Rd you may find this funny. When I was a kid in the 1980s I went with my father to a book shop to buy Getting Up book, as the shop worker placed the book in a blank brown paper bag and I handed over the cash my dad turned to me and says son are you buying a book about PENILE ERECTION DISORDER. then I said, no way dad getting up means something completely different to graffiti writers...
I have a great memory of my older cousin stopping the car in the middle of the street to run out and beat up espo and some guy that was taking pictures that were later published in his book.
@@RD-gu3qp That's crazy Rob Never knew that cover art used your shit. We had a poster of that up in the studio across the street from you in 120 Stuyvesant. Another historical gem RIP Prodigy The label definitely owes you a check, it wasnt just In the background it was the focus the bullet hole on theCD is the emphasis Check That out
This was really funny. I really gotta say though that reading about RD in The Art Of Getting Over really imprinted the legend of RD on my young impressionable mind. The streets did as well but the book did in a different way. So he really did you a favor IMO.
Wow. I lived in Ravenswood right next to the Sanitation lot back around 1999. Yo RD what’s your thoughts on the current MTA clean train movement? Have to noticed to it. I’m loving it, especially all the RIP tributes to passed legends
Espo is a freak. He’s a narcissist and a try hard. Lot of mutual friends, his own friends don’t care for him much. Sorry you had to deal with that weirdo
I agree. I'd watch every chance I got. I've been following him on ig for years now and just discovered his RUclips channel. Can't wait to watch these videos
Wadup big bro. The garbage trucks were huge in Staten Island early 80s paint and ink Buses as well but that was ink and stickers. I got my start on them sanitation trucks with Aim ONT and Bobby Boast TFC(RIP). Shout out to TIN And JO WACK, they was on it hard.
@@RD-gu3qp No shit bro, I didn't even think u knew about these guys. That's dope, you shock my brain repeatedly on this fly ass channel. And you even knew the bro, the wild child Bobby Boast. Wow. 😱 RIP
Good shit RD that would bug me out too but 1 thing I learned personal experience cocaina & paranoia does not mix bro Im from BK & I remember in the back of redhook on top of an old sanitation plant or something like that & you had a huge RD stretched tag that could see from bqe which was pretty far away & always thought that shit was Dope those two letters are perfect for stretching 👌BTW you shoulda dropped an RD on that fire hydrant On the Harlem block letter
Graff charges, you want to avoid, for sure, but also probably want to avoid any ass stabbing charges. You could even get four charges for that incident, if you were charged for each ass stab. I'm not a lawyer though, I'm not sure how these things work.
oh shit u know ESPO lol im from south philly i use to write ,, he use to write with kenny Meez,, (MEEZ) Espo had a rep he even had a pair of nikies made for him like a see threw clear nike #phillly in the building
@@bigdaddy2343 oh shit i wrote with clue , i know lil lou rock to lived up my block im from 7st small world i wrote Nas-t back then and tweety after that i wrote with Oops, Date, SF , China, i remember Kenny meez was big back that him and espo and Kadism
I think all of the telephone conversations Cost had with Espo were hostile. They might've only had one conversation. I can't imagine Cost stopping for a moment to do Espo a solid during it. I could be remembering wrong, but I think part of the conversation(s) could've had to do with them fighting and it being Espo's idea.
COST had no idea where I was living or what my phone number was at that time so yes ESPO was a liar I honestly never even told COST about that I knew it was bullshit
@@RD-gu3qp I feel like he abandoned any tie to Philly. He was doing dope shit in the late 80s til about 92 with Law1 & Icy. Lunatics At Writing and Inner City Youth.. Credit Sat Praez (rip) Razz (rip) SuRoc, Meez, Nope & Meak. Philly dudes.. I remember when Credit Sat & Praez made all the papers and news bc they were already lacing up the highways, the train line roofs and now street level straight letters and Credit was a Stock broker lol doing routes in his BMW. Talking 1996. Espo ran with all them dudes

Maybe the fight stat's should go from 25 to 26.
Great video , much respects
That room needs a paint job.

Espo is super cap in graff
I prefer your stuff to ESPO's, but espo might watch this video and also think "well any publicity is good publicity" cycle of life lol
I'm just telling my story .
Finally someone talking about espo being a corny fraud. Never understood how dude got so much respect and a fuckin Nike shoe.
