Graffiti

Graffiti can be judged as many things, like art, hobbie, vandalism and such. But, some people make graffiti as a tribute to someone they look up for. Like, in this video clip by Jay Z featuring his wife Beyonce, we can see a tribute for Tupac Shakur, the best rapper that ever lived, in graffiti.

Considering that Jay Z is using Tupac's chorus (from the song Me and My Girlfriend), isn't that impressive that Jay Z showed the graffiti.

Tupac was killed in 1996, at the age of 25 years old. He was an american rapper and released 10 albums, being 5 of them after his death.



Back to the subject - Graffiti. Tupac isn't the only rapper that has tributes on walls, his opponent Notorius B.I.G. (a.k.a. Biggie) has got some too.


I don't really like Biggie though, nor his music. Biggie also died at the age of 25, and he was murdered too, in 1997, one year after Tupac's death.

Anyway, you don't have to be a rapper to have a tribute on a wall. Example, John Lennon, ex beatle.

John Lennon died at the age of 40, murdered by shots (december, 1980), like Biggie and Tupac. Also in New York, but when he died Biggie and Tupac were still kids.


Enough about musicians and their death. Back at graffiti...

Nowadays, graffiti is getting a lot more serious and isn't just something to kill time or express yourself. You can get money from it, there are classes to learn how to do it and all. There is even a website where you can draw things while people from all over the world is doing it too.

The website is separeted in two "draw balls". The draw ball one is VIP use only. The draw ball two (http://two.drawball.com/) is for everybody's use. You have to be careful though, the ink isn't infinite.

I think I already typed too much and i want to go watch Vampire Diaries, so... That's it, see you next week.
