AGUADILLA GRAFFITI HISTORY

IN THE BEGINING OF THE 90S I MET A GUY NAMED RIC VERY HUMBLE GUY WE TRADED FLICKS FOR A COUPLE OF YEARS TILL THE INTERNET CAME ABOUT . I STARTED A MAGAZINE THE FIRST PUERTO RICO BASED MAGAZINE CALLED C.O.T. CREATIONS OF TALENT . IT WAS DEDICATED TO A LONG TIME FRIEND THAT PASSED TRUE 2 OF THE BRONX MAGAZINE WERE SPREADING ACROSS THE WORLD AND I CHOSE TO SHOW WHAT PR HAD AT THE MOMENT I GOT REALLY DEEP INTO LEARNING MY PR HISTORY IN 93 A BUNCH OF CAGUAS WRITERS AND I TOOK THE DRIVE TO FIND AGUADILLA WRITERS . FINDING A WRITER BACK THEN WAS LIKE FINDING 20 BUCKS IN THE STREET HARD TO FIND .WE VENTURED OF AND MADE IT TO AGUADILLA PROJECTS LOOKING FOR FLAVOR WHOM AT THE TIME WAS THE OLDEST AND MOST RESPETCED ARTIST THERE . FROM THERE ON WE MET MANY OTHERS LIKE RIC ,FLAVOR, KONE, CE, MOS, FOM R.I.P. ETC ETC RIC HAD THE SAME INTEREST OF HISTORY AND THIS IS WHAT HE SHARED WITH ME ALMOST 13 YEARS AGO. BEFORE I FORGET RIC HAS BEEN ONE OF PUERTO RICOS BIGGEST PR GRAFF HISTORIANS . AGUADILLA IS ON THE WEST SIDE OF THE ISLAND 2 HOURS AWAY FROM THE METRO AREA OF THE ISLAND US METRO WRITERS CONCIDER THE WEST COAST THE CALM PART OF THE HISTORY OF PR .

IN 1984BA WRITER FROM NYC CAME TO PR BY THE NAME OF CEPSTER. WITH HIS BLACK BOOKS HE INFLUENCED CHINO ZULU WHOM ALSO CAME FROM NYC . THEY MOTIVATED WRITER CE.ONE. CHU(RAMBO) ,ALLSKY, AND NANCY THEY ALL INFLUENCED MANY WRITERS BUT THEY WERE PAPER BOYS STICKING TO BLACK BOOKS PAINT ON ISLAND WASNT AS EASY TO COME BY WE DID HAVE KRYLONS AND OTHER PAINT BUT NOT AS FRUITY LIKE THE US THE BLACK BOOK MATERIAL MOTIVATED REZ AND FLAVOR . BY 85 ALLSKY DID HIS FIRST PIECE (FILA) THE SAME YEAR CE AND ZULU ROCKED OUT A ZULU NATION WALL . AFTER SOME TIME THEY TRAVELED BACK HOME TO NYC AND SAW TRAINS ROCKED BY WANE C.O.D. BEING INFLUENCED BY BEAT STREET AND WILD STYLE WHILE IN NYC WHEN HE CAME BACK TO THE ISLAND HE CAME BACK WITH A DIFERENT MENTALITY ON THE ART FORM . REZ AND WRITER LEN ROCKED THERE PIECE (ZOCK 86). FLAVOR ONE OF AGUADILLAS BEST WRITERS HOOKED UP WITH BORN MOTIVATED BY THE BOOK SUBWAY ART DID THERE FIRST PIECE (BOY ) 86 87

REZ MET MAZE AND DID VARIOUS PIECES (NANCY, ,LOVE, BKLYN) BY 1988 GRAFFITI HAD TAKEN OVER TO ITS HIGHEST LIMIT EVER CE.ONE WAS AT TOP OF THE GAME ALSO FLAVOR EARNING HIS PROPS DURING THE NEXT YEARS IT DID DIM DOWN BUT THERE WAS A HUGE BOOM OF TAGGING ACROSS THE WEST COAST MUCH INFLUENCED BY MAYAGUEZ KING DUKE . AND MANY MORE RIC AND I WOULD LIKE TO GIVE OUR RESPECTS TO ALL OLD SCHOOL WRITERS OF THE WEST COAST WITH OUT THESE GUYS GRAFFITI WOULD HAVE NOT EXISTED !
