MUTO a wall-painted animation by BLU.
Wow this is such a trip! Have you ever seen anything weirder? Does it almost seem unreal?
Do you wonder if other graffiti artist consider this rude and disrespectful because he covers hundreds of other pieces and tags?
Maybe he uses more of a chalk and that will all wash away soon?
What do you guys think??? Leave some comments!

Ok last night I go to this event by the name of Speak The Music. They have this guy IceBox on who is supposedly the 2007 West Coast Champion. Well after seeing him rip shit up it’s very obvious why!

The Genie scratch Guitarist
Friday, July 25th, 2008
So this guy seems to be on a whole nother level! I mean really have you ever seen anything like this? He creates bad ass beats with a laid out guitar as if it were some turntables and he loops, distorts and tweeks with his feet! You HAVEEEE to check his stuff out. I saw him last night at Speak The Music and bought both of his CD’s. I can’t even play the second one because the first one is too bad ass to take out. Here is a video but check his myspace songs out, mind blowing.
Oakland Oscar Grant BART Police Shooting Riots 01/07/09
Friday, January 9th, 2009
First I shall say that this post has nothing to do with the actual crime behind the riots. This is not about Oscar Grant or the BART Police officer who shot and or murdered him. People have reason to be outraged, but we have tons more reasons that effect us directly, have been largely ignored and going on for decades. I’m glad at least this got you guys together to speak up.[ad]
But I do I think last night was completely uncalled for.
Don’t get me wrong. I think we should have the right to assemble. But when people start breaking innocent business owners property, burning cars and hurting others… then you can not assemble.
Last night was like a sideshow without cars. Not a protest.
Most of the true protesters went home before all this started.
The kids or youth, whatever you want to call them started gathering and acting fools.
Seems they had a few ill minded ring leaders wearing mask acting as if they were genuine to the cause. I bet they were Provocateur Agents. White people in mask rioting? LOL Definition Agent Provocateur
Yeah sure, some of them could have been genuine and wanting to hide their identity from work or whatever. But read about these agents. They do exist.
We gotta remember, our very own government puts people into crowds to instigate this sort of situation.
If you have masses of people protesting in a peaceful manor then they really can not do anything. They WANT you to act up, they can’t wait for you to give them the green light so they can go in and break you up and discredit your peaceful intent with acts of violence.
So they throw some of these agents in to start the actions and then all the youngsters follow making YOU the protesters the bad guys.

Also…. FUCK THE POLICE? Yelling that over and over? Really? For one, BART Police was involved in this shooting, not Oakland Police. OPD is out there risking their lives so you can be safe. Because trust me, without them you would all be killing each other at much higher rates. This picture here shows a cop stuck doing something I’m sure he does not want to be part of. Because it is his job. To protect us. And last night we needed to be protected from idiots. Business owners are very thankful that the police were there to stop further damage from the “community”.
See what I’m saying here? Don’t fuck up your city cause a few insiders start it off. Stop them. Remain on a peaceful message. Control those around you, isolate the who-riders and let them know they are alone in committing their crimes. All this bullshit talk about “community” from angry “members” of the “black community” then you go destroy your own community. WTF?
What would Ron Dellums do?
Oakland is Proud. Act like it.
Oakland National Night Out Champion St Block Party
Thursday, August 7th, 2008Well National Night Out was a success. Oakland had over 400 Block Parties organized by local community residents. These people took the courage to go out and do it and make it happen for the rest of their neighborhoods. We thank you all for doing it and showing that we DO have neighbors that care and we CAN be friends and look out for each other. Thank you all! Remember, Oakland is Proud!
Below are photos and video of the Champion Street Block Party Organizer Carolyn Vallerga with the Oakland Police Department and Karis Griffin from the Oakland Parks and Recreations Department.
