skimpy ass hoody? He's been in Philly for almost two decades. He has an actual jacket and a winter coat if it were actually that cold. Yall have no idea how rampant the dope fiend epidemic is in Philly, and especially with writers. I know dope sick when I see it. I'm sure he's doing that to himself for the sole purpose of the interview so's to be coherent and not be nodding off and shit.
@@crabapples1995 What I said to the loadbarone guy.
It’s wild that he didn’t even touch on some of the other major cities he went all city in. Dude was one of the most up people in my northern Midwest city.
His straight letter throw ups are the epitome of clean. This guy deserves all the props.
what city?
@@brandonholmes1144 Detroit. He really came through and did his thing. And I’m not just talking about just casually coming through and catching a few tags downtown. Believe it or not, area wise it’s one of the largest cities in the US and even so I still come across stuff he did almost 20 years ago.
It wasn’t until a few years later that other MSK AWR guys came through again and did the same. Seeing them do full pieces on the side of a main road in the city was crazy. They’re really just on a completely different tier. Incredible.
would love to see an interview with JA, probably highly unlikely but you never know.
Yes there are no interviews with ja I can find
JA comes from a rich ass family
He's more the kind of person who interviews others, not the one who gets interviewed.
@@f.g.9466 haha
Dope interview... GK is a true west coast legend. Peace from Canoga Park...
Was in Tokyo and saw GKAE slap. Made me happy to see it around the world
WELL.... YOUR AUDIENCE IN THE BACKGROUND WAS MIGHTY LIVELY.💀💀💀💀💀💀💀. GKAE 💣👑💪
shoutout SIMON
Great Interview ! Wonder where the interview was at ! Either way, it’s really cool to hear and see how Gkae expresses on how he is thankful for choosing his own path no matter the circumstances or doubts against him. People are always afraid to go against what people expect of them. There aren’t many people who take actions like this anymore, and it’s really motivating to see how straight forward he answers his questions! I’m glad to learn that he continues to succeed, doing what ever he wants, and is also being a strong inspiration to many people ! Cheers to him and all of his family and friends!!
The reason i consider him a boss is he was one of the first to go nationwide. Adek. Kids. Jesse. Nekst. Puzl.
Mq yovoy malvo evikt adze..all those names and yours for me
literally said naaa no way when i seen this pop up in my feed. been waiting for a skrew msk episode
Few know what’s up with this cat, he was one of my inspirations growing up crushing shit as a young buck lol
I remember being a young kid early 2000s going through Riverside and seeing the trains with GKAE rollers.
More Gkae More MSK LA All Day
One of the original American graffiti kings
I remenber when GANK was bombing all around my area in the valley around 93'. After a rainy night there would be a ton of clean hollow throw ups under every freeway underpass. My favorite was the spot on the Taco Bell rooftop on Ventura and Reseda
Looks and sounds like Steve Carrell 😂 great interview
Watercolor to spray paint, its so relaxing to lay it down and watch that mark appear instantly.
Greta interview. Could hear him speak for hours. He probably has stories for days. Absolute legend
Always was and still is one of my favorite writers. I thought he lived in Seattle for a minute?
he did but not for long
I live outside of Seattle and there’s been a gkae hand style on a trestle I’ve passed by since I was a kid. Before I wrote. Wonder when it went up.
When he crushed the west coast in the 90’s
It was in 96, and was a trip to see back then!
Wow hes really all the way honest 😮 refreshing
Dang Gkae is being open about being Skrew? And the real name of Gkae is public knowledge because of media coverage from his arrest. I guess writers are pretty much just 100% out these days with absolutely no worries about law enforcement. People may regret that if the legal climate around the practice ever changes.
You scared go to church
Yeah, shit is wild. No face, no case...no more?!
Theyre still collecting for their database so in the future when they hit you it's gonna be a lot of accumulated property damage
I get that same exact reoccurring dream. Jail is So traumatizing
Owning a winter jacket is important, sad to see homie out here looking cold in a hoodie.
Pass him a blanket 😢
Fucking factoria bridge up in WA IS STILL SHINING 500 ft old train bridge has my jaw dropping every time I drive by it big straight letter
All those people that put in the most work are going threw something that they don’t want to talk about but there expressing it on the wall
💯
thats a chilly looking graveyard
I love a Gank interview. Always dropping knowledge.
You guys should have sat in the sun 🌞 the homie was cold 🥶 , great interview thoe . This dude used to kill frwy’s .
GKAE is a legend
catching tags at 10 is crazy
That's Gen-X. It was actually weird to be over 18 and still writing graffiti back in the day.
Not crazy at all, lots of writers started at that age worldwide.
Wanted to throw him a blanket, making me cold too 🥶🥶🥶
you need to bring him back on again sometime
There is a gkae in every city in America that looks and talks like him lol
Top 3 interview for this podcast, pay attention you might learn something.
Great interview..living legend 👊🔥
Someone get this man a blanket
Love the intro
Never judge a book by it's cover-this little dude is tough as nails the trials and tribulations He's been through
Legend.
🔥🔥🔥

Skept tempt originals
He rockin wallabees, he keeps it thorough. God bless graffiti
LA graff legend !! MSK AWR true killers and skills 1990s tagbanggers era .

For real
Debatable
Legend 🔥

HELL YEAH!

Why are they in a cemetery and my boy is cold.
EKLIPS 💚
❤
A kings King.
Gking 👑
Surprised he's cool with y'all putting SKREW in this title too.
When people say king he's the dude you compare to
JA is 👑 of Graff world.
Ha is god of graffiti @@user-vx9ny6mg6i
Bros freezing
If you started painting in the last 15 years you have no fucking clue. Only one person deserves today's modern greedfiti cash grab and it's this man. Not Twist, not Tie, not Nekst, not JA, not IRAK. GK is the pure graffiti archetype, period. First to crush the country. Don't fool yourself, everyone since (except maybe Grey?) has been sweating his fame.
Brrrrrrrrrrrrr
Hernandez Susan Gonzalez Jason Robinson Linda
BOSS
Audios mad quiet
Dope.
I feel like all these dudes doing interviews and showing their faces are ending their careers...
Do an interview, paint some last gasp shit and, step off in to the ether.
FUCKIN LEGEND
Like your style homey! Stay out of the politics and just enjoy Philly like a grown up! Met I2I
Bro you guys should of went to a coffee shop you guys look freezing lol

🇺🇸
Hands down in the mid to late 90s “GKAE” was the most up with the cleanest letters …
He killed Ny too.
Did a lot of damage early 2000’s
skuf had him pissing himself every time he stepped on broadway
Bruh had the most prolific to ever to it and chose to talk about prison the whole time SMH. Get someone else to do the interviews
Member when he was in wayside busted😉🤙
Rumor is. Shotgun takes out msk.
Because it's true. Peace.
Kid interviewing obviously wasn't around in the 90s many of us were around ..shout out my boy gk
