Have you been watching movies from the 80's? It's more like Disneyworld now.

Just take the train through the Bronx you will still see hit ups on roof tops. Besides if your a true hip hop fan, Just taking the train through the Bronx in itself is an experience. As a kid growing up i saw beat street in the Movie theatres when it came out and i always had a copy of wildstyle on VHS waaaay before it was rereleased in 90s. Obvioulsy you wont see graf like there used to be, but the feeling of taking the train up there is a must do for any hip hop fan. I always have the subway theme music from wildstyle when i take the train up there, those elevated trains feel like a time machine. I Love the Bronx, theres no other place like it!!!!!!!!!!!


check out the trains in this scene!!

West Farms Road in East Morrisania (or Crotona Park East as Colin Powell calls it.) Take the 6 train to Whitlock Ave and walk north, lots of graffiti.

Yo mean the Bronx. Harlem, Bed-Stuy, Washington Heights, Brownsville, Far Roc, South Jamaica and mabe cambria heights have song good ol graff. Harlem and the Bronx stick out the most for me, but if your not from here i wouldn't want you wondering into those areas.

Don't listen to some of the ppl on this forum this city has cleaned up a lot but theres still graffiti it's not all Disney ppl love to overreact but the places BKvillian718 listed should be good enough. Try finding abandoned subway stations as well.

I would suggest taking the 7 line in queens and the B/N/D lines in Brooklyn. Actually most elevated train lines have lots of graffiti you can look at. As for neighborhoods, my neighborhood of Sunset Park has a lot. Williamsburg, Bushwick and Ridgewood have areas that have a lot of graffiti.

Here's a secret... neighborhoods with a large hispanic population will usually have the most graffiti.
