[@Izakokomarixyz]

I noticed almost every saber interview he talks about the LA river piece... It's probably the interviewer asking... Come on interviewers, he talked about that piece a billion times already ask different questions!

[@MrOGVanni]

you also gotta understand how big that piece was! it wasnt just any random piece

[@DeathPunk4Life]

He is One of Many Kings, still writin! A true inspiration. One love

[@ciscokid420]

Very inspirational

[@justAsaint90]

he is the man!

[@nahtanish]

Inspirational

[@switzerstudio]

much respect saber .

[@mrcownan]

This guy is cool and all but I felt that his comment on the two types of kid was a bit of a stereotype. Anyone can go out bombing and class shouldn't be a part of that. This type of art is so appealing for the way you can do large scale work to spread a message, but on the other hand i do get what he is trying to say.

[@idgadamn458]

Genius...

[@TheJayRoes]

"If you give up then why live?" Follow your dreams ... all the way through .

[@EddyTorta23]

Wise words

[@jonjones7734]

[@mr.martyr8573]

Graffiti wouldnt be what it is today without this man. Fuckin half the west coast did everything they could to make their shit look like his in the early 2000's. Lol

[@Pittmane]

[@jammyjaime]

"Graffiti has saved lives" haaahaha! Brilliant.

[@GINGIVITISSS]

Anyone else notice who the producer was in the credits?

[@samuraigraffix]

thats what graffiti is, its self glorification. none of us are immune to hypocrisy either. its all good dude.

[@pated1573]

You know graffiti is a art. The only problem that I have is quick tags just where some one writes there name real fast. Just do a piece or something not a quick tag

[@andrewharding924]

It's all about getting up.

[@blackx34]

"the alternative is a lot worst" so much behind that lol

[@5IRAHHHP]

OG SABER

[@xEpikK1NGOgx]

La river here i come

[@xXkillerXx47]

how come he showes hes face?

[@SaintUnitedPS3]

Damn my bro Saber got deep, maybe even 10 Deep (: lol

[@samuraigraffix]

you say that like its a bad thing but why not do both?

[@areola_ayatollah]

Not to dissect this too much because the overall message is good, but typography is a very complex field with much more attention to geometric uniformity. Just the same, calligraphy is not typography. Also, Saber talks about elitism in the art world shortly before describing his celebrity and ultimate council for other graf youth. This video was filled with self glorification. It's all par for the course though, great artists are great dreamers, not necessarily great thinkers

[@theantone100]

I always like revok a little bit more lol

[@DJHEK5]

FUCK YEAH!! SABER ONE MSK AWR THA SHIT!!!

[@frank151]

Amazing video! Great words by Saber. Check out our new FRANK151 Leaders: Jordi Rubio/Montana Colors Interview on our page

[@InfiniteNo]

two reasons at least...one - he says at the end of the video...two because connecting him to the graffiti is likely very difficult to prove beyond reasonable doubt in court...let alone the fact running the case through the system costs more than hiring a bum for minimum wage to throw some boring ass brown paint own it.

[@JEMoNE420]

on his jock haha

[@teakey]

The first kid is a kid who as good opportunities and the second kid has little.

[@zurabgagnidze4575]

its so sad i Drew fukin amazing Graffiti and it was gone in 3 days =(

[@dankjeenyus]

3:21 - 3:37

[@djdz8322]

[@louiscipher2310]

can we be friends

[@wtfthisisstupid09]

Rome'One SOUTHERN CALIFAS GRAFFITI SUR SIDE :.

[@gonzomax7]

now a *artist and muralist who uses graffiti aesthetics

[@AsianpuzzyNinja]

Who said you can't do a piece without learning how to do a quick tag first? That person is ignorant! I never did quick tags....its just a waste of time! Its called talent.....just like with music, dancing and e everything else....either you have it or you dont

[@sloantome8053]

[@frank151]

Ashton Kutcher

[@alchoholic272]

SNEAZE LOK

[@oscxr7687]

Get up on streets not KZbin

[@LegalizeTheNuclearBomb]

Talks about how graffiti isn't elite and then differentiates two different types of kids saying who should and should not graff...

[@xmanestrada1389]

there nothing wrong with being the first kid....

[@TheToyKiLLeRRR]

Saber=know in spanish

[@groezy]

Hitler also pursued his dreams, and when he failed, he had no more reason to live.

[@thatssbuttery]

You cant paint stuff with great meaning if it means nothing to you.

[@oliebaba]

first kid sounds like a black comedian doing a white dudes voice and the second kid is a chicano.

[@iL0VEc4ndy1]

I thought saber died. shot in the back of the head?

[@blackx34]

I can say whatever I want its my opinion hipster

[@Boots-bh3cx]

Just fabricated the youth with the example,two kids

[@BattlegroundVictory]

at least Saber is still serious about his work... David Choe, on the other hand, has become a wannabe celebrity Joke...

[@TheSotragic]

You need some learning boy.

[@ANTITODO323]

this foo is all leafing with his hands.. all wrong

[@jammyjaime]

OMG what a waste of time. Get a job.
