It does continue the evolution of graff........ but way too many people still do not recognize there influences and the past. Selective memory seems to be a disease caused by too much aerosol...
MORE ACTUAL FULL TRIBUTE BURNERS DEDICATED TO MENTORS,
AND EARLY INFLUENCES WOULD BE NICE TO SEE
HELL, EVEN JUST THE OCCASIONAL SHOUT OUT IS OVERLOOKED.

Like I told my last wife, I says, "Honey, I never drive faster than I can see. Besides that, it's all in the reflexes."
Why Fab 5 Freddy deserves his check before Sever gets his
By Shoe CIA.
Any graffiti writer that didn’t bomb trains in New York during the 70′s and 80′s should shut the fuck up. Period.
Everybody in the culture knows this.
I realize it’s somewhat of a paradox whilst writing this, but when I read this lame attack on graffiti icon Fab 5 Freddy by Revok I was too tempted to break this unwritten law.
In New York, in the the 80′s, there was graffiti and there was hip hop culture. They were one. Futura was hanging out with The Clash, Keith Haring was designing record sleeves for Malcolm McLaren and Blondie sang “Fab Five Freddie told me everybody’s fly, DJ’s spinning I said my, my. Flash is fast, Flash is cool. Francois sais pas, Flashe no deux. Nobody knew what that meant (still don’t) but it did made the world spin faster. Dondi did the video for Buffalo Gals and the rest is history.
About ten years later, kids in Germany and Califonia got the message (partly) and started to do their ‘awesome’ letter styles.
Catch my drift? That airbrushy-fantasy nonsense is going nowhere. When Bando and I where concentrating on the basics of letters and rocking silvers all across Europe, these soon-to-be graffiti fascists were still in diapers.
So, let it be known that when kings like Futura and Lee decide to do a show with Fab Five Freddy you have only one thing to do.
Bow down.

ps.
That suggestion of bitten letters has no foundation whatsoever.

"Bump grimey ass seaside where I wasted my youth. Bump my uncle Tommy who's worked on the boardwalk for 25 years. Bump degenerates and bump being able to count on seeing a fight at any given time. Bump 3 brothers from Italy, and bump the fuck out of pregnant 12 year olds smoking cigarettes on the boardwalk and bump being spit on from the skylift. Damn, I miss a good old fashion white trash Seaside vacation filled with filth."
