I’m posting another joint from Das Racist Vik because I fux with it.
When I was growing up there was a graff artist who would bomb Kool A.D.(angel dust) on the #7 train. I ended up learning that Kool A.D. was jacking Dust UA tag swag.
Vik ain’t jacking no one’s jock with his polysyllabic swag rap steez.
Kool A.D. is my homey DaVE (real name Viktor Vazquez) from the rap crew Das Racist. I called him DaVE one day because I’m a burnout, but DaVE is close to Dove and Dove from De La Soul is a rap animal so fux with me.
The track below features another rap animal, Meyhem Lauren, and DaVE’s rap partner Heems. It’s from Kool A.D.’s mixtape titled ’51’ and you can download it for FREE if you go to DaVE’s BandCamp page.
RTW was one of my favorite writing crews from the 1980s. These dudes crushed the IND lines I rode every morning to Brooklyn Tech HS. I always wondered how these dudes had the stamina to cover entire trains (8 cars) with top to bottom throwies.
I’m thankful that the homey T-Bag sent me this link to a gallery exhibit featuring RTW. I think it’d be dope to meet these cats who ruled the tunnels underground and were the superheroes of my youth

Tales Of RTW
05.04.2012 – 06.01.2012
The first gallery show ever as a group, The Rolling Thunder Writers of NYC Subway Graffiti fame. One of the most prolific, heavy-hitting graffiti crews in the history of graffiti art. RTW covered the period from 1976 well into the end of subway graffiti in the 1990’s. Known from their very psychedelic origins… from central parks band shell to the one tunnel…. Where hippie meets Hip-Hop, the funk gets stronger! And beyonder!
Opening 6-8pm May 4, 2012
The most anticipated Air Jordan release for me this year is the ‘Olympic’ VI retros dropping to coincide with the Londontown Olympiad.
First of all, the VI is the shoe which Jordan rocked for his first championship run so that right there should end all arguments, but the white and navy leather rocks so hard with so much of my lifestyle program it’s not even funny.
I’ll definitely be lining up for these in July. HARDBODY!
You must prQA’li think I’m pretty didactic when it comes to talking about footwear and specifically boots. Well I am. I live for this shit. And I live for the hybrid boot – trail runner – sneakers which come from the Nike All Conditions Gear brandway.
Peep these Air Talaria boots I come up on for $34.99 thanks to my friends at Cork Clothing. Cork posts Nike outlet deals on the daily. Make sure you subscribe to their e-mail feed so that you stay plugged in.
