In a wrathful blog post entitled “Yo’ Fab 5 Freddie, You’re a Corny Wannabe, Where’s SEVER’s Check?” graffiti writer REVOK mercilessly calls out Fab 5 Freddy for biting his friend SEVER’s work by flipping it upside-down and shamelessly copying it. Left: Fab 5 Freddy. Right: SEVER. See comparison close-ups of the stolen “S” and “V” and read the rant below.
REVOK thinks Fab 5 Freddy is “a lame,” “a poser,” “a thief,” “a fraud,” a wanna-be” and “a perpetrator.” Anything else? Yes:
Now I bet your wondering why I am going so hard at poor Fab-5 and knocking the guy’s hustle… Under any other circumstances I’d have a chuckle and go about my business… But I absolutely can not leave this one alone because that shit Fab-5 tried to present in a gallery as “original art” isn’t original. Fab’s “art” is composed entirely of stolen bits and pieces from my friend SEVER’s art… And its reproduced tragically might i add. Here is a guy who was NEVER a graffiti writer… Posing as a “king of graffiti” -All the while stealing from a REAL graffiti writer. SEVER is a world renown & globally recognized & respected graffiti artist… I bet “King FAB 5″ doesn’t even know who SEVER is and stumbled across SEVER’s work doing a google search… FUCKING PATHETIC.
REVOK takes offense with Fab 5 Freddy showing in the “3 Kings” exhibit at Subliminal Projects in Los Angeles with FUTURA 2000 and LEE QUINONES — “undeniably kings in every respect, and I have the highest respect for both artists and in no way aim to disrespect them” — but, that “Freddie character is a lame and NEVER WAS A GRAFFITI WRITER/ARTIST… He painted some really shitty piece on a movie set, a music video, started a piece once on one train and didn’t finish…” Don’t forget the bedazzled pictures of strippers.
Fab 5 Freddy Vs. SEVER:
Fab 5 Freddy Vs. SEVER:
i always thought the same shit…………………………..right on the money revok….
Isn't this what is supposed to happen in this arena?
aside from the fact he is stealing severs, and others letters- the other damning fact is his collages are simply horrible.
the first person to point out fabs rapeing of styles was OH.He actually sold an EXACT copy of his letters for thousands…cmon fab,you were cool,work with these artists if you cant write,they dont mind shareing the money my dude
The battle has been taken to Twitter with the Fake Fab 5 Freddy twitter account – http://twitter.com/FAKEFABNEWYORK. All of Fab 5 Freddy’s tweets are flipped upsidedown and reused.
sever shit is better fuken up a fuken jok like fab 5 shouldnt be starting shit by jocking
An interesting discussion is worth comment. I believe which you need to have to write a lot more on this matter, it may not be a taboo topic but typically individuals are not enough to speak on such topics. To the next. Cheers
Only wanna remark on few general things, The website style is perfect, the subject matter is really wonderful : D.
Stackable boxes really are a must when moving house, irrespective of self-drive van hire or removal company lorry. Sturdy green, recyclable boxes that may be reused repeatedly are the most useful option for frequent house moves as well as for long term storage – regardless of where the home move happens. There is nothing more frustrating than having to reload many times, since the awkward manner in which situations are packed prevent a completely loaded van making one tour and something tour only.
