These red posters went up last week and are advertisements for the upcoming Red Hot Chili Peppers Album. It is a cool image, and the posters are really well done, but the advertisements capped a lot of street art when going up, like at this spot.
Turns out it was Mr. Brainwash putting them up.
On this box at Melrose and Fairfax, Bankrupt Slut was riding before getting capped by one of these Red Hot Chili Peppers ads. Bankrupt Slut capped back, and here is a shot of Mr. Brainwash himself peeling that poster down.
Sure, a lot of people are not fans of MBW's art, but we have supported his artistic pursuits. But what is going on when he is putting advertisements around the city and tearing down street art to protect those advertisements?!

What a jackass.
ReplyDeleteFuck Bankrupt Slut...
ReplyDeleteeggh...really. im a bankrupt fan, and just lost a lot of respect for mbw.
ReplyDeleteMBW = 1 step in the opposite direction
ReplyDeletembw was never down 4 the art. he copies other artists
ReplyDeleteI fucking told you so...in my rant from the mbw gets sued posts..he's wack.and we are all strokin his ego by talkin about him...anyways..this is a result of bieng wack from the start, never payin dues,and generally bieng a big ass poser about street art,he's the biggest biter in the world and Banksy and Shepard F-artly's "big regret" and "Accidental Joke gone Wild".he gets sued..so you go and get paid by big companies and never get respect cuz you were never part of anything except one big joke and all the people who fell for his joke and bought his recycled handme down "f-ART" are all jackasses and have been taught a big fat lesson...HAH the jokes on all of us..MBW AKA Me Bite Whatever, Mr B Wack. Me Bust Wack!..anyways now maybe all you will stop supporting his so called work---this guys show will be target it looks like..AIW-OUT!
ReplyDeleteIt figured with his relative 'success' at shamelessly whoring himself out on the L.A. streets that he would eventually offer the 'service' for corporate ca$h... But really would anyone expect better from this clown? MBW=Pure trash. Heres hoping Slutty takes the time and goes apeshit all over MBW's new building as a 'Fuck you back'.
ReplyDeleteMr. Brainsquashed should retire.
ReplyDeleteGotta love all the haters' posts. It's like hating mbw is a fucking bandwagon to jump on. What exactly have you done for art in Los Angeles to allow you to judge anyone in the game? Mbw is putting on monster shows that are fun to go to. Why hate on him for that? He's making money, so the fuk what. Go out and do something that makes you money too. I don't get my thirst for art quenched by graf tags here and there. Give me the rubber tire gorilla, the over sized matchbox car, all the over the top shit mbw does at his shows.
ReplyDeleteYou all know this isn't the first advertising campaign he has done, right? He also did the last Madonna album cover and put up posters for that. Although I'm not sure if he was ripping down street art in that instance.
ReplyDeletemaybe he is just a die hard chili peppers fan...
ReplyDeletethey were better with dave navarro...
and heroin...
-w16
quiting heroin is wat got them stuck with Dave Navarro... RHCP shoulda stayed on drugs, and most likely OD'd like true rockstars before becoming old cock gobblers with shittier and shittier albums, but thats just me and my 34 year old ass thinks, growin up with mothers milk and blood sugar sex magic.
Deleteand about mbw, fuct up to tear down art... just cap back... Or someone put that fool down when he's out promoting. Or a good beat down might teach him to wreck others art in pursuit of his own fame or financial gain... but watever.
-pleXus
he deserves hate for this. how can an artist be respected when he is buffing other peoples art. anyone else would get hate for it, so he deserves it just the same.
ReplyDeletei hope bankrupt slut caps the eff out of MBW.
ReplyDeleteSphincter Sprainslosh your as weak as MBW if you fall for his gimmicks..your wack son!..you and MBW can hold hands and skip down melrose together pasting yur silly art--yOU don't have a clue what "REAL ART" is..you probably like kanye west and poof duddy too i bet..your typical cattle.
ReplyDeletembw is a colossal hack. a campaign should be started to fuck up every single piece of his that is ever found--anywhere. he's a fake, a phony and represents everything that street art is not.
ReplyDeleteyou should never mention him again on m&f, ignore the fucker completely. that's the best way to begin erasing him from the culture.
just the thought of this guy makes me fucking sick, he should work in an advertising agency because that is what he actually is.
let's get together on this people-DEATH TO ALL MBW WORK EVERYWHERE. EVERYWHERE!!
I"m down for the above mentioned idea..although I already practice destroying his piece of shit art when i see it..I paste my shit over his sorry ass..all day everyday....his shit won't be missed..trust!
ReplyDeleteYES. Let's keep this going, spread the word to EVERYONE on the streets.
ReplyDeleteAn "artist" that buffs out real artists work and replaces it with an advertisement to make a record company richer. You've seriously got to be fucking kidding me.
SEEK & DESTROY ALL MBW WORK---EVERYWHERE.
Well i always thought of him as a greedy twat
ReplyDeleteYo Bankrupt---go take that spot back. I'm not in LA or I'd do it myself tonight.
ReplyDeleteIN THAT CASE HOW ABOUT "SEEK AND DESTROY" ALL U POSTER FAGS AND YOUR SELF PROCLAIMED CULTURE THAT ONLY EXISTS ONLINE AND IS ACTUALLY INTERNET DRIVEN. TALK SHIT ONLY WHEN YOUVE BEEN A VANDAL LONG ENOUGH TO BE KNOWN AS ONE BEFORE THE WEB EXISTED-SORRY. NOT SAYING THAT U GUYS SHOULDNT DO WHAT YOU DO-NOT AT ALL-KEEP KEEPIN ON,FOR REAL. ITS JUST THAT YOU HAVENT BEEN AROUND OR DEDICATED TO IT FOR LONG ENOUGH TO BE SO IGNORANTLY VOCAL ABOUT IT ON THIS BLOG. 99.9% OF YOU WOULD NEVER SAY ANY OF THIS SHIT TO MBWS FACE OR ANYONE ELSES FACE FOR THAT MATTER. PROVE ME WRONG. ANONYMOUSLY DESTROYING HIS STUFF DOES NOTHING TO HIM--BUT HEY, GO WASTE YOUR TIME ON HATE AND WATCH ALL THE SHIT YOU WILL BRING TO YOURSELF-IM SERIOUS-BUT PLEASE BE MY GUEST YOU GUYS=ITS A FREE COUNTRY.
ReplyDeleteAND NO IM NOT A FAN OF MBW WHATSOEVER-BUT I WISH HIM THE BEST IN LIFE AS I DO ALL HUMAN BEINGS-EVEN YOU SCRAWNY LITTLE HATERS.YOURE ALL PISSED OFF CUZ HES LOADED WITH CASH AND UR NOT.LOL! ITS A REALITY FOLKS-HES NOT GOING AWAY CUZ SOME GUY WHO SAW HIS MOVIE DECIDES TO DIS A POSTER OF HIS-PLEASE.LOL!!
If he didnt exist-there'd be no Gift Shop -and consequently there'd be no Melrose and Fairfax Blog, No gallery shows for the hipster pasters, no awareness of the subject matter itself for tons of people worldwide-thats if you want to actually be honest with yourself about it though-most want to stay in their self made fantasy world-and thats ok too-just be honest with yourselves first.
ReplyDeleteThis anger is really huge... Where did our nice go? (and I have not locked my caps)
ReplyDeleteGrafitti is not 'Nice'
ReplyDeleteIf he's so loaded as people keep saying then why the fuck is he pasting gig posters?
ReplyDeletehe deserves a good slapping http://youtu.be/G_ohWz2sNvk hopefully he'll get 1!!
ReplyDeleteLook at all this anonymous bullshit.
ReplyDeleteFuck MBW. Doing this shit for the money is weak. Its about getting up and about subversion. Its about fucking the system and fucking the "man" in his face.
