In Style Wars, the 1983 landmark graffiti documentary (2:15 mark), CAP MPC says, “I’m not a graffiti writer, I’m a graffiti bomber.†In the film and in real life, he positioned himself as a graffiti villain indiscriminately painting over the paintings and pieces of other writers. Now, over twenty years after his name became synonymous with crossing out and starting graffiti beef, CAP is being disowned by the Bronx-based crew he repped all these years. Morris Park Crew dedicates their latest newsletter to denouncing CAP : “We never did and still don’t approve, admire, or respect, but oppose what CAP did and what he stood for.” The 8-page attack on the “jealous toy” continues:
It’s sad that under his assumed direction, MPC became known as nothing but a disrespectful bombing crew intent on destroying other writer’s work to gain fame, because they themselves, like CAP, had no artistic talent.
…In MPC, CAP was considered a talentless writer, though an ambitious one. By evidence of his “art†work in 2009, he hasn’t progressed any in 30 years….This fact implicated him—which many have suspected all along—with the real reason he went over people: he was a toy who wanted fame but couldn’t burn writers like BLADE, COMET, KELL, SKEME, DONDI, MIN and a host of others to achieve it—not because he was taking his boys’ back, as he claimed.
In fact, MPC had no serious beef with any writers or crews before CAP started indiscriminately going over people.
I told Cap to get into the Porn Biz with me a long time ago instead of playing with his Crayolas and writing. Minone still says never forgive action.
You guys were right about those Art & Design writers waaaaaaay to over hyped! Lady Pink is known to have thrown some well known writers under the bus and kept them out of art galleries back in the early 80's. A&D was known for a lot of hype and most of it was from breakdancers who never entered a yard or wrote back then now 30 years later claiming to be writers and writing legends. Stick to dancing ,writing was here waaaaaay before the bullshit Hip Hop scene.
