    I’m still a toy and tagged a lot of spots in my city, but I regret doing that bcs, whenever I drive past a tag I think, damn that’s a shitty tag😂 but I don’t worry about it because I changed my tag already. Now ima just practice this new name more in the books before getting up.

    Beef is so annoying to deal with if u don’t want it
  • @curtiscruncher
    I miss being a toy, honestly being a toy was the funnest part of my graffiti career, meeting writers, getting in beef but mostly it was the seeing progression of you and your friends getting better at the craft
  • @Taskoism
    Before even watching it… usually using the word toy makes me think the person is a toy lol.
  • @thefuzzymonsta
    This dude is a Toy. Like a super toy. The king toy of all the toys in toyland.
  • Yeah, made my first piece couple of days ago in a deserted building spot and graffiti feels like a game when you don't rules. Like what hieararchy, who is who, over what I can paint and where I shouldn't - just lots of stuff unrelated to painting and having fun. My perspective to it - be humble, practice your craft, respect other's peoples art and creative process.

    I need to show my toy homie this, I’m trying to stop him but he keeps putting a crown on his work 🙄
  • @sole__doubt
    If I never fell off this would be my 30th year writing. Man the game has changed since 94 thats for sure.
  • What sucks about social media is how fast a rumor can spread about you, even if its not graff related, and somehow it manages to slip into you're graff carrear. The problem is people arent checking the facts and once one person has beef with you, all of a sudden, everyone does.... Its funny tho cuz once they meet you, they calm down 😂....
  • Just do your thing until it feels good and matches your idea. Don’t worry about gatekeeping YouTubers who want everything to look the same. Your job isn’t impressing critics. Your endeavor is to write on stuff. Learn from the process, not a parasocial relationship
  • @tobyslol
    i think the overstyling thing is the thing that shows that youre toy the most, i always keep telling people that simple is better.
  • For some people graffiti beef is all they have going on in their life, and in some cases that’s the only way for some people to gain “street cred”. It really is ridiculous.
  • @JamarrDaArtist
    Brooo facts other artist literally went into my DM talking trash bout ima toy.
  • I don’t do any of those things, maybe I am not a Toy but only a beginner 😅😮
  • Did you see ENVE blast an entire Kardashian Billboard with STDR‽ I feel like there’s a movement to battle big pieces churning up
  • @organect
    Just do it, get better, and don't go over anyone's dope shit unless you hate them and are willing to deal with potential consequences.
