We have been trying to sit back and not say anything at all, but 86 needs to get called out for putting shitty 'art' on the streets.
Maybe 86 only watched 'Exit Through the Gift Shop' and not 'Wild Style', so they never learned the rules of the streets. But if you're gonna cap someone, you've got to do it better.
The fact that 86 has been capping real art, street art that actually looks good and has some thought put into and good placement, like Leba and Obey, is flat out wrong.
And maybe no one has told you guys, but your stuff looks like shit. Real shit. Real bad. And the way you have been spreading this crap around the rooftops is embarrassing.
Go watch Wild Style and learn the rules of the game. If you can't do it better, don't cap it. And, just for you guys- if you can't do art better than what you are doing, don't do it at all~
Someone once said that it is better to keep your mouth closed and let others think you are a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt. The same could be said here. You have us convinced. And the rooftops of Melrose are suffering from it. Please, do us all a favor and get '86'd'.
in agreement entirely
ReplyDeletehell yeah, fuck 86ed! you're really gonna make the shittiest stencils ever, and then cap some of the best artists in LA? someones gonna get hurt...
ReplyDeleteAgreed!
ReplyDeletedamn, some harsh words here M and F. who are you to tell someone that they arent worthy of doing art? pretty lame. yeah maybe they dont know the respect of going over other work, but to call the work shit is just unecessary. stop capping ppl 86 but never stop doing art
ReplyDeleteNO DEFINITELY STOP DOING ART THIS IS ABSOLUTE WACK BULLSHIT
ReplyDeleteThe work IS shit, anonymous--it's called an opinion. And yeah, 86, please don't stop doing art--it only makes the rest of us look that much more legit
ReplyDeleteCapping, spot jacking, and all that other stuff DOES NOT EXIST. I thought this was a blog where I could look at cool pics of ANY TYPE of art and just observe peacefully. Now it seems there's no way to post street art on the internet without becoming a CRITIC. M&F is a great blog run by super cool peeps, but this article goes to show that as much as we want to be "free" from rules and shit, we're still taking sides. Have Banksy and other "legends" set a "standard" for street art? I hope not. Don't be scared to do what you want, cause' it's all that will ever make you happy. - FFFF
ReplyDeleteFFFFFF FUCKIN SAID IT RIGHT!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt never hurts to try to improve.
ReplyDelete86 is TRASH! maybe he just saw BEAT STREET and is trying to be like SPIT??? Dont let RAMO catch him in a Train Tunnel tho..... hahahaa
ReplyDeleteTwo points:
ReplyDelete1. Capping people is Fucked up, Yes.
2. Telling people Not to make art. No.
Seriously, That is not something you should Ever tell people! The only way to get better is to practice, hope to see your shit on a blog and hear what people have to say. Damn! that is cold.
Don't watch wild style. Just bail. No one needs to watch those old movies to understand respect. Call me old but respect is half of the game.
