Last weekend, Chicago's Underground Exposed (CUE) had a fundraiser at Colibri in Pilsen. They had a slide show of Graff writers doin' their thing on the trains of the early morning rush hour and then there were the murals that a group of kids on the South side had created with the help of some youth organizers in the community. It was all love until someone got the idea that it was ok to go bombing across the street and on the outside of the venue. The cops came and shut it down early (as is usually the case with Hip Hop events). The question is, how should Graff be portrayed to the youth? What is the Hip Hop community communicating with its Graffiti? If we want Hip Hop to be recognized as a movement, we should give Graff a purpose besides gettin' up on walls and vandalizing property. It makes Graff writers seem self-centered. I am not a Graff writer so those of you who are could tell me to shut up. 
;D What do you think?
