RE: Graffiti is not an Element

For a follow up to a post we made earlier this year.  We stumbled upon this article;

uk.complex.com/music/2015/04/grandmaster-flash-hates-on-graffiti

He states, "You know what bugs me, they put hip-hop with graffiti. How do they intertwine?".  He was backed up by some old school NYC writers too like, Blade & Fargo.  Also, if you go back and read our post;

You will see SEEN backs it up in his book.  Our argument reflects exactly what Grandmaster Flash was saying too. Besides coming from the same area at nearly the same time, how do they relate?
