Lyric wise? Yes. Beat wise? Not even close.

What about those tagger crews in LA? I heard them cats are just like bangers, except they rep just turfs and tag over peoples shit...but they carry straps and really go to war over graf art. Is that true?
Youve done over 50,000 hours of gang research and you still dont know this?

For shame, Officer Gringostein.

personally i dont like most of the east coast graffiti... i wouldnt just cross someone out because they were from the east though. only time i cross someone out is because i have a legitimate problem with them.

defy, not really. the west coast isnt tripping as much as new york trips.

California is sort of a free-for-all. Youre welcome to move to california and become part of the scene, which alot of people do.

New York basically only wants new york writers writing. if you rep your state in a tag there, its crossed out. they think anything that dosent look like new yorks shit is ugly.

a few people from the west coast, make it big in NYC...like twist...or giant..

^ twist

^ giant


but for the most part its like how hip hop is...they like theyre own shit and want to be closeminded...those on that street level and not the art level are on that beef shit.
giant TDK?

back when i was doing sketches, giant was a TREMENDOUS influence on me

saber was the shit too.

JA was a bitch for doing that shit. His dad is was some big name movie director or producer someshit like that. He's also in Karate Kid part 3 but i'm not sure who he is in the movie. He's a failed actor turned graff bitch.
