When I was a teenager, I worked at an ice cream store in a mall and would trade ice cream for food to a local graffiti artist who worked at the Panda Express. We became friends through this haha. He was well known and respected in the local graffiti community. He would have me roll with him on countless occasions to "hit up" and in the process we would have some amazing conversations. Sometimes they were whispered to keep from being caught, other times we could relax more and drink some tall cans and smoke a joint. This friendship although in a risky setting kept me from getting in a lot of trouble in other aspects of my life. As I got older, he was there to guide me on the right path. Getting a career, being present for my daughter, learning to manage my anger and spread love. This episode made me feel like I was that 17-year-old fearless kid again watching my older homies back while getting kicked some knowledge from an OG. RIP King PLEX 83
i dont think u realise how much of a legend niceo is.. Dude gets up and BIG too.. All writers take part in tagging no matter the skill level.. it is the fundamental part of graffiti.
@@anthonyforde2772 I see, still feels goofy calling people that paint on walls writers, either artist or vandal depending on the location seems more appropriate
@@ryanhowe2259 bro bushcamp has been writing for years and has had his face on social media for a while now I agree it’s not the smartest idea but pretty sure he doesn’t have a record (correct me if I’m wrong)
Pretty soon tommy is gonna be in the middle of a war interviewing soldiers and running through cover for his documentaries. Dude is dedicated. What an amazing job.
Love it, but I wish it was longer and more in depth. With NYC's graffiti history there are so many old school writers and other more current writers you could have also linked with. With NYC graf there's so much history and so many stories to be told. But im glad you covered the tiny bit you did.
im guessing its just hard for TommyG to cold call random big names and say "Hey I wanna talk to you with a big fat camera in your face, hows that?" Happy hes able to get at least footage with someone unique
Pleaseeee film graffiti bombers its a totally different game. climbing buildings, catching fills infront of people, running from the feds. Alot of writers like the rush of being in the streets and not chill spots like this hahaha no hate but it would be way more interesting
He doesn’t understand bombing and neither does like 95% of society. It’s something only other writers are into honestly. Some things are best just left to be found and understood on their own!
@@CANControlGRAFFITI tax dollars are being destroyed. Graffiti costs a lot of money to abate not to mention its other peoples property. So yes things are being damaged
Props to the firefighters for being so chill about it. They even wrote cavemen for giggles, lol. I used to be a pretty big writer in the mid 90's early 20's. I really miss those days
This is very cool. As a writer my self, tunnels and chill spots like those are only a part of the scene. Lots of writers hit red hot spots that are very visible and dangerous. Those writers focus on getting up than dropping burners in a chill spot.
I only came across your channel today and so far I've now spent the past few hours watching your video's and think they're great. You and your crew do an amazing job because your all respectful towards everyone you interview, you come across as a really likeable character that asks the right questions so us viewers aren't left scratching our heads. Love to see alot more on people in America as I live in London UK and we have alot of similar issues but not come across anyone yet that does what you guy's do. Lol.
I’ve been part of the graff scene since I was 13 and I’m 22 now. Im one of the very few younger writers in my city (New Haven, CT) that breathes graff. People still do it, but not as many young writers do it fr they just fucking around. So I love that you’re exposing my generation to this way of life. My Pops wrote in Brooklyn in the 90s and I used to love taking the train down w him as a kid and seeing the pieces. THANK YOU Tommy G for documenting this iconic part of American culture ❤🙏
I live in Shelton and there's pretty dope huge spots like abandoned train tracks under highway that has half a football field long walls on both sides and there's huge pieces on every inch of it
Dam I feel like I’m getting old I started painting in 06 but just tags didn’t get to bomb until 2013 then I kept moving up wigs I would’ve started bombing early would’ve been more beast I just started my graff channel to document my shit
Man as a writer it’s hurts me to hear Tommy trashing tags and toy work. You don’t understand and that’s cool but try to learn before trashing people for getting up. You wouldn’t have That beautiful work without that person starting doing trash tags. It’s all apart of the process and it’s all art.
Nah the best graffiti writers in the world still catch tags, it’s part of the art form. Those “ugly” tags may be from the same people who do the pieces these casuals praise. Can’t have it both ways, no one just pieces pretty pieces.
I used to be a writer and have done a ton of missions with real crews, not trying to catch any felonies for trains or throwups at this point in my life but graffiti helped shape me as a teen. Big ups to the writers still out there doing their thing and expressing themselves. Good to see it still alive in some sense. Long live NYC Graff. Shoutout JA, Klops, Cope,TFV, EZK.
You can go for year and years never getting caught if you do it solo all my homies write but I never join em cuz all of them have been caught several times over the years
Not me sitting outside a tire shop in Wichita “out of town” from Kansas City & being right next to a train watching all of the ART going by feet away from me admiring the talent…then this man Tommy popping up with a history of ART!
So many different cities you could do this in. Detroit, LA, SF etc. I wish this vid was 3 times longer. But thanks for this. Loved graff since 92’ and will forever love it.

i love the wibe down in the tunnels, seems like a chill spot to go and check out. It reminds me of when i just walked the trainline taking photos and looking for cool spots to paint. Now i only paint semilegal walls under the highway. But back in the days we where hitting subway stations! Its so quiet at the same time you can feel the adrenaline rush when you hear a noise. And i love to take the subway to the station the next day to check it out before they buff it. Much love from Oslo Norway! :)
If that Amtrak train in the tunnel was actually blowing its horn and not just an SFX you put on after the fact then the conductor definitely saw you because they never use their horn underground in NYC.
I've been writing for so long I don't even really give it much thought. I'm a grown ass man. Lol honestly I'll prolly do it till I die. I got into it through art and breakdancing, then tattooing. Painting letters as tall as you can reach is so much fun. It's a love letter to the streets. FGCrew 512 ATX

Its nice to see the Big Apple writers doing their stuff big respect to all the real writers out there fr. That Raekwon piece was priceless . This guy was a real one great content Tommy u killing it atm.
By far one of the most interesting topics you've talked about, when I was a kid I was always curious about graffiti and the culture around it. Thank you for this amazing video :)))
Yeah I'm in Austin and it's not hard to get up here at all. Also people don't fuck with you. I've painted midday in very public places and nothing has ever happened. It's just like "okay that guy really is doing that right now" like yeah your not gonna get out your car and stop me. I'll be gone the time the cops get there. Just look at the color scheme I'm using and the tonal choices I've made. ❤
@@Lil-Britches Yeah bit different here in NZ, a lot of uppity Karens who would report you. I've always been close to the cities even as big as they are, nothing compared to New York but we had to find good places to do big pieces discreetly.
The freedom tunnels (the place this was recorded) is an amazing place, me and my friends go there sometimes. Its wild down there cus sometimes homeless guys chill there and u gotta watch out cus theyre dangerous
We are gonna look back and use this dudes shit in history class. He documents and gives voices to the people who aren't heard and understood. He gives a great platform for all walks of life. Thank you Tommy!
Graffiti is a brilliant form of art especially when it's good pieces not just tags. It would brighten up cities and towns if they let portions of the walls and buildings be used as art platforms. The colours the styles the creativity it's limitless. Cool video
Dope! Now go to the West Coast and hang with those graffiti artists. Let the world see how crazy diverse graffiti artists are, yet it’s all one culture. Simply beautiful.
been subscribed to Tommy since around 30k when he was making the freestyle gas station videos.. to see someone come such a long way is crazy, these videos are a Netflix series quality.. insane.
Wow , Niceo is a legend for sure. I didn't know he has been writing so long. Also, Billy from the Graffiti Wanderer channel is dope af. Thanks for the great content
I love the video as always! Crazy the things you document! Happy to see the subs going up!!👏🏻 Video idea…catching big river catfish by hand, noodling! I’d love to see your take on that eventually even though you probably have better ideas already
Art is so subjective. Funny if somebody just wants to vandalize, but happen to manifest their monk ancestor calligraphist spirit a-la Rammellzee and suddenly the collective consciousness says it's art. Like, when you criticize money well enough, you get rewarded for that, with money.
I have always been interested in graffiti since I was a kid. I love the different styles and colors and how from place to place how it differs. I went to Germany and their Graffiti has different styles over there.
I grew up in a very small town in the midwest USA, like 500 people. Watching the trains with all sorts of graffiti come through was a highlight of my childhood.
What people dont understand about tagging, is the fact that each person can have a unique "handstyle" they bring to their tags. While its not as flashy as a piece or throwie. Tagging has a special place in the world of graffiti - good tags can be just as recognisable as a huge piece with bold lettering and colours.
Big Tommy G, big fan. Just as a great subculture doc suggestion. Hardcore, especially beatdown is a very interesting culture. Crowd killing, spins kicks, and pits would be a great video to see from you. Keep it up my man!

The ending was dope. New favorite TH-cam channel
Tommy may not be pregnant but he never fails to deliver🎉
You thought that was gone hit 😂
I love Tommy’s videos. Wish they were a little longer
always loved taggers like kid pk and more prominent street artists like banksy. thanks for this amazing documentary. "graffiti" is ART
Art is so subjective. Funny if somebody just wants to vandalize, but happen to manifest their monk ancestor calligraphist spirit a-la Rammellzee and suddenly the collective consciousness says it's art. Like, when you criticize money well enough, you get rewarded for that, with money.
Don’t put PK KID in the same convo as Bansky lmao. Two different worlds . Respect to PK legend
swear every tommy g video is a banger fr
I have always been interested in graffiti since I was a kid. I love the different styles and colors and how from place to place how it differs. I went to Germany and their Graffiti has different styles over there.
I grew up in a very small town in the midwest USA, like 500 people. Watching the trains with all sorts of graffiti come through was a highlight of my childhood.
I went to Mexico it's amazing how different graff is in different countries
You have to do another video with Bushcamp, this was amazing :)
Lmao I love how he said they can’t get in from there and then they do
They cut right to them coming from that side directly after he said that too. Lol Those firefighters know those tunnels as well.
Hell yeah glad you got invited by some graffers!!!! Good content mayne..keep ‘em comin
What people dont understand about tagging, is the fact that each person can have a unique "handstyle" they bring to their tags. While its not as flashy as a piece or throwie. Tagging has a special place in the world of graffiti - good tags can be just as recognisable as a huge piece with bold lettering and colours.
JA JA JA JA
Big Tommy G, big fan. Just as a great subculture doc suggestion. Hardcore, especially beatdown is a very interesting culture. Crowd killing, spins kicks, and pits would be a great video to see from you. Keep it up my man!
Love this I do graffiti and Im glad you made a documentary about it, people make it look worse than it is. Thanks
Do a sequel! This was very interesting and entertaining
As a Midwest Tattooer I did not expect to see this on Tommy’s channel. What a pleasure.
Bushcamp is lit good episode
