JA: A True NYC King

~creAtor~: 29th Apr 2004 - 20:11 GMT

JAONE... word the fuck up!! shit, that first shot is crazy big ups on the west side hiway, i think... i remember that shit! oh damn, seein this shit takes me back. i think i got some shots to post of his shit too. damn, now i gotta go read up on him on the net.

Peter: 29th Apr 2004 - 20:43 GMT

yep, the one and only. that shot is ca. 1995 or so on the west side highway, nyc- good call. i used to drive past that wall every single morning of my life from 1995-99. I watched it go from tagged up to hit up to totally rocked with the craziest burners youve ever seen.

once, when my mom was here visiting, we stopped the car on the highway, got out, climbed the fence and made crazy flicks of that wall (not to mention some nice closeups of the crackling paint and the underlayers of wild shit).

unfortunately, in the spring of 1999, they buffed that wall end to end with a 25 foot swath of gray matte paint. its never been the same. occasionally, there are a few ups, but mostly tags. its never been hit so hard since, and probably never will be.

for a few years, that wall was the place to be, and Ja was always there, on repeat, above the flux...

dyepolarism: 3rd Dec 2004 - 20:47 GMT

i love ther story behind the wall how he and jd went out paint w/ a ladder. got busted. hauled in. and went back later that night w/ another ladder i guess to finish.

commenter: 1st May 2005 - 07:09 GMT

ja and jd destroyed that wall. why does it say rip? ja is not dead. in fact making a major comeback.

shado: 1st May 2005 - 07:16 GMT

hay was up homie we shoud hit up in portland sometime. we shoud smoke some weed and go spary.

JA=ALL TIME GRAffiti king: 1st Jun 2005 - 18:19 GMT

ja is the king of new york,,i love it he is a beast..

cdskills: 14th Oct 2005 - 01:15 GMT

JA is alive and still killing shit. What the fuck you saying RIP for?

Peter: 14th Oct 2005 - 13:41 GMT

hahaha. then why dont you post some of his new shit then?

John Avildsen: 20th Oct 2005 - 05:50 GMT

did you know i was in the karate kid? i was one of the dudes in the skeleton suits...

AD.: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:13 GMT

WORD, AND KARATE KID 2 OR 3 TOO. CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH BUT I SAW YOU. WENT BOMBING WITH YOU ONCE BACK IN THE ACID WRITERS DAYS. AND WORD, WHY ARE THEY SAYING RIP FOR YOU? WAS THERE A RUMOR? STILL SEEING NEW SHIT (I THINK) - OLD 91ST ST STATION ETC...

Peter: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:29 GMT

thats what i heard, you know? its like, if everyone is seeing new shit and im not, then somebody please show me some! thats all im saying. i love ja's shit. thats some of the first graf i really dug when i moved to nyc in '95. id roll up the west side highway and see that old wall of fame and see ja get up every which way all over it. that first flick up there.

now, someone get their camphone charged up and show me some new ja shit so i can seeee the liiiight.

AD.: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:49 GMT

HEARD WHERE? HE'S BEEN HITTING WINDOWS LATELY ON THE 1 WITH A GESSO MOP. IF I TAKE A PIC WITH MY PHONE AND POST IT, WILL YOU BE A BELIEVER? ALSO, HE JUST POSTED RIGHT BEFORE ME ON THIS VERY DATE. IS THAT EVIDENCE ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Peter: 21st Oct 2005 - 00:23 GMT

damn straight ill believe! i want to believe, in case you didnt get that. show me that shit, man... it would totally make my day, by the way. if you cant figure out how to post it, email em to editors@citynoise.org and theyll post em here for ya.

ja, if youre out there, say hi and tell me where i can see your shit. ive been missing it. esp the billboards on the west side. and chinatown. your shit just started disappearing one day, then i never saw it come back.

but then again, maybe i was lookin in all the wrong places.

Editor:: 21st Oct 2005 - 00:24 GMT

if you show us some new ja shit, ill make sure this entry is edited to show ja is alive and well, and how much anyone that ever sleeps on his shit sucks.

AD.: 21st Oct 2005 - 01:36 GMT

OKAY, I'LL SNAP A PIC NEXT TIME I SEE. BUT I ALSO POINT OUT AGAIN, THAT HE HIMSELF - JA - POSTED RIGHT BEFORE ME IF YOU LOOK. I KNOW THAT ANYONE CAN IMPERSONATE PEOPLE ONLINE, BUT READ THE POST; IGNORING ALL OF THE POSTS ABOUT HIM AND JUST SAYING SOME SHIT ABOUT BEING IN THE KARATE KID IS EXACTLY SOMETHING HE WOULD DO. AND ITS TRUE. HIS DAD PRODUCED THAT MOVIE AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS INCLUDING ROCKY... JOHN, SORRY FOR BLOWING UP YOUR SPOT - BUT THIS GUY THINKS YOUR DEAD UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. TALK ABOUT BAD LUCK.

Peter: 21st Oct 2005 - 03:07 GMT

i love ja. im just jonezing for some flix, or some tips on where i can see em. you misunderstood if you think that i got anything but love for ja's shit. i can be convinced. i just cant be troubled to get out and chase flix i have no idea even exist. save me the trouble. show me some new ja shit and ill fucking be on top of the world.

you share some flix and youll be the king of fucking citynoise...

KON: 4th Nov 2005 - 20:19 GMT

JA is surely back up and running....just take a look at the west side highway 178th street exit....JA along with OJAE, and TEO merked that real quick....
ps. what you really need to check is the cross bronx....I just recently heard about it...i will check it out myself tonight

KRAM 2: 10th Nov 2005 - 06:12 GMT

JA IS A MOTHAFUCKING' BEAST!
it's almost as if though he's following me.. when i lived in jersey city... i one day saw a JA tag on telephone company box on kennedy blvd... and now i live in greenpoint and just recently saw a silver krink tag on light switch box on the corner of driggs and leonard.
HIS SHIT JUST KEEPS ON RUNNIN'!

mel: 10th Nov 2005 - 07:35 GMT

Peter: 10th Jan 2006 - 03:14 GMT

which line? cause i ride 4 trains a day and never see his shit.

dubster: 14th Jan 2006 - 18:28 GMT

JA didnt get stabbed for goin over da sabre piece.He went over the saber piece cos MSK stabbed him.JA has been through hella shit.I know loads bout him even I know his stuff and i live in england.

NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 06:46 GMT

Yeah, We never met man, but you and me? we have a little history. It was 1989 and you came to LA. You dissed pretty much every burner that wasn't WCA or BC. That included 2 or 3 of mine. On one I had my girls initial in a little heart next to the piece - it was a 'j' yeah, you changed it to a JA.

I laughed then and I still laugh. You killed like 3 miles of wall flanking the 405 during that trip and regardless of you dissing my shit for no particular reason, you really did some damage, I gotta give you that. Pulled that shotgun on Danny Boy too while dissing that Rise/KSN piece on melrose. That was a busy vacation for you.

So, really you've been dissing my crew since the late 80's. Stabbed? Maybe that beef is squashed maybe not, I dont know anything about about it. But it started in 88 or 89 and you started it. Just wanted to clarify that shit. It's been a long time since then and I think its pretty amazing that any of us are still around - that's what really matters.

NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 20:18 GMT

One more thing about that stabbing. As far as I know those guys had beef before M was in MSK, it just spilled over. Maybe JA can shed some light on it.

Another story worth mention - Some CBS cats years back were in the LA river while they buffed his throwups over there pieces on one side of the river, they looked accross to see Him dissing their pieces on the other side of the river. hahaha.... Well, they tried to go serve him and he shot at them then fled - seems he had city keys cause he was driving a truck in the wash. Everyone assumes he got access through his dad's connection - like production permits or whatever.

FS: 18th Jan 2006 - 15:53 GMT

Why doesn’t ja just tell the full story so that the truth is known about the saber diss even cats from my part of the world mention it, did foe too catch anything for the diss? I don't understand what’s up with a staby then a diss then you want him dead sounds like he got ya agro hahahahahahahaha.

///JAYSK SPH: 27th Jan 2006 - 02:03 GMT

Peter: 20th Feb 2006 - 20:25 GMT

i discovered more JA tags, this time as etches on the brooklyn-bound q train:

This one was particularly good, as you can see hes throwing up SANE also... (rip sane smith)...

Peter: 6th Mar 2006 - 19:23 GMT

more from this past weekend... from the q train at the canal street station:

WORKER: 13th Mar 2006 - 05:25 GMT

i dont think he is dead,,if so rip...he is the all time king of grafffiti bombing no doubt...post more flicks please.

never jacked for being an ass: 15th Mar 2006 - 20:08 GMT

remember - its easy to kill shit when you got deep pockets and a team of lawyers behind you. JA might be able to scrap, he might be up as fuck, but unlike most bombers, he's really safe from legal recourse. How much damage would you do if you had the money to stay out of jail? Props to the REAL writers that are puttin it down without a rich dad to bail them out when shit hits the fan. Like GKAE put more work on the west coast then JA ever did in NY and he got 5 years for that shit. No 'Daddy's gonna call the governer bullshit' that kid did hard time.

And the fact that JA gets props for dissing that Saber piece is a joke. His 2 color throwups dont hold a candle to Sabers 7 color illegal burners. JA is proof that even a toy, over an extended period of time with no chance of really going down, can achieve king status. The guy has 2 letters in 2 colors down to a science. big deal. Just another poor excuse for a NY king. Thats why NY is slippin, cause you hold up clowns as kings.

SEEN: 15th Mar 2006 - 20:18 GMT

Thats why NYC is "slippin"? Fuck that! Noooo, why... we dont have *any* kings here in in NYC at all do we? None at all. Listen here, fool, GRAFFITI, just like HIPHOP itself, was BORN and BRED in NYC, and NYC has kept it ALL nailed down tight as fuck ever since DAY ONE. So you better show some respect, fool.

Plus....... to everyone confused about JA, he is alive, but I can't blame yall for thinking otherwise, considering that he DID drop offa the face of the earth for YEARS.

And for the record..... FUCK SABER.

JA IS THE KING...: 16th Mar 2006 - 06:34 GMT

BITCH PLEASE JA KNOCKS ALL THESE SUCKERS OUT THE BOX..THE SABER SHIT IS IN A SEWER IT TOOK HIM A YEAR ,,WHAT A JOKE JA DISSED THAT IN HALF AN HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY,,AND THAT PUSSY CRIES ABOUT IT TILL THIS DAY,,,HE SHOULD THANK JA,,IT WAS THE MOST FAME THAT BIRD EVER GOT,,HE SHOULD HANDLE HIS BIZ LIKE A MAN NOT A BITCH RUNNING SCARED GKAE DID YEARS WELL THATS BECAUSE HE IS A DUMB MOTHER FUCKER,,THE IDEA IS TO STAY OUT OF JAIL...HELLO...HE WANTS PROPS BECAUSE HE GETS BAGGED ALOT...NEXT..JA DID MAD TRAINS IN THE LATE 80s AND HAS CHANGED THE GRAFF GAME..BROUGHT IT TO A NEW LEVEL HE IS ALSO A DOWN MOTHER FUCKER YOU WOULD NEVER TALK SHIT TO HIS FACE,,,YOU WOULD RUN,,HE IS THE PREZ OF THE MOST DOWN CREW IN NYC AND IS DOWN WITH SOME TOP LA CREWS TO BOOT,,YOU TRYING TO DIS BECAUSE HIS POP GOT SOME MOVIE TYPE FAME GOOD FOR HIM BAD FOR YOU ...I BET YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR FATHER IS...YALL SHOULD JUMP OFF JAs DICK AND STEP TO THE MAN IF YOU THINK YOU GOT THAT....BECAUSE YALL LOOK LIKE HARD CORE FANS....ANY BODY SAYS JA AINT A GRAFFITI BOMBING LEGEND IS FOOLING THEY SELF...NOW PETER WHATS UP WITH SOME MORE JA FLICKS??????

high-c: 26th Apr 2006 - 18:13 GMT

theres a diffrence between being the bombing king, and just all around king of the city or whatever. bombing is a completely diffrent style of graffiti, its meant to be fast, not super technical, and above all you gotta bomb the fuck out of everything you see... thats why its called bombing, you blow shit up. its so heads get to know who you are, and give you respect because everyone everywhere in nyc has seen your shit, and seen what crazy spots you've got balls enough to hit. ja is the bombing king, straight up.

don't worry about my name: 26th Apr 2006 - 21:54 GMT

JA- YOU DEFF GOT UPZ LIKE HELL..I RESPECT YOUR DETERMINATION BUT TAKE IT DOWN..KING??? NEVER THAT..LET ME SEE ONE PIECE YOU HAVE DONE!

5. a mishmash of playstation games/lo-fi graf dvds

(LA cap and middle-finger optional...)

ondomay: 12th May 2006 - 14:11 GMT

how can you idiots say JA is king of graffiti when he can't piece??, prove me wrong but fuck.
props to bombing the shit out of everything but compared to seen, case, cope2 and heaps of other dope writers around the world... JA aint got shit, in the sense that he doesnt piece. Yeah you can go on about you getting a hard on coz you see one of his tags but fuck get over it, go out side and do some fucking panels you NYC bitches

ondomay: 12th May 2006 - 21:15 GMT

and graf is about art aswell not only getting up. if you saw ja's throwups around or a seen/cope legal wall what do you think would get a better response?

Naaah bro ja is the true kamakazi bomber, from hells gate to any other bridge such as the 7 and shit like that, but these days there are mad people gettin up and doin crazy shit! take niro as an example. every tag is above ground level. I think that ja is the greatest nyc bomber out there, but not the biggest. i see alot more SI tags than JA. I spend my weekend runnin round the city paintin walls, and i dont get shit out of it. i love graff, but to get up like ja has you gotta bomb for years upon years, and you dont give a shit bout your record, basically your a person with no job. i wouldnt like to be in JA s position, but bein all city is definately one of my dreams.... props to ja and any other real bomber out there

SICE ONE: 25th May 2006 - 22:35 GMT

NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. BUT JUST TO CLARIFY: BOMBING AND PIECING ARE 2 VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. THERE ARE SOME DOPE PIECES BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL; BOMBING IS MAINLY ABOUT TAKING SPACE. I'VE HEARD ALOT OF PEAPLE TALK MAD SHIT ABOUT HOW JA CAN'T PIECE AND YADA YADA YADA, BUT FEW HAVE DONE WHAT HE HAS DONE.PERIOD.

not really though i did have the lirr bridge and dat shit is basically what he does, but as a young writer, i still have a long way to go and shit, but i aint gonna walk around tryin to get up everywhere ja has and shit, remember ja has been writin for a few fucking long years probably bout 20 i only have been writin for probably about 2 years. i wouldnt even start, cause i dont act like he is my savior and shit, ive probably done more than anyone on this page has. fucken walked hells gate from queens and shit got roofs in bklyn and shit got some tunnels, and im below the age of 16 so really ive done alot of shit in my time, and like i said i got a long way to go, and so much more shit to learn.

DEXTone : 31st May 2006 - 03:27 GMT

all time king hands down of puttin in work is ja. he brought the game to where it is now. dont get me wrong, the are many other greats in al kinds of ways. but when it comes to high spots, back to backs, street bombing and so forth, this dude is the creator of all of that. and for your info to the dude hating on ja but riding copes dick ja can piece. its not his cake. his can control is sick so go find more web sites to hate on ja cuz i see ya wrote the same on saster.

m8rd: 6th Jun 2006 - 02:05 GMT

The dude did piece on subways. After subway pieces, I guess to him, pieces wasn't worth it. And there is a legitimate art to throwy's. They take creativity. And if you see the spots he hits. Damn. Fuck the fact that his dad is someone big. Wow. If your dad's a cop, and you get up your just as up as some dude who's dad's a drug dealer. Just because they don't run, and there aren't many flicks of 'em doesn't mean he didn't piece.

one more from the q train:

but im not dick ridin im just sayin: 14th Jun 2006 - 23:26 GMT

look JA killed and is killing shit more than any of you ever have or ever will im all over the 5 boroughs every day for work traveling around and i see shit that you internet cornballs from la uk chitown or wherever will never even know about. he bombs.thats what he does and he is sick with it. i don't need a flick to let me know. everyone already knows, if your from here. his spots are crazier and higher than most everybodys. yeah pieces are cool if you wanna take all day on some legal wall. thats not bombing though. these days trains get buffed same fuckin day they dont even run. the real way to take fame in ny these days is to bomb and thats the real, fun, raw, exciting shit anyway, but it ain't like he's new at this. it's about finding a spot,getting to the spot , and then killing it and getting over. thats what graf is to me at least. save the pieces for your boys garage wall or your fucking art class. nuff respect due JAONES XTC. on a side note im good on dudes that hit every fuckin BQE rooftop and think they are the king of ny because of it. spread it out ;)

yea ok: 22nd Jun 2006 - 22:06 GMT

Cmon ppl just because he has 2 letters and a limited color scheme doesnt mean he sucks....I write in 2 letters I did a peice(so far did one peice ,with Repay) I have multiple color schemes and I do more than bubble letters and stuff. So you cant really say anything about JA when you havent seen ALL of his stuff

Perhaps he needs to get a real job. It is all distasteful, the tagging and such. Go to design school or volunteer teaching art. Graffiti is trash.

yea ok: 12th Jul 2006 - 22:31 GMT

Keis people like you pretty much just need to ignore it ,graffiti is for other writers its for them they don't care if the fact you don't like it or the fact you can't read it or not...its just for them. And since graffiti is such trash how come REAL WRITERS (Graffiti ARTIST) get paid about 1 or 2k for a mural or something they are doing for a business? If its so much trash how come ...well can't say half MOST of the word is doing / appritiating it? And to let you know he's more than a tagger hes a street bomber. Right now All i do is mess with paint I dont mess with markers(TAG MATERIAL). ALSO you don't know much about human? What person doesnt have a REAL job, half of the graffiti writers have REAL JOBS if not how would they survive in life? Matter fact if they didnt have a job how would they get paint and other materials to sketch there art?...and what was the point of you going in a JA thread saying graffiti is trash...what you think you can stop it by saying that ? LaWlZoRz!1 just gtfo

That would be hilarious if he was Jonathan Avildsen.. That would mean he was in Karate Kid as Snake and in a Rocky movie.. I think JA is a worthless. He's added nothing more to graf then what every toy has. There's people killing it right now, doing the same shit but on a different level. The same two letters can never stand up to the burners and heavens people are doing these days. And they're getting up more than him too, and in better spots. Etching a window or taking a marker to a sign is as good as not getting up. SABER is 100x better writer and has added 1000x more to graf in general. It's not suprising that JA has fallen off though, all of NY has fallen of in the past 10 years.

welll the truth is he is a little rich fuck, but i still see style in him, and i like the way he goes and does heaven spots on bridges and shit, but the truth is hes just lucky that he lives without having to pay anything, and gettin bailed out of jail for like 5000$ oh well let him rock the city and see how well he'll be doin i the next 10 years

ReaL SFC: 10th Sep 2006 - 16:56 GMT

yo b he's been rocked nyc for years he doesnt have to do anymore graff ever, hes still a legend regardless. 5000 wouldnt cover the damage this man has done lmao, DESA was locked down for 3 years(i think) for doing millions worth in bombing... and JA has way more shit than him still.

does anybody remember the manhattan bridge columns JA destroyed in the late 80s? I figured there must have been scaffolds or something there, cause they look pretty scary and hard to get on (I have never tried to get to them, and wont haha) since seeing that I was convinced JA is nuts.

pjgunagun@cox.net: 18th Sep 2006 - 03:06 GMT

ja one is most likely the king of all city throw ups,but revok saber is definitly the king of pieces.his hard
work of creativity stands out great in la as much as ja one throwups stand out in nyc,but if your a real graf writer both guys deserve a lot of respect becouse if someone went over your piece or throw up you would be pissed of too.
ps,enjoy bombing the system as much as possible,because the city now days paints over everything right away.

well: 26th Oct 2006 - 13:59 GMT

yeah he has had mad support ($$$) as far as staying out of jail and getting paint no doubt, but im sure he racked a whole bunch also_and he supposedly did a stint b4.

Graff lover Nab: 17th Nov 2006 - 23:37 GMT

Man,first bombing and piecing are two different things,but you need both to become a true king, a real well rounded graff writer Ja just has the bombing aspect just about any one can kill any city with a two letter, two color throwies example jase I love jase I'am from B-more and he's an inspiration he has at least 3 cars on every fright line that runs trough an american city he's written on 40,000 of 2million cars no one can ever compare and not only does he bomb frieghts he does whole car pieces on them and frieghts are huge, plus he's up in SanFran with pieces and throw ups.ja can never compare to people like him and saber. Now I respect ja for his bombing ability I'am not going to take that from him, but thats all, as far as iam concerned ja is a bitch made nigga that has no respect, a daddy with too much money, and no artistic vision. Ja is a TOY. He can never compare to graffiti artist that have nothing and risk every thing including their lives to lose,all for their art, people with no other outlets, and if it wern't for graffiti they'ed probaly be on americas most wanted for shooting down disrespectful fools like ja. Saber the living legend no writer can compare, I dont even want to begin too explain saber it'd take too long, all I can say is do your Homework. Y'all fools in NYC need to open your eyes up to the rest of the world. What graffiti artist can you name that paints pieces the size of football fields with bucket paint in the open, in L.A. gangland with police helicoter flying over and amtrak police patroling on foot for a who year. I'am waiting for an answer, I don't care what beef ja had with what ever member of Msk but you don't Cap something like that,something that size that illegal, it has to be a work of God. Shit IF you really love graff Saber is the closet thing we ever had to god he's A prophet. JA's a pussy for that one the biggest graffiti publicity stunt ever.

How can they risk everything if they have nothing?

Climbing the manhattan bridge and bombing it isnt risking anything?

South of the GW maybe around 140th or so? Purple if I recall. Also noticed some things on the N/R in the tunnels around City Hall that seem to be recent. Guess he’s still out there doing his thing, keeping a low profile.

Greatest bomber ever = biggest loser ever: 21st Dec 2006 - 00:54 GMT

Without question JA has bombed more shit than anyone ever. He's the Michael Jordan of graffiti. But graffiti is a sad and pathetic vocation.

This is a person who had the resources (maybe not the intelligence) to do anything he wanted to with his life. And what did he choose to do? Smoke crack and angel dust, and WRITE ON WALLS! Don't you realize how pathetic that is? He could have gone to Ivy League schools for undergrad and graduate school, and then worked on Wall Street, or chosen to dedicate his life to a good cause, but instead he decided to scrawl two letters over and over again on walls in ghetto neighborhoods. It's kind of sad, really... And now he's a 40-year old man rollerblading around the Upper West Side and doing the same shit

JA: 22nd Dec 2006 - 15:11 GMT

Love the graff: 13th Jan 2007 - 19:07 GMT

Ja is a bomber thats it, until he pieces more I think a lot of people will never accept him as a true writer...and also yea JA went over SABER...but big deal SABER went back and fixed most of it up...so props to both JA and SABER...

JA IS KING FUCK ALL HATERS: 15th Jan 2007 - 12:59 GMT

man most of y'all on here are just bitin the lines that saber and JA say on the videos that are in.
i respect saber as a writer for doin something and many things as crazy as hes done but the main point is JA still gonna get up there and diss it in 5 mins no matter where it is, what it is and how big it is and he proved that by travelling across the country to diss the LA river piece. it takes a life time to make the kind of name that JA has and he has given the better part of his life doing what it is we all obviously love so much to be on this forum. So stop hatin and realise that you can talk shit on him all you want but hes still not gonna give a fuck, still gonna get the fame, and still be a million times more up then you. respect to NYC, respect to JA

Ja is a god of graffiti. All hands down. He is in the elite of Graff legends/underground legends. Ja is known to ppl everywhere, in every city block of Now Why Cee. Regardless of who got beef with him or who are allies with him. People can not deny Ja of his rank as Furor of Grafiti bombing. LES, to The Desert To Shaolin and further. He will never stop. And we will vouch for him and still support him, no matter who he is up against next. Because of his beefs, other people caught fame. They need to be throwing they wallets at Ja.

by the way. how is he still bombing when everyone knows who he is?

split: 21st Dec 2007 - 09:25 GMT

why ya on his stuff for graffiti is art stop saying its vandalisam cus its not its a way to take out ower felings but not in a bad way your thinking that becuse we get up in hight places and hit up on trans its not art but it is its ower way of doing things just like you like saying stupid stuff about graffiti we like doing stuff on walls and other things

EvilGentleman: 21st Dec 2007 - 11:25 GMT

The art/vandalism debate will go on forever, because both sides are correct.

Many graffiti pieces are unquestionably artistic masterpieces. I have seen many pieces that are absolutely mind-boggling, provoke intelligent thought and debate, and are just a joy to look at. Alongside (or sometimes, covering over) that are the amateurish scrawls of schoolchildren with spray paint. Some tags are just a mess, and others have serious artistic value of their own.

I know if I tried to do it, it would be a mess, since I just do not have the required talent.

Therefore, while not all graffiti can be said to be art, much of it clearly is, and to say otherwise is to disregard and disrespect the work of many extremely talented underground artists, as well as a few rare professionals.

Due to its nature, graffiti is often painted on public or private property without permission from the owners of the relevant structures. If it has been painted without permission, it is legally known as vandalism, no matter how well done it may be.

In many cases, graffiti can actually beautify a wall that has been neglected by its owner, or bring much-needed life to a dead space such as the soulless bland concrete overpasses, or the support piers for highways, both of which pollute the urban landscape all too often.

But this does not change the legality of the art, or rather, the lack thereof.

Some property owners, and once in a while, even a local government, will notice the artistic value of the graffiti and will ask some of the more conventionally talented artists to do a mural piece, or sometimes will just let it be known that graffiti is welcome in certain locations.

On rare occasions, a property owner may decide they like a piece that was illegally painted on their property, and will take steps to preserve it. But these are the exception, not the rule.

Purists will tell you that true graffiti must be done illegally, since that is where the roots of the art form lie, and to do otherwise is just the mere commercialization of an art form that belongs to the streets.

I personally support the idea of allowing graf on highway structures, excluding the face of road signs, but I also feel that private homes should be free of unwanted graffiti.

I also think that one of these days, a train company will see the wisdom in giving rust-proofing paint to graffiti artists, and tell them to leave the identfying numbers and logos on rail cars alone, but to go ahead and paint the rest of it. They would get free paint jobs, and the artists would get to display their art on rolling stock.

Graffiti is artistic vandalism, and it comes from the soul.

i heard that JA got his throat slit today because he had beef....HE IS ALIVE THOUGH FUCK THOSE FUCKERS THAT SLIT HIS THROAT!

yoyo: 14th Jan 2008 - 22:57 GMT

hes still bombing i saw this jaone tag on 86 st phonebooths this past weekend.. (i tagged it 2 weeks ago got buffed came back this past weekend saw his shit which was faded and i saw some new tags in the n/q/r/w tunnel cuz i havent noticed it until today and he tagged over some other guys fillins.

XXXXXXXXXXX: 15th Jan 2008 - 23:24 GMT

I don't really understand what happened with the whole Saber/River dis, or why the all city king of NYC would do that, the reasoning behind it, or what. I guess there are too many rumors to know the truth on that one although some people know what really happened. I guess it really doesn't matter it the by and large as Saber, and JA are amazing in what they have done in the graf scene on a planetary scale.

Nobody on this board except for SEEN (assuming that was really seen that posted above) can every come close to either one of them.

As far as JA being a spoiled son of a rich famous father, and trying to dis him for that or say he isn't a real writer for that, man fuck that and here is why: money or no money, spoiled or not, fucking regardless JA still takes the same risks, period. His father's money can't stop a bullet, a fall from a high spot, a fist, a bat, a cop chase, a speeding car. Just because he has that resource doesn't mean that he didn't bomb the holy living fuck out of NYC many times over. He did it the same way any other writer would of had to do it, only he did it, more, crazier, and harder that the rest. You cant change that, JA is the epitome of what we all wish we could be, the only difference is he actually has the resources to do so, and get this, he did!!!! Who here wouldn't like to be the all city bombing king of NYC, and be in movies, and not have to go to work, and just focus on how you were going to destroy NYC year in, and year out? His father's money didn't levitate him up to all those insane spots he bombed, no, he physically had to climb up there, he risked his life to earn his fame, he spent his time to earn his fame, he took his risks, he took whatever crazy shit happened to him to earn his fame.

Believe me, having lots of money alone cant make you the all city king of NYC.

Think about it.

BUSER" Loko: 20th Jan 2008 - 00:41 GMT

i ain't gonna lie ja is up as fuck..and i can say that he is one of the downest writers in "NYC".And JA and seen,cope 2, and t-kid....they can all be considered the "NYC" kings. But they will never dominate L.A. think about it. look at seen..ok koo burner..nice colors..koo letters...

now take a look at Revok MSK AWR....

sick letters...sick colors..its just over all better...

now look at JA...

koo bomb

look at Saber AWR MSK...

sick letters,sick colors..

And To Clarify a little bit on this beef Of The L.A. River burner...."if" Ja did get stabbed he should have rolled over the saber bomb..but he didn't he did little bitch tags and throwi'es...and and also those who said it took a year to do that burner on the la river it didn't only took about a month..especially being that that burner was huge as fuck...and if ja was down he should have went back and fucked it up again..
Do You know why i say "again"..Because SABER went back and painted it over again!the whole thing..now that is down.and he didn't do it with his daddy's permission. he said fuck the pigs and did it again..IN THE END lOS ANGELES IS WAY SICKER

WEST COAST IS THE BEST COAST!!
ALWAY'S RANKING WITH THE BEST!!
SO FUCK THE REST!!

Haters, keep hating. Get up like JA ONE and then we'll talk. Til then, fuck all y'all. This man is a TRUE NEW YORK GRAFFITI LEGEND.

AK: 26th Jan 2008 - 11:20 GMT

All you muppets need to let the Saber diss roll over..
And to compare MSK graffiti to the street destruction of
JA is not valid. They are both major players in the graff
game, but have a completley different style/mentality.
Each to their own. I respect both for their individual
efforts, but love JA for his appetite for chaos

cracksack anderson: 29th Jan 2008 - 05:59 GMT

dude above me just about sums it all up. feelin that homie.

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:36 GMT

Recently, finally, writers are finding out exactly who JA is. Already known widely throughout the graffiti community, Jonathan Avildsen has already been “tagged” Mr. Parascandola. Better luck with “tagging” other writers next time. Nice read though, by the way.

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:38 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Avildsen heehe... fucking vandals !! !

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:48 GMT

JA himself is no stranger to Hollywood, with a handful of minor roles on television and in films, including “The Karate Kid Part III” and “Rocky V,” both directed by his dad. In “Rocky V,” JA plays a drug addict - a case, police sources say, of art imitating life, as drugs have long been JA’s problem. the police know ho is but his father is to rich to see his on in prison....

Allcityking: 5th Feb 2008 - 04:29 GMT

Has anyone ever thought that maybe JA has his own damn money. He was a fucking movie star for Christ's sake. He obviously had money and most likely still has some. He most likely was a "millionaire" judging by the amount of movies hes been in. It says on the wiki page that he has been in Titanic along with a few others besides Karate Kid and Rocky. He also been in a few T.V shows. So everyone who keeps saying his dad is giving him all his money, back the fuck off and stop being suck fags about it. So what if his father did give him some money, would you homos say no to that money to help you stay out of jail, of course not. This is the problem with graffiti, your all a bunch of wannabe hard asses trying to fuck writers up that have more ups then you, have a better style then you , and get more attention then you. I don't think he cares that he can't do a wildstyle, he writes because he can.

Buzz Lightyear: 6th Feb 2008 - 04:58 GMT

from what ive seen hes been on tv in ER and other small roles lately. so is gonna pursue life in acting or what. cuz he should probably just continue his reign of NYC throw up king

Allcityking: 6th Feb 2008 - 22:17 GMT

^^ Exactly, so hes obviously still got money. I've seen a few box trucks go through philly lately with some JA throws on it, so I think hes still getting ups.

BELROC IOF: 7th Feb 2008 - 01:01 GMT

I see JA box trucks all over Connecticut everyday. I-95 I-84 and RT-8

AERT NYC: 7th Feb 2008 - 02:13 GMT

yo for you L.A cats who sayin ja is rich and all that shit..ur nigga saber is a lil white boy whos mom is scared shit for him..dont belive find it on youtube its on there...all in all JA is a fucking beast!

Buzz Lightyear: 19th Feb 2008 - 00:09 GMT

yo belroc, i'm on I-95 everyday and have yet to see a JA throw up. OVAL used to be all over the merit and 95 but i havent seen his shit lately. looks like everythings been buffed. i wonder what happened to that cat

anon (cf2.utc.com): 20th Feb 2008 - 18:42 GMT

I just saw a box truck with a JA tag on the grill
on Route 8 in Shelton CT about 15 minutes ago.
Oval was this crazy guy from Norwalk that crushed shit
for a few years and then just quit.
I've seen many like hime come and go.
Ser2 is a good example.
I also saw a JA truck on I-84 in Hartford on Sunday.
They must be on I-95 at some point.

REAP: 23rd Feb 2008 - 21:29 GMT

yeah ja is a legend and has alot of stuff up but...thats not really cool how he went over sabers big piece...like i know saber dissed or went over one of ja's boys but saber took soo long and hard work and probably alot of money to make it..

ApeksTDK: 25th Feb 2008 - 03:10 GMT

Did Cope2 and JA ever fight? Any good JA fight stories?

BelRoC IOFcrew: 25th Feb 2008 - 19:54 GMT

I know JA and Cope2 had a little war in the early 90's.
Seen them over each other at 238th street.
Never heard of them fighting over it.
But I did hear a rumor of JA getting his throat cut
because of the LA river thing.
But I don't know if I believe that.

TAG: 27th Feb 2008 - 01:40 GMT

JA is a legend.. but still, its fucked up he went over saber. Good thing Saber had the nuts and was down enough to go back over it.

That was a bitch move by JA.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 12th Mar 2008 - 19:51 GMT

Damn...y'all are embarising yourselves. It is bad enough that you post-84 new jacks are so politically retarded. There are no kings by throw-ups alone, who the f_ck taught y'all that nonsense..CAP????. CAP was a friggin punk-b_tch clown back in the old days and still is. CAP did nothing positive for writing. There are no throw-up kings period. Writers like IZ, DY-167(JESTER), MIN, QUIK, IN, TEE, etc...all had their burners and/or t-b cars down. Throw-ups are for getting up and that is it........STOP/LOOK/LISTEN/LEARN....Bye-yah!

BILROCK 161(aka.SAGE),Original President of RTW.

Post-84 New Jack: 12th Mar 2008 - 20:02 GMT

Embarassing ourselves, you say, you old geezer? You're like every other oldskool cat who's riding some already-done-shit and gave up on innovating YEARS ago and now you sit around and talk shit online because you can't get your head around the fact that the game has moved on, grown up, and the pace has quickened since your "golden years" of 70s-80s tagging. You're like the Model T, and we're like a brand new sports car, you dig?

I never even heard of you, so I Googled you, and saw your MySpace. You're 45 years old? Damn, man, JA is probably in his 30s, and he's oldskool to me, so that makes you PREHISTORIC.

Why do you talk like you're some famous expert? Just cause you were around "back in the day"? My grandpa was around "back in the day", and he doesn't know shit about graf. Post-84 new jacks? Are you serious? 84 was almost TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, man. Wake up, the 1970's are calling! They want their tired styles and played-out throwies back! I've seen Style Wars- that shit is like ancient history!

So for all us "New Jacks" out here trying to stay up, go all city and be kings, let me just remind you (and all other old, elderly cats who love to hate and talk about how much better shit was back in the day) that the game has moved on, and passed you by years ago, son.

And don't step to me for dissing you. I have respect for the founders and those that came before, but damn... why you gotta hate so much? Feeling left out? Probably.

W-Bear: 14th Mar 2008 - 18:43 GMT

Youngbloods comin' up today got no sense of history.

I knew Bilrock.
I hung with Bilrock.
You're no Bilrock.

I give you a lollipop if you get the polical reference here.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:07 GMT

What up Willy Bear?!!!, hope all is well my old freind. Yeah, well youth is almost always wasted on stupidity. Whoever posted post-84 new jack is just that. He is also a punk-assed bitch who wouldnt have survived the 70's at all. Come step to me anytime, I'll show you what this 45 year old can do. Hey post-84 new jack!, what arent you tired of suckin CAPs dizzack yet??!!, where you at??, let me pay you a visit.....

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:13 GMT

Oh yeah, post-84 new jack:

Yo momma sucks my "old geezer" dizack every night..whut up!?

Post-84 New Jack: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:26 GMT

See, thats the general difference in our perspectives, "W-Bear". I prefer to look to the future, and push things to new heights than to dwell on the past and the past's faded glories and talk about the "goold ole days". You sound like my grandpa. Good for you that you hung with Bilrock and know him, I guess. That's meaningless to me as I think he's a graf dinosaur, and wouldn't even bother crossing the street to hang out with some aging hater who apparently hasn't been up to much in, what, decades? Er, or much, that is, aside from talking smack on the internet and posting faded old flicks on his MySpace of his work, which is largely done in outdated styles that make me yawn at best.

And your statement "You're no Bilrock" is funny. You don't even know who I am. And honestly, I'm really glad I'm not Bilrock. If I wanted to be an old graf geezer, I'd just go watch Style Wars again, muse about CAP, IZ and other 50+ year old writers who have, I hate to say it, fallen off their game (assuming they ever had much to begin with, by today's standards). Just cause you happened to be around when a movement was originated doesn't mean you're an originator, and it sure as hell doesn't mean you have the right to diss us "New Jacks" wholesale. And those of you that gave up the game years and years ago have little right to talk smack. Us "New Jacks" are the ones putting in the work. We run the game. We make the opinions, the styles, the trend. We're making history nowadays. You guys are pre-history. Graf cavemen. Old curmudgeons who shake their canes at passing kids and sneer about how much better stuff was "back in the day", which is all you've got, cause you're sure as hell not up to anything nowadays.

And your "polical" reference to Dan Quayle cracked me up, as it refers to an event that happened in 1988, which was probably around the last time you went bombing. I find it ironic that you chose to quote something over two decades old. It just goes to prove my point that you, also, are a geezer.

And Bilrock, your silly diss on my Mama just shows that you're ignorant and reactionary, in addition to being a graf dinosaur. Because I find your opinion worthless, your attempt at dissing me is equally pointless. Even if you disagree with me, I did my due-diligence by giving you a logical, eloquent reply and you just shot back with a "yo mama" joke, so I guess that just goes to show that your opinion isn't meant to be taken seriously. You couldn't even engage me beyond one comment without resulting to pointless, generalized insulting. I'm all city, AND I'm smart enough to put words together to express my thoughts like an intelligent, thought-provoking person. Too bad you can't say the same.

And Bilrock, as far as your threats go, you know you had it easy growing up in the pre-crack days of the 70s, before the vandal squad, before Giuliani and all that shit, right? I could bring the heat to you like nothing you ever felt but really, man, why should I bother?! I couldn't earn any cred for battling you. Why would I stoop to your level? To show how hard I could beat some old geezer that no one cares about? You're not in my league, man, nor any other meaningful league except for the "Oldskool Cats" league, and everyone knows you don't kick senior citizen's asses. It's just not polite! But enough talk, show me something that'll earn me some stripes for battling, and I'm down. Until then, put up or shut up, son. By the way, are you still a drug addict who hasn't written since 1983?

So anyway, aside from all of this bullshit, wasn't this thread about JAone?

W-Bear: 14th Mar 2008 - 21:21 GMT

What can I say? Post-84 New Jack has won himself a lollipop.

Make that two: he get's a bonus for catching my typo.

How groovy.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 15th Mar 2008 - 00:54 GMT

Post-84 new jack,

Nobody was dissing new writers in general. Only the young pups who think who-the-f_ck they are, and all they do is throw-ups???. You should check whom you call an "old Geezer. The only thing I called some young "Throw-up" kings is new-jack. If you are a new jack then congratulations if you are smart enough you may grow to be my age of 45. You completely missed the point, lets focus..we were speakin on throw-ups, and there being throw-up kings. I ask "who the hell wants to be king of throw-ups", but mostly, Mr.post-84 new jack, if you never heard of me then you cant really be down. You need to go hear it from your elders instead of lookin at that "Subway Art" book. You should watch who you pop shit to, end of story. PEACE

Post-84 New Jack: 15th Mar 2008 - 04:39 GMT

Thanks for the lolly, W-Bear. I'll be sure to pass it on to my son. He's teething right now and its a bitch.

As for you, Bilrock Rolling Thunder Whiter- oops, I mean Writer. You failed to address most of my points, so I guess you're not down for much discussion on that tip. But I will say this- "Subway Art" book? Nope, they didn't have that one in The Tombs last time I was in for writing. At least I didn't have to hit Riker's this time, though they have a pretty good library there. Perhaps you could lend me your copy you jerk off to while riding all the REAL oldskool writer's dicks. Listen to you dissing on me and then being on some "watch who you pop shit to" tip, man. For real. Thats some oxymoronic shit right there, g. See, thats why I have little respect for y'all geezers (yes, I'm checking myself right there, calling you "geezer" instead or some harsher street shit, so feel it). You've spent the past 25 years talking the talk when you only spent a few years walking the walk, and even then, you were walking it in a softer, simpler time and place, doing shit than would look wack and cutesy and throwback today. I have a right to talk a little dirt (and do a little dirt) because I put in hours a day into this way of life. Bomb all day, every day, all-city til I die. And I have for years. Probably longer than the solid 5-10 good years you actually put in. So I have that right, brother. Once again, I remind you to feel it. Or can you after all these years of being on the sidelines and living in the past?

Can I be down? Man, I'm defining what "down" is right now. See, it's like this. I've heard of you, I just think your bark is big and nothing else you got is, and I don't think much of your armchair internet criticism of bombers who get UP. Destroy shit every day and every night to get UP. It's like my grandpa when he watches the Giants take a beating, yelling at the TV as if he could do it better, or as if anyone cares what he thinks about some shit he's merely passively observing.

I passed a Dr. Revolt piece today. A crazy burner. And it looked like it was pretty new. I see Zeph up still for decades- old antique shit that everyone knows to respect and not touch. Where's yours? I never seen a Bilrock except in old throwback flicks online. So riddle me that. Where you been, Sage? Billy? Clime? Whatever. I know how to use Google. I respect oldskool writers with a REP, not just loud-talking has-beens who love to talk shit. Back away from the internet and stop and think. You've seen my name a million times, probably a hundred or more times today alone, assuming you actually get out of your house every now and then and don't live in Jersey or LI these days or some shit. Respect is a two-way street, son, and I'm sick and tired of you oldskool cats resting on your laurels and not showing proper respect to those of us who are actually raising this rebel kid called graffiti that you old grandpas claim to have birthed. So stop being a hypocrite and then we can talk. Address the points I raised above. Tell us when the last time you hit an illegal wall was? Shit, why don't you go on and post some of your shit on this site like JAone did above? Or is all you got a MySpace page and hazy rustoleum-tinged memories of stoneage 1970s graffiti?

Go ahead and pop shit. I'll be sittin on my Always On Top shit. Everyone in New York knows my name. And that's more than you can say, despite class or upbringing or age or race or sex or dissing or internet beefing.

And that's that.

DAMN: 18th Mar 2008 - 19:59 GMT

This page has been here for about 4 years and after reading all this shit i got the following
1) JA (if actually him) posted twice. TWICE!
2) Bombing gets the job done faster than piecing
3)JA's dad works in Hollywood
4)JA is NOT dead
5)NYC writers and LA writers need to stop this wack cross country internet beef
6) If JA had genitial herpes... 90% of the mothafuckas in this forum would be breaking out from all the dick ridin
7) JA works alone, Saber had four writers help him with the River piece
P.S. Give Respect Where Due

And as for piecing goes.. I'll burn anything that you've done into the gutter on that section of graffiti as well.

YO BILROCK, thats a wack move calling him out like that. You just obviously wanna shift the focus onto this person's identity, and are totally ignoring the very valid points he's makin. Are you are are you not a has-been? Do you even paint any more? How's that addiction going? Do you use a walker?

Y'all whiny-ass old school cats need to learn to practice the very same RESPECT you keep demanding, son.

YET ANOTHER NEW-JACK,
You are the same. It is obvious by the same imature insults you so freely hurl at someone you dont know anything about. I almost was going to be civil to you on 03/15 but after your indulgence in the most retarded racist diatribe, so much for that. I actually was never tryin to dis JA, he gets up and probably can do burners .I was trying to relay to younger writers that graf is all about the art. Do you honestly think you are going to be doing throw-ups all over the place when you grow up(if you do). I apologize to JA if he thinks I was popin shit about him. I made the mistake of airing my learned-graf opinion about throw-ups. But you son(literally)are a dumb mo-f_cker, you pop shit to me but cant back it up. I am easy to find, come to one of my shows and introduce yourself. I have no hate but I can only give you some wisdom from age. Do not get into simple minded racism, you will only hurt yourself and your people. And you dont know shit anyhow. RTW. was 40% latino, 40% white, 20% black, with a couple asians as well. I walked with the best new-jack, writers you can never touch. I tell you what, son, how about you go learn some knowledge. That is all I have to say on this but I extend an open invitation to you, come to one of my shows(or one of my boys, eg. T.KID-170, REVOLT, MIN, QUIK, SHOCK-123, KEL 1st, etc...etc,), I will be there.

Peace, Love, Unity, and death to racists!,

yo BILROCK-161, I got a ton of repect for you, and its a shame there are some younger guys who are beastin on you. When they get to be 45, I wonder how thell feel about gettin on you, callin you a dinasour. No doubt, your another one of the great originals, and I know that tons of people with sense, got a lot of respect for you.

I got respect for JA, but can someone give me a reason why he went over Saber's piece? It took Saber like 35 days or something like that to make such amazing piece. Why would JA go over it? just for fame? Envy? I just wanna know, I realize that there would be many assholes who would go over it. But what made JA do it?

grounded: 7th Jun 2008 - 17:51 GMT

I can't believe I've read all this crap!

JAONE is a legend, like it or not, he's worldwide. Whether it's on daddy's money or dirty money it doesn't matter, he's still out taking risks and throwing up. He's paved the way(along with many others) for a new generation, people should respect the inspiration he's given us all. Without people like him there would be no scene for us to look back on.

big respect to JA

Thanks to Peter for the flix

John Avildsen is now in detox/rehab/group therapy. I met him there in May 2008. I saw his works and his books and all. He said he was quitting and he told me to look him up online, so I did. He wasn't bullshitting, I'm just here to let you all know what he said, I think he really means it. Thanks for your time.

ups: 28th Jun 2008 - 03:53 GMT

Quittin' graf or quittin' the nasty?

The latter I hope and if he is trying good luck to him! He's a very talented(not just bombing), intelligent and articulate man who deserves nothing but happiness. Stay strong!

Peace to LA & NYC... heard Philly was getting HUGE?!

Anyone know who wrote this sh*t back in the day? Since there's a bunch of heads in here,

"Almost 22 years in these backstabbin' streets. Strike a match and feel the cold heat. Too many illusions! Even young cats are strapped! So go for the cheese and you get jacked by the trap!"

I read that shit when i was like 12 years old or something, and always wanted to know who wrote that shit... suh an ill quote.

Roke3 Nyc: 15th Jul 2008 - 13:20 GMT

This masterpiece measures a staggering 250’ x 55’ (nearly the size of a football field) and took 125 gallons of latex roller paint and a year of carefully planned nights to complete. Every supply for the LA Riverbed painting had to be hauled over barbed wire and through gangland, then applied without attracting the attention of either the Amtrak or Los Angeles police departments, both of whom patrol the area from the ground and the air. After a year of work, Saber had blown out his knee working on the slanted surface, but completed the painting. Saber and Ja are both fuckin kings of their own style.

ja vs saber: 15th Jul 2008 - 22:44 GMT

for all u foos talking Ny and LA beef...........

thats how it goes........

sorry to tell yall, but i havent seen ja's shit in a minute. nigga is a king, but hes old. i think he would of givin it up by now to start settling down.....if he is gettin up, a few tags here and there but he aint ever gonna get up like he used to. hit sick ass spots. thats just how it is legends come and go in everything. they cant stay forever. ja had his shine but sooner or later some toys, punk ass wanna bes are gonna think they're cool and they're gonna go over all his throwies, all around the city. ja will forver be nyc king, but his reign is over....someone new will come and take his spot. thanks for the memories man

Ryan: 20th Jul 2008 - 05:31 GMT

if he DOES come back though, hes not gonna be able to haul his ass around nyc AGAIN and crush shit like he used to. based on his date of birth he's 39. no 39 year old man is gonna try and come back in the graffiti game. nigga probably has kids and a wife. his fam is way more important then coming to a game where no one will be king ever again. There's more taggers in that city then ever now. you may see a few tags you never saw before so you think its new, but it probably isnt. sorry to tell yall but hes gone.....

JA is the fuckin Michael Jordan of graffiti. Fuck all the haters, fuck all the little toys. I moved to NYC from Germany 10 years ago and see his shit every where. Dont quit JA...stay at it!

rabbit: 1st Aug 2008 - 17:42 GMT

JA = John Avildsen Jr. son of John G. Avildsen Sr. the director of movies like Rocky and Karate Kid. If you look closely in alot of his father's movies you can see JA and friends of his like Reas up everywhere.

all yall la writers need to get your shit in check and respect the birthplace. yall are like graffiti's bastard child. no one cares about yalls shit but yall. realize.

and all yall on here that dont write need to shut the fuck up cause you dont even know.

the truth is its always JAONE on top, time after time, year after year. he's the terminator. talk all the shit online you want, JAone is top dog, and not just in nyc.

NYC native: 15th Aug 2008 - 13:57 GMT

JA is still killin it. obviously not like he did when he was 16, but he still gets the itch just like the best of us, and still goes out and murders truck yards. he won't stop til he can't walk anymore, and even then he'll have bags of paint rollin on his wheelchair. king forever.

og Shie 47 Los Angeles: 20th Aug 2008 - 10:42 GMT

the evolution of graff in la are the artists and u have to be good.so many people faded cuz they were limited on their skills. back in the day u could rock throw ups and basic outlines or quicksilvers and be fresh now thats not good enough. there is no such thing in LA as kidsthat are true vandals anymore like 87-93 cuz of the system. the system will lock u up and destroy ur life and ur going to get buffed there r no landmarks. gin and cab made a run hael and colt did good job. oiler came back for a week. people get fame by posting shit on line. it is not the same. there are so many that didnt do shit back in the day except a few pieces and 20 yrs later they come back like they are all that. going back to ja he made graffiti rebelious and.so many people in la were trying to mimick his approach to graff. his obvious influences were people like cap. those that were around in wla during the g&s beef it was totally new york u didnt know who was going to cap next. so many legends retired & ja still rockin shit.wow

Mr. Los Angeles: 25th Aug 2008 - 04:54 GMT

ja is the shit. a ja scribe is doper then a mad ass saber revok production. but u got give credit. they r dope as fuck on a different level. they rock mad ass illegals and could burn anyone. graff is so played and commericial people dont realize how dope they are. ja does a throw up and runs while msk rocks productions. if ja was an LA KID he would be a toy on the same level as shie 47 but cuz hes from ny where graff originated and to la kids ny seems so mysterious and thats why everyones on his jock. in la ja style doesnt work

Both Sides: 27th Aug 2008 - 22:19 GMT

JA did his thing in NYC time and time again. He payed dues. He also ratted a lot and is a spoiled rich kid with a serious drug problem. Do the math... Is that what you aspire too, or does it just impress you?

Mr. Los angeles: 28th Aug 2008 - 03:36 GMT

The Fact is he mad famous and everyone is on his weiner. If not they wouldn't be here.

you want to make JA mad.: 28th Aug 2008 - 20:45 GMT

all you wanabees that are on Ja's nutz that want to get him mad where he actually might come knocking on your door.go to his wikipedia page under ja or his name johnathon adavilson go under the edit tab and you can actually type over the page. it talks about all his extra work on movies he has done l.o.l. you can type shit like saber rocks or ja for president.u can even get fame and hit your name on his page. but be careful because unlike this site he will see it. there is a link on this page. or just google it. msk...

oh word?: 4th Sep 2008 - 21:08 GMT

I don't see why so many people think this dude's dad is eternally funding his existence, as though this oscar-winning director is going to be real happy that his son ended up a notorious crack-smoking street vandal, and be ready and willing to bail him out of anything.

I don't know either of them ... but I'd guess at some point, probably a long time ago, his dad threw in the towel and left him to face his own music. What kinda stupid, gullible father would be bankrolling their kid's career as a petty street criminal well into their 20s and 30s?

...or maybe not. Maybe his dad does send him a check every month. Maybe JA's never worked a day in his life, bought every can he's ever used at full retail price, gets caught once a year, has been stabbed in the eyeball with a samurai sword and controls a personal staff of hollywood-financed power attorneys whom he dispatches at will to foil the meddling vandal squad at every turn.

A lot of bullshit talk here. Graff is momentary, if your shit still runs, if you still have the spots, then that's it. To anybody that grew up in NYC, the question of King is simply easy. Doesn't even need to be said. There's lots of dudes out there killing it, like my man OJ who I haven't seen in YEARS. Good to see him still out there with JA still rocking it. Peep Video Graff 8 kids..

gxr killer: 20th Dec 2008 - 02:37 GMT

JA is a fuckin legend. I acually got to me him a few months ago threw my man ovie. "FREE OVIE" THE MAN IS A CLASS ACT. He is the reason I as small kid i got into graff. In my humble opinion I believe hands down he is the king of New York. b=By no means is this a diss at the old school like COPE2,SEEN, TKID,GHOST,VFR,SKUF,KEZ5,SANE(RIP),SMITH,All City Crew, and all other writers that are killing it. The mans love for this art has nothing to due whether he comes from money or not. Every true writer knows this is a fucking drug that you just can't stop. None the less I hope all you young wanna be writers start doing your homework and start paying some attention and see that in order to be a true King of your craft you must pay dues. Look this man (JA xtc) up and trust you will learn. Anyway peace and much respect to the legand JA.

listen graffiti is a type of art its called urban art and its not scribbling you couldnt do any of the shit you see on the walls and if you dont like graffiti dont come in a graffiti blog keep that shit to your self because no one in here wants to hear it ok. Also most artists now in days write graffiti its a great way to flex your mind and art skills

i cant believe this argument has been going on for five years. such ignorance should be punished with execution

FREE YOUR F*KIN MIND.: 19th Mar 2009 - 20:19 GMT

graffiti is a form of art, and it became an outlet for people to express themselves or recreate their own expressions and creates a place only for themselves to be at peace and enjoy what they are doing when they do it. and all this fighting or "hating" or "talking shit" over stupidity and ignorance towards another individuals art or expression or feelings, is exactly why people left that environment to free themselves from that environment and do something that let them express themselves called art. so think about all the times uve had bullshit put on u someone sayin some crap or shit at home where ur like f*k this bullshit and went and worked on your art or graff whatever. why are you perpetuating this environment fighting over nothing? why are you fighting over other peoples beef and just causing more destruction when you should be CREATING go out and put up an amazingly intricate piece on a wall that is disgusting and totally breaking down and rotting down to the ground and make that wall look beautiful, stop perpetuating a disturbing environment for others why do you do beautiful art on places for people to see you should be doing it to create something better. so carry that thinking into all forms and stop this fighting over nothing and create something better. peace!

Ja is the 2009 defintion of graffiti... This dude emptied more cans of paint than anyone on this planet

Oi!Ah!: 15th Apr 2009 - 17:45 GMT

I am a fan of his spots and style, and i like the comeback with Left and Ojae but to be honest i think he was playing himself in karate kid 3, rich, snob, bully, trendy drug taker, with a street tough gold chain. some dude in the tombs told me bout that flick said he used to write "SEF". but I also think it takes more than money to climb some shit that you can die falling from, even if it means when you get down and the fuzz is there you're gettin a bailout. his shit always makes you ask yourself "how the fuck???" but then you realize even if shit hits the fan for him hes got a bit of a cushion, which is something many writers do not have and end up goin away. so it aint jealosy its stating facts. most writers in NYC aint got it like this dude got it. thats why he is EVERYWHERE.

Planet MARS: 19th Apr 2009 - 07:19 GMT

What part of the Manhattan Bridge did he hit back in the day? The columns what columns?

AR24: 25th Apr 2009 - 04:20 GMT

If anyone lives in The Bronx, check out the Cross Bronx Expressway. Him and Left hit it up and it got buffed, but he went back and hit it up again. This guy's consistency is ridiculous.

HARDSET-HEAD-SYDNEY: 3rd Jun 2009 - 12:14 GMT

Anyone who actually goes out bombing knows exactly how much respect he deserves. If you're out there every night bombing you'll appreciate the obvious risks he has gone to just to get up that hard, he's gone further than all of you, that's for sure. No one here can truly diss him with any authority, perhaps GKAE, but I don't think he's posting in here either.
But as I said, anyone who actually did anything knows the risks and knows how difficult it is, and will give props where props are due.

renu...kaapstad: 7th Jun 2009 - 12:52 GMT

ya i agree! if you have bombed you will know how much risk it takes to bomb and to bomb well..

FENEONE SDF: 14th Jul 2009 - 20:57 GMT

i got respect for JA. and for the record he dissed that SABER piece because SABER went to NYC and dissed a SANE piece. so i dont blame JA for going over that piece. but SABER is dope as fuck also. however none of these cats got shit on AUGOR. he has tags, throwies, burners, pieces, and murals on LOCK!!!

BH1: 15th Jul 2009 - 00:02 GMT

And that, my friends, is why you will never see SABER up in NYC. No real writer can hate on JA. RIP Sane. Respect. End of story.

Ja is a legend, the SABER piece got more recognition after Ja than before. Ja also made Cope2 beg him to stop their war in the 90's. Ja has probebly knocked more people out of the game than anyone else, thats why he takes on MSK single handedly. Love him or hate him, were all still talking bout him.

And saber should shut the fuck up already no one wants to hear his constant whining about that JA raggin his piece no more, it's like he is traumatized with it... And plus he should be glad JA made his piece more known...

Pest: 4th Sep 2009 - 09:55 GMT

You can't compare the two, that's like comparing country to hip-hop or something. Two different genres, Throw ups compared to pieces? come on now, they both get down and both got fame. Both are kings but in different categories. They might go at it and diss eachother or whatever, but it's a battle that will never be won by any of them because there's always going to be 2 completely different opinions. Either, Saber is sick, he pieces and JA just throws up and uses 1-2 colors. OR JA gets up and isn't scared to throw it down, while Saber doesn't put up as much work.

Long Live in[Sane].

Buser Loko truly is loco for comparing Revok to Seen. "its just over all better..." But its not. Its more wild, yeah but making lines so wild no one can understand without knowing whos piece it is doesn't make the it *better*. Neither does it necesarily take any *real* talent to make the wildest stuff. I know many writers who can make the sickest lines but ask them do something different and they cant deliver. Revok over Seen???!!! Nukka are u crazy?

got up more in LA in the 80s than SABER did in the last 10 years. Also I give it to JA because you never hear him crying like a pussy.

tanz1: 23rd Feb 2010 - 02:50 GMT

JA is all city king. anyone who disagrees knows nothing. and the reason why JA dissed saber is because saber dissed a sane throwie. and for those who say he cant piece he can, just prob likes going out and bomibng more. with the amount of paint it can take to get up in one spot with a piece he can get up in ten different spots.

Supposedly MQ stabbed him in the back, unseen, by/on canal street.
MQ lost mad respect in NY for doing that over graf.
Years later MQ tried to squash the beef with Ghost by showing up at his show with his girl and infant child. His girl gives ghost MQ's black book to sign in order to squash beef, ...ghost turned him down.
Now what was the story on the fight between revok and ja?

Ok. I'm 43yrs old. I was an origional b-boy from Jamaiaca Queens. Lets face it, hip hop was born in NY. I dont hate the west cosast. But why yall always want to claim you're so much better than the cradle. You never her us sayin East coast this & east coast that. Yalls contribution to hip hop culture is noted. Respect. Now for my NYers. Have you ever heard of Seen, Paris, scop, lust france. They not only got up, they shit was fly. I remember seein JA in the 80's.But his shit is still the same today. no elevation. Ctas that was hittin the trains was doin much flyer shit. they just grew up. that's what la is sayin. .

SNARE CEO : 21st Jul 2010 - 07:19 GMT

"Respect those that came before you, especially those that paved the way and were real."

...So first off, word to the guy who just spoke.

I just heard a story from a friend in Brooklyn who met JA & Ghost through a mutual friend in 1990... She said something about free mini-mouse key chains and veggie hero's... it was quite the story...But seriously, more than anything, she said JA was super down to earth and a level headed guy. Interesting considering it was at that time he took the crown in NYC...

Above anything- and this may seem overstated- I find he's kept it realer by snubbing the media...And that's what's up. Getting props from law officials on the damage he's done always made me laugh too.

On another note, the banned blunt wraps of all sorts here in Ontario, Canada....But the kush still tastes fine......."Let's get high, BRUSHSTROKES."

Ted: 25th Aug 2010 - 06:02 GMT

"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."

Kevin Heldman: 7th Oct 2010 - 16:23 GMT

Hey, appreciate some of the good words up here -- kevin heldman, I wrote that Rolling Stone article on writers/graf back in 1995. Sane's brother was how I got into the piece - he, KET, and especially JA
were decent as hell to let me into their world. Hope you four are all good.

Say one thing, JA was smart and thougtful and honest about being a legend, fame, doing graf,
quitting graf, media attention, ego, what's authentic, what's pathetic -- all that he wrestled
with and then he still went out and took action, did his thing, that takes character and guts.

There's a tighter, easier to read version of the article on my site if anybody wants to check it

if your not a fan of JA, why do you read about him,think about him and go through all the effort of writing about him ?
Your on his dick. Silly faggot dicks are for chicks.. There is nothing hard about writing anywhere. Your just a shook punk who should live out his pipe dreams on the internet talking about the GOD JAONE .. where its safe.. Rock On.

So what if his dad has money. he still went out and bombed like crazy. money cant buy that. he put in mad work so i respect him for that. to all those who act like he is god. he is just a dude thats writes. respect him, get over it and try to bomb as much as he did yourself.

tony 167: 30th Dec 2010 - 10:46 GMT

Befor I make my statement I want to say I utterly hate when old school dudes don't give the younger writers props, Thats because they're still living like they still in the 70's please stop it. Since Im a real dude that says real things and Im from the 70's but I can whole heartly say i can name 4 newer writers and you can name your best 4 writers from the 70's not anything artistic but just bombing and they WILL NOT amount to these four guys (JA XTC COPE2 JOZ AND EASY) These dudes was the most up ever. Joz and Easy paved the way for cope and ja.

Two schools of thought here, graff was never about how many spots you can hit with a shitty throw up, it was about style, individuality and sharing the art with your friends (or enemies). You think any regular civilian even looks at graff and says wow that's JA, he is up a lot... don't think so. JA is just like a xerox machine making shitty copies of the same thing over and over again. True artists actually have an extension of a throw up, look at RD 357, most of his street tags and throw ups any toy can imitate, but look at his blackbook and its a whole different story. And yes being a rich kid from the upper east side does help, right John Avildsen?

EFiftySe7en: 27th May 2011 - 21:47 GMT

JA has a much nicer handstyle and throwie... period. RD was prolific, but not on the same level, even if he beat many more heads down. And rd started to (barely) piece at the end of his career. BTW, you're confused about where each writer is from, so keep your mouth shut, any city head could throw out rd's name.

DROCK.: 17th Jun 2011 - 14:15 GMT

I've yet to see a post by JA anywhere, on any website. He has people who love him and hate him but he really doesn't seem to care. I've noticed that all the people who talk trash NEVER.say there name.. That says it all. I live in new York and see JA up 5 to 10 times a day weather I'm in the city ,Bronx Brooklyn , Queens etc. He is all over the MTA also and trucks forget it. He keeps it 100% and everyone knows of him but nobody knows him. That's what I love the most.

graffgod: 8th Sep 2011 - 04:32 GMT

la graff is way sicker.i been out there twice this year. motherfuckers are doing crazy burners with mad colors in them on ledges over the highway. you dont see that shit much in ny. i live like 40 minutes from nyc every time i go there i dont see any new bombing. matter of fact the last time i went down there i noticed alot of westcoast writers like nekst, adek, revok and even erupto. ny has been slipping for years the style is played out and watered down. i will give props to all the all the heads that held the 90's down. if you know anything about graff you know who im talking about.

I dont get how everyones on this faggots nuts like were all supposed to thank him for being a rich whiteboy writer, yeah he got up alot, but who wouldnt be killin it if daddy could get you outta jail all the time, & I wtf is up with those same lame ass 2 color throwies, if I were to call someone a "graff king" that would be cuz theyre killin it in all forms of graff not shitty ass throwies like him!
P.s how the fuck are we on the west coast on his nuts if we hate on this fool? Last I checked were as far off his nuts as can be, you guys are on his fuckin chode defending him like hes a real graff king, & dont get me wrong im not dissin nyc cuz ive been out there & theres some pretty clean fools but JA a king haha you must be out your fuckin mind!

LA OG..: 3rd Oct 2011 - 18:59 GMT

Why are so many LA writers on JAs dick ? It's a bad look across the board jocking anyone so hard.

@ DESO : 6th Oct 2011 - 21:26 GMT

The reason is he world famous & went over sabers piece in the sewer, witch by the way is not a big deal I'm from LA we used to paint in the sewer all day long shoot guns party etc... It was a joke in the 90s & it's a joke now. The MTA piece was 5 times the size. The city buffed it last year I wonder if saber is bitching and moaning about that ? Too many LA writers talk shit stay on the Internet and paint in places you'd never see unless you knew where to look. If your smart stay off the Internet snitch line and just paint & get up... Like JA

style,,know in the other hand saber were to even begin,! He
has done it all tags throwies rollers pieces style billboards
and on and on,,,,LA wins any time,,

True story: 14th Oct 2011 - 22:12 GMT

The la river is a JOKE.. You can paint there in the day time Saber never got up point blank. He is a suburban pussy who buys paint and cries like a Bitch Anyone who ever put in work and knows about getting up knows it takes mad work bombing over and over and over not doing a roller job with 10 of your friends in the LA sewer with paint your mother bought you. Real talk why don't these pussys go to. NYC and step to JA in person ??? Because you don't have any heart . The internet is Romper Room for toys. I've lived in LA for over 10 years and have Never seen Saber up. You can leave your house in New York without seeing JA up. It's just a fact.

Nick Los Angeles : 16th Oct 2011 - 23:24 GMT

I give props to ja, he has been putting in work for years and years, hardcore bombing...gotta love it, But some of u guys saying hes the best writer ??? Dont think so ,Saber gets up just as much just as long and even doper spots , historic spots, The thing is with Ja u seen one u seen them all , oh and Ja is all City ??? Awr Msk paint in several other different Countries, And they do Burners in really high traffic areas not no fillin outline, Im not dick riding msk or awr i just know Los Angeles set the bar for graffiti......

Nick Los Angeles : 16th Oct 2011 - 23:31 GMT

Hey true story your obviously 11-17 years of age just poppin off at the mouth not knowing wtf your talking about, yea ja is a legend and has alot of bombs but hating on him cuz hes from the suburbs??? Who gives a fuck you obviously dont have a true love for Graffiti or u would know that people from all differnt backgrounds love graffiti and becuz ur hood dont make u a better writer, So what if ja could win him in a fight u act like there in a gang, that tag banging shit is stupid as fuck, for me graffiti is productive and postive , alot of my friends got into sticking people up and hard drugs and out grew graffiti ....not me....

I wasnt gonna say anything cuz i respect what ja has done but saying west coast writers jock Ja and hes the top dog and watever, he probably painted for bombs or throwies then anyone but thats it, wack tag, same bomb, theres so many more things to graff then 2 bombs which is all he has which is cool thats your shit but to even COMPARE him to Saber is a fucking joke , you cats are the ones jocking Ja, Oh and quick question why do white boys and mexicans from the East Coast think its okay to say nigga and talk more black then any black person i ever met, you just sound ignorant and like your trying way to hard so take a different approach

LA is a joke: 17th Oct 2011 - 13:18 GMT

Even I admit I jock JA that's why I've been talking about him for over 10 years .. Look at mr Los Angles.. I see that up alot. There is not one post here by JA The idea that a writer should change his name or do a different. Style . It's called repetition image if pepsi changed there logo every week, or Apple or Goodyear tires.. The whole idea of crying on a web site about JA proves your on his dick. If you were not you would not be thinking or writing about him ? How you Never hear any New York writers talking about LA ? It's always LA writers who you've never herd of talking about JA . ??? And why didn't any of these emotional gangsters from LA go fix the sewer roll up by saber ? Or for that matter go to NYC and set it on JA ? Because your all Internet pussy who dry snitch and complain.zero street cred.. Now go find a dead spot to write on or go to the LA sewer you can go right now or in 12 hours it don't matter because it's all good.. But y'all really look soft sucking JAs dick like this... Now wipe that mayo off your face. Go find JA and tell him to his face what you think and go from there.

Old School Fool: 17th Oct 2011 - 13:35 GMT

MSK was a crew called manhattan Subway Kings from Washington Heights & Inwood Mid 80s they were up on the # 1 line and A train. You mean there a group from LA that took the name ? Wait LA sucking on the old New York tube steak ? Say it ain't so.

Holy shit this discussion has been going on for 7 years now and JA came back 3 times to voice his opinion in that time.... Heavy props to both writers SABER and JA but my heart lies with New York as its what i grew up looking at on the internet and in books....

Love both writers and both have accomplished so much but you got to give it to SABER he is the better writer... And to the rest of you disrespecting the man bout his drug problem and his rich dad...

1. It aint his fault he had a rich dad, in fact lucky him to have one...
2. Most of the people talking shit on here probably havnt gotten up as much in their whole life as JA did in a month and i bet most of you have piss poor parents...
3. I can almost guarantee that JA didnt pay for his paint i eman it aint even hard to steal..
4. He still managed to get up more with a drug problem that nay of you little cunts will ever get up in your whole...

Respect to JA a true king in his own right :D

Stay blessed brother

writing in a sewer and paying for your paint is cool,,,So is crying like a pussy when you get dissed, Go say it to JA in person, Hiding behind a keyboard is about as gangster as writing in a Sewer with 10 of your friends helping you and paying for you paint.GRAFFITI GOT CRAZY SOFT,,BRING BACK THE 80s its truly pathetic how writers dont paint they just dry snitch and complain on the internet ..what a bunch of Birds..

LOL...some of yall are clowns.: 21st May 2012 - 22:41 GMT

JA is alive and well, works construction, isnt a rich mans kid anymore, used to live in Bushwick and bounced from friends house to friends house, no cell phone, still racks all his paint. and for all those who think he's a trust fund baby need to rethink their thought process. he barely talks to his pops. Also Howie FIB is making a comeback big time..and i spoke to DCEE not too long ago and they're causing alot of wreck. West Coasties have the time and the paint to do burners that takes hours. LA is huge..its 502 square miles NOT including a few suburbs....NYC is 303 square miles (Manhatten only being 22 square miles and has more graff then all of LA). NYC also has more cops then LA and LA county does. So being fast and being more up is where being a King lies. We also kill trains..still. Not like we can just take a train to hit a train 30 miles away from where we live.

Props to JA, SEEN, JD, SET, COST, REVS, JIS MC, DCEE, DART, DG, TRAP, DUEL MCI, GHOST, KET, EASY, JOZ and everbody else in NYC that has laid shit down for years...!

trueoldskoolnikkaz: 30th Jun 2012 - 05:08 GMT

Fisk50: 5th Jul 2012 - 00:19 GMT

Wow, all I have to say is KING... This dude go's and does where most writes won't go and do.... Dudes are all city kings because they do gates walls and shit like the but when have a dude thats doing plus climbing on to ledges and shit, the stakes get higher and higher alot dudes can fuck with him for that reason. This dude is the micheal Jordan of city bombing. Your not going to get no burners and shit like from him just some throw ups, out lines, and bombing. True vandal at hand... True Vandal KING.... of new york.......

im from canada and it is always a delite to see any JA graffiti he is very popular down here for the fact he is old and still gets up! u cant judge a writer cause of his background people say he is toy but i think that some people get writers confused with BOMBERS... he is a bomber he is out to fuck shit up and i really hope that he is still getting up im still a young cat only 16 i just did 7 months for graff so im slowing down but he is the reason i got into bombing its a dead scene in canada and i wish some of u NYC boys can come show the toys down here whats up!!! peace and love from saskatoon canada SPEER NSA KEEN TYK

Geez: 7th Dec 2012 - 16:22 GMT

JA ONE XTC is the bomber KING of all graffiti ever, love it or hate it.

If you don't agree, then you dont know SHIT about graf.

Do your homework, haters. JAONE is the fucking MAN. #1 bomber EVER.

Geez: 7th Dec 2012 - 16:24 GMT

and to "official bronx nigga"... you gonna diss SKUF? and try to front like MENOS (respect) has more ups? Do you ever leave the bronx? Come to BK now and then, son. you talk shit... and don't even know whats up. LOLLLLL. SMH. YKKRUE all DAY.

Truth: 7th Dec 2012 - 16:31 GMT

Lemme set it straight:

All you Cali cats that come here talking shit... you need to step off. Do your homework. Sure, you guys get it in,so respect and all that, but... where did this shit start? Who handed it to you to run with?

NEW YORK FUCKING CITY, thats who.

And cats like JAone who kill it over and over and over and over and you're here talking about washed-up cats like saber and shit? SERIOUSLY?

Get your heads outta your ass. Look around you. Shit speaks for itself, son!

coastal feuds=simple minds: 14th Dec 2012 - 18:44 GMT

I just got back from my first trip to NYC and was taking in all the graff I could in the short four days I was there. In Little Italy, I happened to walk by a truck with a few JA tags and a COPE black/silver throwy, which I snapped a few flicks of (will try to come back and post once I upload them). I also stared into the darkness & saw a grip of JA stuff in the tunnels while on the A train heading to JFK.

I gotta add: I'm from Long Beach, CA and started writin' in 1990. My crew had respect and gave props to graff for the sake of it being graff. We didn't get caught up on no bullshit about tags vs. throwups vs. pieces or stupider yet, East Coast vs. West Coast -- it was/is all part of the 4 elements, nuff said!

Internet heroes on here might do the movement better by leavin' the keyboard and go just gettup... and in regards to JA only doing tags & throwys, as the homie CELOX used to say: "but I'm up though!" biggups KBH CREW

EDDIE OD: 28th Dec 2012 - 11:37 GMT

Sar Tmb: 21st Feb 2013 - 07:16 GMT

Louie D what?
Sar TMB legend
36 years , without us there is no them
Iz the wiz legend
Ja is a die hard
Without new school old school is dead and forgotten
Keep graff alive at all costs, the cross outs and the bullshit and lack of respect and unity is what killed the train
Movement. The hate kills us all. It's bad enough the outsiders hate graffiti
We hate each other. The rules were for everyone. Without rules you have shit.
A throw up was allowed to go over a tag. A piece was allowed to go over a throw up.
There was room, or you did floaters. No respect for the kings, we used to love old stuff that survived, old tags on the
Conductors doors. Anyway, the history is what brought you hear today. Somebody before you taught you the game.
A friend, someone took you writing and got you the fever.
Peace
