New Yorkers & Graffiti Heads, They Done Killed 5 Pointz!

[Mr. Jack Napier]

Queens’ graffiti mecca is no more.

The extensive aerosol art on 5 Pointz — an internationally renowned taggers paradise — was quietly painted white late Monday night.

The hub of urban art is set to be razed to make way for two apartment buildings. The plan was approved by the city Council earlier this year.

They could have given people a date they were going to do this so they could get some last pics. That was just dirty.

L.I.C is now a Millionaires spot now, shyt is not wavy with those folks.

When I used to take the 7 as a Kid, always used to look at the tagged up buildings ... Wondering how they tagged up buildings like that.

This reminds me of Beat Street when Spit fukked up Ramon's hard work.

Seems like a waste of paint if they're demolishing it...

It wasn't really their building to begin with

You wanna be an artist? Use your own shyt for it
