The game done changed. I look at the new generation of kids coming up and it’s just not the same anymore. Graffiti has gone from aggressive vandalism and street survival to becoming legal walls, internet-forum thugging and mommy’s credit card buying European spray paint. The heart ain’t there no more. That’s why the first time I met Horne, I could tell something was still right in this world. I could sense the hunger pumping through his veins and a passion so strong that I’d knew this man would go through trials and tribulations to live life the real way. As I got to know him, my first instinct was proven true and I immediately knew he was cut from a different cloth by the way he vandalized the fuck out of my city and racked everything he could get his hands on. More importantly, the kid had heart… not the type of heart that makes you go on a mission then call it a day, but the type of heart that would make you risk your life and freedom for your peoples. Real recognize real and Horne is as familiar as you can get.
With multiple warrants and half the police forces looking for him, it’s not the easiest thing to get a hold of this man. We tracked down one of our favorite graffiti outlaws and had him drop the science on the shit he lives everyday. Mook-Life shows love to the underdogs, the real people out there putting work in those streets and not giving a fuck about what mainstream graffiti has to think. Fuck your magazines and DVD’s, we’re the streets.
Mook Life: Whats good playa, let us know what you write, where you’re from and what crews you rep.
Horne: First and foremost, I want to give a shout out to my boy Daeo who is currently doing a bid in Boston’s finest.
I write Horne…when I changed scenery and moved to Montreal, I thought it would be a good time to also change my name. Where I’m from–Boston–it’s normal to have multiple aliases and it’s normal to change your name when the heat’s on. We have the most notorious vandal squad in the country. They hold seminars in multiple cities teaching the police how to identify writers based on location, style, and the magnitude of their damages. The crews I represent are DFM, YKW, and OFA. I’ve been put down in multiple crews throughout the years but the crews I rep are family, the people who always have my back.
Mook Life: Give us a brief 411 and history on the crews you roll with.
Horne: DFM (death for many) is the American underdog crew. It started in Portland then Tonek brought it to the east coast while fleeing from the police out west. In doing so, he started the first rising of a west coast crew in NY. He was there before the MSKs, the TKOs, and the BTMs. After realizing that multiple arrests didn’t lead to jail time, more of the west coast crew relocated. They then set up shop in NY. It became an elitist crew putting down writers who were down to ride, instilling the mentality of your crew as your family and that when you rep it you’re repping every member.
YKW (young kelts wrath) is somewhat of a newer crew; it is only a few years old. I am co-president of the crew and you need to get the vote from both me and Ceos and if you don’t make the cut you get the cut. In Boston the crew is pretty tight and holds it down in multiple aspects of the graffiti game. We have some thorough people who are enforcers, some clean machines, some bombers who wild out, some tag bangers, some of the veteran bombers, the new guy with something to prove, and we have the guy on the couch who is down to roll without caring about graffiti. It’s the homies crew of all shapes and sizes with links in Montreal, Miami, New Orleans, New Jersey, Boston and San Fran.
OFA (one for all) is one of the oldest graffiti crews in america, if not the oldest. It was started by the Mexican gang tagbanger scene but to date its members include some true gems in the american graffiti scene past and present.
Three Time’s a Charm. Iphone changes to Ipad, the name stays the same. Canal Street.
The view of the city is always nicer when you’re living on the edge.
Mook Life: Who are your influences when it comes to graff? Who are your influences when it comes to crime?
Horne: I look up to true style masters in the graff game, the people who schooled me in graffiti and life. The people that I look up to are Caype, Resk, Tonek, Alone, Alert, Perl, Prank, Secret, Lost, and Hint. Lost is gangster as fuck. As for crime, Dragan Mikić is a personal criminal hero of mine and is the mastermind behind the international jewel thief network, Pink Panthers–named by Interpol after The Pink Panther series of crime comedy films. They are responsible for some of the most audacious thefts in history. Even criminologists consider them to have an ‘artistry’ to their crimes after, for example, applying fresh paint to a bench across from a jewelry store they intended to rob to deter potential witnesses from sitting on it. They have targeted several countries and continents, and can include Japan’s most successful robbery in history on their resume. I wouldn’t have known about the panthers if it wasn’t for another criminal I look up to, my favorite Napolitano, Cazzo.
Mook Life: Word on the street is that you’ve got craftsmanship when it comes to shoplifting. Talk to us about some of your biggest scores and your motivation behind this hustle.
Horne: A note to you readers out there before reading this… always remember the only free cheese is in a mousetrap! With that said, my motivations: money, money, and money. That’s enough motivation for a man to rob a bank, kidnap a child, and for me kidnap goods for people who can’t afford them and make them affordable. I am a wolf in sheep’s clothing. I blend in and have hustles for everything. Shit, I get food payed for by the state that hunts me down! If you saw me now you’d think I was Dapper Don. If you look like a thief, you won’t be good at it; if you look like a writer you won’t get far. It’s a lot of smoke and mirrors. To fellow thieves out there, don’t blow up your spots; do them in moderation. Don’t make a route! Never bring your car into the lot. Always carry identification. Wear 2 pairs of boxers and 2 white tees and a hoodless sweat shirt. In case you get caught, these are all things you can keep in county jails. Get strike anywhere matches, papers, and tobacco or weed, and hide that shit in secret compartments so you can chill while you’re in the cell. If you cut shit to make holes in your clothing to make pockets, that makes it burglary. But if you hem that hole and put a button on it, it’s simple shoplifting, because you do not have a burglary tool. But I like to think I’m a magician, so I wont be revealing how to do my tricks.
All in a days work.
Mook Life: Give us some crazy-ass, mooked out stories you’ve lived out.
Horne: Well, after the police raided my place and a legitimate job that I was working at, things got a little hectic so I went underground and lived in the lion’s den. I wouldn’t go out during the day for anything. I’d stay up all night paranoid of the next raid. I made it 2 years having pictures in the paper of my graffiti and pictures in news segments. It became got a good ol’ witch hunt for me. Stupidly, I stayed put and painted spots, trains, went all out. Well, I went to this party with a fellow crew member and we are chilling by the door when a rock went through the window and cut my hand with glass. We went onto the porch where we started getting pelted with rocks. I picked up these metal dining room chairs on the porch and started throwing them down at the people. After I ran out of chairs I pulled a lead pipe from my bag and started chasing these fools. One fool was on the phone with the police probably scared for his life. When I caught up to him with the phone to his ear I cracked him with the pipe getting a 3 in 1 (breaking his hand, phone, and face) while shouting “stop snitching!” In the paper it confirmed that I had broken his hand, and cheek bone. He was laid the fuck out so I went back to the party. Later the police came to break up the party, which isn’t unusual for where I was, so I walked out and see the chumps that had been throwing rocks pointing me out. I walked right by the police but then I felt someone grab my new Arceteryx jacket and ask me where I thought I was going. Well, I jumped out of that shit and started running. There were cops in paddy wagons, on foot, and in a squad car chasing me. I didn’t think I was going to skate on these fools. At one point I was running and realized the cruiser was right along side of me. But ahead of me I saw a ton of people in front of a house. I ran past them around the house, jumped the fence, and walked into a house next door where there was a family eating. I told them people where chasing after me trying to kill me. I asked them to hide me and told them I didn’t want to call the police because my parents would never let me go out and party again. They hid me, changed my clothes, and let me go. My boys who were with me had never seen anything like that happen before. I’m just glad I can tell this story now from home, not from a cell.
Mook Life: The media have been blowing your spot up lately and it seems that you’re always on the run. Talk to us about the outlaw life and give us the time behind what you’re living right now.
Horne: Yeah, they put the picture of a crew member in the paper and claim he’s allegedly me. He doesn’t live in town anymore so I doubt he knows or cares. But, like I said, it’s a giant witch hunt and they want to make an example out of me like they’ve done to others in the past. One of the reasons I moved out of Boston is because the police make mistakes all day and get paid but if I made one mistake that’s all they need to set me on fire in the center of town. Instead of selling out and having art shows, I started tattooing. Getting up on people’s skin forever is pretty gangster. I apprenticed under my crew member and mentor and he taught me a lot. Now I have a skill, I can travel and be my own boss legitimately, unlike with shoplifting.
Mook-Life: Talk to me about your hometown Boston. What was it like growing up out there and let us know a bit about its graff scene.
Horne: Ed OG said it best, Boston’s a great place to meet bad people. Some of the graffiti in Boston is on another level. The no-neg graffiti style originated there. The highways get it the worst, excluding the trains. And, depending on where you are in the city, you can find some true gems. Bostonians know to do real cutty tags. They last longer, don’t get buffed or sun struck, and don’t pop up on the VS radar. Boston, like any other city, has different parts; it has its yuppy parts, its hood parts, and its towny parts. Usually, the vandal squad likes to put the people against each other to get someone to rat. In Boston, there are a whole lot of rats and dry snitches. If you go there, be careful who has paperwork. It’s best to paint with your family and crew. In Boston, there is also some racial tension that’s rooted in a racially motivated crew from the late 80s to early 90s who call themselves the African American Latino Alliance. In my opinion, that shit is just mad weak. I don’t have any respect for that. I respect the original kingpins. Shit, Lost and Alone had already sat in cells by the time I was born. That shit is G as fuck. The crews I respect who helped spearhead Boston graffiti, in my opinion, were AMPM, OD, 5AV, KBN, and DCK. Back then, people from all demographics and pedigrees painted. Shit, Joey Mcintyre wrote Popeye in the 80s. Now, in Boston, there are a lot of toys dissing anyone old or new just to try to get a name for themselves. There’s a total lack of respect. They diss spots that have been running almost 20 years but they write ‘No Diss’ next to it. There’s a new movement for people to do graffiti just to be a part of some trend. Some people out in Boston will rag you and not sign it, then make up fake internet personas and talk shit on you, telling people you met and you were scared. Until you find out it’s some no-rep-having toy that has beef with you. Then, you catch him at one of his tight-pants art shows and you give him a nice hello followed by a beatdown that leaves him an inch from his life. Boston is a great place to get into fights, especially if you’re looking, then it’s a guarantee you’ll find one. But you probably wont find one with another writer in Boston. Most of them are either junkies or art school flunkies. (With some exclusion of some gangster’s) Take, the case of Back vs. all of AEA. It was one guy against an entire crew and he’s the one looking for them. He’s dissing them everywhere but they paint under bridges and don’t look for him. They hide from him. It is truly pathetic.
Mook-Life: How do you see the new generation of kids coming up, those who have it easy and roll up to buy hundred dollars worth of fancy paint to go do a legal. Howbout graffiti in mainstream media and product placement?
Horne: Well, it makes my trip to the hardware store in my hood that much easier knowing that toys are working there in order to buy paint. It’s pathetic. I have bought one can of paint only because I thought after all this time of racking cans, I should buy one just to buy one. I still have it. It’s funny these toys blow all their money on fancy spray paint just to line real writers. Especially with what I said about Boston writers being cutty, the most you’ll see out of one of these bookworms is a shitty throw. Like I said before, I think in some ways graffiti is romanticized in the media like it’s urban and hip with this associated notoriety. That’s what’s making so many little toys try to come out and make names for themselves. But if you read police reports, they give up easily because graffiti isn’t at their core. As far as my shit is concerned, I do think it’s cool to see my tags and fills in movies or on TV. That’s respectable. But making an ad out of it and putting a price-tag on it makes it street art bullshit. I think most of the writers who go down the street art path probably started as losers anyway.
Mook Life: I’ve seen you came through Montreal and wrecked shit pretty bad, let us know your thoughts on this city and your experiences here.
Horne: I racked my way through 6 months of living in Montreal. When I first moved there I had a girlfriend who wrote graffiti and she turned me on to the city as a whole. I’m grateful for some connections I made through her. I left briefly, did some more damage on the east coast, then returned to Montreal single and ready to go a little crazy. It was intimidating as an out of towner moving to a new city already completely smashed. On the other hand, without roots, I felt I had the freedom to go crazy without much concern for repercussions. After I went wild I moved on and because the ties I made were crime related, my homies understood. I met a friend from Canada when I was living in Boston but he actually got deported. During my time in Montreal, his mom hooked it up. She held me down, made my mops, made me dinner, bought me cigarettes. She was my best roommate to date. The people, the city, the cost of living… shit I love Montreal (even though residents might not think so after my non-stop painting every night). And not knowing French, got me off the hook with Montreal cops numerous times. I had a lot of great experiences there.
Mook Life: Any last words, shout outs, death threats or good porn site suggestions?
Horne: Shout outs to all the killers and hundred dollar billers out there, to my family and my friends, to my girl Rosey, Daeo, Alone, Caype, Okto, Tonek, Resk, Zyre, Darks, Marty, Cazzo, Black Adam, HT, Ruger, Gyer, Elbo, Tilly, Nepal, Soln, Dez, Snor. Shit, lets see? To all the homies in YKW, DFM, OFA, OD, KBN, DCK, EMS, GSM, TFO, TFB, OUT, RAD, DBS, YSB, 24k, Smart, SDF, LPV. As for threats, I will say that revenge is definitely best served cold. I won’t be saying names because, that gives them too much of a rep, and makes getting revenge too pre-meditated. But just know, I will get who I’m looking for and they’ll get what they have coming. As for porn, for all you lonely jerkers on the web: you will lose a lot of money chasing pussy but never lose pussy chasing money! Also, cleans are not worth the trouble, but they are fun to do, use an alias, and don’t get caught slippin!

Once while painting with Horne on one of Boston’s highway side’s we hopped a fence cut down the hill stopping quickly behind a little electrical shed to make sure all was clear. Right as were about to walk out and paint this spot homie says hes gotta take a shit.. I kinda laughed then realized he was dead serious and then I was speechless with no suggestions for him. I asked “Here? Now?” hes like “Yup go ahead ill be out there.” One thing you need to know about Horne is, sometimes, just do what he says without question. Everything will go smoother.. ANYWAYS, long story short, dude shits behind the shed then comes out and blast 2 fillins while me and HT finished our 1.. Thats what you need to succeed. hmmm i have countless tales of illegal charades with this cat maybe ill put up another one later
February 23rd, 2011 at 1:38 pm
Damn homie you really don’t know us, but you are entitled to your opinion, stay gully.
February 23rd, 2011 at 1:52 pm
My bad it was in reference to this,(It’s best to paint with your family and crew. In Boston, there is also some racial tension that’s rooted in a racially motivated crew from the late 80s to early 90s who call themselves the African American Latino Alliance. In my opinion, that shit is just mad weak. I don’t have any respect for that.)
Did you ever meet any of us, this was a good read just interesting to see how Horne’s view went right along with a lot of the crews misconception(s). Get at me if you want so you can proceed on the rest of your life with the truth.
Stay Strong
February 23rd, 2011 at 2:10 pm
Yo Quaker,
First time I met Horne we went to do a track side spot. On the way there we had to jump this small highway barrier. As soon as we crossed over, he was like ohhh fuck… i need to take a bad shit. I was like, NOW??? He was not kidding.. We kept walking and he just squatted and plopped right by the wall. It was a few feet away from a truck depo and one of the workers came out thinking he was trying to rob or vandalize. He spotted Horne taking a shit and hooked him up with some TP. Tue story. HT, Ceos and Gyer are a witness.
Fucking mook!
February 23rd, 2011 at 2:18 pm
i think i got busted with this guy once…
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:22 pm
straight gangsta. still see some of his shit in ndg
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:23 pm
I guess I answered one question without the whole truth. It was Jordan Knight who was Popeye. Im sorry but saying the only writers who started Bostons scene where Latino and Black… Then stating WE need to stay in the suburbs and not to venture to Area B. Why is that? Od YSB where from roslindale, roxbury dorchester quincy. Was there not beef between ala and od. Was this not over the racially motivated agenda of a certain crew? Did m27 kick it with cayper when he first moved to boston but wouldnt go meet his people, but yet stayed alongside the ala?
i dont know lets see if you would think I was racially motivated by startinbg a crew naming it WHITE ALLIANCE with only white people.
once again im misinformed. alots changed over the years maybe you should read your own mission statement at alacollective. things have changed since the 80s but that was a well known fact about boston along with the od. bsb. rivalry where the better went to the od.
whats it matter im just a mook.
February 23rd, 2011 at 3:48 pm
YO horne just a fellow Boston bomber, Good to see your doing good. your always being mentioned in boson and Quincy. you need to get back here homie 24k is resting hard and its too bad. Keep it real.

February 23rd, 2011 at 8:54 pm
Yo Horne, I have to agree with pbk about the whole ALA thing. I’ve met a few members at spots and they were cool as fuk, and i’m irish, white as a mo-fo. Also, when you were talking about old school writers who were hard, how could you forget Relm. Dude battled many of Boston’s best including almost the entire OD crew, beatdown kids in there own homes, kicked in Perl’s car window and went to his house but Perl wouldnt fight, spent a yr in jail with his story front pg of the Globe, etc, now thats Mook. But other than that you were def on point about Boston’s scene. I got nothin but respect for ya….Peace and stay up

OK.. my stance on this is a little offset cause i personally dont like Horne… as a person… but i will respect that he has put in alot of work… i cant argue with that.. about the whole ALA thing.. i dont know what to say.. i wasnt writing back then.. and i know their standpoint has changed if that was its original standpoint, personally i like the style of older OD work, but thats a personal preferance, i like ALA stuff as well.. but i prefer that of Kurse bfs, Alone od, Alert, Mes, Kurse is a good friend of mine as well.. anyway without tryna sound like more of an asshole, much respect to Horne for the interview and being up… but much disrespect for the shitty attitude, anyway.. Problak… when you coming down to paint with me and Vicer. ? haha

Yes I hung out with Cayper, Tease R.I.P, Wombat, and many other good peeps. Im sure in the 80′s there was racial tension through out Boston in general. Graffiti fell victim to racial ignorance on both sides of the spectrum. I can speak for my Fam ALA and say truthfully there is no racial
motivation with ALA, for us it’s a cultural foundation that we like to uplift among blacks and latinos. The proof is on the walls. There has been countless number of walls we rocked with peeps from all walks of life. Like you said Horne it’s all about family. Holler at any of us anytime. one

As a person, psssh shitty attitude you’re the one crying on the internet. in this interview i talk about me doing me. fuck your little bitch attitude. come at me in person! i talk about boston and the mooks here. shit i should have just said heroin consumption, snitches, fixed gear bikes and 12 oz destroyed our scene with people who dont have any lead in there pencil to go out and paint trains, highways, tunnels. that mostly all of is tracksides and legal bullshit where the people who talk the most shit dont even live in the city. that they hide behind vs. shit if im still here painting and hustling whats it say about you? you know what if you where up id rag you. as for my shitty attitude, someday when you get an interview i will cry like a lil bitch on a forum over it. one love. crime.

March 4th, 2011 at 5:39 pm
Going against my own judgement, I feel the need to clarify a few things. I said I am an irish guy who happened to meet a few ALA writers about ten yrs ago at a wall and they showed nothin but respect. I didn’t say that I was a member, painted with em, or even knew any of them, so whitecon you should read a reply a few times before gettin all sensitive. But mainly I wanted to make sure Horne knew that I was not trying to put him or his interview down. I was only throwing in my 2 cents, which is what these replies are for. Like I stated before, I have nothing but respect for Horne. Keep doing you and fuq everything else……..
March 5th, 2011 at 3:21 pm

Okay, one question… in the whole goddamn interview, not a single word about style and style development etc, only about HC lifstyle and g shit. what is that all about? graff is about letters and style not about gangbanging, fighting and stealing shit. yeah, there are situations that involve those type of shit, but that’s not what graff really is. and yeah, i know what i’m sayin cos i do this shit for quite a while now. sorry for possible language mistakes, english is not my birth language.

@ styleiswhatitsallabout
maybe your luckier then some , the rest of us gots too get paid what ever it takes. and not all of us want a paint sponsorship and an art show there skippy… some of us just like being degenerates!!

okay revrt, i can appreciate your answer on a certain level, but when you come from country that is so corrupted and economically fucked as mine is, you don’t call yourself lucky.
and paint sponsorship? come on man, what is that?
im just saying, in graff, letters and style always come first, everything else is how you make it for yourself. more or less.
March 22nd, 2011 at 11:55 am
Agreed, it’s all about style. I must say that interviews where writers talk about their styles are fucking boring tho..

i was there for the snitch getting hit thing. everyone thought he was done for he had every cop on the block chasing him. hes got some running shoes alright.
April 16th, 2011 at 3:14 am
more interviews! this is easily your best article yet.
April 16th, 2011 at 3:30 pm
interesting read, with that Boston knowledge. big props to horne. keeping doing you.
April 28th, 2011 at 5:02 pm
dope. only thing i have to say is he shouldnt be talkin bout aea vs. back beef considering he dosent kno shit about it
April 28th, 2011 at 5:05 pm
First would just like to say, awesome interview mook-life.com. Shit was a good read, was kind of hoping it would just keep going. Would like to see some more of these in the future.
I respect HORNE, because he did him. He went out and smashed Boston, tags everywhere and you could always count on seeing him in any spot that had a tag on it, if it wasn’t only him. I noticed the dude before I even started writing graff, and I don’t think its fair to say the new generation are all toys who have their rents buy them paint and diss on people before their time. Me and my homies rack all our shit and respect our history. Just know some of us new cats still know whats good. I think its pretty true though, Bostons graff is so insane these days. Kids going over people like TRUE D30 with some high quality paint his mom bought him with her credit card for a ‘art project’ just makes me cringe. Out of towners coming in not knowing history and going over SEX and TEAZE tags with crap hands. I guess thats graff for you though. Horne held them steet spots were it counted, brushed off the haters via flickr bitching about how hes a bitter of horfe, etc, etc. but no one would do anything about it off of flickr. “your a bitch horne.” would just be the end of it. Horne also hit some trains, which wasn’t a thing in Boston really..anyone from the bean knows no one really hits any MBTA trains, that was kind of a few years ago ‘ya know? So it was pretty cool to see a HORNE on the side of a green line. I’d like to see more of that, but VS and Nancy just seem to dream for these chases and thats a slap in the face for them.
Just a question for whoever can answer: The horne daeo htea, who dropped that daeo?
Stay up. Know your history.
April 29th, 2011 at 1:23 am
i did.

May 30th, 2011 at 5:01 am

July 27th, 2011 at 1:20 am
grumpy, the fuck you talkin bout? who says these niggas are buying paint with credit cards? mad niggas crushing trains too… sounds like you need to “stay up” and learn your “history” as well.

July 31st, 2011 at 8:09 pm

horne came to the bay recently and all i can say is his shit is garbage
August 26th, 2011 at 8:05 pm
and pretty soon graffiti will be just as ‘gay’ as skateboarding was.
September 7th, 2011 at 1:04 am
right right… spin sucks balls
September 7th, 2011 at 1:27 am
one quick story.
i was heading to a little know spot in late spring with the floeman. we both had pretty much the same colors as usual. he had his rusto and i had a mix of rusto/beltons. they use to rag on me about the euro paints all the time because i never bought anything but paint and smokes (no food and shit) and he was that day too. we both payed for our cans (its silly to be almost 30yrs old and standing tall before the man for racking cans) we got to the spot and it was great like a history hall of fame i felt like i walked into a time warp. it haddent rained in about a week but the walls where soaked.
after all the teasing and taunting may piece came out and his didnt because belton is the only paint that works for outlines in the rain. its the only thing i could ever give back to him for all he taught me.
so its good to have some laying around for wet reefers especially.
peace to joke still living foul and vault famous like oe od
September 8th, 2011 at 5:23 am
horns a nice guy, nice graffiti, and did a lot of both. wish there was more of that in the bay. hes dedicated to his crew and graffiti. with a hunger like that he will go far.
September 8th, 2011 at 8:26 pm
horne this horne that, to say the least, fuck horne
September 8th, 2011 at 10:41 pm
go far..? into where? when you write you don’t get in nothing but trouble. and yeah spin and his faggot crew are a bunch of chumps who dont get any respect
September 15th, 2011 at 11:15 am
Spins been crushing shit since the late 90′s, most of you dont even have the resume. most of you here havge backed down from the beef, or had your chance to do something and blew it like pussies. the streets talk fam. the stories spread far n wide about niggas raggin on that dudes crew but no ones done shit, even when presented face to face. put in some work then maybe you wont look so foolish when talkin bout people you dont know. ….
September 15th, 2011 at 3:53 pm
To the guy above me first of all i cant tell what the fuck your trying to say you sound like an uneducated moron who acts like this shit is a game. my cousin went to AEA face to face and fucking hung around there area for a grip and not once have those clowns done JACK SHIT. Its a big difference when your getting ragged on then as to when your the one ragging. For example so your moronic logic can be foiled, i can go over every single head in a crews pieces, if i was in the same vicinity as these dweebs and decided not to even say a word but instead just to laugh at how foolish these idiots are just taking it up the ass and letting it happen while i ignore them then i win a very pointless battle. spins crew has gotten burnt by even the toyest of the toys and its pathetic seeing how the crew consists of a bunch of fucking like 30 year old losers who think they can prove something
September 18th, 2011 at 6:59 pm
i just wanna write my name places guys im an artist
October 6th, 2011 at 5:29 pm
sorry horne but your a horrible writer…and after meeting your “boys” i’ve found out that the majority of what you say (especially your stories of being such a hardcore fighter) are all lies…the whole breaking that kids jaw thing…never happened
October 8th, 2011 at 1:35 pm
it’s just regoddamdiculous how misconstrued horne in particulars views are. I don’t even have to break it down.
October 8th, 2011 at 4:54 pm
Boston’s graffiti scene as of now is so whack. All EVERYONE ever does is beef with each other. Like what the hell? Can’t we all be cool with each other? And this guy set a really bad example of our scene. It sucks out here you know?
October 10th, 2011 at 8:32 pm
“30 year old losers who think they can prove something.” and what are you a 20 year loser with something to prove?mind your business and stop talking shit on the internet. there is really no need to get so worked up over someone else’s art.
December 25th, 2011 at 3:52 am
horns is a beast.
i like how he did this interview knowing hed get under the skins of people. shit if bostons writers are not like him thats pathetic. hes a solid writer. i know hes a fighter. look at him now. hes shining out in the streets and youre on this ish complaining.
horns 30
boston 0
December 25th, 2011 at 4:17 am
out of his generaqtion i think horne is the only guy who has spread the hatred of the asshole ridden drunken irish boston everywhere he has gone. this interview is raw and the fact it has this many comments hating means hes right and your wrong. come to the bahr its whickehd pissah kehds fackin whensdee and thirsdee maybe even frydee the broads on tha prawl kehd. come on quit being belly hurt because dude beat you up and made out with your highschool sweetheart.
December 29th, 2011 at 4:54 am
I suck. It’s sad you’re tied up on this website talking about me instead of doing something with your life
March 1st, 2012 at 3:04 pm
