What's your opinion on graffiti in the new

own thing; there's a hand full of writers that came out this past year

see what I mean.

shit dun. Bagz, Perp, and Gisah are wrecking shit. I've been seeing
nice shit by Mesoe and Kef. And even though we had beef not to long
ago, Dets and Ls are representin.
SIXCENTZ -
Has graffiti gotten harder over the years?
SOIDONE - In a way..... Cuz as graffiti
gets more trendy and popular, the city and police pay more attention
to it. Its purposely put in commercials now, Music videos, you see that
shit all over Mtv, its almost like everyone's got a tag these days.
And some kids are brainless and write on peoples cars, churches, and
just do stupid shit. Those types of kids are the kids that make it hot.
But if your slick about it, any spot is possible.
SIXCENTZ -
Any stories?
SOIDONE - Heres an old story. A
while back I was hitting up Sterns on Main St. in Flushing. So I had
my paint in my bag, I dropped it off next to the wall and just started
scoping out around the spot. My boy was doin some tags on the gates
across the street while he was looking out for me. I thought it was
chill so I started my outline, then I started filling it in. Then my
boy whistled, so I put down the can and walked away. I looked up and
it was a paddy wagon patrolling Main St. It was chill though, they weren't
really even looking my way. So when they turned the corner I walked
back to the wall and finished filling it in, and started my outline.
All of a sudden my boy whistled again, the cops made a U-turn, so I
put the can down. This time around they were peepin me. So I walked
into a bagel store across the street. I went into the bathroom and took
off my sweater and I just wore this old black T-shirt out. I walked
back to the spot and finished up my outline, I heard my boy whistle
again. This time the cops had one of them spot lights that's on the
patty wagon turned on. So instead of walking away I just sat on the
floor played like I was sleeping next to the door. They rolled right
by me thinking I was a bum, so when they got to the end of the block
I finished up my shadings and triple, and I broke the fuck out.
