I did this first trip to NYC back in 2018. For some reason I got noticed there was an art event curated by Gonz for the 3 stripes brand, where were these popular and amazing artists on the line-up. Kinda innocent I went to the line trying to figure it out how to enter this VIP show, of course there was 0 possibilities to make it. Got rejected on line at my attemp. For any reason I stay on the line, then this dude came to me asking my name. He told me to stay behind him and his friends. When his turn came, this dude went to the security guard and told her: these guys behind me are coming with me. I got the bracelet and enter the show. No words, no explanation. Thanks Kunle, for any reason if your'e reading this: You made me have one of the best (by far) "dream" experiences on my entire life. J.
I love the grimy side of Graff the 80's - 90's had, The racking and grifting, The adventures without phones or pagers. I wish he told some more racking stories in detail. Earsnot has crazy Graff style too 💪
@@marley1995 I was born in the 70's so not qualified to speak on that really, I probably first noticed graffiti around 79 or super early 80's, I have no doubt it was lit though.
He’s such a great story teller. I could listen for another 3 or 4 more hours. I’m from a small city in the south with no graffiti at the time I got into wanting to paint (exaggerating, but basically), that’s when I found the Infamy video which was around 2011. I can still say to this day IRAK, specifically Earsnot, was what influenced me the most and I can still say that to this day 12 years later. Now that I’m older I’ve been able to take many trips to NYC, and to be able to see actual ear and sace pieces still ALWAYS makes me fanboy out. Kunle, you’ve made such a remarkable impact on my life and I hope you know that man. ❤️
Guys idk if u realize this but the way you interview constantly leads the guest to forget the question or ramble a bit, be more concise with your questions and have a conversation. Like every interview ive heard from u guys, which are GREAT btw, ive noticed a pattern of people losing their train of thought and i usually cant finish the episode cuz of that. Just my 2 cents, keep killin it tho! I have alot of appreciation for u guys Stay blessed
I feel like they could benefit from writing down questions beforehand. Sometimes the questions are too long and vague like just rambling and then saying “what do you think about that?”
You guys gotta get AGUA on here some day because no one online talks about him at all when dude is legit a philly legend! You gotta ask him about the time he escaped from prison and bombed the city with 4EVER dude was even in MSK and IRAK for a little while too he's a treasure trove of info and yet no ones really taped into it yet he's so underrated it's not even funny KADISM too!
For those of you who liked NEMEL you're gonna love agua those two were tight and used to paint together all the time even him and NORM would do rollers in philly from time to time dude has done a lot and has so much ISM yet you'd never know it cause of how low key he is.. Now that I think about it most philly heads are low key they really aint about promoting themselves like that all this internet stuff is weird to old heads but they getting there😅
snot is the closest thing some of us have to a folk hero lol just the whole tale of a teenage runaway gay black man who lived on his own terms and threw hands at haters and led a epic crew... even down to his walls where it's just his tags on repeat... homie is a scene hero
Earshot, u always showed me respect. You are a beautiful person and rehab was always on point. Thank you for your service brother man. Irak crew is legendary and brought the best out of everyone I knew. I just wasn’t worthy and bold enough to do what you all did. Respectfully Optick BMK
I found this podcast just a bout a year ago same time I was getting into punk music and really pushin my graff game and it was so beneficial and motivational and when I found this show the first thought was why hasn’t earsnot been on here?? But this is what I’ve been waiting for! Cant wait to get the first issue in the mail keep it up peace and love✌🏼
THE GOAT!!! Been waiting for yall to do this episode 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼. We also need a ben solomon episode, another one from irak that’s really been doing dope shit for a whileee
What an awesome interview Kunles got keys to the city! Truly a NYC staple. I grew up in the west coast witnessed some of the best graffiti in LA and SF but a few years ago traveling to in NYC and seeing an Earsnot drip tag in person is one of the best graffiti pieces I’ve seen for many reasons.
Such an insightful and amazing interview!! Earsnot is the epitome of growth… he’s been thru shit was thriving then.. and still growing now! Really inspirational… and so dope to hear the success!! the same vibe is similar to sen4 interview! All about the artistry support.. and is art in motion!! Salute to everyone involved and changing my life!’ Art is forever
Took a trip to New York. I didn’t get to take any paint with me sadly. But I was in Brooklyn. And hardly seen any cops out. I can see how people get up out there. Seem a little to good to be true
Saw his tag in the early 2000's getting on the D train in The Bronx. Thought it was a weird name but it was up and that's all that matters. Interesting dude. Keep rockin 👊💯
This is so legit man. Got to say hi to chino in winnipeg the other day at the graffiti gallery, shit was legendary... I'm always around that area so that was so dope. Claw money did a mural outside the gallery too!
"Everything dope basically that has happened, has happened here" - classic New York perspective, lol. The dude is a fucking trip, great to hear his ramblings of a wild life. Drink every time he says "derelict"
Mad respect to the guy I just remember this movie from way back and me and my Homies always recognize this guy because he would always say the Bible…….
He so on point with graffiti writers having a unique style and you could tell they wrote, over sized north face back pack a Spyder mo jacket a lo gear sweater and hat with some asolo or Dolomites. Money racking for powders and Sebastian hair products. Man the good old days!!!!
Yoo ! dope interview and dope channel!♥ EARSNOT what a living legend i remember 15 years ago watching his stuff and make my own mop full of tint great days.
Damn, compared to his other interviews (Infamy) he seems depressed but he says he's in a happier more elevated and conscientious state. How you act on the outside isn't always how you are on the inside. PS: How can you do an interview with Earsnot and not mention SACE!? Ya'll slackin!
If your a graff fan and you're not a patreon member you're doing yourself a huge disservice. These two send out quality stuff every month...zines..prints...slaps...you fuck with graff sign up!!!
Bro Is looking jacked and real healthy these days with the new teeth. I’m happy for him & glad he’s getting out there with his artistic abilities after all his time in the street
Infamy was a huge part of the culture. It showed so many kids that way of life was done by so many more people than we could’ve ever thought.

You sound like a hipster kid and your parents paid for you to go to experience fine art but decided to go LES to feel dangerous 🤣
By the way is English not your first language?
@@marley1995 yeah that was pretty all over the place.
@@BLAZENYCBLACKOPS and I’m from LA not even from NYC and know this
Earsnot what a legend. Comes across as a good dude and looks like he's in a real happy place. Much success to him.
I always thought he came across and jealous of his friends. And a bit Obnoxious.
@@Chyeahokay he spends a good chunk of this podcast talking about how he was exactly that
I love that he's got paint on his fingers. True OG 🙌
I love the grimy side of Graff the 80's - 90's had, The racking and grifting, The adventures without phones or pagers. I wish he told some more racking stories in detail. Earsnot has crazy Graff style too 💪
If you lived it you don’t have to hear the stories. Don’t forget the 70s was popping too.
@@marley1995 I was born in the 70's so not qualified to speak on that really, I probably first noticed graffiti around 79 or super early 80's, I have no doubt it was lit though.
Swear he was more earl y noughties
So true. The internet ruined the adventure 😢 at least we get to see cool TH-cam stuff like this.

"I kinda feel sorry for them a little bit..." Earsnot talking about the Vandal Squad. 😄 So awesome.
All love to Kunle! He's such an inspiration. A LIVING LEGEND.

I agree man, love what u guys are doing btw. Sikunts
True I lile the fact that they let people talk but you ddf have to reel them back in especially kunle 😆
Let them speak the raw shit, who cares if it goes off topic.
good question for earsnot coz he’s adhd and can just ramble about interesting shit but the constant rereading of the question was a bit weird
I feel like they could benefit from writing down questions beforehand. Sometimes the questions are too long and vague like just rambling and then saying “what do you think about that?”

One of my faves & I’m from nyc I seen that hand selecta video he was in a while back and checked his shit out dude has a smooth fluid style
For those of you who liked NEMEL you're gonna love agua those two were tight and used to paint together all the time even him and NORM would do rollers in philly from time to time dude has done a lot and has so much ISM yet you'd never know it cause of how low key he is.. Now that I think about it most philly heads are low key they really aint about promoting themselves like that all this internet stuff is weird to old heads but they getting there😅
@Crumb De La Crumb yo YT is buggin I keep trying to reply to your comment but it wont let me kinda weird
CURVE

I dig this! Dudes def unique

He says he thinks that hiding your face was corny, but then he showed his face in “infamy” and got arrested and spent 5 years on probation…. So….
5 years probation for years of vandalism lol 😂 that’s nothing
Corny
Took a trip to New York. I didn’t get to take any paint with me sadly. But I was in Brooklyn. And hardly seen any cops out. I can see how people get up out there. Seem a little to good to be true
This was everything I expected it to be I love him asking what the question was a bunch
“I did fight people but I always stopped when they started bleeding…..” hahahaha I love this man
O'SNAP !
These kids don’t remember the o’snap days!
hahaha the hater years
Saw his tag in the early 2000's getting on the D train in The Bronx. Thought it was a weird name but it was up and that's all that matters. Interesting dude. Keep rockin 👊💯
This is so legit man. Got to say hi to chino in winnipeg the other day at the graffiti gallery, shit was legendary... I'm always around that area so that was so dope. Claw money did a mural outside the gallery too!
Yessssss been waiting for this 🙏🏾
Definitely one of the top 5 episodes. 🔥🔥🔥
I can relate to that story... Really nice to see one shine! Rock on!
This was a good one, one of the few I watched the whole thing
Epic pod right here.
"Everything dope basically that has happened, has happened here" - classic New York perspective, lol. The dude is a fucking trip, great to hear his ramblings of a wild life. Drink every time he says "derelict"
Mad respect to the guy I just remember this movie from way back and me and my Homies always recognize this guy because he would always say the Bible…….
Awesome. Dudes got funny stories
Nobody ever asks him about his relationship with Sace, which I’d like to hear about. (Unless I haven’t got to that part of the interview)
The man, the legend, the one and only... SNOTY
cook a beat while listening to this
Earsnot should make a T-Shirt with “Don’t Be A Derelict” on it ! Lol
earsnot is dope af i was lucky enough to meet him a few years back at a sneaker pimps event.
im glad he's still the same og
He so on point with graffiti writers having a unique style and you could tell they wrote, over sized north face back pack a Spyder mo jacket a lo gear sweater and hat with some asolo or Dolomites. Money racking for powders and Sebastian hair products. Man the good old days!!!!
Lo gear? That’s not even a brand.. you do know it’s Ralph Lauren right?
holy fuck dude yes! this a been a dream podcast ive been waiting for! thx guys dope work!
Salute to snot Love to see his brand blow up

Earsnot is the spirit of graffiti that lives inside many of us. He's the man.
Just come out bro...
@@TRUYORK718 ah yes because giving men compliments equals gay. i bet you are a anti styler
Hand style king ! Props to Irak rest in power Sacer
Living legend.
Yoo ! dope interview and dope channel!♥
EARSNOT what a living legend i remember 15 years ago
watching his stuff and make my own mop full of tint great days.
Shouts to my dawg Rehab & Earsnot!
“No face no case” isn’t just a catchy phrase.
Think Earsnot found that out as far back as Infamy lol
That’s what I mean, his face has been burnt so I’m definitely not talking about now.
SNOTTY SNOTTY EARS🤘 Love this hardcore dude! He was great on the INFAMY Graff documentary.
Damn, compared to his other interviews (Infamy) he seems depressed but he says he's in a happier more elevated and conscientious state. How you act on the outside isn't always how you are on the inside. PS: How can you do an interview with Earsnot and not mention SACE!? Ya'll slackin!
Seems like he was expecting more conversation to me.
Some of the memories he was recalling were kinda sad too R.I.P paul.
good guys but terrible interviewers
'Wasnt until I was with an adult I was like ohh I'm the crazy one' hahahaha
i love hearing earsnot speak
I got his skateboard from krooked it's pretty dope big ups to him congrats
Earsnot!!! Legend!!!
Much respect to IRAK

Good interview
Dope !!!
