Among L.A. hip-hoppers and graff writers, everyone knows that both Rakaa and Evidence of Dilated Peoples (used to?) write graffiti, but it’s always been speculated and rumored as to which crew they wrote for. Ever since the War 4 shoutout that Evidence dropped (which the media would later mistake Ev for BUCKET TKO), some wondered if Ev wrote TKO. Personally, I heard MSK. I’ve heard others say MTA and CBS…
So, one day at Fat Beats L.A. after his FREE performance (which was off the chain! BUY THE LAYOVER!) EV sets the record STRAIGHT.
M.S.K crew from the 1 train in the early 80′s or the one’s that did not do there homework! plz try to do better with the hand style. wack!!!
LOL,,,,I am DIAONE,from The original “MSK”crew in NYC,207st MANHATTAN..I was part of a history that will never happen again..”NEW YORK CITY GRAFFITI”and “HIP HOP”..A movement of art,poetry,dance,and music.We are heroes,and legends,part of a culture that has been emulated the world over.My crew “MSK” is a big part of NYC,graff.We did it all,you name it,and we did it.We embraced the culture in a way that made us famous.And to see a crew from Los Angeles,CA take our name-MSK,and my “TAG”-DIA is obvious of how much influence we had..This crew msk from LA,are obviously very talented,and they have turned their craft into a business.That is great.But why take my name,and crew name,knowing that it was a part of history,and was already used.They are not graffiti writers,they are simply artist.you see graff artist no longer exist.The day,that the MTA-in NYC wash-clean the last train with graff on it,was the day that graff ended!!!Today we have a counterculture who try to infiltrate, the NYC GRAFF culture and subvert the mass media culture,and energize it with a fresh but fake parallel to NYC GRAFF ART.If back then,and i mean 25yrs ago had the resource,that msk-from Cali has,and time to do a mural,with no cops on am “ASS”,,,well i think,no i know that we would have done art to the scale that they are doing today.But we had maybe 1hr to pull a train,or a wall,we had no sponsors,no money and we had steal our paint…I am honored that my name and crew has been copied.But in history of graff, we all know who made the the name “MSK” famous,and who the real “DIA” is.Thanks tunnel rat….
shut your face you stupid clown!
hes right tho, they rock a crew name that was an original NYC crew from the heights, its one thing if they was wack, but MSK was a dope train crew.
Didn’t know about MSK in NYC, but still, MSK in L.A. aren’t called the Mad Society Kings for nothin!
