JA: A True NYC King

~creAtor~: 29th Apr 2004 - 20:11 GMT

JAONE... word the fuck up!! shit, that first shot is crazy big ups on the west side hiway, i think... i remember that shit! oh damn, seein this shit takes me back. i think i got some shots to post of his shit too. damn, now i gotta go read up on him on the net.

Peter: 29th Apr 2004 - 20:43 GMT

yep, the one and only. that shot is ca. 1995 or so on the west side highway, nyc- good call. i used to drive past that wall every single morning of my life from 1995-99. I watched it go from tagged up to hit up to totally rocked with the craziest burners youve ever seen.

once, when my mom was here visiting, we stopped the car on the highway, got out, climbed the fence and made crazy flicks of that wall (not to mention some nice closeups of the crackling paint and the underlayers of wild shit).

unfortunately, in the spring of 1999, they buffed that wall end to end with a 25 foot swath of gray matte paint. its never been the same. occasionally, there are a few ups, but mostly tags. its never been hit so hard since, and probably never will be.

for a few years, that wall was the place to be, and Ja was always there, on repeat, above the flux...

dyepolarism: 3rd Dec 2004 - 20:47 GMT

i love ther story behind the wall how he and jd went out paint w/ a ladder. got busted. hauled in. and went back later that night w/ another ladder i guess to finish.

commenter: 1st May 2005 - 07:09 GMT

ja and jd destroyed that wall. why does it say rip? ja is not dead. in fact making a major comeback.

shado: 1st May 2005 - 07:16 GMT

hay was up homie we shoud hit up in portland sometime. we shoud smoke some weed and go spary.

JA=ALL TIME GRAffiti king: 1st Jun 2005 - 18:19 GMT

ja is the king of new york,,i love it he is a beast..

ja: 8th Jul 2005 - 17:41 GMT

cdskills: 14th Oct 2005 - 01:15 GMT

JA is alive and still killing shit. What the fuck you saying RIP for?

Peter: 14th Oct 2005 - 13:41 GMT

hahaha. then why dont you post some of his new shit then?

John Avildsen: 20th Oct 2005 - 05:50 GMT

did you know i was in the karate kid? i was one of the dudes in the skeleton suits...

AD.: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:13 GMT

WORD, AND KARATE KID 2 OR 3 TOO. CAN'T REMEMBER WHICH BUT I SAW YOU. WENT BOMBING WITH YOU ONCE BACK IN THE ACID WRITERS DAYS. AND WORD, WHY ARE THEY SAYING RIP FOR YOU? WAS THERE A RUMOR? STILL SEEING NEW SHIT (I THINK) - OLD 91ST ST STATION ETC...

Peter: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:29 GMT

thats what i heard, you know? its like, if everyone is seeing new shit and im not, then somebody please show me some! thats all im saying. i love ja's shit. thats some of the first graf i really dug when i moved to nyc in '95. id roll up the west side highway and see that old wall of fame and see ja get up every which way all over it. that first flick up there.

now, someone get their camphone charged up and show me some new ja shit so i can seeee the liiiight.

AD.: 20th Oct 2005 - 23:49 GMT

HEARD WHERE? HE'S BEEN HITTING WINDOWS LATELY ON THE 1 WITH A GESSO MOP. IF I TAKE A PIC WITH MY PHONE AND POST IT, WILL YOU BE A BELIEVER? ALSO, HE JUST POSTED RIGHT BEFORE ME ON THIS VERY DATE. IS THAT EVIDENCE ENOUGH FOR YOU?

Peter: 21st Oct 2005 - 00:23 GMT

damn straight ill believe! i want to believe, in case you didnt get that. show me that shit, man... it would totally make my day, by the way. if you cant figure out how to post it, email em to editors@citynoise.org and theyll post em here for ya.

ja, if youre out there, say hi and tell me where i can see your shit. ive been missing it. esp the billboards on the west side. and chinatown. your shit just started disappearing one day, then i never saw it come back.

but then again, maybe i was lookin in all the wrong places.

Editor:: 21st Oct 2005 - 00:24 GMT

if you show us some new ja shit, ill make sure this entry is edited to show ja is alive and well, and how much anyone that ever sleeps on his shit sucks.

AD.: 21st Oct 2005 - 01:36 GMT

OKAY, I'LL SNAP A PIC NEXT TIME I SEE. BUT I ALSO POINT OUT AGAIN, THAT HE HIMSELF - JA - POSTED RIGHT BEFORE ME IF YOU LOOK. I KNOW THAT ANYONE CAN IMPERSONATE PEOPLE ONLINE, BUT READ THE POST; IGNORING ALL OF THE POSTS ABOUT HIM AND JUST SAYING SOME SHIT ABOUT BEING IN THE KARATE KID IS EXACTLY SOMETHING HE WOULD DO. AND ITS TRUE. HIS DAD PRODUCED THAT MOVIE AND A BUNCH OF OTHERS INCLUDING ROCKY... JOHN, SORRY FOR BLOWING UP YOUR SPOT - BUT THIS GUY THINKS YOUR DEAD UNTIL PROVEN OTHERWISE. TALK ABOUT BAD LUCK.

Peter: 21st Oct 2005 - 03:07 GMT

i love ja. im just jonezing for some flix, or some tips on where i can see em. you misunderstood if you think that i got anything but love for ja's shit. i can be convinced. i just cant be troubled to get out and chase flix i have no idea even exist. save me the trouble. show me some new ja shit and ill fucking be on top of the world.

you share some flix and youll be the king of fucking citynoise...

KON: 4th Nov 2005 - 20:19 GMT

JA is surely back up and running....just take a look at the west side highway 178th street exit....JA along with OJAE, and TEO merked that real quick....
ps. what you really need to check is the cross bronx....I just recently heard about it...i will check it out myself tonight

KRAM 2: 10th Nov 2005 - 06:12 GMT

JA IS A MOTHAFUCKING' BEAST!
it's almost as if though he's following me.. when i lived in jersey city... i one day saw a JA tag on telephone company box on kennedy blvd... and now i live in greenpoint and just recently saw a silver krink tag on light switch box on the corner of driggs and leonard.
HIS SHIT JUST KEEPS ON RUNNIN'!

mel: 10th Nov 2005 - 07:35 GMT

Peter: 10th Jan 2006 - 03:14 GMT

which line? cause i ride 4 trains a day and never see his shit.

dubster: 14th Jan 2006 - 18:28 GMT

JA didnt get stabbed for goin over da sabre piece.He went over the saber piece cos MSK stabbed him.JA has been through hella shit.I know loads bout him even I know his stuff and i live in england.

NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 06:46 GMT

Yeah, We never met man, but you and me? we have a little history. It was 1989 and you came to LA. You dissed pretty much every burner that wasn't WCA or BC. That included 2 or 3 of mine. On one I had my girls initial in a little heart next to the piece - it was a 'j' yeah, you changed it to a JA.

I laughed then and I still laugh. You killed like 3 miles of wall flanking the 405 during that trip and regardless of you dissing my shit for no particular reason, you really did some damage, I gotta give you that. Pulled that shotgun on Danny Boy too while dissing that Rise/KSN piece on melrose. That was a busy vacation for you.

So, really you've been dissing my crew since the late 80's. Stabbed? Maybe that beef is squashed maybe not, I dont know anything about about it. But it started in 88 or 89 and you started it. Just wanted to clarify that shit. It's been a long time since then and I think its pretty amazing that any of us are still around - that's what really matters.

NyseOne AWR/MSK: 17th Jan 2006 - 20:18 GMT

One more thing about that stabbing. As far as I know those guys had beef before M was in MSK, it just spilled over. Maybe JA can shed some light on it.

Another story worth mention - Some CBS cats years back were in the LA river while they buffed his throwups over there pieces on one side of the river, they looked accross to see Him dissing their pieces on the other side of the river. hahaha.... Well, they tried to go serve him and he shot at them then fled - seems he had city keys cause he was driving a truck in the wash. Everyone assumes he got access through his dad's connection - like production permits or whatever.

FS: 18th Jan 2006 - 15:53 GMT

Why doesn’t ja just tell the full story so that the truth is known about the saber diss even cats from my part of the world mention it, did foe too catch anything for the diss? I don't understand what’s up with a staby then a diss then you want him dead sounds like he got ya agro hahahahahahahaha.

///JAYSK SPH: 27th Jan 2006 - 02:03 GMT

Peter: 20th Feb 2006 - 20:25 GMT

i discovered more JA tags, this time as etches on the brooklyn-bound q train:

This one was particularly good, as you can see hes throwing up SANE also... (rip sane smith)...

Peter: 6th Mar 2006 - 19:23 GMT

more from this past weekend... from the q train at the canal street station:

WORKER: 13th Mar 2006 - 05:25 GMT

i dont think he is dead,,if so rip...he is the all time king of grafffiti bombing no doubt...post more flicks please.

never jacked for being an ass: 15th Mar 2006 - 20:08 GMT

remember - its easy to kill shit when you got deep pockets and a team of lawyers behind you. JA might be able to scrap, he might be up as fuck, but unlike most bombers, he's really safe from legal recourse. How much damage would you do if you had the money to stay out of jail? Props to the REAL writers that are puttin it down without a rich dad to bail them out when shit hits the fan. Like GKAE put more work on the west coast then JA ever did in NY and he got 5 years for that shit. No 'Daddy's gonna call the governer bullshit' that kid did hard time.

And the fact that JA gets props for dissing that Saber piece is a joke. His 2 color throwups dont hold a candle to Sabers 7 color illegal burners. JA is proof that even a toy, over an extended period of time with no chance of really going down, can achieve king status. The guy has 2 letters in 2 colors down to a science. big deal. Just another poor excuse for a NY king. Thats why NY is slippin, cause you hold up clowns as kings.

SEEN: 15th Mar 2006 - 20:18 GMT

Thats why NYC is "slippin"? Fuck that! Noooo, why... we dont have *any* kings here in in NYC at all do we? None at all. Listen here, fool, GRAFFITI, just like HIPHOP itself, was BORN and BRED in NYC, and NYC has kept it ALL nailed down tight as fuck ever since DAY ONE. So you better show some respect, fool.

Plus....... to everyone confused about JA, he is alive, but I can't blame yall for thinking otherwise, considering that he DID drop offa the face of the earth for YEARS.

And for the record..... FUCK SABER.

JA IS THE KING...: 16th Mar 2006 - 06:34 GMT

BITCH PLEASE JA KNOCKS ALL THESE SUCKERS OUT THE BOX..THE SABER SHIT IS IN A SEWER IT TOOK HIM A YEAR ,,WHAT A JOKE JA DISSED THAT IN HALF AN HOUR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE DAY,,AND THAT PUSSY CRIES ABOUT IT TILL THIS DAY,,,HE SHOULD THANK JA,,IT WAS THE MOST FAME THAT BIRD EVER GOT,,HE SHOULD HANDLE HIS BIZ LIKE A MAN NOT A BITCH RUNNING SCARED GKAE DID YEARS WELL THATS BECAUSE HE IS A DUMB MOTHER FUCKER,,THE IDEA IS TO STAY OUT OF JAIL...HELLO...HE WANTS PROPS BECAUSE HE GETS BAGGED ALOT...NEXT..JA DID MAD TRAINS IN THE LATE 80s AND HAS CHANGED THE GRAFF GAME..BROUGHT IT TO A NEW LEVEL HE IS ALSO A DOWN MOTHER FUCKER YOU WOULD NEVER TALK SHIT TO HIS FACE,,,YOU WOULD RUN,,HE IS THE PREZ OF THE MOST DOWN CREW IN NYC AND IS DOWN WITH SOME TOP LA CREWS TO BOOT,,YOU TRYING TO DIS BECAUSE HIS POP GOT SOME MOVIE TYPE FAME GOOD FOR HIM BAD FOR YOU ...I BET YOU DONT EVEN KNOW WHO YOUR FATHER IS...YALL SHOULD JUMP OFF JAs DICK AND STEP TO THE MAN IF YOU THINK YOU GOT THAT....BECAUSE YALL LOOK LIKE HARD CORE FANS....ANY BODY SAYS JA AINT A GRAFFITI BOMBING LEGEND IS FOOLING THEY SELF...NOW PETER WHATS UP WITH SOME MORE JA FLICKS??????

high-c: 26th Apr 2006 - 18:13 GMT

theres a diffrence between being the bombing king, and just all around king of the city or whatever. bombing is a completely diffrent style of graffiti, its meant to be fast, not super technical, and above all you gotta bomb the fuck out of everything you see... thats why its called bombing, you blow shit up. its so heads get to know who you are, and give you respect because everyone everywhere in nyc has seen your shit, and seen what crazy spots you've got balls enough to hit. ja is the bombing king, straight up.

don't worry about my name: 26th Apr 2006 - 21:54 GMT

JA- YOU DEFF GOT UPZ LIKE HELL..I RESPECT YOUR DETERMINATION BUT TAKE IT DOWN..KING??? NEVER THAT..LET ME SEE ONE PIECE YOU HAVE DONE!

5. a mishmash of playstation games/lo-fi graf dvds

(LA cap and middle-finger optional...)

ondomay: 12th May 2006 - 14:11 GMT

how can you idiots say JA is king of graffiti when he can't piece??, prove me wrong but fuck.
props to bombing the shit out of everything but compared to seen, case, cope2 and heaps of other dope writers around the world... JA aint got shit, in the sense that he doesnt piece. Yeah you can go on about you getting a hard on coz you see one of his tags but fuck get over it, go out side and do some fucking panels you NYC bitches

ondomay: 12th May 2006 - 21:15 GMT

and graf is about art aswell not only getting up. if you saw ja's throwups around or a seen/cope legal wall what do you think would get a better response?

Naaah bro ja is the true kamakazi bomber, from hells gate to any other bridge such as the 7 and shit like that, but these days there are mad people gettin up and doin crazy shit! take niro as an example. every tag is above ground level. I think that ja is the greatest nyc bomber out there, but not the biggest. i see alot more SI tags than JA. I spend my weekend runnin round the city paintin walls, and i dont get shit out of it. i love graff, but to get up like ja has you gotta bomb for years upon years, and you dont give a shit bout your record, basically your a person with no job. i wouldnt like to be in JA s position, but bein all city is definately one of my dreams.... props to ja and any other real bomber out there

SICE ONE: 25th May 2006 - 22:35 GMT

NO OFFENSE TO ANYONE. BUT JUST TO CLARIFY: BOMBING AND PIECING ARE 2 VERY DIFFERENT THINGS. THERE ARE SOME DOPE PIECES BOTH LEGAL AND ILLEGAL; BOMBING IS MAINLY ABOUT TAKING SPACE.

not really though i did have the lirr bridge and dat shit is basically what he does, but as a young writer, i still have a long way to go and shit, but i aint gonna walk around tryin to get up everywhere ja has and shit, remember ja has been writin for a few fucking long years probably bout 20 i only have been writin for probably about 2 years. i wouldnt even start, cause i dont act like he is my savior and shit, ive probably done more than anyone on this page has. fucken walked hells gate from queens and shit got roofs in bklyn and shit got some tunnels, and im below the age of 16 so really ive done alot of shit in my time, and like i said i got a long way to go, and so much more shit to learn.

DEXTone : 31st May 2006 - 03:27 GMT

all time king hands down of puttin in work is ja. he brought the game to where it is now. dont get me wrong, the are many other greats in al kinds of ways. but when it comes to high spots, back to backs, street bombing and so forth, this dude is the creator of all of that. and for your info to the dude hating on ja but riding copes dick ja can piece. its not his cake. his can control is sick so go find more web sites to hate on ja cuz i see ya wrote the same on saster.

m8rd: 6th Jun 2006 - 02:05 GMT

The dude did piece on subways. After subway pieces, I guess to him, pieces wasn't worth it. And there is a legitimate art to throwy's. They take creativity. And if you see the spots he hits. Damn. Fuck the fact that his dad is someone big. Wow. If your dad's a cop, and you get up your just as up as some dude who's dad's a drug dealer. Just because they don't run, and there aren't many flicks of 'em doesn't mean he didn't piece.

one more from the q train:

but im not dick ridin im just sayin: 14th Jun 2006 - 23:26 GMT

look JA killed and is killing shit more than any of you ever have or ever will im all over the 5 boroughs every day for work traveling around and i see shit that you internet cornballs from la uk chitown or wherever will never even know about. he bombs.thats what he does and he is sick with it. i don't need a flick to let me know. everyone already knows, if your from here. his spots are crazier and higher than most everybodys. yeah pieces are cool if you wanna take all day on some legal wall. thats not bombing though. these days trains get buffed same fuckin day they dont even run. the real way to take fame in ny these days is to bomb and thats the real, fun, raw, exciting shit anyway, but it ain't like he's new at this. it's about finding a spot,getting to the spot , and then killing it and getting over. thats what graf is to me at least. save the pieces for your boys garage wall or your fucking art class. nuff respect due JAONES XTC. on a side note im good on dudes that hit every fuckin BQE rooftop and think they are the king of ny because of it. spread it out ;)

yea ok: 22nd Jun 2006 - 22:06 GMT

Cmon ppl just because he has 2 letters and a limited color scheme doesnt mean he sucks....I write in 2 letters I did a peice(so far did one peice ,with Repay) I have multiple color schemes and I do more than bubble letters and stuff. So you cant really say anything about JA when you havent seen ALL of his stuff

Perhaps he needs to get a real job. It is all distasteful, the tagging and such. Go to design school or volunteer teaching art. Graffiti is trash.

yea ok: 12th Jul 2006 - 22:31 GMT

Keis people like you pretty much just need to ignore it ,graffiti is for other writers its for them they don't care if the fact you don't like it or the fact you can't read it or not...its just for them. And since graffiti is such trash how come REAL WRITERS (Graffiti ARTIST) get paid about 1 or 2k for a mural or something they are doing for a business? If its so much trash how come ...well can't say half MOST of the word is doing / appritiating it? And to let you know he's more than a tagger hes a street bomber. Right now All i do is mess with paint I dont mess with markers(TAG MATERIAL). ALSO you don't know much about human? What person doesnt have a REAL job, half of the graffiti writers have REAL JOBS if not how would they survive in life? Matter fact if they didnt have a job how would they get paint and other materials to sketch there art?...and what was the point of you going in a JA thread saying graffiti is trash...what you think you can stop it by saying that ? LaWlZoRz!1 just gtfo

LAX: 31st Aug 2006 - 08:10 GMT

That would be hilarious if he was Jonathan Avildsen.. That would mean he was in Karate Kid as Snake and in a Rocky movie.. I think JA is a worthless. He's added nothing more to graf then what every toy has. There's people killing it right now, doing the same shit but on a different level. The same two letters can never stand up to the burners and heavens people are doing these days. And they're getting up more than him too, and in better spots. Etching a window or taking a marker to a sign is as good as not getting up. SABER is 100x better writer and has added 1000x more to graf in general. It's not suprising that JA has fallen off though, all of NY has fallen of in the past 10 years.

welll the truth is he is a little rich fuck, but i still see style in him, and i like the way he goes and does heaven spots on bridges and shit, but the truth is hes just lucky that he lives without having to pay anything, and gettin bailed out of jail for like 5000$ oh well let him rock the city and see how well he'll be doin i the next 10 years

ReaL SFC: 10th Sep 2006 - 16:56 GMT

yo b he's been rocked nyc for years he doesnt have to do anymore graff ever, hes still a legend regardless. 5000 wouldnt cover the damage this man has done lmao, DESA was locked down for 3 years(i think) for doing millions worth in bombing... and JA has way more shit than him still.

does anybody remember the manhattan bridge columns JA destroyed in the late 80s? I figured there must have been scaffolds or something there, cause they look pretty scary and hard to get on (I have never tried to get to them, and wont haha) since seeing that I was convinced JA is nuts.

pjgunagun@cox.net: 18th Sep 2006 - 03:06 GMT

ja one is most likely the king of all city throw ups,but revok saber is definitly the king of pieces.his hard
work of creativity stands out great in la as much as ja one throwups stand out in nyc,but if your a real graf writer both guys deserve a lot of respect becouse if someone went over your piece or throw up you would be pissed of too.
ps,enjoy bombing the system as much as possible,because the city now days paints over everything right away.

yeah he has had mad support ($$$) as far as staying out of jail and getting paint no doubt, but im sure he racked a whole bunch also_and he supposedly did a stint b4.

Graff lover Nab: 17th Nov 2006 - 23:37 GMT

Man,first bombing and piecing are two different things,but you need both to become a true king, a real well rounded graff writer Ja just has the bombing aspect just about any one can kill any city with a two letter, two color throwies example jase I love jase I'am from B-more and he's an inspiration he has at least 3 cars on every fright line that runs trough an american city he's written on 40,000 of 2million cars no one can ever compare and not only does he bomb frieghts he does whole car pieces on them and frieghts are huge, plus he's up in SanFran with pieces and throw ups.ja can never compare to people like him and saber. Now I respect ja for his bombing ability I'am not going to take that from him, but thats all, as far as iam concerned ja is a bitch made nigga that has no respect, a daddy with too much money, and no artistic vision. Ja is a TOY. He can never compare to graffiti artist that have nothing and risk every thing including their lives to lose,all for their art, people with no other outlets, and if it wern't for graffiti they'ed probaly be on americas most wanted for shooting down disrespectful fools like ja. Saber the living legend no writer can compare, I dont even want to begin too explain saber it'd take too long, all I can say is do your Homework. Y'all fools in NYC need to open your eyes up to the rest of the world. What graffiti artist can you name that paints pieces the size of football fields with bucket paint in the open, in L.A. gangland with police helicoter flying over and amtrak police patroling on foot for a who year. I'am waiting for an answer, I don't care what beef ja had with what ever member of Msk but you don't Cap something like that,something that size that illegal, it has to be a work of God. Shit IF you really love graff Saber is the closet thing we ever had to god he's A prophet. JA's a pussy for that one the biggest graffiti publicity stunt ever.

How can they risk everything if they have nothing?

Climbing the manhattan bridge and bombing it isnt risking anything?

South of the GW maybe around 140th or so? Purple if I recall. Also noticed some things on the N/R in the tunnels around City Hall that seem to be recent. Guess he’s still out there doing his thing, keeping a low profile.

Greatest bomber ever = biggest loser ever: 21st Dec 2006 - 00:54 GMT

Without question JA has bombed more shit than anyone ever. He's the Michael Jordan of graffiti. But graffiti is a sad and pathetic vocation.

This is a person who had the resources (maybe not the intelligence) to do anything he wanted to with his life. And what did he choose to do? Smoke crack and angel dust, and WRITE ON WALLS! Don't you realize how pathetic that is? He could have gone to Ivy League schools for undergrad and graduate school, and then worked on Wall Street, or chosen to dedicate his life to a good cause, but instead he decided to scrawl two letters over and over again on walls in ghetto neighborhoods. It's kind of sad, really... And now he's a 40-year old man rollerblading around the Upper West Side and doing the same shit

JA: 22nd Dec 2006 - 15:11 GMT

Love the graff: 13th Jan 2007 - 19:07 GMT

Ja is a bomber thats it, until he pieces more I think a lot of people will never accept him as a true writer...and also yea JA went over SABER...but big deal SABER went back and fixed most of it up...so props to both JA and SABER...

JA IS KING FUCK ALL HATERS: 15th Jan 2007 - 12:59 GMT

man most of y'all on here are just bitin the lines that saber and JA say on the videos that are in.
i respect saber as a writer for doin something and many things as crazy as hes done but the main point is JA still gonna get up there and diss it in 5 mins no matter where it is, what it is and how big it is and he proved that by travelling across the country to diss the LA river piece. it takes a life time to make the kind of name that JA has and he has given the better part of his life doing what it is we all obviously love so much to be on this forum. So stop hatin and realise that you can talk shit on him all you want but hes still not gonna give a fuck, still gonna get the fame, and still be a million times more up then you. respect to NYC, respect to JA

Ja is a god of graffiti. All hands down. He is in the elite of Graff legends/underground legends. Ja is known to ppl everywhere, in every city block of Now Why Cee. Regardless of who got beef with him or who are allies with him. People can not deny Ja of his rank as Furor of Grafiti bombing. LES, to The Desert To Shaolin and further. He will never stop. And we will vouch for him and still support him, no matter who he is up against next. Because of his beefs, other people caught fame. They need to be throwing they wallets at Ja.

by the way. how is he still bombing when everyone knows who he is?

split: 21st Dec 2007 - 09:25 GMT

why ya on his stuff for graffiti is art stop saying its vandalisam cus its not its a way to take out ower felings but not in a bad way your thinking that becuse we get up in hight places and hit up on trans its not art but it is its ower way of doing things just like you like saying stupid stuff about graffiti we like doing stuff on walls and other things

EvilGentleman: 21st Dec 2007 - 11:25 GMT

The art/vandalism debate will go on forever, because both sides are correct.

Many graffiti pieces are unquestionably artistic masterpieces. I have seen many pieces that are absolutely mind-boggling, provoke intelligent thought and debate, and are just a joy to look at. Alongside (or sometimes, covering over) that are the amateurish scrawls of schoolchildren with spray paint. Some tags are just a mess, and others have serious artistic value of their own.

I know if I tried to do it, it would be a mess, since I just do not have the required talent.

Therefore, while not all graffiti can be said to be art, much of it clearly is, and to say otherwise is to disregard and disrespect the work of many extremely talented underground artists, as well as a few rare professionals.

Due to its nature, graffiti is often painted on public or private property without permission from the owners of the relevant structures. If it has been painted without permission, it is legally known as vandalism, no matter how well done it may be.

In many cases, graffiti can actually beautify a wall that has been neglected by its owner, or bring much-needed life to a dead space such as the soulless bland concrete overpasses, or the support piers for highways, both of which pollute the urban landscape all too often.

But this does not change the legality of the art, or rather, the lack thereof.

Some property owners, and once in a while, even a local government, will notice the artistic value of the graffiti and will ask some of the more conventionally talented artists to do a mural piece, or sometimes will just let it be known that graffiti is welcome in certain locations.

On rare occasions, a property owner may decide they like a piece that was illegally painted on their property, and will take steps to preserve it. But these are the exception, not the rule.

Purists will tell you that true graffiti must be done illegally, since that is where the roots of the art form lie, and to do otherwise is just the mere commercialization of an art form that belongs to the streets.

I personally support the idea of allowing graf on highway structures, excluding the face of road signs, but I also feel that private homes should be free of unwanted graffiti.

I also think that one of these days, a train company will see the wisdom in giving rust-proofing paint to graffiti artists, and tell them to leave the identfying numbers and logos on rail cars alone, but to go ahead and paint the rest of it. They would get free paint jobs, and the artists would get to display their art on rolling stock.

Graffiti is artistic vandalism, and it comes from the soul.

i heard that JA got his throat slit today because he had beef....HE IS ALIVE THOUGH FUCK THOSE FUCKERS THAT SLIT HIS THROAT!

yoyo: 14th Jan 2008 - 22:57 GMT

hes still bombing i saw this jaone tag on 86 st phonebooths this past weekend.. (i tagged it 2 weeks ago got buffed came back this past weekend saw his shit which was faded and i saw some new tags in the n/q/r/w tunnel cuz i havent noticed it until today and he tagged over some other guys fillins.

XXXXXXXXXXX: 15th Jan 2008 - 23:24 GMT

I don't really understand what happened with the whole Saber/River dis, or why the all city king of NYC would do that, the reasoning behind it, or what. I guess there are too many rumors to know the truth on that one although some people know what really happened. I guess it really doesn't matter it the by and large as Saber, and JA are amazing in what they have done in the graf scene on a planetary scale.

Nobody on this board except for SEEN (assuming that was really seen that posted above) can every come close to either one of them.

As far as JA being a spoiled son of a rich famous father, and trying to dis him for that or say he isn't a real writer for that, man fuck that and here is why: money or no money, spoiled or not, fucking regardless JA still takes the same risks, period. His father's money can't stop a bullet, a fall from a high spot, a fist, a bat, a cop chase, a speeding car. Just because he has that resource doesn't mean that he didn't bomb the holy living fuck out of NYC many times over. He did it the same way any other writer would of had to do it, only he did it, more, crazier, and harder that the rest. You cant change that, JA is the epitome of what we all wish we could be, the only difference is he actually has the resources to do so, and get this, he did!!!! Who here wouldn't like to be the all city bombing king of NYC, and be in movies, and not have to go to work, and just focus on how you were going to destroy NYC year in, and year out? His father's money didn't levitate him up to all those insane spots he bombed, no, he physically had to climb up there, he risked his life to earn his fame, he spent his time to earn his fame, he took his risks, he took whatever crazy shit happened to him to earn his fame.

Believe me, having lots of money alone cant make you the all city king of NYC.

Think about it.

BUSER" Loko: 20th Jan 2008 - 00:41 GMT

i ain't gonna lie ja is up as fuck..and i can say that he is one of the downest writers in "NYC".And JA and seen,cope 2, and t-kid....they can all be considered the "NYC" kings. But they will never dominate L.A. think about it. look at seen..ok koo burner..nice colors..koo letters...

now take a look at Revok MSK AWR....

sick letters...sick colors..its just over all better...

now look at JA...

koo bomb

look at Saber AWR MSK...

sick letters,sick colors..

And To Clarify a little bit on this beef Of The L.A. River burner...."if" Ja did get stabbed he should have rolled over the saber bomb..but he didn't he did little bitch tags and throwi'es...and and also those who said it took a year to do that burner on the la river it didn't only took about a month..especially being that that burner was huge as fuck...and if ja was down he should have went back and fucked it up again..
Do You know why i say "again"..Because SABER went back and painted it over again!the whole thing..now that is down.and he didn't do it with his daddy's permission. he said fuck the pigs and did it again..IN THE END lOS ANGELES IS WAY SICKER

WEST COAST IS THE BEST COAST!!
ALWAY'S RANKING WITH THE BEST!!
SO FUCK THE REST!!

Haters, keep hating. Get up like JA ONE and then we'll talk. Til then, fuck all y'all. This man is a TRUE NEW YORK GRAFFITI LEGEND.

AK: 26th Jan 2008 - 11:20 GMT

All you muppets need to let the Saber diss roll over..
And to compare MSK graffiti to the street destruction of
JA is not valid. They are both major players in the graff
game, but have a completley different style/mentality.
Each to their own. I respect both for their individual
efforts, but love JA for his appetite for chaos

cracksack anderson: 29th Jan 2008 - 05:59 GMT

dude above me just about sums it all up. feelin that homie.

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:36 GMT

Recently, finally, writers are finding out exactly who JA is. Already known widely throughout the graffiti community, Jonathan Avildsen has already been “tagged” Mr. Parascandola. Better luck with “tagging” other writers next time. Nice read though, by the way.

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:38 GMT

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jonathan_Avildsen heehe... fucking vandals !! !

youre basted ja: 31st Jan 2008 - 18:48 GMT

JA himself is no stranger to Hollywood, with a handful of minor roles on television and in films, including “The Karate Kid Part III” and “Rocky V,” both directed by his dad. In “Rocky V,” JA plays a drug addict - a case, police sources say, of art imitating life, as drugs have long been JA’s problem. the police know ho is but his father is to rich to see his on in prison....

Allcityking: 5th Feb 2008 - 04:29 GMT

Has anyone ever thought that maybe JA has his own damn money. He was a fucking movie star for Christ's sake. He obviously had money and most likely still has some. He most likely was a "millionaire" judging by the amount of movies hes been in. It says on the wiki page that he has been in Titanic along with a few others besides Karate Kid and Rocky. He also been in a few T.V shows. So everyone who keeps saying his dad is giving him all his money, back the fuck off and stop being suck fags about it. So what if his father did give him some money, would you homos say no to that money to help you stay out of jail, of course not. This is the problem with graffiti, your all a bunch of wannabe hard asses trying to fuck writers up that have more ups then you, have a better style then you , and get more attention then you. I don't think he cares that he can't do a wildstyle, he writes because he can.

Buzz Lightyear: 6th Feb 2008 - 04:58 GMT

from what ive seen hes been on tv in ER and other small roles lately. so is gonna pursue life in acting or what. cuz he should probably just continue his reign of NYC throw up king

Allcityking: 6th Feb 2008 - 22:17 GMT

^^ Exactly, so hes obviously still got money. I've seen a few box trucks go through philly lately with some JA throws on it, so I think hes still getting ups.

BELROC IOF: 7th Feb 2008 - 01:01 GMT

I see JA box trucks all over Connecticut everyday. I-95 I-84 and RT-8

AERT NYC: 7th Feb 2008 - 02:13 GMT

yo for you L.A cats who sayin ja is rich and all that shit..ur nigga saber is a lil white boy whos mom is scared shit for him..dont belive find it on youtube its on there...all in all JA is a fucking beast!

Buzz Lightyear: 19th Feb 2008 - 00:09 GMT

yo belroc, i'm on I-95 everyday and have yet to see a JA throw up. OVAL used to be all over the merit and 95 but i havent seen his shit lately. looks like everythings been buffed. i wonder what happened to that cat

anon (cf2.utc.com): 20th Feb 2008 - 18:42 GMT

I just saw a box truck with a JA tag on the grill
on Route 8 in Shelton CT about 15 minutes ago.
Oval was this crazy guy from Norwalk that crushed shit
for a few years and then just quit.
I've seen many like hime come and go.
Ser2 is a good example.
I also saw a JA truck on I-84 in Hartford on Sunday.
They must be on I-95 at some point.

REAP: 23rd Feb 2008 - 21:29 GMT

yeah ja is a legend and has alot of stuff up but...thats not really cool how he went over sabers big piece...like i know saber dissed or went over one of ja's boys but saber took soo long and hard work and probably alot of money to make it..

ApeksTDK: 25th Feb 2008 - 03:10 GMT

Did Cope2 and JA ever fight? Any good JA fight stories?

BelRoC IOFcrew: 25th Feb 2008 - 19:54 GMT

I know JA and Cope2 had a little war in the early 90's.
Seen them over each other at 238th street.
Never heard of them fighting over it.
But I did hear a rumor of JA getting his throat cut
because of the LA river thing.
But I don't know if I believe that.

TAG: 27th Feb 2008 - 01:40 GMT

JA is a legend.. but still, its fucked up he went over saber. Good thing Saber had the nuts and was down enough to go back over it.

That was a bitch move by JA.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 12th Mar 2008 - 19:51 GMT

Damn...y'all are embarising yourselves. It is bad enough that you post-84 new jacks are so politically retarded. There are no kings by throw-ups alone, who the f_ck taught y'all that nonsense..CAP????. CAP was a friggin punk-b_tch clown back in the old days and still is. CAP did nothing positive for writing. There are no throw-up kings period. Writers like IZ, DY-167(JESTER), MIN, QUIK, IN, TEE, etc...all had their burners and/or t-b cars down. Throw-ups are for getting up and that is it........STOP/LOOK/LISTEN/LEARN....Bye-yah!

BILROCK 161(aka.SAGE),Original President of RTW.

Post-84 New Jack: 12th Mar 2008 - 20:02 GMT

Embarassing ourselves, you say, you old geezer? You're like every other oldskool cat who's riding some already-done-shit and gave up on innovating YEARS ago and now you sit around and talk shit online because you can't get your head around the fact that the game has moved on, grown up, and the pace has quickened since your "golden years" of 70s-80s tagging. You're like the Model T, and we're like a brand new sports car, you dig?

I never even heard of you, so I Googled you, and saw your MySpace. You're 45 years old? Damn, man, JA is probably in his 30s, and he's oldskool to me, so that makes you PREHISTORIC.

Why do you talk like you're some famous expert? Just cause you were around "back in the day"? My grandpa was around "back in the day", and he doesn't know shit about graf. Post-84 new jacks? Are you serious? 84 was almost TWENTY FIVE YEARS AGO, man. Wake up, the 1970's are calling! They want their tired styles and played-out throwies back! I've seen Style Wars- that shit is like ancient history!

So for all us "New Jacks" out here trying to stay up, go all city and be kings, let me just remind you (and all other old, elderly cats who love to hate and talk about how much better shit was back in the day) that the game has moved on, and passed you by years ago, son.

And don't step to me for dissing you. I have respect for the founders and those that came before, but damn... why you gotta hate so much? Feeling left out? Probably.

W-Bear: 14th Mar 2008 - 18:43 GMT

Youngbloods comin' up today got no sense of history.

I knew Bilrock.
I hung with Bilrock.
You're no Bilrock.

I give you a lollipop if you get the polical reference here.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:07 GMT

What up Willy Bear?!!!, hope all is well my old freind. Yeah, well youth is almost always wasted on stupidity. Whoever posted post-84 new jack is just that. He is also a punk-assed bitch who wouldnt have survived the 70's at all. Come step to me anytime, I'll show you what this 45 year old can do. Hey post-84 new jack!, what arent you tired of suckin CAPs dizzack yet??!!, where you at??, let me pay you a visit.....

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:13 GMT

Oh yeah, post-84 new jack:

Yo momma sucks my "old geezer" dizack every night..whut up!?

Post-84 New Jack: 14th Mar 2008 - 19:26 GMT

See, thats the general difference in our perspectives, "W-Bear". I prefer to look to the future, and push things to new heights than to dwell on the past and the past's faded glories and talk about the "goold ole days". You sound like my grandpa. Good for you that you hung with Bilrock and know him, I guess. That's meaningless to me as I think he's a graf dinosaur, and wouldn't even bother crossing the street to hang out with some aging hater who apparently hasn't been up to much in, what, decades? Er, or much, that is, aside from talking smack on the internet and posting faded old flicks on his MySpace of his work, which is largely done in outdated styles that make me yawn at best.

And your statement "You're no Bilrock" is funny. You don't even know who I am. And honestly, I'm really glad I'm not Bilrock. If I wanted to be an old graf geezer, I'd just go watch Style Wars again, muse about CAP, IZ and other 50+ year old writers who have, I hate to say it, fallen off their game (assuming they ever had much to begin with, by today's standards). Just cause you happened to be around when a movement was originated doesn't mean you're an originator, and it sure as hell doesn't mean you have the right to diss us "New Jacks" wholesale. And those of you that gave up the game years and years ago have little right to talk smack. Us "New Jacks" are the ones putting in the work. We run the game. We make the opinions, the styles, the trend. We're making history nowadays. You guys are pre-history. Graf cavemen. Old curmudgeons who shake their canes at passing kids and sneer about how much better stuff was "back in the day", which is all you've got, cause you're sure as hell not up to anything nowadays.

And your "polical" reference to Dan Quayle cracked me up, as it refers to an event that happened in 1988, which was probably around the last time you went bombing. I find it ironic that you chose to quote something over two decades old. It just goes to prove my point that you, also, are a geezer.

And Bilrock, your silly diss on my Mama just shows that you're ignorant and reactionary, in addition to being a graf dinosaur. Because I find your opinion worthless, your attempt at dissing me is equally pointless. Even if you disagree with me, I did my due-diligence by giving you a logical, eloquent reply and you just shot back with a "yo mama" joke, so I guess that just goes to show that your opinion isn't meant to be taken seriously. You couldn't even engage me beyond one comment without resulting to pointless, generalized insulting. I'm all city, AND I'm smart enough to put words together to express my thoughts like an intelligent, thought-provoking person. Too bad you can't say the same.

And Bilrock, as far as your threats go, you know you had it easy growing up in the pre-crack days of the 70s, before the vandal squad, before Giuliani and all that shit, right? I could bring the heat to you like nothing you ever felt but really, man, why should I bother?! I couldn't earn any cred for battling you. Why would I stoop to your level? To show how hard I could beat some old geezer that no one cares about? You're not in my league, man, nor any other meaningful league except for the "Oldskool Cats" league, and everyone knows you don't kick senior citizen's asses. It's just not polite! But enough talk, show me something that'll earn me some stripes for battling, and I'm down. Until then, put up or shut up, son. By the way, are you still a drug addict who hasn't written since 1983?

So anyway, aside from all of this bullshit, wasn't this thread about JAone?

W-Bear: 14th Mar 2008 - 21:21 GMT

What can I say? Post-84 New Jack has won himself a lollipop.

Make that two: he get's a bonus for catching my typo.

How groovy.

BILROCK-161, RTW.: 15th Mar 2008 - 00:54 GMT

Post-84 new jack,

Nobody was dissing new writers in general. Only the young pups who think who-the-f_ck they are, and all they do is throw-ups???. You should check whom you call an "old Geezer. The only thing I called some young "Throw-up" kings is new-jack. If you are a new jack then congratulations if you are smart enough you may grow to be my age of 45. You completely missed the point, lets focus..we were speakin on throw-ups, and there being throw-up kings. I ask "who the hell wants to be king of throw-ups", but mostly, Mr.post-84 new jack, if you never heard of me then you cant really be down. You need to go hear it from your elders instead of lookin at that "Subway Art" book. You should watch who you pop shit to, end of story. PEACE

Post-84 New Jack: 15th Mar 2008 - 04:39 GMT

Thanks for the lolly, W-Bear. I'll be sure to pass it on to my son. He's teething right now and its a bitch.

As for you, Bilrock Rolling Thunder Whiter- oops, I mean Writer. You failed to address most of my points, so I guess you're not down for much discussion on that tip. But I will say this- "Subway Art" book? Nope, they didn't have that one in The Tombs last time I was in for writing. At least I didn't have to hit Riker's this time, though they have a pretty good library there. Perhaps you could lend me your copy you jerk off to while riding all the REAL oldskool writer's dicks. Listen to you dissing on me and then being on some "watch who you pop shit to" tip, man. For real. Thats some oxymoronic shit right there, g. See, thats why I have little respect for y'all geezers (yes, I'm checking myself right there, calling you "geezer" instead or some harsher street shit, so feel it). You've spent the past 25 years talking the talk when you only spent a few years walking the walk, and even then, you were walking it in a softer, simpler time and place, doing shit than would look wack and cutesy and throwback today. I have a right to talk a little dirt (and do a little dirt) because I put in hours a day into this way of life. Bomb all day, every day, all-city til I die. And I have for years. Probably longer than the solid 5-10 good years you actually put in. So I have that right, brother. Once again, I remind you to feel it. Or can you after all these years of being on the sidelines and living in the past?

Can I be down? Man, I'm defining what "down" is right now. See, it's like this. I've heard of you, I just think your bark is big and nothing else you got is, and I don't think much of your armchair internet criticism of bombers who get UP. Destroy shit every day and every night to get UP. It's like my grandpa when he watches the Giants take a beating, yelling at the TV as if he could do it better, or as if anyone cares what he thinks about some shit he's merely passively observing.

I passed a Dr. Revolt piece today. A crazy burner. And it looked like it was pretty new. I see Zeph up still for decades- old antique shit that everyone knows to respect and not touch. Where's yours? I never seen a Bilrock except in old throwback flicks online. So riddle me that. Where you been, Sage? Billy? Clime? Whatever. I know how to use Google. I respect oldskool writers with a REP, not just loud-talking has-beens who love to talk shit. Back away from the internet and stop and think. You've seen my name a million times, probably a hundred or more times today alone, assuming you actually get out of your house every now and then and don't live in Jersey or LI these days or some shit. Respect is a two-way street, son, and I'm sick and tired of you oldskool cats resting on your laurels and not showing proper respect to those of us who are actually raising this rebel kid called graffiti that you old grandpas claim to have birthed. So stop being a hypocrite and then we can talk. Address the points I raised above. Tell us when the last time you hit an illegal wall was? Shit, why don't you go on and post some of your shit on this site like JAone did above? Or is all you got a MySpace page and hazy rustoleum-tinged memories of stoneage 1970s graffiti?

Go ahead and pop shit. I'll be sittin on my Always On Top shit. Everyone in New York knows my name. And that's more than you can say, despite class or upbringing or age or race or sex or dissing or internet beefing.

And that's that.

DAMN: 18th Mar 2008 - 19:59 GMT

This page has been here for about 4 years and after reading all this shit i got the following
1) JA (if actually him) posted twice. TWICE!
2) Bombing gets the job done faster than piecing
3)JA's dad works in Hollywood
4)JA is NOT dead
5)NYC writers and LA writers need to stop this wack cross country internet beef
6) If JA had genitial herpes... 90% of the mothafuckas in this forum would be breaking out from all the dick ridin
7) JA works alone, Saber had four writers help him with the River piece
P.S. Give Respect Where Due

Hey, Bilrock, all I gotta say is... check yourself before you wreck yourself, ya fuckin' has been. We both know that I've put more work in a month than your whole graff career, face it and quit livin' in the past homie.

And as for piecing goes.. I'll burn anything that you've done into the gutter on that section of graffiti as well.

YO BILROCK, thats a wack move calling him out like that. You just obviously wanna shift the focus onto this person's identity, and are totally ignoring the very valid points he's makin. Are you are are you not a has-been? Do you even paint any more? How's that addiction going? Do you use a walker?

Y'all whiny-ass old school cats need to learn to practice the very same RESPECT you keep demanding, son.

YET ANOTHER NEW-JACK,
You are the same. It is obvious by the same imature insults you so freely hurl at someone you dont know anything about. I almost was going to be civil to you on 03/15 but after your indulgence in the most retarded racist diatribe, so much for that. I actually was never tryin to dis JA, he gets up and probably can do burners .I was trying to relay to younger writers that graf is all about the art. Do you honestly think you are going to be doing throw-ups all over the place when you grow up(if you do). I apologize to JA if he thinks I was popin shit about him. I made the mistake of airing my learned-graf opinion about throw-ups. But you son(literally)are a dumb mo-f_cker, you pop shit to me but cant back it up. I am easy to find, come to one of my shows and introduce yourself. I have no hate but I can only give you some wisdom from age. Do not get into simple minded racism, you will only hurt yourself and your people. And you dont know shit anyhow. RTW. was 40% latino, 40% white, 20% black, with a couple asians as well. I walked with the best new-jack, writers you can never touch. I tell you what, son, how about you go learn some knowledge. That is all I have to say on this but I extend an open invitation to you, come to one of my shows(or one of my boys, eg. T.KID-170, REVOLT, MIN, QUIK, SHOCK-123, KEL 1st, etc...etc,), I will be there.

Peace, Love, Unity, and death to racists!,

yo BILROCK-161, I got a ton of repect for you, and its a shame there are some younger guys who are beastin on you. When they get to be 45, I wonder how thell feel about gettin on you, callin you a dinasour. No doubt, your another one of the great originals, and I know that tons of people with sense, got a lot of respect for you.

I got respect for JA, but can someone give me a reason why he went over Saber's piece? It took Saber like 35 days or something like that to make such amazing piece. Why would JA go over it? just for fame? Envy? I just wanna know, I realize that there would be many assholes who would go over it. But what made JA do it?

I can't believe I've read all this crap!

JAONE is a legend, like it or not, he's worldwide. Whether it's on daddy's money or dirty money it doesn't matter, he's still out taking risks and throwing up. He's paved the way(along with many others) for a new generation, people should respect the inspiration he's given us all. Without people like him there would be no scene for us to look back on.

big respect to JA

Thanks to Peter for the flix

Whats up everyone. I 've heard a lot about JA over the years. I keep hearing about a car chase he was involved in, which was broadcast on T.V. Is this true? If so, is it available to watch online?

John Avildsen is now in detox/rehab/group therapy. I met him there in May 2008. I saw his works and his books and all. He said he was quitting and he told me to look him up online, so I did. He wasn't bullshitting, I'm just here to let you all know what he said, I think he really means it. Thanks for your time.

Quittin' graf or quittin' the nasty?

The latter I hope and if he is trying good luck to him! He's a very talented(not just bombing), intelligent and articulate man who deserves nothing but happiness. Stay strong!

Peace to LA & NYC... heard Philly was getting HUGE?!

Anyone know who wrote this sh*t back in the day? Since there's a bunch of heads in here,

"Almost 22 years in these backstabbin' streets. Strike a match and feel the cold heat. Too many illusions! Even young cats are strapped! So go for the cheese and you get jacked by the trap!"

I read that shit when i was like 12 years old or something, and always wanted to know who wrote that shit... suh an ill quote.

This masterpiece measures a staggering 250’ x 55’ (nearly the size of a football field) and took 125 gallons of latex roller paint and a year of carefully planned nights to complete. Every supply for the LA Riverbed painting had to be hauled over barbed wire and through gangland, then applied without attracting the attention of either the Amtrak or Los Angeles police departments, both of whom patrol the area from the ground and the air. After a year of work, Saber had blown out his knee working on the slanted surface, but completed the painting. Saber and Ja are both fuckin kings of their own style.
