now a days graffitti is like a regular weekend its not as packed in the street. back in 95 it was probably the last year it was really jumpin i got arrested for some bullshit. right when i walked in the holding cell there were a gang of baldheaded nortenos including myself. all i did was chop it up with the homies there was no funk with others. hella folks in there from the bay.
95 WAS THE YEAR I WAS OUT THERE....AND TO CLEAR IT UP..WHEN I SAID FOOLS WAS SET TRIPPIN...WE HAD A RUN IN WITH SOME NORTE FOOLS FROM MODESTO AT THE MALL...THEY WAS LIKE COME TO THE MO AND SEE WHAT'S UP...GRAFFITTI NIGHTS WAS THE NEXT WEEKEND...SO WE WENT OUT THERE READY FOR IT...BUT OTHER THEN THAT..THE ONLY OTHER CRUISE NIGHTS THAT GET OFF THE HOOK LIKE THAT IS SAN JO ON CINCO DE MAYO...SO MANY PEOPLE THE COPS JUST KIND OF STAND AROUND AND HOPE NOTHIN HAPPENS....
