    I knew Phase 2 from elementary school , PS 140 in the Bronx . He lived in 965 Tinton Ave , along with Thomas Lee , (Original LEE163). in the Forest Houses. We went to school together .We used to go to this old bookstore on 165th. This Old White Man had magazines used and new , and used and returned comics for 3 to 10 cents. Mike was deep into Marvel art , and we were 11, in 67. He would have like 10 comics .He was always doodling on paper, and around that time he started the square version letters and then they became the bubble letters. He used to mention a Lonnie , I thought he was a cousin of his , but one day he said he wanted to be called Lonnie Wood. Period. From that day on ,he was Lonnie Wood. Mike was a smart and sensitive dude. 'Lonnie ' was his creative side .Phase 2 was his genius.

    Im kind of a beginner in graffiti i do know stuff but i be thinkin is there meaning behind numbers in your tag like resk12, rake43, phase2, can2 and others. Just wondering lookin for answers to endless questions about graffiti so i can learn the "basics"

    • @jewelertv980
      @jewelertv980 Před 4 lety +1

      The reason some people put numbers behind there name is for two reasons. It was there street that they lived on or there was someone before them that had that name first. Example, KASE 2 or CASE 2 (The same person) and KACE UMXS (He was first). The both of them are from the Bronx. TOTEM TC5 and Totem 2 TATS Cru. But not everyone follows those rules. Example, PSYCHO TC5 and SEEN UA (He also wrote) PSYCHO. Here's a good example, SEEN UA started writing in 1973 and LIL SEEN (SEEN TC5) Started in the late 70's. My Name has a number because there was a guy who wrote it in there 70's and I started in the 1983. If you want a name make a list of names that you like and then go to "SUBWAY OUTLAWS or AT149ST" and check the list of names.

But I can't find a full photo of it anywhere! I did find a website where someone created a montage of a few cars and published it on a film strip- but that's not what I'm looking for. Something more comprehensive! Can you help me find that- does it exist?

      Henry Cruise like I said originally- hip hop and graffiti weren’t associated until Henry chalfant it was in style wars. Many graffiti pioneers black or white do not feel there was an association. Black and Latino writers were more exposed to the early stages of hip hop since there were MCs having parties in schoolyards. It wasn’t on the radio yet so many didn’t know it existed. There is a punk rock- graffiti connection. MACKIE aka HYPER- RTW was a drummer for the cro-mags. REVS even put out a punk rock album (but that was a little later) It’s not fair to hate on SEEN because he didn’t like hip-hop. DONDI listened to Rush, ZEPHYR listened to Zeppelin and the Grateful Dead. Hip hop didn’t hit mainstream until Rappers Delight and by then IN, BLADE, COMET, VINNY, AJAX had already painted thousands of pieces. Everyone has their own unique history.
