HOW ABOUT “CHANGE” we voted obama into office, as President of the UNITED STATES because we wanted the, so called “CHANGE” the majority of Obama’s votes came from young AMERICANS.. MUSIC, HIP HOP, GRAFFITI, PROMOTED HIM (I personally believe if it wasn’t for the fact that YOUNG PEOPLE supported Obama, that would not be in the position that he is in today, “OBEY” created the OBAMA IMAGE, that we see in TIME MAGAZINE as well as other popular magazines, OBEY’s obama design was also on SHIRTS, Pins ,and the stickers you saw on car windows during the eleciton.. we can use Graffiti/ URBAN ART to boost politics, but in the end POLITICS STABS US IN THE BACK the government CENSORS US,

i went to a Young Jeezy concert before the president was elected and all he did was promote BARAK OBAMA he made a song dedicated to him… ppl sang and CHANTED “OBAMA” “OBAMA” repeatedly…
(i strongly believe we put him in office)

i think theese comming up YEARS IF WE REALLY WANTED CHANGE its the prime time to do it… I THINK IF WE ALL COME TOGETHER and protest/Rally things can get done…

THE CITY OF LOS ANGELES, maybe thought they Made an impact to graffiti Artists, in LA. but its not just that, THEY HURT THE WORLD with this act… LA is effected yeah but i bet GERMANY is effected, i bet BELGIUM is effected i bet AUSTRALLIA is effected… they DID damage to the world, they didnt necassrily hurt graffiti artists, they HURT ALL ARTISTS’… TATTOO ARTISTS, FINE ARTISTS, anybody who appreciates art THEY EFFECTED… SELFISH ACT THAT THE LA GOVERNMENT ALLOWED TO TAKE PLACE…

(THEY SAY GRAFFITI CAUSES A NEIGHBORHOOD OF CRIME AND VIOLANCE)
maybe the children that FLUNK (FAIL) out of school or even get bad grades caused by the lack of helpful school resources, such as textbooks, cause the crime and violence in the neighborhood because they get demotivated, from a shitty book… so they spend there time in the streets rather than the books, learning…

“ITS TIME FOR CHANGE SO STEP UP AND LETS CREATE this CHANGE”!

YA”LL r just a bunch of dumbasses, that did this shit for like a 12 dollar an hour paycheck…. but what u dont realize is that you destroyed history…

when banksy came to new orleans to put some productions up or do his thing after katrina struck… the owner got pissed off because he thought somene vandalized his 30,000 dollar hut that he lived in his piece of shit shack but what he didnt realize was when banksy painted it, the value of the house skyrocketed to prob somewhere in the millions and the guy after regretted paintin it over , because of the tragic event and the meaning and because it came from banksy, well fuck banksy its not about him its about saber… hes’ the banksy to LA hes’ the banksy to the world…

so buff crew know that u just fuucked up history and theres no way u can fix that… theres no way u can unpaint it… and its done.. u destroyed something that was alive…. and full of energy.. i didnt see any gang related stuff next to it i didnt see any vulgar profanity saber used… i just saw a huge _(HUGE MURAL) so STR8UP buff crew for real i kno u needa job and u prob were unemployed be4 this company hired u but just think ur hurting the community rathre than helping it. YOU, destroyin this piece probably will cause more violence and more probs than if u just left it because now people are pisssed off..

that LA RIVER painting probably was a homeless mans “hope” his inspiration it prob was something that kept his ass happy… maybe while he lost everything else in life… u destroyed the community

get it thru your skull buff crew….. now that homeless man is prob goin to go nuts and go after u cuz u messed up his one true joy in life …..

i wouldnt be suprised..

BUFF CREW or whatever u call urselves, ya’ll are prob the value of the LA RIVER WATER to the communtity or to the world, think of that…

i gotta say SABER has got so much respect from me and other artists across the world… he gets respect but he gives it 2 he aint stuck up…
he’s straight up… i met him up at a Jersey JOE gallery, in LA a few months back.. i had just gotten back from piecing at a NATIONAL PARK the day b4/ and border patrol popped up on us like 30 feet above us on a mountain… all decked out in camoflauge…he let us finish paintin which i was in shock cuz i thought we were done for… well in LA i pulled my cam out n’ showed him the pics’ he commented and asked questions n’ all… i asked if i could getta pic of him and revok… and he made it like priority like be4 he had left to getta pic w/ me…

that was my first time meetin graffwriters of such high fame and it came by quantity that the place had a ton of MSK members inside…

(i’m from the eastcoast, i been in the westcoast for a little under a year now) and eastcoast i mean florida, and not miami so you gotta figure theres not much of a scene other than miami… i never made it down to miami despite the fact that i lived in florida my whole life, but i heard from a writer that had just moved down to florida from a known crew called JAO Jersey ALL Out… that he met COPE2 and all he would tell me was he didnt like him.. (he made comments that cope2 was stuck up and full of his self, and wouldnt give ya a second of his time, he thought he was gods’ gift to the world and nobody else mattered, (cope’s got talent but hearing that he was cocky made me not like em as much)

i expected MSK to be the same, b4 meeting them i thought they would think they were better than everyone else, turns out they MAD COOL!!!

just gotta state that…

I never got to see it first hand in real life but for fuck sake it so epic it was even on google earth.

Plus people are just gonna go over it, white paint doesn’t stop graffiti. Its something that society will just have to deal with forever. Especially this spot people will be so pissed there will be tributes to Saber there for years to come.

RIP River piece, Saber must be broken up.

you are a complete fucktard. obama has nothing to do with this. i doubt our mayor, anthony villaraigosa, had much to do with this. the citys legislature and whatnot are the asshats responsible for making this happen. the buff / abatement will never stop. so quit bitching and whining. saber’s piece was well documented and will never be left out of crucial los angeles graffiti history. whatever. life goes on. none the less, seriously large waste of money.
