I just found the Wild Style Original Soundtrack at eMusic. It was, not surprisingly, an instant download for me. Listening to it brings me way, way back.
I love this quote:
“Being a graffiti writer is taking the chances and shit. Taking the risks.
Taking like all the arguments, from the transit, from the police, from your own moms.
You know, from your friends and shit. You know- you gotta take all that bullshit…
[…]
How can you call people that hang out [of] train windows and watch trains writers?
You gotta write! You gotta do the action. You gotta go out there- rack up.
You gotta go out and paint and be called an outlaw at the same time.”
Replace “hang out [of] train windows and watch trains” with “hang out on the 12oz forum and paint throw ups in the woods” and that’s still gospel.
