wait so if he is 56 years old now, that means he started writing stay high when he was 11 years old? Thats not TOO unlikely but how many kids did you know in 1966 that were smoking weed so much that they called themselves StayHigh? Also why does he write the tag like pure shit? Watching him draw that original tag lowered his credibility
its like to see them both square off and settle the graff history forever. This needs to happen because if not graffiti history can be literally rewritten by any old guy claiming bronx
No controversy. Writing in the context of Hip Hop culture explains it all. Stay High 149, whom you call "Wayne" was in that context. Luis was not. Just as there were DJs before Kool Herc. The difference is that Kool Herc & Stay High 149 (not Luis) did the work and made the accomplishments to help make Hip Hop Culture. Luis even admitted that Writing is recognized from '72 on, after he went to PR. This is because of Hip Hop Culture. You are not the original in Hip Hop. Peace.
I'v looked up to writers like Stay High 149 ever sense I was 10 years old. I'v watched videos, viewed pictures and read documentary about the man.
THIS IS NOT HIM, HIS HAND STYLE IS NOTHING CLOSE TO THE ORIGINAL SO EAT A FUCKING DICK TO THE OWNER OF THIS VIDEO AND TO THE FAGGOT CLAIMING TO ME SH-149.
At the end of the day it's what you do with the name, actions speak louder than just words. Wayne Roberts aka Stay high 149 from Harlem is the only legend. end of story.
@micklarock Who cares who originated the name? Anyone who cares about the real history of graffiti. Yes, Wayne is a King of graffiti, Yes, he is the greatest tagmaster of all time. Yes, he had several tags, including Stay High 149. But did he originate that name? I don't think so. Why all the antagonism? I believe Luis and see no reason for him to lie about this. He just wants credit for something he created, which is the same thing anyone would want. This takes nothing away from Wayne.
whatever, Wayne is responsible for some of the first spray on the trains... he was among the first to paint t2b e2e's and had more passion for the name. Ideas get lifted, it's about where you take the ideas.
c'mon......REALLY?!????????? you should've been said something if you want the truth to be told (so you say).so now your coming back into the game as, lemme guess, "the original stay high 149", right??!? GET THEE FUDGE OUTTA HERE!! .
like templedragon420 said in the description... even if hes the original Stay High 149 you still cant knock on Wayne for puttin in the work that he did and you cant knock Luis for puttin out the vid now... hes just lettin the game know that he was the original Stay High 149 hes not tryin to claim Waynes fame

This is Mickey TFP, sitting next to me is Blade TC5 and he would like to comment the following:
"This guy is totally lying and I find this video appauling. It's an insult to all writers.
I know the REAL Stay High for over 35 years.
Who cares now about who originated the name? The black Stay High DID IT ALL."
