Grafitti in Los Angeles in the early nineties

[@MrTachyon3000]

I feel like if Chaka should have put his determination and competitiveness into something more useful he would be rich. I mean the guy worked from 10pm to 5 am; almost fulltime graveyard shift.

[@juan-ksporty7348]

[@theninja376]

Chaka is an idiot straight door knob the cops know exactly who you are do you possibly think they will never figure out who's writing that name lol fucken crack head he needs to get a job and stop smoking rocks .

[@xYouthAttackx]

Chaka is an LA legend.

[@jaydizzle4064]

Sad to see these people can’t see that these kids are having fun and doing what they do to get up they need to see for real also met Chaka once told him he was my inspiration and that man was so happy to hear that

[@giovanniherrera6037]

It’s art

I never understood why people thought grafitti was an "eye sore" it made the bland concrete and brick look more interesting and gave kids something to do other than violent crime and drugs

[@xennial80sxberner]

Generation X is/was much more badass and rebellious than Millennials (they get so much hate for simply being young in a time that has more technology), people just forget that now that so much time has passed. Many adults hated and misunderstood the youth in the early 90s far more than they do today.

[@jesamani75]

The LA style is what we used to imitate here in Tijuana Mexico and migrated south,at the time i thought we were imitating the NY style and that was the roots of graffiti,but what we where doing here is straight up LA style which is different form all others,i would say is the best style of modern graffiti,i don't mean the peaces or the wild style but just the straight letters are awesome and so artistic.

[@jonmacdonald5345]

Jesus Samaniego Do they still be doing the Donkey shows Down there in TJ?? we want to get one of the homies shit faced Drunk and drop him off at one!!!

[@hanksnow8687]

I agree.. LA has some dope work but Paris and all German Graf in the 90s was ridiculous!

[@juan-ksporty7348]

I remember hex one awesome street artist he had the best sketches

[@MizaG115.]

Tagging in la has been here since the 40’s and maybe even the earlier

[@jesamani75]

Mr. 805 yeah I’ve been seeing some old Chaplin and Buster Keaton movies that were filmed mostly in NY and have seen some vintage graf also,with brush of course but still is graffiti.

[@ognavo1]

That old man was actually cool

[@skullsouljah2836]

Yeah and he wasn't opposed to graffiti. He just didn't want it on his property

[@Jayne-n1m]

I love these old anti-graff videos. I get a good laugh every time they say “graffiti tagger” or “vandal”. They always think it’s gang related and they always call it “an eyesore”. It’s funny how people’s perspective still haven’t changed a bit.

[@JosephCee]

Whats so funny about that? Thats exactly what they are. You dumb piece of shit.

[@Jayne-n1m]

lmaoooo so you're an expert on graff culture then huh?

[@JosephCee]

you dont need to be an expert to know that people who do graffiti are vandals. graffiti is vandalism by definition. you utter piece of human garbage. god i fucking hate you.

[@Jayne-n1m]

lol calm down. If I spend five hours doing a piece in a notebook, following all the rules and guidelines to make decent looking graffiti, as well as following all the elements and principles of art, is that graffiti? Yes. Is it vandalism? No. Graffiti is an art form you have to study for years to get good at just like any other art. You have to learn can control, letter and line uniformity and similarity, flow, letter weight, as well as all the fundamentals of art. The shit is mad hard to do. Just because some people choose to do it illegally doesn't mean all of it is just mindless vandalism.

[@Jayne-n1m]

also i think you should see a therapist to work out those anger problems
