Gangster Disciples Graffiti
Is It New York's Finest
Spraycan art is the greatest
there is
Gangster
Disciples Graffiti is a type of street
art sprayed across the city of New York by the gang that
invented it.
I have only seen the work a couple of times and I can't say
that I could recognize it without someone else pointing it out
to my attention. I do know this though just like the tattoos
they where it's growing in numbers and places.
Rumor has it that they have both street and
prison gangs as well as motorcycle members. Now that's
crazy. Can you imagine a tagger hitting you up on a drive by
spray down. Art Crimes have just gone to an entirely
different level. I would probably call it
graffitti...lol.
It use to be about murales and making sure your nozzles were
not clogged before or after you bombed a train or wall but now
it's about marking territory as the art has turned into symbols
of terror.
It's one thing to catch a case for displaying some
wild
style alphabet writing but it's an entirely
different thing to bring a federal case law to your front
door by mixing gang violence with it.
I think crews are forgetting that graffiti or graffito to
others is just about getting the aerosol out of the can and
onto a platform with some series technique involved. Then you
cap your nozzle and move on to another day and spot.
New York graffiti artist are legendary but the spraycans
they use to use are now falling in the hands of people who only
use the street crimes as a way to mark up territory with signs
and symbols. There is aerografia in that. The only people who
make galleries of that type of work are the police task
forces.
Gangster should not be in the same sentence as graphiti or
tagging for my sprayers.
