Gang graffiti is all about putting up were ur from and territory shit
Graffiti crews is a bunch of good writers that put theyre names up together and help each other in certain events ... people in actually crews are the ones that do wild style....gangs but up simple letters .... some gang graffiti is actually good

[Sprae]

no... no gang grafitti looks good.

Gang grafitti is to mark gang territory and let people know about your gang. They dont put work into their grafitti and they just do it to be hard (even though thats a stupid reason)

Grafitti crews work extensively on putting up and actual piece of art that some people view as just senseless vandalism.. crews sketch and stuff until each member gets really good and their art and names are worthy of displaying to the public

basically gangs do it just to mark territory, crews do it as an art form and to get their name out

[smartSOFT]

dont help this punk out...yall had to learn shit on ur own...so does he...no1 handed me shit...

[uhhh]

hey dumbass, he's not trying to get into graff, he;'s just writing a paper on it, and as far as i know, they don't give you years to research papers ;)

[Hater-AiD~>]

gang graffiti..i feel they are set out to do one thing..and that is get their name shown..the gang graffiti around 615 has no style, they are reckless, they go over anybodys stuff to cause as much beef as possible, and they only use one color

reg graffiti i feel is about style, getting your name out still applies but you have your own style added to your tags and whatnot

yeh but he could just go to any local library and pick up espo's book the art of getting over or whatever...

im sure if u type graffiti in wikipedia it tells u the difference between gang graff and graff crews

and that dude in ur profile freaks me out everytime i look at him :D

[uhhh]

hater-aid, where do you live, i live in a 614, don't know if they're near or whatever
smart soft, yeah thta was the point of putting him in my sig :lol: ;) :blink: :ph34r:

[smartSOFT]

i doubt 615 and 614 are near each other...

example: Ft. Lauderdale is 954 and miami is 305....right next to each other....totally diff numbers

in fact!

614 = columbus ohio
615 = nashville tennessee

6 hours and 8 minutes away 378.5 miles (thank you mapquest)

((90th post....where is my cookie bitches))

[uhhh]

yeah, i thought about that right after i posted that, but that makes absolutely nooooooo sense, they should be like, in order, not like 614, then 953 then like 104

it just makes nooooo sense :ph34r:

yea..we drove out to sandusky ohio one time i took forever..nice themepark though (ceader point)

[sabeSAHBEY]

gang graffiti sucks its used to mark territories and what not in short fuck it


real graffiti have basicly two branches peicing and bombing

peicing is the hottest shit and u will see much less of it because it takes forever to do a fuckin hot burner

bombing is about getting a hott throwie(good bubble letters that can be done quick for people who dont understand throwies)up everywhere its about getting up in the hardest to get places and putting your tags and name everywhere most people think that bombers are toys but this shit is wrong good writers can peice bomb tag etc.


its compliocated and ur asking toys so me and other people probably gave u the basics off it ask someone who has been writing for a long fucking time they usualy know their history

What the f..........?
Did that shit even make sense to anyone?

Gang graffit= territory marking
Graffiti crews= a group or writers working together for the common purpose of writing graffiti as a competetive artform. Writers are unified by a style, ideal, or simply friends. Because of the fact that graffiti as an art/game has become so competetive, many writers unify into crews to cover more teritory, and protect eachother from rival writers when nessecary. Although some elements of gang and crew culture may seem simmiliar, graffiti crews are based around art, not violence. We paint, we don't sell drugs. We stencils pictures, we don't pimp women. We carry markers, not guns. We draw on society, we don't intimidate it. Starting to see the difference?

(on the sarcastic note) yea im sure he was loving that

[beefgerky]

gang graffiti or "cholo writing" mixed with the funk styles of new york makes cali styles what they are today, like no other. i respect it only in that aspect, but mostly i hate it, and cross it every chance i get, not with my name, just cross it, gangs should leave the graffiti to the writers and just kill each other.

[liber1]

What I have found on this great thing we call the internet , is that (put into funny uneducational terms) is that gang "graffiti" is nothing more than bullshit with an aersol can. This BSWAAC is suppose to scare us off thier pissing grounds. Yea rite. :angry:

[ChRoMa 11820]

they have similarities and differences

both are tryin to get their names up but in the case of gangs they arent worried about if it looks good and they will cover other gangs graffiti and they do mostly handstyle that sucks, its all territorial with gangs

crews have a mixture of a lot of good writers and a few toys who all help eachother out to get better and get up so the crews name or the individual names are known... hope that helps

[scoot]

bad (gang)

good (graf crew)

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/1003/bodycount/SA400011.jpg

[djsupreeme]

that second one isnt good for anybody

[scoot]

oh well the point gets across tho

[BRAINE]

gangs are criminals who branch out into graffiti
crews are vandals who branch out into crime

[Klaz]

Gang graffiti is written in a certain way.

the letters are very simmilar to Phillidelphia tag letters(prolly how Philly got so famous for its tags).

They cross out any letter that stands for a set they have beef with..

for example Bloods will write something and if their is a C in it they will cross out the C because the C stands for Crip.


it usually gives messages to police and other gangs.and celebrates or mourns the death of a gang member.

crossin out gang graffiti is a one-way ticket to hell.

[FritoLay]

I got a feeling that paintman doesnt even tag... He probalbly wants to be cool and make graffiti sound cool even though (im not bragging--im not a good tagger) he is a HUGE toy

[topclot]

A) They are the same fucking things, the definition of gang is 3 or more people regularly participating in illegal activities.

B) WHY WOULD YOU DO YOUR REAPORT ON IT! is there any better way to say your a writer?

[Mexiklan Beaner]

"Fuck them gangs" - T Kid . im a straight up hater for gang graff. they need to leave it alone.

[ziponer]

gang graffiti: complete and total bullshit....not to mention them wannabe thugs who choose gang names like lil' penis
graff crews; writers who band together to share creative skills, brotherhood, and unity

[splif2]

ya gang graffiti is quick shit used to mark territory, no skill, and not thought trhough enouf, kinda like a beat up fagoty stray dog takin a pisss on wall thinkin all the other dogs are gonna leave now(not gonna happen) but a graffiti crew, oh boy oh boy, thats talent, skill, and love for art expressed through doing a dope piece on wall, which old prude bitches, and cops call vandalizing, and a scar on modern society,

art isnt a fuckin crime! :angry:

[Slushi]

gang graffiti is when black assholes break the law. Graffiti crews are groups of artists who break the law.

[1nOnly Baze]

sluse thats just fuckin racist... im mexican and write gang graff all the time. and it looks good to. not shitty handstyles.

[bojangles]

close.!!!!!!..you can tell when a thread needs to be closed when someone puts a racist comment in like that cunt

[sketch3]

no reson to close, people get WAAAY to offended,

[bojangles]

yeh, a big reason to close, everyone knows the difference between graff crews and gang graff..so why ask such a toy question when he can do a little research

[sketch3]

forgive me i ment the rascisim is no reson to close, the fact that its a shitty thread means it should be closed

[bojangles]

well then...your forgiven

[bountyhunter113]

wow.......lol this is a stupid thread....and what a retarded topic to write a paper on

gangs are fuckin pointless all they do is fight over turf and talk smack n their graffiti is jus retarded crap to mark turf with no artistic knowledge put into besides knowing how to write letters correctly(which some gangs mess that up too).....graff crew is about the art(puttin much effort into everything and years of learning) and actually having a point..

[AnteUp]

sluse thats just fuckin racist... im mexican and write gang graff all the time. and it looks good to. not shitty handstyles.
WTF!! ur frum japan?!?!?! lol

[AteskOne]

^^wtf are you talking about? were you attempting to be funny???....because you failed miserably.

[AnteUp]

no one is funny compared to you... :.( ha....haha....haha..... hilarious : l <_<

[Samp1e]

Gang graffiti is for the sake of vandalizing.
Crew graffiti is for the sake of vandalizing in style.

[Slushi]

sluse thats just fuckin racist... im mexican and write gang graff all the time. and it looks good to. not shitty handstyles.

The Black Assholes are a gang. Shitdouche.

[BIGel]

its funny how everybody is trying to seperate crews and gangs into two different things. they're one and the same 90 percent of the time. a gang is a group of heads you do illegal shit with, period.

surenos, crip, locos, nostra familia bla bla bla, all those major ones do have a different style that sets them apart from regular graffiti crews, crips write without b's, bloods write without c's , you can tell the gangs cuz its message first flair second, they want you to read that shit instantly. they do that whole block letter deal, and almost no "graffiti writer" will put that up on a seious level.
http://www.onrampelpaso.org/stateest_1104bhts.jpg

theres an encyclopedia's worth of shit that goes along with it. im only familiar really with the major mexican gangs because of where i live, but i can appreciate certain parts of gang graffiti/prison art. hell 75% of the writers i know are gangbangers anyway, so dont put writers on a pedestal you breaking the law too.

[AnteUp]

hmm all mah friends are bloods an they do that stuff too, the dont talk shit on me an i dont on them :) same as us they jus dont do peices :)

[ADozenFuries]

gang stuff seems to be all shit. well atleast around my city.

[toke_wdc]

its funny how everybody is trying to seperate crews and gangs into two different things. they're one and the same 90 percent of the time. a gang is a group of heads you do illegal shit with, period.

thats not what gangs do...gangs are a group of people who have rivalries against another group of people.

a crew is a group of people who hang out and do shit together.

you don't see writers driving around town looking for people doing graff and do a drive by on them...


BIG difference.

[From the Ground Up]

sooo fuckin truu......
gangs kick the shit outta people for wearing a certain colour....crews just go out n paint for the love of the game...shit son i nevr thought that people would be comparing the similarities of the two.....

[allcitybomber]

yeh that is comparing apples to oranges. they are both a fruit. and both type of gangs...(usually) paint on walls.

[Seek38]

some kripts went over my 1st throw up shoud i destroy their stuuf and cause a problem or just let it go?

Well it depends where u live..if u actually live in a place where they have real gangs..well cross their shit out but dont put your tag beside it:P

ANND seeing as how you misspelled crip you probably live in an area like me with a bunch of rich white french fags who think theyre all raw..so do everything in your power to piss them off:p

[toke_wdc]

those were probably some little kids trying to be hardcore.

[Dinan 3er]

gang graffiti has no style and will shoot you if they catch you crossing their shit.

[*LoST*]

in my city, all these "gangbangers" are just middle school kids trying to be hard. so every time I come across a crip tag I put a huge X over it with blue paint; punks don't know who to point the finger at. that's the only "gang" that actually tags around here though, haven't seen any blood, latin king, etc etc....

[HoodRichSucka]

dont help this punk out...yall had to learn shit on ur own...so does he...no1 handed me shit...

neglected as a child? so sorry... i guess that give u the right to be an asshole to others...

-d

[AMansNotACamel]

There's a gang around here, the NTC, ******s that care, they sell pills out the front of the club smack the buyer out, steal the pills back and repeat. I don't like them, they layed beat down on me and my boy at a party and I sense there will be another after we hit up all over their white van. On the other hand there are a load of sole graff related gangs like one sick addiction and after hours who might have beef though keep it to lining and the occasional crew smash on which is nothing compared to the shit the NTC dish out, 10 big maoris onto two or three crackers isn't cool.

[SOOF]

yea , dude if yu cnt tell the diffrent yur stupid as hell, gang graf is fuken jus people reppi wat there down wit, no style nothin good at all, and graffiti is jus graffiti

gangs graf : murda,nietas,etc
graffiti graf: yu can see nice murals, n shit

[glass]

neglected as a child? so sorry... i guess that give u the right to be an asshole to others...

-d

heh, fucking owned

in any case, i def. agree with both BigEl and also the comparing apples to oranges comment. what i've understood graffiti to be is generally a way to be noticed and get a message out or just your name. gangs want the attention and writers also want the attention. i don't know it just seems like the only difference in the graffiti is the message you give through it. but then again there aren't any gangs around me so thats just my 2 cents.

[HoodRichSucka]

agree with glass. not the owned part...well, ok, both parts
;)

I hear what you're saying and agree to an extent, 'cept gangs are involved in a variety of crimes, whereas serious crews are generally involved in one....Just graffiti. That in itself is the big difference. Around here, the gangs are reasonably serious, but their graff is straight up ugly and the general confusion it creates with the public frusterates me and makes my hobby difficult. My wifes family knows I write. Their first question was " so why did you join a gang?" Dealing with the preconceptions sucks. I hate gangs to an unhealthy extent. It's become a deep prejudice. I'm trying to let go of some of that, but it's hard when kids I've painted with get jumped in their own neighborhood for absolutely nothing. My boy was walking to his house when some dickhole asked him what he claimed. He said nothing. The guy asked what he wanted to claim. He said nothing. The guy pulled his hoodie over his head and beat him to the ground. Another guy came out from the house down and beat him too. For nothing. That's gay. You don't see graffiti writers pull that shit.


Anyways, Because of the continually blurring lines between gangs and crews, I dropped the 2 crews I wrote with and joined a 4 element crew. I don't regret it for a minute. They give me exposure on a huge level, and if I were to ever get heated up, they can throw a festival and use the funds to help with my defense. That's ill. I like the variety of talent I rep as well. I'm not just repping writers, I'm repping b-boys, DJ's, MC's, producers, shit, we even got a couple skaters, cuzz we don't have boundaries. We throw hip hop events and Raves from Here to Denver, to Seattle, to Bangkok and Japan. That's fuckin sweet.:D

[Fube]

i believe biggie is talkin the "text book" definition of a gang. from a legal stand point, if theres a crime involved be that killin motha fuckas or breaking the law in general with a spicific group, your a gang.

[Stryker]

So do u think graff krews are gangs??

[Fube]

no. i dont, i also dont think big el does eather. if u read my post correctly u would understand.

For other uses, see Gang (disambiguation) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_%28disambiguation%29).
A gang is a group of individuals that share a common identity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Identity_%28social_science%29), even if that identity consists of little more than their association with one another. In early English (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/England) usage, it referred to a group of workmen, and later underwent pejoration (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pejoration). Modern (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Modern_Times) reference uses the word gangs as a term for violent groups.



theres no direct straight up definition that sees all sides. the only side i worry about is the cops definition of gangs. frankly, they dont give a fuck if your in a crew or a gang. its all the same to them. i believe this is a stupid topic, if there were not so many post on it, i would delete it.



as for the art part of it. the difference between gang graff and the real shit is few and far in between. there shit is strictly about territory. thats it. they could give a fuck what it looks like, as long as u can read it. but on the other hand, ive seen some sick stuff from some gang members i used to know. but for the most part



gangs graff = territory
heads graff = art/ups.



the thing thats the same is gangs markin there shit is there "ups"
to me thats the only thing thats the same other then the fact that they use the same medium as us........spray paint.

lets see some gang flix pussies

Gang Graffiti vs Crew Graffiti Article (http://www.google.com)

yo, dj, u got a dead link in yo post

[iWuzOnce]

Technically a gang is any group of six or more. Other than that it's a gaggle. And if you're alone it's called a hoopy.

Anyway, gang graff sucks? so does a lot of graffiti.
There isn't much of a difference. Crews sometimes even beat the shit out of each other, some graff artists mark territory, blah blah blah. No difference.

haha whered you get those definitions..17th century british ditcionary?

I'd say there is quite the difference between gang grafiti and a normal graf artist..gangs only use grafiti as a way to mark territory and dont care about the art aspect whatsoever.

[DS817]

Gang graffiti is suck ass. Crew graffiti is actually good.

[KASE2]

gang graff, is more reppin ur set or hood nd so people kno that its their turf. lyk nortes nd surenos nd shit. they throw up XIV, X4, X3 nd lyk where they stay at nd its mostly in old english. crew graff is agen reppin ur crew but it has more style

[markingz.]

gang graffiti looks like symbols and stuff with no flow or skill involved. Crew graffiti on the other hand looks like two and three word letters done in a stylistic fashion usually with more skill involved.

[1nOnly Baze]

so bassicaly what your saying is that no fuckin gangsters in the world write graffiti and get up for there gang at the same fuckin time? =]

[markingz.]

no, thats not what I said, I was describing the nature of two different types of things, I never said anything about what gangsters do and dont do.

[Dying to live]

i hear what you guys are saying but when crews get deep in shit and are beefing with other crews it can get pretty rough not just going over each others pieces with tags i mean crew brawls so i can see how people can seem them as the same..

[TASK SvS]

I seriously hate people who write shit dogging this dude out. Its a question that doesn't get answered with shit liek that
You don't do anything but make yourself look like a dumbass replying like that.
Heh...

[Cams1]

gang graffiti is SHIT and actually graffiti is GOOD simple as that lmao

["Riot"]

gang graffiti looks like total shit like a fucking 5 year old drew on the wall.

graffiti is just fuckin dope kid. thats all there is to it.

killin for a color is pathetic.

[C-Lurk]

It's really quite obvious...

[whocares!?!?!]

sometimes gang graffiti is good
i saw some really nice SD blackletter shit a while ago, it even had a black to white fade in the letters, the person who did it obviously had some nice can control.

but most of the time it's just ugly as shit, they usually only use stock caps too

[Game Ova 07]

i dont agree with gangs or gang graffiti but...if you think about it both crew and gang graffiti are marking your territories and i know graffiti crews as well as gang crews that like beat the shit outta people to get in....i dont know its very similiar

[Beautiful_Crime]

no... no gang grafitti looks good. I know a gangster that could bomb and piece and he bombs and pieces and hes pretty dope as for the difference between gang and graffiti crews is graff writers are just trying to get up gangs are trying to gang bang and regulate

[-Leski]

Writer Graffiti - Destroy shit, get name up, somewhat artistic - very artistic.
Gang Graffiti - Hold territory, rep you gang, very toy - artistic.

The diffrence is the amount put in and what its used for.

Gangs use it to represent themselves and mark out territories, artistic talent isn't that important to it but its there sometimes.

Writers use it to represent themselves (or crews) and markout their "spots", "routes", ext. Artistic talent is important to development and earning respect from one's peers.

What do you see? While being diffrent its still similair, and its both still graffiti.

Now read the wealth of other opinions in this thread and form your own.
Then dont post it.

;)

[EatYourChildren]

the only diffrence is the purpose

regular graff is to show off your shit

and gang graff normally is to just mark your territory

now i've seen some gang shit thats really good and i'm seen some regular graff thats just shit and vise versa

its just the way shit happens i guess

[InkScientist]

dont help this punk out...yall had to learn shit on ur own...so does he...no1 handed me shit...

Agreed.

[einsamkeit]

Some of those ms 13's in old english looks super epic : )

[sketch3]

one involvs selling crack, an cappin fools
the other involvs climbing shit, and using bars

wat the fuck u think is the diffeence

[TidalWave]

A lot of gang graffiti is done a lot for to get in or not get punished so they throw something up there and rep there clique. Hopin not to get smacked by there boss.

[I<3Trendz]

gang is tagging around hood to tell other gangs to fuck off
graffiti is about the art

Heres a neat little article about gang graffiti

[crimateNC]

gang graffiti is the product of a gang marking shit... graffiti crews are the entities that do graffiti. The main difference is that they are different things, crews = people, graffiti = things lol. :P

[Rulz]

graffiti crews actually paint something that should be appreciated
gangs just write (insert gang name here) fo life!

[Laces Out]

Gang graffiti is vandalism.
Crew graff is art.
Thats the most simple way to put it.

[Rots takes your Daughters]

It's all graffiti.

[ForGiven]

gang graffiti is when they mark the telephone outside of the seven eleven and say this is my territory niggga...only we can rob this bitch. Crew graff is like..."hello i write do you?", "well sure...thats me over there on that truck", then they become friends, make more friends, come up with a name or acronym and put their stuff up reppin thier little crew but doin it for the art. not for the rights to the area where the piece resides. lol

[Rots takes your Daughters]

That was the gayest thing I've ever heard

[NICCSACC]

tag banging will get you killed
regular tagging will get you beat up by tag bangers

[Slushi]

Tagbangers usually suck at graffiti and/or can't get up enough to establish themselves.

[-Leski]

Its all graffiti, its pretty much the fucking same thing.
Its there to represent, its vandalism, it ranges from scribbles to things of artistic merit.

Someone should really close this.

[garbage down tha way]

not an advocate of gang graff, but same gangs have illin handstlyes.

[hazetheone]

Gang graffiti is vandalism.
Crew graff is art.
Thats the most simple way to put it.

idiot
its all vandalism its all art
most people hate both of them
gang graffiti is more organized than you can see
go watch the beginning of the san fransisco graff movie i forgot what its called

[crimateNC]

I say just lock the damn topic its obvious the guy has his info.

[SAID]

gangs just claim their territory and throwup their gang.
toys who never made it.
beyonddd toy.

[crimateNC]

lets call them some assembly required aka S.A.R. Toys, means they in pieces lol

[Laces Out]

Gang graff is for a bunch of little kids who think they're though and shit because they watch too much bet.
Its gay.
Sure, go ahead.
Mark your territory.
Feel accomplished yet?
Its gay.

So true, lol. Dem S.A.R toys are gay and sad as shit. makes it so funny. lol.

[NICCSACC]

cholo block letters are waaaaay cleaner than alot of "graff" handys. Id rather do that style... but then I learned that style from the official mufuccaz so I guess Im biased.

[crimateNC]

better than SAR toys is made in china toys lol. cause all of the big toys (ie: gang vandals <notice vandals) are made in china... FUCKING CHINESE TOYS! :P

[Laces Out]

Yeah man.
Just like SAID said.
Haha
Toys who never made it.

[RezOner..]

more like too fucked up from snorting the gas they cant work on their steeze...

[-Leski]

Please Let this thread sink away into the depths of the toy section, stop posting here.

[Casual7ie]

graffiti is graffiti. its all bad. were all just biased cause we think our shit is better cause its prettier and more artistic. in the eyes of everybody else, its all graffiti. the mesage is different, but the means and method is the same.

[THE TOY STORE]

^you are a fucking idiot
this thread is stupid
flat out fucking stupid

[sour-tfk]

are there no mods that can close this garbage?...this is a retarded comparison gang markings and graffiti arent even comparable not even a little bit, and to have anything about gangs on a graffiti site is DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB DUMB and WAAAAY off topic

[Game Ova 07]

yeah i second this shit...^^ close it down

[Apel-MH]

Sorry to reopen, but i thoght i'd like to point out that alot of the new crews around my area are turning ratty as fuck. rolling wrighters for there paints for no reason but they cant be fucked getting a job to pay for some them self.

i think its important to make it very clear to crews like this that, the rest of the graffiti world is frowned upon.

But what really distrubs me is that young guys my age (15, 16) dont know any better. I was taught the ways by old kings of melboruen graff.. when these kids are getting taught by slightly older rats. I also find that alot of these people throw around teh word toy as a insult.

Being a toy is not a bad thing, but what really anoys me is these people are toys. they are nothing but toys. most dont even have a black book, and in most cases poluting the streets with offences ugly crap, that was founded by the arm robb on the 13 year old year 7 two days before.

(sorry to do this i needed to let out some steem)

[Game Ova 07]

dude your in the wrong forum...

[H1TBYNUMB3RS]

Gangs use stock caps, weak unwanted drips no style and illegible letters

[hammer_time]

if your gonna waste time post whoreing super obvious information, in every thread, just leave..

[Klaz]

gangs write to inform and communicate with other people in the gang world and let them know whats happening. whos dead, whos at war, whos in certain gangs etc. although this can overlap with graffiti in places like phillidelphia were their tagging style(you know, the 5ft letters that you cant read or the normal sized letters that.....you still cant read.) evolved from gang graffiti.

then theres writers....who write their name.


end of.

close.

[1nOnly Baze]

ive wanted this thread closed since i first saw it but i dont think the other mods would agree with me....

[hammer_time]

well, seriously if you dont know the difference, dont fuckin paint. not to mention all the vital info is somewhere in the first 2 pages...

[KireOne]

well, seriously if you dont know the difference, dont fuckin paint. not to mention all the vital info is somewhere in the first 2 pages...

serioiusly, gang graffiti is usually more to send a message and doesnt have too much style, just to show who runs the block or whatever.
Graffiti Crews paint cause they love it. plus they do peices and throws with different colors and shit. And they take pride in their peices which take way longer than just a few lines on a wall lettin other gangs know whats good. thats pretty much it :D

[Lunchbox]

yeah, i thought about that right after i posted that, but that makes absolutely nooooooo sense, they should be like, in order, not like 614, then 953 then like 104

it just makes nooooo sense :ph34r:

Seriously, I'm in the 915 but the town a few miles over is 204. WTF?

[SirPartyPants]

who cares. lets pee pee on graves and dance to culture club.

[Lunchbox]

No.

[mano]

When i got pinched they thought i was a latin king cause i did a few crowns in my home town cause i got mad respect from my peeps.

[mekosbc]

Gang graffiti is fuckin ugly

[Alts13]

in general gang graffiti is complete shit, nasty handstyles, no thought to letters just marking territory like a cat would with piss

Graffiti, like we do, is structured, has flow, history we try to make it look good.

Although some cholo gang scripts are pretty cool, most gang stuff is pure shit, glad we dont have that shit here

[mekosbc]

well said leaks & alts

[TrandomnesstwO]

Lol,umm..read above.I just hate it when adults think crews are proper gangs who just happen to paint more.

[mekosbc]

i know like when cops classify graffiti with a crew tag under neath the throwie means "gang related" funk that sheeeeettttt

if thats aimed toward me, im a KING and awriter as well . live with it or not. HOLLA

[CrustOner]

Gangs. Are. Stupid. End of story. I have no respect for anyone in any gang. That's just the way it is. The worst part is that people don't get out of gangs, nor can anyone ever stop a gang completely.

Yes. Some cholo script shit is pretty cool. Is it still gang-related? Yes. Therefore making it worthless to me. It's no longer an art at that point.

[OOPS!]

You talk about how dope westcoast cholo script is and you say they had a hand in the basis of modern graff styles.. what you don't know is westcoast cholos laugh at your LK bullshit.

That was directed at the faggot, not you crust. haha

[NICCSACC]

im off 39th crackerjack humbolt connections AND in little village ho... anyway i aint here 2 beef with preeteens like you. thousands of helpful posts on my part so chill on tha faggot shit like you know me (pray you never meet me...) but really doe, i said my opinion on the topic take it how ya want.

[OOPS!]

Humboldt is a predominantly white community. You hard ass.

PLUS.. you're from humboldt.. and the best you can do is hustle nickle bags? What a faggot. Post some pics of your style please.

[CrustOner]

I know, I went up to Humboldt and came back with a fucking brick that I got for free because my friends are the shit. and the people around there smoke like it's breathing. And you sell nicklebags?

[OOPS!]

Lmao. I bet this kid's from Idaho or some shit just putting up a big ass front. Humboldt is the biggest producer of high grade marijuana in the country, and it's even legal there for medical distribution.. and you hustle nicklebags. Hahaha. Made my night homie.

[NICCSACC]

[BLUNTEDROUNDTHACLOCK]

KING? like what u LK?why aint u respond to me then big homie

[prefer]

hahah lol at the guy sayin hes a king hahah classic

[Kimo13]

holy shit what a dumb question. but ill answer you anyway.

Gangs do a whole lot more shit than graffiti. the point of bein in a gang is not to do graffiti, it's to get rich or get respect or whatever. they do graffiti tags to mark their turf, thats it.

Graffiti Crews exist for the whole purpose of getting up. They watch each others backs, collaborate and help each other with styles, etc. They do graffiti cause thats what their into and to get their names up.

pretty big difference, huh??

[Stuck]

well if u look at graffiti crews such as tko...they pretty much are a gang but with nice graffiti. not just a graffiti gang but a real gang

[ILL STREET BLUES]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rM_fMCAd8qk

[weakfingers]

TKO is like that because of where they live, Not every graffiti crew is gonna act the same but yeah its pretty easy to spot the difference

I was clicked in once, under a 6. Folk Nation. 7-4.

After Larry Hoover was incarcerated, the original Chicago sets split up and moved everywhere, including Houston.

Ages 13-17, set up. lol

But I'm out. =D

[WORLD FAMOUS]

Chicago has NEVER!! opened its books to allow other sets from outside chicago in to FOLKS FOLK sets that have set up in other states are usually looked down on as they tend not to follow folks knowledge to the letter ..
anyways gangs are wack ass hell especially comming from a city where some of the most well known crews are filled with former gang members everyone laughs at the stupidy of gangs ..

And that makes Folk different from who? Exactly, they work the same as everyone else. It's just like if you were to have Tango Blast in Chicago they wouldn't be considered a pure set just because of their roots in Houstone.

But if it's knowledge you're worried about I'm pretty sure I check out cuz.
