It’s my pleasure to introduce you to Mike 171 - he is widely considered as one of the founders of modern-day graffiti that you know (and see) across the world.
I recently met Mike 171 and his team in NYC and I was blown away by his story. He’s still going at it in his late 60s! I think you’ll find him inspiring - when you find a passion in life, everything else is secondary.

Thanks Mike, hey ling ass Cornbread said he was the first writer, i called him out on that, now he pushed the date back saying he started writing in late 1800's.... LOL...
Drew, in my opinion, this is the best you've made. If you ever need an old man to hang with at the world's best amusement park (Cedar Point) I'm your guy.

Cornbread may have something to say about this?😆
Great to see these guys
Cornbread & other Philly graff writers are also one the founder of modern day graffiti movement in Philly not NYC 2 separate urban street art scenes both being created in the same by young urban kids, all youth culture much respect to all the founders of modern day street art in NYC and Philly!
Has there been a more popular writer named "forum" in the entire history of nyc graffiti?
Before Mike 171, there was Taki 183. Taki 183 is the FOUNDER of Graf in NYC. No disrespect to MIKE. Just stating OG facts.

Hello!
Very cool video about USA culture
Thanks!
Spirituals, Ragtime, Jazz, Country, Gospel, Bluegrass, Folk, Rock n Roll, Doo-Wop, Soul, Funk, Disco, Punk, House and of course Rap and Hip Hop---all enjoy well documented African American roots coupled with undeniable Black American influence---whether directly or indirectly..
Latinos -- Puerto Ricans particularly -- please explain how you co-created or co-invented yet another installment in the legacy of Black Musical expression known as Rap and Hip Hop, yet didn't co-create or co-invent any of the elements or ingredients of the 14 or so African American music forms that preceeded it? Or why you were nowhere to be found and absent during the creative and inventive foundation outlining the forms of African American musical expression, brilliance and greatness throughout, or even prior to the previous 14 or so African American music forms that are mentioned above? Yet then, all of a sudden--and out of nowhere, lying latinos and jamaicans slither along and falsely claim latinos and/or puerto ricans and jamaicans co-created and co-invented Rap and Hip Hop 50/50 half n half (which is the evidence-free and utter nonsense being peddled by Dr. Derrick Colon, radical latino, Fat Joe and numerous other un-informed and envious latinos---which are claims that latinos never mentioned, verbalized or asserted during its inception in the early 1970's)---latinos claims of "50/50--half & half co-creation and co-invention just don't add up---it makes no sense and are increasingly coming under heavy scrutiny which is leading to these claims being easily debunked--widespread. Nice try though latinos, puerto ricans and jamaicans.
Make it make sense Latinos
Second
First
This isnt graffiti man, this is street art, please stop confusing the two as one
Either way your works beautiful
This is absolutely graffiti.
This is graffiti
Come on man, graffiti is the true name for this art. Calling it by its name is the biggest respect you can give its artist.
