aight. lemme throw what ive been feelin. WHY IS GRAFFITTI CONSIDERED VANDALISM?!?! its not like we destroy anything. all we do is make walls and junk look better.

but my question is:

Why is graff so much of a crime and should it be considered a crime? cause instead of fights, we either rap battle, bboy, graff or dj or anything else. . .

[Bboy Solo]

well the thing is, we are defacing private property which is considered a crime...oh well

[F Stylz]

It's considered a crime because we don't get any type of permission to do it; rather we just take it upon ourselves to leave a little piece of ourselves in a certain spot.

It's also a crime to rack, or steal, paint. But that's just part of the game really.

And graff isn't just the multi-color prods that you see sometimes. It envelopes all types of bombing, tagging, and hitting. So, it's not like it necessarily makes things look "better". And really, that's not the objective that I have anyway. Just to get up, get out, and keep a movement alive.

it is a crime, no matter what, treasspasing in most cases "destruction" of objects/items, etc.. no1 can change that, and it will never be legal to break into a yard hit up some steel and run from the cops

u sound like ur new to the graff scene.... maybe im wrong but most us writers(esp. those who paint) know what we're getting into and know that this is a crime.... it should be a crime too, even tho were freeing ppls minds from the everyday comformity were also painting an otherwise clean wall and without permision.... no matter what way you look at it its a crime and damnit i wouldnt have it any other way
