A few weeks ago the team at UNKUT.COM did a great review of the MARC ECKO produced video game ‘Getting Up – Contents Under Pressure’. I wish that I had this available to me when I was a kid. Instead I had to get up for real to experience the exhilaration that comes from doing some youthful dumb shit.
It’s good for kids that they have this video game because the mayor of NYC has made graff artists into public enemy #1. The belief is that if you can curtail the anarchistic scrawlings of children you can stop the real quality of life crimes like muggings and murders. I don’t see the direct connection and I think that serious felonies have a stronger relationship to drug enforcement, but what do I know anyhoo?
What I do know is that UNKUT’s review makes me want to go over my kid brother’s crib and jump on the PS2 system. I mean, could you imagine a 300lb. forty year old hopping fences and running from cops? What do I look Mexican to you?!?
Shouts to my peeps – MQ, KYLE, JON156, RAB, Inner City Roundtable of Youth
I know exactly what the Mayor means, everytime I used to tag something I had the urge to rob somebody…and when I did a burner I had to cap that off with some kind of violence. Even when I was just doing school projects.
JSRF is better
JON AND KYLE WHOLE CARS BITCHES!!!!!!!!
Nice.
Another band-aid on the gaping gun shot wound.
Idunno – being a young Philly cat in the 80’s, it was ALL Graf, (Back when handstyles were king) and I did my dirt.
I don’t think if I was a snotnose now, that during quarter-circle turns on a PS2 controller would do it for me.
Graf was serious, and cats died for the love. I keep hearing the game is wack, but I gotta give props for somebody trying to respect the element.
A Yankees cap?
^yeah, navy/white suede Pumas and a navy blue B.V.D.
