dez

One of NYC's greatest graffiti legends. Now known as "DJ Kay Slay". Now.. this is when he was dope, he has obviusly sold out now to the top 40 rap culture, but before all that he was a true subway crusher. He was in the legendary movie "Style Wars" 1982. A legend, and a hero. Peace

Damn... I give my props to all that cats on Style wars, Skeme, Dez, Trap, Revolt, Zephyr, Min One, Dondi, Shy 147, Iz, Cap, etc, they are all legends and should never be forgotten.

Kurtis Blow

First rapper to ever go "mainstream". Represented the 80's old shcool hiphop scene, when shit was true and all was good and when it was cool to call hip hop, "rap". Nas even stole his song "If I Ruled the World"

etch

Acid Etch bath is an acidic solution used by graff writers in mops and other assorted markers to create a handstyle on a glass surface, in which the acid eats into the window, making that handstyle/tag unbuffable.

I went up and down down market street and etched the shit outta every building window I saw
