Secret Spot - End To End (music: Necro - Our Life)

I came across this video through Sean Nelson's Back To The Grill and I thought it raised some interesting questions on the subject of graffiti. The piece they throw up is quite good, but part of me feels like this is a violation of something sacrosanct. I wouldn't think twice if I saw this on a wall in the city - in most parts of NY it would actually serve as an improvement on the scenery - but seeing it out in the middle of the Amazon just seems out of place. It is interesting, though, to see aspects of hip hop culture pop up in even the most remote places of the world.

Review of Mally's The Passion will hopefully be up tomorrow. In the meantime, head on over to Passion of the Weiss and read my defense of The Streets' Original Pirate Material as one of the Top 50 Hip Hop albums of the decade.
