RIP Tame 1. I used to bump this before I went out tagging and bombing.

Good thing you stopped.

Graffiti is art. Not all vandalism is graffiti.

To be fair, the graffiti they do in your country is kinda weird.

I personally love when cities embrace graffiti and street art, like Berlin and Melbourne. It makes the city a living and breathing piece of art that’s always changing

These are all from my Melbourne trip in ‘18

…and graffiti is 100% art. Any medium that captures one’s thought, emotions or expression is art. Food, fashion, painting, writing…it’s all art

I think what OP is referring to is stuff like this:

makes you hit the face.

Anyone remember the 5 points in Queens?

Yeah I cant speak in absolutes,but most of its garbage. And speaking of it in such high regards is nonsense,simply because it was an important aspect of hiphop. Breakdancing is also garbage to me,but thats moreso a generational thing. I can at least acknowledge the talent there,as opposed to most grafitti.

Interestingly enough, the late Bernie Mac has on airbrushed graffiti style pants in that appearance.

The Mighty Shirt Kings made that style famous.

Depends.

Did an idiot do it randomly or did someone take time to make something dope.

I agree that the majority of people writing their name or whatever are no artists.
