Cope2 - "king or snitch ?"

Cope2 - "kings destroy" full graffiti oldschool movie
Cope 2 is one of the world's greatest graff bombers ever to spit aerosol. There are many graff writers in the world but few can ever be considered kings. Well, you are about to get a closer look at one who is an absolute emperor. This brother is not only one of the great kings of the throw-up but also in wild style pieces, too, as you are about to see.
I came across this documentary called, Kings Destroy, that I have been missing out on ever since it came out on VHS. It is a fantastic documentary by Abstract Video the international Hip Hop community will absolutely enjoy. There is still not enough documentaries and biographies on the old school and its pioneers which is why we need more done like Kings Destroy. This video brings a lot to the table for people to see the rise, life, and rebellion of one of the South Bronx's great legends in the art of graff writing.
You got to watch this and open up your skull and heart for the original writer experience fresh from the Bronx. Understand this is a video about Cope 2 but the brother rarely talks about himself alone. He is often giving props to everyone in his stories as well as including many of his legendary friends in the documentary. The simple reason why is because the brother never forgot his roots and where he came from. Cope 2 is the true example of keeping it real. I was very happy to see some of the greatest pioneers in Hip Hop showing up even if it was just a cameo. Through out this video, Cope 2 and his long time friends are trying to pass down history to everyone who loves Hip Hop and graff. All you got to do is listen.
Kids become Kings in this excellent documentary with many special guests like KRS One, Flavor Flav, JSon, Fat Joe, PJay, Chico 80, Trap, Seen, T Kid, Kase 2, Rakim, Comet, and Daze just to name a few. It is definitely a classic video you must own in your DVD collection. It tightens up much history after what Style Wars has started because this is a personal tale from ghetto veterans who got dirty daily. Kings Destroy so they can build ill communication that makes sense out of non-sense. When you hear the brother speak all you can say is "word."

[@morgengabe1]

Kinda pointless to call the documentary "King or Snitch" and fail to discuss the snitch part.

[@theapotheosisofgdot2294]

it's not the real title someone renamed it

Cope 2- 0 whole cars- 10 ugly silver T2Bs in the 80s- 40 ugly panels in 80s - and maybe 500 ugly trowies in 80s. Makes a comeback in 1997, does 6 ugly clean trains with vandal squad cop Joe Riviera filming him, does 25 scrap trains and post them online and in interviews posing as real stuff..Does 25 youtube videos claiming he is the most incredible NY Bronx legend ever, and 1000.0000 + internet toys believe that bullshit.. Next he snitches on, Ket, Ovie, Utah, Ether, How and Nosm and probably even more, and have some of them in jail for serious time, please anyone explain to me what is king about this delusional piece of rat shit called Cope 2.... Just to put the record straight..

only reason i clicked on a cope video was cause of the title king or snitch? where is the snitch part? dam

[@ethansage9940]

cope isnt allowed into tuff city anymore . hes wanted in the bronx by many people. hes snitched on many writers...

[@DAlienzombie]

Thats some shit, part of them, they' ve been co-working terrorists, so. That is not snitchin but patriotism. Or just *doing the right thing* YO. Word. Been there. Feds on back. R.I.P. Cardi from the late 90s n stuff... GREEN COBLOXD // E --A-- purp

Damn...SMH

[@Conman2413]

I grew up in that Era, 55 years old now. All these whole cars done by the greats- respectfully, and none of them gave the vandal squad a few toys to mess with? I don't know what Cope did, or didn't do, but I respect his longevity.

[@Killacorn]

Rappers today dont know shit about Hip Hop

[@richardnunez3474]

Killacorn rappers today have literally no connection to the art form. Just concerned with their image, money, chicks, and talking imaginary street hustle that they never lived. Rap is the small piece of it. To bomb beautiful art takes a lot of dedication and constant diligence with no pay, just undying love of the art form.

[@clickbait5714]

Trump said graffiti is the devils work but he'll let you paint the Mexican side of the wall.

[@tommypolizzi8924]

Back in the day on Staten Island there was some dude who wrote KID and he was up everywhere. He then 20 years later I started seeing his stuff up again . He was not a guy who bombed like cope he just was up everywhere . Going over the Gothels bridge from Staten Island KID was up on this water tower that was as high as the bridge . I still have no clue how he was able to get up on that shit there is nothing there to even hold on to . Crazy

[@MrLarryDallas45]

KID & PK. Killed shit for years, & continue to do so.

[@anthonycharles8920]

tommy polizzi mos def!! that water tower spot KID is fukin crazy!!!

[@schirmer4840]

tommy polizzi the guy in PK?

[@DAlienzombie]

Yo, they' ve been incredible climbers, I whitnessed them going up that bridge. Unbelievable how they moved. Like somewhere between silver lion, ape and professional free climber. One posse even did artistic moves while going up there, The Color. Some rappers in NYC n connex should know.

[@cococock2418]

KID was ass as an artist but he got up higher than anyone.

[@mobaklava6614]

dude got caught multiple times yet was always back on the streets the next day. you tell me...

[@TGUNNER79]

Because he got the people he was caught with to use his lawyer and to pay his lawyer fees without them knowing..

[@trustori2407]

HE AINT BEEN CAUGHT A FEW TIMES U PHUQQIIN LIAR🤡

the beats are just amazing music makes it so much better

[@boatx22]

36:39. This documentary takes place in 1997, and its mostly about the old days of the late 70s and early 80s with subways. In the time of 1997 the freights golden age is just beginning, and they're looking back at the subway golden days, today we could look back at 1997 just as they're looking back at the 70-80 area, trippy shit

As a Graff enthusiast its this documentary is sad. Graff is becoming a dying art, I mean I traveled through Brooklyn, and it was empty, when it used to be fresh. Mad tragic. #BringBackTheBomb

COPe is the one artist that caught my attention at 3years old. I began practicing his signature throw up when I was 4. I began calling my self COPE III when I was 8. COPe 2 is an all city king in my book.

15:30 - Yo...that's like DJing. Cats now a days just download whatever they want. Back in the day you would have to dig at multiple spots. To have the actual piece of vinyl on your decks is a much better feeling than having the mp3. I appreciate the ease of the download only because I remember the work I had to put in.

[@user-hg4wm8sy4w]

damn og Graff was there a option of paint back in those days I def was not gonna pay for that paint upgrade

[@chrisgould101]

its like im bombin mAgazines'' lol when he said that immediately reminded me of having to see all his shit on GTA4, it didnt just annoy me cos of one guy but there was only like 5 variations of the letters and his different throwups , and man they were all the dsame size

bruh he did resident evil characters. thats the rawest tag ive ever seen. Resident evil is my shit.

Was such a shitty person back then He used to go over beautiful pieces with a trash throwup 🤦🏽‍♂️😭

[@stik-oneinternalaffairs6073]

COPE2 IS A STR8 UP, HE SNITCH ON HIS BOY OVIE

[@atlemartoresonfjeldstad4557]

What`s weird to me is that he could release a graff movie showing his face while talking about illegal activity and only censoring his face while painting trains.

@Kris 214 Cope is a notorious snitch, I have Puerto Rican family in NY, I guess from his neighbourhood. My uncle has mentioned he's a known snitch multiple times, I assume they knew him at some point.
