'Word on the Street' explores Chicago's graffiti art scene

[@rocksmash3087]

Those are mural artists. Graffiti is not done legally. Those are p walls. Chill spots. Graff is gutter. Different from the murals

[@isotonic9002]

There’s not much illegal graff in Chicago cos the buff is so hard however if when you do see it or find it it’s very well done

[@isotonic9002]

Yep Hall of fames are dead

[@40nights40daystv]

@@isotonic9002facts but recently I’ve seen the city keep some super sick throwies up for a couple months. SPANK is a writer who comes to my mind with one of the better styles rn in the city

[@xvxdwqsdd]

If I owned Chicago I would allow this, the world deserves to be creative and fun not boring buildings, no offense but what’s Chicago without graffiti? Every time I visit in Chicago I see beautiful graffiti. None of its bad

[@isotonic9002]

It would be Chicago, to graffiti writers it’s known as buff city because it has the hardest clean up in the country. Try la ny Miami Paris Milan Rome Berlin London philly if you wanna see graffiti most graffiti in Chicago is legal because they clean illegal graffiti off really quick

Repent and turn to Jesus Christ. There is so much violence in chicago because people are lost and need Jesus Christ. The wages of sin leads to death, but Jesus christ leads to eternal life. Repent of your sins to God in Jesus name and turn away from sin.

[@Eiksu719er]

Oh the dangers of putting up wheat paste posters....

[@monneymaker1335]

Imma be brutally honest to Chicago's not even known for being a graffiti Mecca? They're not notoriously known for hip hop culture that's my opinion they're known for Al Capone and their sports teams.....

[@rgw1380rw]

Chicago's had it's popular emcees like Common, Twista, Kanye West, Lupe Fiasco and Da Brat. I'd also say Rhymefest was also known for being nice with the rhymes.

[@monneymaker1335]

@@rgw1380rw yeah but everybody you named isn't people from like the early 80s not even early 90s really that's like 1999 and up

[@monneymaker1335]

They don't have a hardcore hip-hop history like LA or NYC just stating facts!
