    Risking it all for a tag on a train. What an amazing experience it must have been. God bless all of the lost souls who tagged NYC during the 1970s.
    My favorite artist was CLIFF! I was able to track down some artists still alive today and asked them what happened to him. Only one replied. He died of AIDs during the 1980s epidemic. RIP Cliff.

      I was one of them. Crews such as TPA, BYB, RTW, TC, & TOP were just starting out. Top to bottoms on subway cars was the norm and if the transit police caught you, they’d beat your a**! What an era!!😎

    Great documentary, thanks for sharing. 1976, that's pretty early on and it's great to see the old writers and styles. I love hearing the mixed reactions, some regular citizens really understood and enjoyed what was happening. The older gentleman talking to Don was fascinated by his work and suggested that he should try to reach a broader audience because he thought it was great art.

It's kinda sad how all this history has been washed away and covered up ... It would be a dope find to see a couple of old pieces from the 70-80's even early 90s in my city but I doubt I'd ever come across a gem like that ... Anyways bless up and keep writing

    Yeah.. I was with the TTG , BBB and on my own, but mostly did the tags and top to bottom on the A and 1 only cuz it was my route back home in Washington heights! I just hope this kid who got me into it when we were in the 7th grade got to be a famous painter. His tag was SASO my was REME or Mac5. He could draw some really really amazing Leonardo DaVinci’s drawing and painting with such an accuracy that’s just wow you from your feet! Back then, it was the only thrill we got to express our minds and spent time out cuz being at home was such a boring time with no techies stuff to replaced with! 😊 BTW, I did make it through college with BSEE and came out fine. Art, Science, Music and Math are the language of the Universe! Peace out bro 😎

I once lived on West 163rd street. The individuals speaking in the clip must be the last of the white residents left in the neighbourhood. It's overwhelmingly Dominican now. 6:08 is West 83rd Street in Manhattan.

      Some of your info is wrong. Looks like you took this from an article or another website.
      Bambaataa wasn't known in 1976. He came into prominence in 1977. Grandmaster Flash and the Furious Four didn't exist yet. Melle Mel in his own words said he didn't start emceeing for Flash until late 1977. The Furious Four didn't form until 1978 when Scorpio joined. Cowboy (only) was down with Flash in 1976. Brothers Disco started in 1976. L Brothers might have started a little before them. Can't speak on Caz aka Casanova Fly & Disco Wiz. You left out DJ Smokey who was before a lot of them and was Herc's rival. Of course Disco King Mario, Kool DJ Dee and Tyrone the Mixologist, Pete DJ Jones who was pre-hip hop but inspired a lot of the Bronx DJ's, Lovebug Starski was another one

      Cool to see this----there are still graffiti artists in other places, like Detroit,for example, still doing their thing. Interesting to see how the scene was before it became a part of hip-hop. There's a 1981 indie doc called Stations of the Elevated which is a display of graffiti train art,too.

Also notice how the 3yb slightly overlaps the "e" in seen? Also notice the fresh white thrown over the piece above Seens? That all says that those two piece are older and someone came along and threw down some tags near their stuff. This documentary is from 1976... Seen started in 1973...
