Os Gemeos

 
Os Gemeos
Downtown
G St between 2nd and
3rd Aves, south wall of
Horton Plaza parking structure
Taggers go through lengths to get their work up. Don’t believe the hype is a title of a song by public enemy. The song talks about the close relationship of graffiti and hip hop and shared attitude calling for social justice.The yellow figures and bright clothes are based on the characteristics of graffiti. In the town where name lived the graffiti was hardly ever cleaned and the city outlawed billboards making it heaven for graffiti writer. In San Diego, we clean the graffiti making a new surface to tag on. There’s a place called Writer’s Block, where taggers can pay to tag a wall there for a certain period of time.
