R.I.P Kase 2 - You know who I am though anyway yknow the king of what?The king of style.
For all those not really acquainted with old school hip hop , the multitude of memorials remembering Case2 might seem curious. The only way to fully grasp this legend would be to in fact watch the movie Style Wars whenever Case2 is on-screen. Kase 2 created the coolest sayings, produced an incredible graffiti art, and influenced thousands if not millions of people to become a ?king of style?.
When I was 14 years of age, I actually discovered the movie Style Wars the very first time. I saw it on Public Broadcasting System, & I recorded the show with a cassette recorder. Not a video cassette -- a sound cassette recorder! Me & my graffiti pals would then listen to the movie repeatedly while practicing our own graffiti tags, styles & characters. All of us dreamed of being ?The Style King?.
How come? Primarily because we believed Kase2 was so cool. Kase 2 invented the Computer Rock wildstyle. Plus he just said numerous darn cool quotes so we dreamed of being just like him! So we would try to do bubble letters, block letters, mechanical letters & computer rocks whilst repeating just about all Case's cool sayings such as ?super-duty tuff work?. What was possibly even wilder was Kase 2 only had a single arm! And And in fact just one foot too. It was akin to even if this fellow was given a raw deal (coming from a childhood incident) Case was just giving it at one hundred percent. It was simply, yep this guy is def.?
One of the things few realize is that CASE2 s initial claim to fame was his block letters. Curiously, we seldom see photographs of these subway pieces, mostly his computer rock style have been pictured, possibly since by the end of the Nyc subway graffiti period more and more people were snapping pictures of trains. Another intriguing tidbit regarding CASE2 is that one of his most famous graffiti masterworks, that Kase Elkay piece, rode several years! At the time, Nyc was intensely trying to eliminate graffiti on the MTA trains, however, the key Kase Elkay car for reasons unknown avoided the buff for years, or merely passed through it a couple of times. Hence, the piece actually rode on the rails for years well after the release of STyle Wars.
