dont make tributes to fuckin hip-hop in your peices if you know nothing about hip-hop and name a bunch of rap artists. just because rap evolved from hip-hop does not mean it is the same thing and that rappers should in anyway be considered hip-hop artists. learn where the fuck your music came from before you pretend like you know anything about the hip-hop culture. how much you wanna bet half the kids on here dont even know the four elements that make up the hiph-hop culture. and if you dont know and you read this...quit graffiti and life. you will make it no where in both of those aspects.
DON'T TAG IN YOUR SCHOOL! You'll get fuckin caught. Trust me, it's not worth getting your name up in school -__-
the same could be said for the punk scene, they both sort of evolved at the same time, even though hip-hop gave graff its biggest boost and props to this thread...
also when your doing a sketch keep the letters in exactly the same style, thatsd what i used to do wrong and it looks fucking digusting
dont paint in straight letters ie same as you write on paper. Think of the "style" used when someone writes "toy" like that. no still just paint on a wall... Atleast try a style, even if you suck your trying. dont paint "open" areas, if your a toy stick to out of the way unseen places (alleys, under bridges etc)
noo u shundnt try style b4 uv got can controle down,start simple then develope style not the other way round^^^^^^66
to me graffiti is one of those things where people cant really tell you what to do... because its not like anyone has special permission.... i get what you mean but like im not going to only sketch and not paint... or only paint chill spots. sometimes i love that good sketchy feeling deep down when im painting in a bait spot.
i think im stuck on a visual vibe. i stress on my etches cuz they dont look a certain way, or should i say the traditional way, thats wak isnt it?
Dont start beef with people for no fucking reason. As a matter of fact dont start beef at all. Never call another writer a toy unless your willing to throw down. Dont ever go into a thread and not read what the tread is about and make an ass of yourself, trying to look hard. It aint worth it. And finally, post pics of your gonna talk shit on someone elses work. Walk the walk, talk the talk. More walk less talk. ^^^^ All things atesk didnt know before this post. Clockwork And if you know what your talking about, This list of 4 elements, name them big shot? I really dont care, but I wanna see if you know what the fuck you just typed? If not then you just made a toy mistake. Talking about shit you dont know about.
i'll admit that i only know three . . but yeah, e-beef is stupid unless you're willin' to back your stuff up. note i never said any names. i just agree in general.
I just read about them and the only one that I really care about is Graff. And thats it. No more no less. I care about graff. Why the hell do I care about mcing? WTF? LOL. And DJING? I do listen to a certain degree of Hip hop but not enough to know all of them from the time I was concieved. I had to google it.
*shakes head* ... clockwork, why do you make me sad like this? Consider this.... You say you only care about graff. BUT HOW MUCH do you care about graff? Cuzz the four elemants are so vital to eachother as a culture and history. If you love one element, you should love the elements, culture and history, not just it's after effects. I'm not saying you have to know the history of the scratch or how to uprock (although I do), but don't be negative about the other 3 elements baby! They made graff what it is today. I practice non traditional forms of graffiti, and I still have a very healthy respect and appreciation for traditional graff and the 4 elements. I own turntables, and I can teach you how to pop and lock. I don't MC, but I make an effort to search out the good MC's that remain from the spoils that "rap" produces.... In conclusion, you don't have to love or live the elements, but you better respect 'em. :wub:
Seeing as this is the things not to do thread im going to say the most important thing, DONT BE SCARED.
dont get stoned and climb some shit to paint without figuring out how your going to get down, cuz you might have to land in a dumpster to break your fall due to your stupidity. ~true story

But that doesnt mean that I dont care about the other 3 elements. I like oldskool alot and I own deathrow records shirts and Tupac tour shirts from when I was really little. I had two of them. I care about them just not as much as I adore and admire some really good writers and artists. ICHabod (Trains) and Seen are two I really like. I love art in general. So I guess thats why? (Ich is a great simple tick toc guy. And tons of skulls.) I didnt say I didnt respect them cause I do. Definitly into rap though before painting. So I understand. You always have to shoot me down mang. <_< Tip: Dont wear a bandana in public during the daylight hours unless completey necessary. Cause it will look very suspicious. But DO when necessary. (Night)
as a toy never think your good or getting better. you'll get shotdown. never have crew beef. don't be in a crew with all toys. because beef really doesn't work out then. never talk about things like you know what your saying. best thing to do is DON'T TALK! i learned the hard way.
