AND LOOK OUT FOR YOU.
BANE:i drove up to st. louis with some kids in my crew, that shit is far as
fuck, and none of these niggas drove, so i basically drove the whole way
(INTERVIEW CONTINUES BELOW...)
kEaMs:What crews/writers do you see promise for in the upcoming
months/years?

NICE, OTHER THAN THAT I THINK EVERYONE THAT WANTS TO CAN COME UP ON SOME GOOD

Beyond Extreme owns all fliks from THE VIEW FROM BELOW
(INTERVIEW CONTINUES BELOW...)
kEaMs:Has this whole CROOK and CROME shit changed the way you look at graff
today? How?
FUZE:YEAH DEFINITY. IT MADE ME SEE HOW QUICK YOU CAN HAVE
EVERYTHING TAKEN AWAY FROM YOU. EVERYONE TENDS TO THINK THAT THEY JUST GOT
ROPED AND THAT WAS THE END OF IT, BUT WHAT ALOT OF PEOPLE DONT UNDERSTAND IS
THAT THOSE KIDS HAD TO START THERE WHOLE LIVES OVER AGAIN, THEY LOST THERE
CRIB, THERE JOBS, AND ALOT OF PERSONAL POSESSIONS, IN A WAY IF YOU ASK ME I
DONT THINK IT WAS WORTH IT, BUT AT THE SAME TIME I DO, CAUSE THEY DID EXACTLY
WHAT THE COPS DIDN'T WANT THEM TO, THEY BOUNCED BACK!
BANE:no comment
kEaMs:What did u think of the entire incident?
FUZE:I THINK IT WOULD HAVE BEEN
REAL HARD TO BE IN THERE SHOES, AND DEAL WITH ALL THE AFTERMATH.
BANE:no comment
kEaMs:Do you feel that the media's feeding frenzy was overated? What would
you like to say to them?
FUZE:I THINK IT WAS WAY OVERRATED, THE COPS HAVE ALOT OF
BETTER THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT THAN TWO GRAFFITI WRITERS, BUT THAY HAD TO PROVE
A POINT AND MAKE AN EXAMPLE.
BANE:well, for those of you who followed the incident, this was the reason i
did an interview with The New Times. i didnt appreciate how the news
portrayed all of us. i didnt like how the cops just came and assumed all this
shit, then the news says its true. i didnt like how the cops hung that MSG
banner over the side of these kids crib then called the news like they were
raiding Waco texas or something......
kEaMs:Have you spoken to CROOK and CROME after the incident...what did they
have to say?
FUZE:YEAH,THEY FUCKIN HATE THAT THAT SHIT HAPPENED TO THEM, BUT I
DEFINITLY THINK IT CHANGED THEM FOREVER.
BANE:no comment
kEaMS:What do you think about the incident?
FUZE:IT SUCKS!
BANE:i think that if city officials believe they are improving the quality of
life here in miami by going after some kids who write their names everywhere,
instead of dealing with violaters of more felonious crimes.but they're too
worried about stealing money from tax paying residents.
kEaMs:What would you like to say/do to the person(s) that ratted them out? Expand on
this...
FUZE:I'D LIKE TO SEND OUT A BIG FUCK YOU! NO EXPANDING IS NEEDED.
kEaMs:What big plans does the MSG Crew have in store for the future? How about each one of you?
FUZE:PAINTING, AND MORE PAINTING, AND LOTS OF
CHILLIN, I THINK THE WHOLE THING BROUGHT US CLOSER AS FRIENDS AND AS A CREW,
I MEAN WE WERE ALL TIGHT, BUT WITH OUT OR MAIN MAN AROUND WE HAD NONE TO
RELIE ON BUT EACH OTHER.
kEaMs:What do you think graff will be like in the years to come? New
tecknology? etc....
FUZE:MAYBE, I THINK IT WILL BE THE SAME, I JUST THINK
STYLES AND TECHNIQUES WILL CHANGE.
kEaMs: Who would you like to paint with if you had the chance?
FUZE:SHIT I DONT
KNOW MAN THATS A HARD DECISION, I'D HAVE TO SAY THAT ID LIKE TO PAINT WITH
"IZ THE WIZ", JUST TO SEE HOW SHIT WAS BACK IN THE DAY AND ALSO TO KNOW WHAT
IT WOULD BE LIKE TO BE A FOUNDING MEMBER IN THE WHOLE START UP OF GRAFFITI.
(INTERVIEW CONTINUES BELOW...)
kEaMs:R.I.P. BENO .... Its been 2 years ago yesterday since his death..

MISSED BY EVERYONE AND THAT HE WAS AN EXCELLENT WRITER.
