Take an intense journey into the dangerous lives and obsessed minds of six of America's most prolific graffiti artists: Claw, Earsnot, Enem, Jase, Saber and Toomer. Directed by acclaimed filmmaker Doug Pray (Hype! and Scratch) who teamed up with writer publisher and graffiti guru Roger Gastman the movie takes you deep into the world of street legends Saber Toomer Jase Claw Earsnot and Enem. With brutal honesty humor and charisma these artists reveal why they are so willing to risk everything to spray paint their cities with "tags" "throwups" and full-color murals. You'll also meet Joe "The Graffiti Guerilla" Connolly a notorious "buffer" who paints out graffiti on his neighborhood's walls with a vengeance matched only by those who vandalized them. From the streets of the South Bronx to the solitude of a San Francisco tunnel from high atop a Hollywood billboard to North Philadelphia for a lesson in "Philly-style tags" from the Mexican border to a Cleveland train yard Infamy doesn't analyze or glorify graffiti... it takes you there and brings it to life.
This is great, well worth the money, I cant fault this movie, It's really well put together, at 90mins long never gets boring, everyone featured is a legend and the interviews are really interesting and funny. The 5 finger discount king Earsnot cracks me up with lines like " There are some things that I just WILL NOT pay for, I won't pay for any type of Gore Tex jacket or any kind of meat"!!!! The massive Toomer getting interviewed with his mum is a classic as is the story of Jase's trip to the docs and the fact he used to write "Master" but stopped because people wrote "Bater" underneath. Enem's handstyle is amazing to watch, anyone who thinks there's no skill in tagging , look and learn. Saber, is Saber, unbelievabley talented but modest with it, Claw easily rocks spots in the Bronx and beyond with Miss 17 that would make the most hardcore male bomber a bit twitchy and who wouldnt want Joe Connolly cleaning up their neighbourhood??
Spacehop says 5 out of 5 Hopsta's!!
I dont need to say anymore, just buy it!!!
