Words By Jason Hortillas
It’s not the first time mainstream media gives a little dap to the graf heads but CNN really wants to make it known they don’t condone art in the streets. Not taking away anything from Krink founder Craig Costello, but the emphasis on the voiceover of “former graffitti artist” is laughable. Ironic as well is the press given to Krink knowing that a good portion of this product will end up on bathroom stalls, city street walls and train windows.
I’m not here to hate but whenever graf is donned the title “high art,” there is always a backlash. At least Costello took his passion and flipped it for some coin. Regardless if you agree or not, the paint leaves a more vivid look to the surfaces it touches and looks fresh on a mailbox or so I’ve heard.

Jason Whitlock = Uncle Ruckus
That nigga, my friends, is a House Nigga.
He said, according to Colin Cowherd, said NBA playoff ratings are up because of the lack of tatooed players(thats houseniggaese for young, black men). Even Colin was like thats some bullshit. That nigga, SMH… I should send him NaS’ new album when it leaks.
That House Nigga ish is His schtick & there’s a certain demographic that eats it up. Sometimes I don’t think He even believes the bullish that comes outta His mouth.
That dude turns my stomach. Every forum he’s in he’s that nigga. From Oprah to Costas he recites the same anti-black youth retoric with no balance, no positivity. Gotty – interview that sucka – ask him why he hates our culture. I got it, he’s that fat dude from PM Dawn that KRS1 mashed out.

Lebron seems to get a lil’ bit of love throughout the league… direct hip-hop affiliation and all
Kobe got a decent sized (post-rape trial) tat last I checked
Chauncey’s still in the playoffs, right?
‘Sheed…
Tony Parker is in an interracial relationship before the same audience he speaks of… yah, THAT’S always been an acceptable practice for black men before the corporate audience… smh…

@True Customer
where?u have a link?.. can u re-put here the link. i can’t go on the last section cuz ive a bugg
i guess there are no (graffiti) writers that frequent tss… interesting post, but fuck the graff shops that rip aggins off!
I think Amp is on point, Whitlock says the things that he does in order to reach a certain demographic; honestly I don’t think he believes half of the stuff put out there, its just more irresponsible journalism a la FOX NEWS.
THX Big Rome !
but fuck the graff shops that rip aggins off!
^^^^True that!!
Haven’t fucked with the KRINK, back in my time it was all about Uni Wides, Mean Streaks and Pilots….My Graf days were most definately some of the livest times of my life….but fuck going to jail over some graffiti.
Fah G..I do the graff…Krink is great but making your own colours/ink is fun.
