[The Dust King]

unpin this hipster bullshyt

so 5points which been around before hipsters needs to but all the caucasians raping your boro and playing gay electronic music on the radio is fine and not related to hipsters?

you think the nikkaz who do graf listen to cheif keef, pharell, kanye, drake, asap?

you one dumb nikka.

I think it looked awesome. If it's that important and that widely appreciated, couldn't the people pool their resources and buy the building themselves? Then it could be there indefinitely.

They have to start owning their property and start putting the right people in office. I think it's too late though to save the past

 

[IPunchFaces]

who caaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaresssssss . i know i dont give a fukk if u wanna see real art please go to MoMA

This is a hiphop message board breh breh. You might be a youngin but do you not know the Elements of Hip Hop???

BBoying
MCing
Graffiti
DJing

This is everything to do with hip hop and your bytch ass over here talking bout who cares?? You obviously do enough to come in here and say something...if it was nothing you wouldn't even have opened the thread.

The music that you listen to daily...came up from this...and you don't care?? That just doesn't make sense to me.

So.........they're constructing another spot for graffiti artists to replace the original 5-P?

the article sadi 10,000 square available on the new building ..... but it looks like way more square feet of grafiti on there.... ..

 

[TLR Is Mental Poison]

Why did they paint it over if they were going to demolish it anyway?

Wow thats grimey, Bloomberg prob put in the order personally

"fukk THESE ******STHTH!!!!"

 

[Mike Ock]

While everyone was there sobbing , and writing on oaktag and taping it to the wall...

I straight up tagged up on the wall ...

I ain't have time to get all artistic and shyt. It was cold and po-po was lurking...

 

[newworldafro]

wasn't this building in the the last Spiderman movie at the very end, or some recent action movie ... or was that some place different

 

[observe]

Old Graff gets painted over with new graff all the time..I'm sure 5 points isn't all original peaces..that place will be filled up with more graff in a few years so it doesn't even matter

 

[Nahmeanz]

Let's be reality here. The same people complaining about 5 Pointz being knocked down are the people who will be living in these luxury condos being built over it.

fukk that 4 elements of hip-hop talk, no one in the hood give a fukk about graffiti or breakdancing no more.

 

[Kalik]

No hip hop entrepreneur could have bought it?

 

[atlbound]

No hip hop entrepreneur could have bought it?

too busy buying Tom Ford clothing & rubbing elbows with Europeans

 

[Ronnie Lott]

they have a building in San Francisco that is designated for graffitti. (nothing compared to 5 Points ) But alot of artists have gone to SF to bomb shyt

(not on the same building, i just wanted to post this) This is also in SF

 

[MoneyTron]

No hip hop entrepreneur could have bought it?

Owning a building that has people in and around it everyday is a big liability. I definitely wouldn't want that on my hands unless it was commercial/residential.

Sad to see it go though.

 

[Rarely-Wrong Liggins]

That's art son.

I have pictures of pieces from five points going back years and there's always been amazing graffiti there.

I think many people don't understand though. That's pretty much the mecca of graffiti in America and quite possibly the world. It was commissioned and people were allowed to do art at Five Pointz soit was legal and approved by the previous owners. It was only when the building was sold to outside investors/realtors that Five Points was whitewashed and set up to be demolished/repurposed and made into Generic Hipster/Transplant/Gentrification lot #4355

Graffiti writers from all around the world, Europe, South America, Asia, etc..came to five points to do pieces.

Ofcourse none of you know or respect the culture of graffiti or would know about the writers and whatnot. From what I expect most of you are just suburban sheltered lames that really don't know anything about art or anything about culture. There's a f*cking 15 page thread on Lady Gaga here in the booth for crying out loud. I can't take y'all seriously when I know most of you are pop fans that just casually partake in hip-hop culture as just entertainment from wal-mart world. Xbox 360, monster energy drinks, and reruns of Family Guy and don't know ANYTHING about hip-hop culture.

But that's the mentality that allows Five Poiintz to get got and you believe it. Bloomberg would be proud. I'm pretty sure you'll probably be begging to moveto whatever MTV REal World 2 Broke Girls LIC HIpster yup loft $4400 a month dream apartment comes next up in that spot not knowing you said this earlier on.

Sadly this is the world we live in. Graffiti is one of the most beautiful artforms around and it has been villainized by the same white people who think shyt like this

Is the apex of artistic expression. Just goes to show you if the white man doesn't like something then it's automatically vilified and ostracized. Things like this...
