Style vs Fills

Not sure if it is only an internal debate within Graff Inc or if it is a debate within all of the graffiti community. However we sure debate it from time to time what makes a dope piece. Some say it takes style alone and others say its fills and background.

Style is important, we're not saying it only takes crazy dope fills. The argument is that there are some "dope" writers that have mediocre or questionable style (no, we're not naming any) but can crush their fills and background. Those writers get a lot of credit but why isn't the lack of style recognized? Some of us say that as long as you got your own style and you get up while producing dope pieces if only the fills and such pull it together, than let it be. Others say it's only and all in the style.

This RAYS piece we sort of think finishes that debate (no not really). But! We are as close as ever before, ha-ha.

Dope footage from the classic Styles Wars.  Short video of the outtakes featuring SEEN and DONDI, two legends in the gam.  

No rating needed... just dope

Tuesday's Underground Lowdown

North Americans usually trash Euro style and Euro writers trash american steel.  North Americans usually like the NYC, mid-western or LA style.  We would say that all would agree that Euro style is mostly wack.  However if you ask someone from nearly anywhere in Europe they think North American's are wack for always doing boxcars and no transit.

We would say that influential writers like SWEAR is adopted some (we use that loosely) the Euro style.  We've really enjoyed seeing the two style worlds clyde.

This KCBR video is greater than entertaining.  No matter what part of the globe you sit in, this is an adrenaline pumping video.  We love what these guys do and the steel they crush!  The slogans and  different styles they produce are so fresh!  There are so many different parts that are our favorite we really couldn't pin down one segment.  We happened upon this video by just getting lost in youtube (which is easy to do).  We reccomend this video for sure as it's beyond entertaining.
