Graffiti High Rise - (Shots Fired) At Graffiti Artists?
Вставка
- Опубліковано 17 лип 2024
- In LA graffiti artists have been tagging, and rocking pieces on a few unfinished high-rises and today we get a first hand account from one of those graffiti artists. Dark recorded a youtube video and was kind enough to provide me with some photos of the work his crew did. Ontop of dark and his friend being at the buildings, countless graffiti artists have entered the buildings and painted the inside and outside of these skyscrapers with beautiful graffiti that can be seen from afar. The Grammy Awards are set to take place near these towers, and officials stated while they'd like to have the graffiti cleared before then, it simply isn't possible.

Hey thx for sharing my vid 🙏💯. Also abt the gun shots, no one was hurt thankfully.
Could have been the police. I saw they had a bunch of rubber shotguns out I wouldn’t be surprised if they took potshots at some writers coming out and everyone mistook it for gunfire
@@PlutoTheGoddefinitely wasn’t iseen it play out right in front of me and more people too
thanks for the coverage man
underrated opinion i think beef should be kept on the wall…. thanks for sharing that i agree brother. great video
It usually turns into hand-to-hand combat
i love your content bro
It's always a good time to stop the violence in HipHop.
This is honestly a great reason to watch the Grammy's 😂
The spot is Hot 🔥 there's no point at this time to hit it but if you get it that would be a miracle.. but if you do again Mad Rep!
Hello brother big hello from Perth Western Australia
Sydney
I know my boy from the thumbnail
Active man 💪🏼
can you consider making a very limited run of a physical copy of your book?
i think you'll be glad to know, we're working on a nonlimited publishing of physical copies. Its been a bit rough because im deciding if id want to self publish, or go through a publisher. and if i go through a publisher, so far the contracts arent convincing enough to get me to sign. once the publishing method gets resolved then physical books will be on their way
awesome man
Be very careful painting in L.A if you aren't from here.
L.A has a ton of active neighborhoods that don't take kindly to people catching spots, L.A.P.D is no joke and we have always had tag banger culture.
Miami changed the game 💣
Let's go
e-book content is bomb if you really want to learn the art of graffiti.
wow
4:30 this is the most important part of the video because people think graffiti is some type of stand alone art movement that arose out of "hiphop" (another subculture the masses tend to not overstand) but it's actually heavily based within gang shit. At least where I'm from - and I'm a white chick from seattle! Not a likely origin for such things, but here we are.
I can't speak on the scene in KC or New Orleans, but throughout the West coast, the origins of graffiti are closely tied to gangs and their communications. i was banging by age 13. Most people (normies, lol) don't think that graffiti is that serious, but the whole reason that we started writing graffiti was to represent our hood. That led to us kids and the OGs among us representing our crew, aka our gang. We were down there on the blocks hustling everyday, robbing people, boosting, pushing d, doing the most to come up back in the day.
Safe to say the original Gs of the crew grew past that, but the youngsters are still out there putting footwork and doing dirt trying to prove themselves and make a name for themselves in the streets. I cannot tell you how many people I know from the scene who have died from overdoses or else getting killed in the streets one way or another. RIP especially to my little brothers Take and Kerse.
Competence on the wall is irrelevant to me. As somebody who is disabled (autistic with chronic nerve pain) and don't give two shits really about a handstyle, I don't care if somebody burns me. I'm 43 years old. But if somebody want to go over me they can still get checked face-to-face, if not hand to hand by me. Just because somebody might be Doper than me or have better abilities with a can then I do does it mean that they get more respect than me and it doesn't mean that they're going to be able to disrespect me in any shape form or fashion. If anything, I might give em a high five and say that's dope. The career mentorship and personal insight, along with knowledge and wisdom that I can provide for these kids is worth more than any type of handstyles that I can pass down.
Artistic skill doesn't impress me, artistic expression, general passion, and dedication to culture (via culture jamming) impresses me. I'd rather put a kid into the crew who's tag their name a thousand times within a four block radius than a kid who's spent hours working on a single piece. What's that going to do for promotion? Do you think that more people are going to remember the name of the individual who created that one piece, then those who'd see that same name posted a thousand times on their way to work?
That being said, just because some one is better than me with a can doesn't mean that I'm going to let them go over me and win some sort of ego trip.
I also don't believe that graffiti should be done legally to prevent this type of thing because there's a lot of legal cats that will still get caught up but if you want to write illegally you have to know the ins and the outs. If you're really with the shit, do it. If not, don't be a graffiti artist. Be a legal artist.
To any of you new writers I recommend you watch more of this guy's videos before hitting walls and being a toy
lol that's not how it works homie. We didn't have UA-cam when I was growing up. You get out there and you learn from a mentor
Are they going to do is watch some UA-cam videos of things that they're Slicker the most without knowledge of the streets, kids are looking to get either strung out, become a runner, or both.
@@Pugetwitch everyone learns different bud and unfortunately a lot of these egotistical writers don't wanna be a mentor so that's why it's good that people like Grim are here to help them.
@@Pugetwitch I hope that one day you can learn to be as optimistic as I am when it comes to the facts that everyone is different and that not everyone learns the same way and doesn't need to.
I wonder hoe many taxayer dollars are bring spent on protecting thia abandoned building. Helicopter fuel is very expensive ive heard. Land of the free
When I first started tagging. I remember a dog got loose from it's yard. It found me two blocks away doing a throw up. It was a pomeranian, but that dog set up such a fuss , that my lookout, grabbed the dog . While I finished and we both booked it to my lookout's apartment.
Side note: we returned the dog to the owner the next day. Eventually that dog gave up on its beef with me.
But, yeah graff beefs can escalate fast, be careful, never go over or cross out gang graff and watch your six out there.
Shout out OBER
Anyone else see the video on tiktok where dude had the helicopter on him 😂😂
Damn when i read "shots fired" i thought somebody was called out, not literal gunshots.. Not saying there's no beef in other countries' scenes, but US gun culture puts these beefs on a whole different level compared to what's happening in most (if not all) European countries for example. Y'all be careful out there.
LCE FUA we stay with the heaters...if we see the enemy's..they alredy know
Bro your better then the text on your thumbnail last thing the community needs is people thinking they need to run around strapped with more then paint and for that you lost my sub
Notice not once did I suggest anyone use or resort to violence of any kind, notice I said beef should STAY ON WALLS. Obviously someone should defend themselves but baring those extreams I never once even illuded that people need to "run around strapped with more than paint". If you think warning people that graffiti is dangerous and telling people to stay safe is a bad thing then you lost my respect. I'll keep my integrity over a sub any day of the week. Perhaps you misjudged, didn't watch the full vid, or didn't understand fully, and if any of those are the case then no problem dude, no hard feelings, but if you stand by what you said then I stand by what I said.
Wow man this is wack thanks for the update
love from Australia
