“CHAKA” I Hope you doing good carnal probably You forgot about me but I can forget The famous CHAKA in the west back home I was with you in RID! Keep doing what you doing I just saw You video on you tube! God bless you carnal!!!!
Hey Daniel, we were the ones that gave you that famous name CHAKA. I grew up in Aliso Village Projects by TMC area. Just want to let you know you are a bad ass! Remember FLEW from W247? I remember you riding your scateboard with your backpack..anyway nice seeing you again on this video.
Thats Daniel Ramos one of my child hood friend he got his name in the early-mid 80s from his peers at Utah str. elementary in Aliso Village Projects...We called him Chaka cause he had long hair and look like Chaka from the old T.V show land of the lost and he took that name to fame who woulda thought..
I remember Chaka. All the news stories. Growing up near Los Angeles I remember seeing his work in the streets when I went up there. Some of these people are super talented. It's great they are using their skills for something positive, instead of just messing up peoples property.
I remember getting caught by SDPD for ditching school in the 90s...they brought us back to school without searching us and my homie caught a tag in the back of the cop car with a streaker. I was like fuck they gonna come get us now cuz we were up all over.
I have never known why graffiti is said to "deface" an object or building. Writers like chaka give emotionless things faces and personalities. long live graff
He inspired me as a kid to hit up every where I went from So East LA where I grew up to billboards overpasses freeways and whole city’s I miss the rush of it there’s no drug like it.
He was a tagger, that's all he did, I never saw any murals, I went to L.A high with some of the guys from TNT and 2nd2None, he was crazy, he tagged everywhere, i used to tag on the walls myself, but I hit up my neighborhood,
1.Does the name belong to a legend? 2. If the answer to #1 is Yes change name 3. Can you prove via photo you wrote the name first ? If yes keep the name 4. Final rule CAN YOU BURN THEM? If not... This is the way i understand name acquiring I'm not an expert just thought I'd attempt to impart some knowledge. One
I was tripping out because being so young i wasn't born when he was active active, butt there a new hit up around tha corner from my house by the Compton Court House..DOPE SHIT
From Wisk's "W" throwups, to West Coasts Artists' "Wildstyle" pieces along the Venice Blvd corridor to the L.A. street gangs warring with Graff artists CHAKA was the name that always stood out... He truly bombed the city!!
So how can Chakas tags the illegal ones still be up in L.A. after all these years?? I know he does legal store paintings..I wonder if he still goes out at night to get up?
@@Dinhster Haha! Just checked it out and yea I'm surprised the legend is still up to his old tricks.. I'm 41 now was a tagger since 13 quit long ago but as a true writer that urge still gets me wanting to go out and claim my fame but in my case it's just not worth the risk..
Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where moth and rust do not destroy, and where thieves do not break in and steal.… Matthew 6:19-20
When I would go down to Tj, I would see the names "SUEÑO" "PATRON" "SHENTE" "MUYAM" "DUAL" all from H.E.M. crew All over Tj, Rosarito, Ensenada, Mexicali, Tecate, those dudes weren't fucking around down there either, this was in the 90's and some of they're tags, bombs, pieces, are still around today, legends over there too.
Chaka once tagged one of the windows of a market my dad owned and when I saw it I was so hyped!!!

True

CHAKA was ahead of his time. Today everyone wants to brand themselves.....CHAKA was already doing it!! #respect
chaka was committed. he went writing all thru the night, til around 5am. that's how he was able to get up everywhere.
Chaka killed it back then. saw his tag in random ass pool at abandono house in middle nowwhere. one of things that brought me into writin
I remember Chaka. All the news stories. Growing up near Los Angeles I remember seeing his work in the streets when I went up there. Some of these people are super talented. It's great they are using their skills for something positive, instead of just messing up peoples property.
I was like 13 14 seeing chaka everywhere if your 34+ you remember this guy he's Los Angeles!!

T Black I don’t ever see anyone talk about minor from wca
I grew up in the SFV and that dude Mobbed!! I'm 43 now and I remember seeing that foo hit up everywhere.
I remember getting caught by SDPD for ditching school in the 90s...they brought us back to school without searching us and my homie caught a tag in the back of the cop car with a streaker. I was like fuck they gonna come get us now cuz we were up all over.
I saw his name in north Hollywood this month man i should of taken a pic
crazy he was all over Central Cali too
you never see that in France! a graffiti artist rise to the rank of star
I have never known why graffiti is said to "deface" an object or building.
Writers like chaka give emotionless things faces and personalities.
long live graff
Because not everyone thinks it looks cool maybe
OG back in the day. Inspiration that gave me a vision to tag all RTD buses back in the day SINCH for life.
Did you go to Hollywood High? Unless you’re a different “Sinch”, you and I hit a few places. “KNS”
He inspired me as a kid to hit up every where I went from So East LA where I grew up to billboards overpasses freeways and whole city’s I miss the rush of it there’s no drug like it.
I have no idea if this true, but one legend about Chaka is that he even tagged his name in a judge's chamber of a courtroom building.
I remember seeing Chaka everywhere I'm frm Pasadena & when i go on the 110 freeway I'd see it there to
Nobody got up like this dude. You couldn’t escape his name!
He was up in a few spots in SF, I'm glad he can tag all he wants now cause cops ain't arresting writers
I used to see his tag all over the 110 freeway back in the early 90s.
My man Chaka I still be seeing your tags all over LA
Dope took L.A. to a Vandal level back n the day..getting up! 🎨
Chaka and Oiler were the gamechangers.
_You the man Chaka. I'm was an ol skool 90's tagger too_
I remember seeing Chaka in the walls everywhere and wondering what it meant and if they were the same person.
When I spray I get that euphoric feeling
Well sir that’s cause you’re getting high from the cans lol
Write a book Chaka! We need more stories! Rock on!
He doing what he’s passionate about. That’s true success in life. Finding yo ur passion.

This dude was a legendary tagger in LA.Did he ever get caught?
He was a tagger, that's all he did, I never saw any murals, I went to L.A high with some of the guys from TNT and 2nd2None, he was crazy, he tagged everywhere, i used to tag on the walls myself, but I hit up my neighborhood,
Question... what happens if you tag a name that’s already tagged? I just found out I was tagging a name my whole life and it was already used .
1.Does the name belong to a legend?
2. If the answer to #1 is Yes change name
3. Can you prove via photo you wrote the name first ? If yes keep the name
4. Final rule CAN YOU BURN THEM?
If not...
This is the way i understand name acquiring I'm not an expert just thought I'd attempt to impart some knowledge.
