Trelik and Ben are the only real stuff on here. Bring in Tox, 10Foot, Oker, Ofske!
Banksy is not a graff writer.
he used to be
funny talking about Banksy and Eine as number 1 and 2 most famours writers in London. Whilst i don't question that, Eine earnt the respect of the hardcore scene before moving into the street art scene, has continually stood up in defence of the movement, even to the extent of standing as a character witness in defence of Tox at his trial, continues to respect the work of underground artists, and has homed his skills across a lifetime of graffiti from illegals, trains, legal walls to stencils and full productions.
Then you have Banksy who rose to fame out of nowhere after a short failed stint as a hardcore writer. Never painted any trains, has zero can control and only turned to stencils because his freehand painting was so awful (as witnessed at 2:11 with the red throwup), has continually fucked off the hardcore scene, going as far as to war with one of London's most respected oldskool writers and stencil over one of his and London's earliest surviving pieces (#camdenlock, #TeamRobbo #RIPKINGROBBO), become an overnight worldwide success with the added bonus of immunity from the law whilst others go down for multiple year sentences... I don't blame his success on any dislike of him, you take whatever life gives you, but all said and done, if i'm choosing out of the two of them, I know who I rate as number 1.
Agree with most of what you said, but Tox? LOL - He was a fucking toy. Used to always see his shit reaches all over the northern line. Never even did a piece in his life. Reaches were literally the worst I've ever seen. He wasn't like Enzo who absolutely destroyed the northern line with an etch on just about every single window, of every single carriage, of every single train. Lol @ Banksy too, he ain't even a writer, just does his stencils everywhere and promotes himself on social media. If he ever went on tracks (which he wouldn't dare) and bumped into DDS he'd get jacked in about 2 seconds. Real writers - Slam, Spoe, Cosa, Zonk, Zelda, Zomby, Fume, Teach, Lush, Diet, 2Kold, Neka, Wins, Vamp, Met, Krept, Joke, Sub, Rainman, Bozo, Got2, Rudah, Surf, Seal.
Your definition of a 'toy' is your own, but Tox is well respected within the scene for what he achieved through over a decade of carnage on the underground. He's held in high regard by nearly all of London's most respected writers many of whom you already mentioned. He spent many years firmly sat on the number 1 spot for the BTP's most wanted list and forced respect after continually getting up across the network in the most hard to reach places for over a decade and is still well seen to all the proper hardcore that walk the tunnels and underground places of the network. You're right that Tox didn't meet Ezno's standards with an etch on every northern line window, instead at one stage he had a tox tag on nearly ever carridge undersiding across the entire network on most lines. That's no bullshit talk to people that know, he wasn't set in DDS for nothing.
ur a toy haha in graff a toy has nufn to do with skill its experience. tox is not a toy. u play with toys no1 could play with tox
you know nothing
do your research - Tox embodies the pure essence of what Graffiti is. your mums a toy,
Banksy most famous in London pffffft
KING ROBBO 👑
The media always say Banksy is from London, when he's really old skool Bristol writer 3D, from the group Massive Attack.
Lol no he's not
He’s definitely from Bristol
All street art bull ... hardly any real graffiti shown in this video .. poor poor poor
10 FOOT IS NOW NUMBER ONE IN LONDON
10FOOT is a beast. The guy must go bombing basically full time, every night. There’s barely a train bridge within the M25 that he hasn’t hit, his coverage is insane. TOX was ridiculous in the late 00s, but I think maybe 10FOOT has gone even bigger in the last few years.
if it aint letters its gettin ragged sry artworld
This isn’t graffiti
From the thumbnail I thought I'll be waiting Vinnie Jones
neden türkce altyazı yok
banksy the toy
I met inkie when hitting a tag in Bristol 😂
That's not graffiti it's art
Don’t use astro caps too fade just a can rinser 😂🤦♂️😤
Nothing but love for Inkie but - A he ain’t from London... and B- 99% of those he is discussing are not from the London writing scene... it’s street art nonsense... and another FACT is the first pieces done in London was in East London and that’s fact... trouble is London is awash with outsiders whom weren’t there!
Toy af
horrible!!...these graffiti are just garbage...the worse of this society..
If you think graffiti is the worst of society, you are ignorant 😂
