a lot of people made a career of copying crook and crome's "all highway" fame idealism- Normel and Baler went "all highway" with hollows from lake worth to boca, then Dose and Ynot did fill ins on the same spots all the way to miami- and finally STV went over every single spot they did from hypoluxo to broward in a single thanksgiving weekend. Crazy to think they could of done all that damage that took others months in a single thanksgiving weekend.
TheTruthHurts said it best- the phrase was coined in ny where other terms like "king of the line" and "all city" were defined and applied. I think what you guys are trying to say who the "King" is- and that in most cases that will always be argued. also being all city might mean something more in Miami than saying you are All city Pompano- but it depends how much you rep your home town. It used to be you bomb the shit out of your hometown and you could easily tell who lives where, but now you can have a beef with the fdot and tag bang entire county highway systems and call yourself "all highway" lmao

Its much harder to create then to destroy.
The point that was being made is that the "All-City" term is something
other people applied to the "Crook & Crome" run.
The "Crook & Crome" story is not about all-city, or all-highway... it was bigger then all that, it was bigger then graff because it effected way more people then just writers.
In reality Iit was just a ton of mostly basic highway bombing spread out over Dade & Broward compressed into a very very short amount of time magnified by an overwhelming amount of media coverage, a record setting bond and a long criminal trial that "Crook & Crome" ultimately won in court thanks to dishonest cops, an honest judge, a pair of expensive lawyers and the 4th amendment and 1 motion to suppress evidence.
Then the storys, rumors, myths, and flat out lies were carried on over the years like a graffiti spook story for the younger generations.
