Two thousand and seven.

This post is dedicated to all those who just dont like a bunch of rap music. Two of my favorite bands from Philly in recent years, despite what some people know about my association to any of these memebers. I really think they deserve note, not only because of their energy, but because they do what real hardcore bands are supposed to do. Or in Horrow Show's case did. First Horror Show, Songs are See you soon and Stuck again. Next and more recently, Blacklisted www.myspace.com/blacklisted , song Tourist. Not into it? Get into it.

Style Master Series: Part 2 of 2

I dont know what I'm doing up so late. But I've been thinking. Thinking about what makes a good writer a good artist, because sometimes they're few and far between. Here in NorDel we have a few and two come to mind right away. Easy and Pervert. I wonder how anybody could be as good and consistently as innovative as them. So I decided I need to get inside their minds. Whats a better way to find out what's on their brain other than their love and hates. So this is not the traditional, whats your name, whats your crew...But it serves just as well. Heres the Style Master Series... first of uhh, I really dont know. Enjoy - The Glamorous Lifer.

Part 2 of 2 Pervert FH

What do you love?

I love the feeling of accomplishment. Like I am doing more than what I need to do to get by, and improving on myself and what I do with every passing day. I love progress, and development, and moving forward. That’s what drives me, in everything I do. So many people just pay the bills, and have nothing to show for the time they waste every day. I love that I am nothing like that. I don’t love cans of spray paint or cds, I love productivity.

What do you hate?

I hate people that try to better their position by attempting to bring down others instead of improving themselves. Trying to push others below them instead of rising above, spending time minding the business of others when they can’t even handle their own shit. I think they could be described as "haters." I hate the hater. I’m not saying there’s a problem with knowing your position, but know your shit accurately, and act accordingly. Earn the right to act like a king by kinging it, cause you aint going to fool anybody just acting the part.

Part 1 of 2 Easy B2B



What do you love?

I love writing alone. I love good color schemes. I think they’re almost equally as important to a piece as the letter structure. I love trains, I think about them 24/7. Everything about them, from color schemes, to types of cars, to benching, just everything about them. I honestly think I’d be completely bored with graffiti aside from freights.
Regina Spektor I love her! All kinds of art, it can be interpreted into inspiration for my writing, pop art especially. I flip through art history books and websites all the time. Eating sushi makes you a better graffiti writer, I think all the kids need to know that.





What do you hate?

I hate alot of the things I love. I question why I do things all the time, especially graffiti.
Sometimes I think it’s completely stupid that I get so excited about freight trains and writing my name on them, but I convince myself that it doesn’t matter because it’s what I like. I hate TV. You won’t catch me watching it. I just don’t like it. Anytime I sit down to watch TV I feel like I’ve completely wasted my time, so I stopped. Plus being homeless for a while and not having one got me used to not watching it so now I just don’t. I’m pretty content being back to not having a cellphone. I think some people try to ride coat tails and some get more credit than they deserve for the little amount of work they do and to me that’s corny. I don’t really agree with it, I wouldn’t say I’m mad at them for it. I just feel like a lot of kids who "write" around here aren’t really "writers" if that makes any sense. I don’t think it should be a surprise hearing someone painted something new, its not a once-a-month deal if your into it. I don’t know if it’s a lack of motivation in kids around here or what. Maybe its just a lack of kids actually down for writing. It’s just not something i see much around here. That’s how me and Myne got hooked up. He was just down for writing plus driving around seeing bad graffiti is annoying to me. I hate all those stupid fancy caps that kids think they need to do good graffiti. I love NY thins, you don’t need anything else. Oh and I hate the bar. Doesn’t matter how many trains you do it still sucks.



Easy Rocking out.

The Life Expectancy of a Tagger

is very short from what I hear. One good run for two years will get you by. Better yet if you write for one year, go hard and make a post on the internet of all your stuff, you'll be up 10x harder. But honestly when you consider "Life Expectancy" you have to consider all the factors that go into it, like high blood pressure, working conditions, maybe diseases that run in your family. So in this case, we'll look at family pressure, school/work pressure, age and the ever popular raid on your belongings! So as writers cycle in and cycle out. How do we know whos who and whats what anymore. Some writers like to drop reminders here and there that their 15 minutes of fame isnt up, others like to tell stories about their's. I prefer the ones who do the first of the two. But who am I to pull cards. I can't say short lived, because the life expectancy varies on these two.

I wish Big Punisher was still alive so Fat Joe didn't suck so bad. This was taken off of myspace, not the original beat, but whoever did the beat absolutely held it down. Pay attention if you want do a remix, do it proper.

War Waged on Graffiti!!! Extra Extra!!!

Oh wait this is nothing new. Military minds agree we are in a new generation of warfare that is different from the line and column, machinegun and artillery, tanks and aircraft or terrorism. This is a warfare of ideologies. In order to be successful you have to directly attack the minds of the enemies.

Enough chat. Old video. One of my favorites on youtube right now.
