Newspaper of the streets. Contrary to the relatively recent "art" interpretations that naive hip-hoppers have applied to graffiti, it is instead the longstanding form of communication by street gangs. Gangbangers place complex designs on public and private property to identify turf, to intimidate or disrespect enemies, and to display action orders.

Hip-hoppers who make impassioned defenses of graffiti as some "cultural artistic expression" simply confuse the issue for people in the mainstream. In its newest and least form, graffiti is simple vandalism by naive hip-hoppers. In its oldest and worst form, it is a mode of communication for domestic terrorists (gangbangers).
Hip-hop tagger boy thought it was a cool visual element to paint gleaming golden crowns upside-down in his graffiti. Then the LKs caught up with him and shot him four times in the base of his skull.

A stupid, ugly "form" of art that is a way of destroying property in the city that taxpayer dollars pay for.

An art that is drawn on walls, busses, houses ect by people whose parents could never afford to buy them coloring books.
Is that graffiti gangsta art or sometihng copied out of my little sisters coloring book?

Hey look at the gangsta over there scribbling graffiti! Hey here comes the police! Better pick up those pants and run!

a peace of art but people treated as something that is really bad so because of that people define it as a felony witch is not true because a lot of define it as art.
if they see a wall with graffiti letters people think is really bad so they don't agree with it.
