GRAY is a 1997 documentary made by Jesse Waugh following an East L.A. graffiti artist whose tag was "GRAY." Mostly shot in and around the L.A. River, this short doc provides a rare glimpse into the activities of a tagger, and it was included in the academic regiment of a course on Chicano Studies at Los Angeles City College.
i remember this video really taught me how tags should look, simple and easy to write, obviously back when i was a toy. i really did learn alot from this video
You're still a TOY.
@@FloChee how do u know
CZcams was around when you started tagging? Haha damn
@@Ante1366 he has no clue. He's just guessing coz he's a bitter guy on the internet
@@mn-lw5qv haha yeah, wish I'd have started earlier tho, guess I was born too late
who remembers that fool saber that did that giant bomb on the la river that could be seen from space that fool got down
roger walls got buffed :/
My favorite was the one one the rail bridge
Shit was legendary
Everyone rememebers saber
Saber or MTA??
Props to gray..he was up all over Boyle heights as well.
This video takes me back to my younger days when I would see active taggers doing live shit in the heart of South Central. I wish I got the chance to meet GRAY...
Its very rare to find old school footage of active taggers, So glad I came across this, lol.
I love my city south central for life 323
He was here in Detroit for years sad too not see him hittin up around anymore
Gray is still up living in Detroit I believe and now he’s runs a big crew (DFW) with some of the best graffiti writers in the U.S.
Amazing tho know, wish we could get all the old school Legends back together with a lot of old school writers too just to make a film
Not anymore hasn’t been active in years I’m from the same hood I miss his tags
People say he's toy but he smashed it in his time . It all about who can get up the most , having style is a plus
GRAY DFW GOK TBK BLA still doing his thing. He'll never stop. True homie right there. Yo KOALA, SKAPE, and BETOE. GRAY says what's up. Much respect for an L.A. Legend and a friend.
KARL DFW GOK
Does anyone remember "Oiler" COI, IFK?
yeah i heard he died years ago....he was up everywhere here in LA....legendary
1980s dude do you know how he passed
RIP
Oiler never died he's back at again wtf
Oiler was just a guest on skills podcast, ☺
Last time I seen him was in 96 on Cesar Chavez. I seen him 2 times, I remember me and my primo asking him what the GOK stand for. He said it was Grays Own Krew hahaha. He was everywhere in DT and ELA.
x213ERx I remember that’s
FIU GO he ran with kid
Gone out krazy
Great piece of Video Jesse Waugh I don't know how the fuck I never ran into this video!! This shit takes me waaaaaaaay Back!! Never saw GRAY again after '96. I even wrote in different spots in the L.A River "Gray where are you? Hit me back" LOL! He was a cool homie. After you got into TKO you stopped writing GOK. Why? TOOMER was the cool dude and a Beast! I remember a '2mer' piece he did and a '2tsie' piece he did behind the sears tower. SOLOE was a funny motherfucker lol. Wonder what happened to that guy. When he would do a piece, he would be a perfectionist! We be like "let's go fucker!" haha good times. Another good dude to me was SPAIR from DFW & TKO. Wonder what happened to him too. If you guys are still around the Los Angeles area, hit me back. Would be cool to hangout again one day.
GRAY and SPAIR back then got me into buying a Walkman and earphones to listen to our favorite cassette tapes! They never left the house without the Walkman!
Good video again Jesse Waugh. I wish I would have recorded some of this stuff from back then. All I used back then were those disposable cameras to snap pictures. I had a FAT ALBUM full of EVERYBODY's pieces who would be known from back then. Now the only memories I have is whatever's left from that album and of course, Google Image lol. There are days were out of nowhere I just want to take a walk to the L.A River just to reminisce. Even the smell of the River is what takes me back! Good times. Graffiti of the 90's was the shit to me. Ok I'm done lol Shout out GOK and K2D! 👍
Thanks! Yeah I love the L.A. River too - it's my spiritual home. I miss it.

+Jesse Waugh Is that you hitting up in this video?
+RememberVietnam Hitting up? If you mean weed then no. In fact, I think marijuana contributed greatly to the destruction of Californian culture.
+Jesse Waugh I agree, Is that you tagging in the video?
This is great seeing such old history nationwide that made its way to the midwest from the left coast. Seeing him emerge even more from the oldschool, while I was just beginning was great. Seeing him build a nice powerhouse crew was impressive. Plus, he's got a control with the can you can see from miles away. Much respect. -4dfw-.
I dig that 90's footage.
Thanks
There were good times. Only Memories now brother. 90's..
GRAY THE LIVING LEGEND A GOOD HOMIE FROM THE EAST SIDE... MUCH LOVE TO THE GRAYSKI .... SALUDOS...

Sick video INSANE WRITERS©️ALF*

Alex Peredia Lol
Lol some people dont understand graffiti especially some graffiti writers all they think writers should do is wild style wild style ur tags cant look so plain blah blah yall just dont get the concept of graffiti fuck style aint what its all about mans getting up
Sometimes the over processed tags are hard as hell to read. To be honest, Gray has the same hand style as a writer that was up in NYC that went by FRAY. In my opinion, Fray had one of the best tags that I would always see back in the 90's. If you check out some classic NYC footage, you'll most likely come across Fray's big tags. His shit was very clean.
Time flies, but the 90's was the shit.
I Remember that Street Tag .. .
NERVEZ OFAK
i met him once near Roosevelt on RTD old school!!!
I smoked weed with him and solo back in the day had a migrane for a day lol

I believe he was back then anyway.
Lol I remember GRAY up everywhere in L.A...my cousin was from NFL CBI...I would ask and ask Fen and Prof to get in CBI at least and they would deny me cause I was younger...then I came across Pelet from FBI LAS and hung around him and I got in FBI lol fun times in junior high man then in high school I got into CND and TON with another cousin...man writing was fun as hell...
Kantus Mook i remember fbi tag on central and johnkronk
E Valladares yo u know a guy name relax from ton crue?

The homie gray from the 90's
Damn what's up with the haters in the comments section? Are they the ones who used to slash Gray's shit out and not leave a name? Ya'll should be old enough to let that shit go already. And everyone calling Gray a toy is a toy themselves. In the mid 90's there were no toys at all. All tags back in the days were dope.
now he here in The HOod Detroit my nigga
That sweet-leaf !
I see greys tags to this day
