27 floors!!! They put in work.
And they'll do it again for sure, especially with all the publicity they be getting😂😂
I like how they all chose that reflective silver for maximum viewing potential!🤣
He told his Mamma that he was gonna make it big in LA 😂😂😂
Overtime
Well done!❤ 🎨
Love how they say a single tagger. No, this was a crew! Must be a slow night for the news.
lol camera man understood the assignment 😅 got the whole line up with the zoom in😂
How long it take them? Noone noticed?
2-5 minutes
Hell yeah, KTLA gave all the homies some extra fame...
I think it’s called Clout 😂
@@HeadNtheClouds nah homey... if you know anything about Graffiti, we've been callin it "fame" for a long time my gee... clout is whole different thing
WTF is "clout" or "fame". We the professional ones over here call it EXPOSURE
@@108mtsan all three terms could apply and fit here...but within the graff culture....it's been "fame", that's been the term my gee.
@@100yearsofwealth oh,, ok 👌
Thanks for giving the tagger publicity. Now he's famous.
U mean they its not a single person lol
Can't have nothing in L.A that isn't tagged on smh
Bro u use to graffiti now u pointing the finger
alas, this is why we cant have nice things
Next is the helicopter 😮
This is considered "respect" for the tagging crew communitites 🎉🎉🎉😂
They should educate themselves on what vandalism is.
No it isn't.
Can't be mad at this the effort is unreal
they are just hallways lol
also these two towers are directly across the street from crypto arena. you couldn't find a better location. this is actually legendary. or a PR stunt.
The effort is crazy I thought freeway graffiti was crazy but damm this beats crazy
Aliens making crop circles seem more believable, than a single person doing that in no time with nobody noticing.
This was several people
@@Volksoner619 Still, nobody noticed anything.
😂
Los Angeles is such a beautiful city. All of tthr drugged out people on the streets, homeless encampments, graffiti everywhere, its just gorgeous. Seems smart to put a big fancy building in LA without proper security.
Lol you don't live in LA, do you?
A university should conduct a study on these taggers and how effective they would be in the advertising/marketing world. Apparently its done to claim areas but also for other taggers and people to see
You can rest assured there are advanced studies of tagging cultures in some ivy league colleges.
I'm going to look into those studies, thank you for sharing@@maestrovso
That was done long ago and has been implemented for quite some time. Think of billboards and buses/bus stops.
Its not about "claiming areas" its about GETTING UP!
i would say a lot of people who did graffiti has great marketing skills lol
I think twas more than one "tagger"🤔
SINKOE definitely had the Dopest spot! His was the only one you could read on the “Zoom out”
That’s the work of multiple taggers not one tagger!
If the building is dormant, stuff it full of hobos!
We used to call them bums and no one thought anything of it.
Next story on the news will be when bums start occupying that building and end up burning it down like they did to the 10 fwy 😂 and the politicians and media will insist it wasn’t homeless
Rest In Peace Kilem 🙏 Forever The Kingdom
A dormant high rise AKA a property they wanted to use as an office but the market is oversaturated, couldn't build apartments because of NIMBY.
No. Condos.
These were condos, not offices. The developer who was behind this project was a Chinese property developer who went bankrupt, so now it's going through a lengthy legal battle of how lenders who loaned and invested money into this are getting their money back. This is going to take a very long time.
You covering this story is huge for him lol
The league of shadows did this That’s why nobody notice
They should've never built these big buildings there between Flower and Figueroa. Those lots were fine as parking lots for the Staples Center. These buildings are an eyesore. When I used to take the Blue Line to work every morning, we would get a good view of the Staples Center 🏀
bruh...that's fuggin epic! I recognize a lot of these names from the 710 frwy. Hope it stays up til' the weekend so i can go see it myself.
😂😂😂 recognizing names from the freeway. I never even try to read graffiti.
how on earth did someone manage that ?
Scaffolding that's in the video?
With the help.of California’s communist Newsome administration.
Likely an entire “crew”
Security just got his last paycheck...
How SWAY!😂 You would think they get paid with the amount of effort put into the tagging
To those saying this is not real art, Graffiti is one of the 5 elements of hip hop! Long live Graffiti and the 5 elements, know your history! Teach your kids! This is beautifully dope 🎨
Ayo, maaad props & respect!
There still more room
Thats what happes when they take forever to open the building😂
The taggers probably having a party watching this video 😂
What do these names mean? Are they the names of individuals? Definitely not the first time I’ve seen Tonek before. Also, where did Orex get his name from? 🧐🤔
Tonek gets around, seen his art under a San Diego bridge
Easy to figure out who done this. Just go to the tagging community, find their handles. In Japan, there is about less than 1% graffiti anywhere.
In Japan weed cost 50$ a gram
The people are with the artists 🎨
@@robowop9354 Art does not destroy property.
They don't prosecute stealing or drugs, you think they are going to prosecute tagging?
No we ain't. Just those little fans of theirs. We hate destruction of property. You don't see these taggers tagging up their own house lol@@robowop9354
I saw people in the building at 1:34 and 3:14
Not sure if it's a similar crew but back in the early 90s in the San Fernando Valley STP was a known tagging crew. But as kids we knew it as Setting The Pace. Set The Pace could be a contraction to fit the building space or could be the latest generation from the same crew or a similar outfit using that name now. This is not anything new in Los Angeles. It actually goes in cycles there's an explosion of graffiti by active groups then they get older or move on, popularity diminishes and goes underground for a few years but eventually resurfaces. The difference now is the rapid exposure that's available to post something online and reach massive audiences.
Same crew just the newer generation
Ayyyyy they got down!!! shout out from the las Vegas graff scene 🎉🎉
They got down downtown
Street Artist. The DA has a prize for best Street Art.
This should have NEVER BEEN broadcasted! KTLA is advertising for these so called "taggers". They're so many unknowns crossing the borders which makes this a bit scary. I sure hope that there are some FBI officials who aren't corrupt and hopefully finding out what this means & who did this.
Not OK to advertise for the taggers.
Thanks for giving these guys attention..
Now it's going to happen everywhere...
There tryna keep up with the miami building
That’s a roll call
I see sinkoe everywhere in LA.
Imagine thinking tagging is cool in 2024 Yikes 😬
It’s cooler now than ever lol. Imagine thinking it will ever go away 😂. Sorry to tell you there will always be humans marking things.
Cuz you’re a mark 😂
HATERS GONNA HATE PAINTERS GONNA PAINT
@@xJR0G15xit’s is tho lol wtf
@@Hezekiah1haha exactly he’s just a hater always hating on original content
People that tag other peoples property are just trash.
used to be city of angels. now city of thugs
City of Lost Angels*
A new level of reaching the heavens
they got Steven Hawkins running this damn camera
This isn't even a single crew, it's a whole community of them, organized, people coming from out of town just for this event.
😬 alot of these dudes blast there names and tags on there social media
Careful ☝️
We're not discussing enough that NO ONE WAS SEEN before they were done because how is this man floors possible
Why do they keep referring to them as “artists”? They are TAGGERS.
That was 3:45 min of FAME for free!!!😂😂😂
You spelled "vandals" incorrectly.
That security company didnt do their JOB right 😅😅 letting taggers set up a one of a kind murals
Man ngl that’s sick ! Let’s see any of u get up there!?
That's like marc ecko's getting up on the PS2 ... Awesome video game!
Now that’s impressive.. good work taggers of the night .
Sinkoe has my respect
Literally cannot be mad at this, this is just flat out impressive!
Los Angeles & surrounding, what a great place to live, particularly for those who enjoy carjacking/ car chases regularly, plenty of graffiti, homeless issues and no real law & order, and high taxes & cost of living, oh yeah it has great weather too.
The American Empire is FALLING... FAST! Imagine in 20 years at this pace?
Was always fallen.
Boy is being melodramatic
Jumex I wonder if he's Mexican 😆
todays new generation
More Iike TaggerS, different tagger went on a different floor, this was likely planned
The ultimate spot
Those idiots will brag about it on social media 😂😂
Police cars, freeways, trains, sky high buildings.... the only thing missing to complete the list IS THE WHITEHOUSE! 🎨🎨🎨
Like they think 1 person did all that lmao
Sinkoe de Mayo
Whats the point of this tagging?
Reclaim that property. Take it back from the billionaires. It belongs to us.
It doesn't, your money didn't pay it.
I see my grandma and grandpa are still putting in work
He sniffed a couple of lines and went off to work 🎉
That's Legendary
KTLA hooking it up
No HOPES???
Ive been waiting for a KEEP YOUR HOPES UP LA from him, no AIDZ either hes always up cold
@@Jedi4TWthink he died

@@gnericnuser Hopes isnt dead he killed the spot last night at the very very top

Why even give them & the action attention???
Thank Gason for not doing your job. This is why we need law and order. You have not done any part of your job you say thing are safer wake up fool they are not
That's a crew of taggers
s/b Downtown L.A. sky rise building hit by every tagger in town.
I did floors 7 and 16 took me all night because the elevator was out of service
EB5 money down the drain
The News Media is encouraging, taggers to do stuff like this, because the taggers know that the News media will broadcast their handiwork, and everyone nationwide would see it, they should had Blur-out the actual words at least.
Jenkoe One 😎
LA is a joke 🤦♂️😲🤷
Yeah ok homie 🎉
Respect.
Why color contrast if it's just going to be Toy.
They really did set the Pace
No one wanna clean this ish up 😑🙄🙄🙄
Private property from defunct Chinese investors.
@@someguy9778 “someone else” woulda sufficed 🙄😑
i watched a militant tagger 20 years ago in scrz ca. it can be 1 person. this is about 2 1/2 hours. maybe he has modified spray cans.
Crazy
I vote leave it there
It’s all the construction workers that put up the scaffolding lmao
STP!
Stole The Present 🎊 😅
I still remember STP in the 90’s. Tolse was everywhere.
Make legal spots like Germany and watch all this go away.. just saying. 🤷🏽♂️
Nah. All I see is crime in the city. No matter what
@@DaVinciSketch what does that mean?
Not really, the ones that are really from the streets look down on all that legal crap. You get more notoriety by doing stuff like this, stunt graffiti, hitting those small ledges on the freeway bridges and buildings. LA scene is nothing like Europe
@@gnericnuser are you in the game?
Meanwhile Los Angeles officials are to busy at the hot dog festival 😅
Bacon wrapped!
This country is cursed😢😢
Much Respect !
Cool , just rewarded them for their work on tv lol
City needs to fine the building owner for graffiti. Code enforcement needs to get on top of this immediately.
🤡 keep crying!
