Robbo vs Banksy- Graffiti Wars FULL VIDEO

[@ericmcclain1869]

Everyone has kind of underestimated robbo. A majority of people say he just paints his name and that is all. When he did the Zoe kravitz free hand painting, that just shows how talented he is and what more the man could do. RIP Robbo. You were a phenomenal artist and I hope some of your work forever remains on the walls in England and wherever. Peace from America, brother.

***** Plenty of graffiti artists are capable of making high quality work like street art but it's hard to do a masterpeice on an illegal wall without getting caught. I totally agree with you though.

[@Nevi234]

nguyen danny banksy painted all over an ICONIC piece, dating back to the 80s when graffiti was booming, effectively destroying one of the oldest graffiti pieces ever. Hell, painting over ANYONE'S art is a huge dick move. So no, Robbo didn't get "butt hurt" easily. He had every right to be mad. By that logic, Banksy was being immature too when he responded. Also, "good street art" is subjective. I think Banksy's shit is just that; shit. He has some nice pieces but most have been plagiarized.

[@Nevi234]

nguyen danny It wasn't damaged, it was COMPLETELY PAINTED OVER. Do you not understand the significance of a 30 year old graffiti piece? It's like if someone painted over the Mona Lisa(*not comparing Robbo to da vinci, they are miles apart in talent, just for the sake of an example*) and you just told the artist to "recreate it". The sentiment is gone, it's not the same and doesn't hold the same value.

[@elizabethmiller8083]

As an art major myself, it always hurts to see art damaged that has taken hours to create. Banksy painting over Robbo's work was more than a dick move. By painting over the last remaining work, he destroyed the entire history of Robbo, making it almost like he didn't exist until he came back out of his retirement. He wasn't "butt hurt" by any means. What gets me the most is that Banksy's art is considered public art now, whereas Robbo was doing his work illegally. Bansky can now free hand though he chooses to continue stenciling.

Banksy is like the living embodiment of gentrification, friendly reminder his net worth is around $20 million dollars.

Robbo tried to be an original, and in the end he had hopes of making money from his art and commissions, not from tagging.

[@cannibaljohnson.2409]

I can see from both sides. Robbo didn't need to put Banksy on blast, even if it was true. Because at the end of the day they both know what happened. But on the same ticket Banksy didn't have to do that to his piece. He could've dissed him in another way. But with that being said I understand why Banksy went back and showed his respects. I mean after beefing for that long you gain a certain respect or maybe even a liking to each other. It's like batman and joker. They needed each other. Robbo went to the fullest extent and bombed internationally and was widely respected. Every graff artist strides for that. But also Banksy even though he was doing stencils got to the point where his city went as far as to preserve his art. That is also something I would personally love. Because graff is temporary. Just a major fact in graff. Your work will either get buffed or get ragged on by another graff artist. And if you can get paid for what you love to do then aye. Do your damned thing. Regardless I feel as the graff community we needed them both. Respect to Banksy and r.i.p robbo. You both are legends and im super glad to have witnessed the two of you, even if it was beef.

[@rickstansby2284]

I agree with most of what you say, but I find it funny when people say that stencils are cheating, or aren't as hard. Stencils and freehand graffiti are just two closely related artforms, and only very talented artists do either one well. I think both are true art. Just as classical music and rock and roll are two related artforms. Some people only acknowledge one or the other, some claim that Rock isn't true art, but it's easy to see that both are valid forms of art, that can be beautiful and moving when performed by virtuosos. RIP Robbo

Robbo shouldn't come of like that . He's not entitled . He got pissed why ? Cuz Banksy didn't know him ?. Wtf ?. That's stupid . But different style

[@followthemoney6469]

Good documentary thanks

[@dandrechesterfield5411]

Wouldn't it be amazing if Le Rat is Banksy

[@minx8334]

banksy is from massive attack

[@madiis18account]

In Melbourne we celebrate street art (including writing), we have a lot of places in the CBD where you can paint legally, artists travel all around the world to paint here. This is pretty interesting to watch.

[@AnmlPeeweeIsHere]

Maddi Holmes Well, You guys have Sofles, one of the greatest graffiti writers in the world right now.

Shepherd Fairey also uses stencils on his posters

So apparently graffiti is only OK if rich wankers want to pose next to it...

44:13 this shot is amazing ahaha, cops walking by Robbo standing next to a tag of his own and the piece where Robbo and Banksy are beefing about. Beautiful. King Robbo!!

Is robbo dead?

He died in 2014

[@frankrizzo6289]

Writing and street are different entitites. Different rules apply. The media keeps on trying to blend the two together. Give it up, real writers will always be around. Believe that.

The Banksy piece edited to fishing for street cred was dope as fuck

[@firestorm996]

Wow, wow, wow. Stunned by the way this finished. Lost any and all respect for Banksy, who sounds like quite a nasty piece of work. RIP Robbo, a truly talented artist (unlike some)

[@gromitpesley]

Little prat. Just as robbo was about to have his art exhibition he’s obviously murdered by that cunt.

[@danyosaite8602]

THEY DIDN´T SHOW THE MOST IMPORTANT PART IN THE WAR BETWEEN THEM BOTH!!! In the end, Banksy has restored the graffiti of robbo to show him respect after all.

[@CMDXuXa141]

they showed it in the end

[@rickstansby2284]

@@CMDXuXa141 In the movie I didn't see the one where Banksy repainted a monochrome version of the original 1985 Robbo, with a spray can candle. He did this while Robbo was laying in the hospital in a coma. I thought that was really respectful..

[@yeti123]

Yeah but which would you rather have up on your wall?

Robbo

[@TKOTRUSTKNOWONE]

I am from San Diego, I painted in the late 80's early 90's...Back then if you used "stencils" or "tape" you were considered a "toy".I understand times have changed and so has technology.I respect Banksy's work he has talent and he is very creative.Very good documentary!!! Rest easy Robo....now you can paint the real heavens

6 years later, I come back to this documentary and this comment is one of those that are very warming..

If you like Banksy then I've got some great "art" for sale that my 6 year old niece made in her coloring book, she was even able to color inside the lines without using a stencil #TeamRobbo

This is by far the most subjecktive documentary i've ever seen. This has nothing to do about the Graffiti war, this is just Robo Propaganda, they only interview artists who side with Robo. Sorry for bad english

I am a fan. I am from North Carolina USA , which is not exactly his normal fan base. What is normal though? I have several tshirts with copies of his work on it and plan to purchace more. I love his work!

RIP Robbo 🫡

[@Mazzah96]

So this was essentially, "Fuck you Banksy, your works are unoriginal and easy to make and you're an evil person. But King Robbo and the "actual" graffiti artists are above you in everyway because their style involves them plastering their name everywhere humanly imagineable with no meaning behind it." The documentary. That's what it came off as. I enjoyed seeing Robbo's work, I enjoyed learning about Blek, I think they have really interesting pieces. I still think Banksy has some of the most thought provoking pieces up in some of the neatest places around. I think he's great. Blek had up really interesting portraits in areas that were beautiful, but they weren't necessarily statements in themselves. I think Robbo's signatures were really interesting. I think Banksy makes some awesome, interesting looking, statements wherever he sees fit. They're all cool. RIP Robbo, and I'm glad Banksy restored your original piece under the bridge.

[@Freelancer4tehwin]

Morty The thing is, the complaint is, that a piece of art, which was already heavily vandalized to the extent that saying it was "still there" is ludicrous, was incorporated, without the permission of an artist who had dropped off the map from any outside perspective, is wrong. But, Blek using Maria and Child, was okay? And Blek, someone who was an art student, who should see the history, talks about the idea of originality and style, but misses the fact that art is made up of movements, like Seurat and Signac pioneering pointillism, only for that cheep hack Van Gogh to go and paint a self portrait in the style. Or like dismissing Van Meegeren as a total looser, despite being such a good forger, that he was put on trial for selling cultural artifacts to the Nazis, only to be acquitted of that charge, by having it demonstrated that he forged, to extraordinarily high quality, the Vermeers he'd sold. Such high quality, that his was considered the finest Vermeer in the world by some.

Can't believe it's been almost 10 years since Robbo's death. REST IN PEACE ROBBO

[@ccrystal1024]

All that robbo does is tag his name. Banksy actually has meaning behind his artwork.

[@lwlakksjd]

people should really respect both banksy and robbo, because they are both brilliant artist's

[@shoshone1018]

Really sad ending.
