As a kid, Darryl McCray started writing "Cornbread loves Cynthia" all over his Philadelphia school to get the attention of a girl he liked. He then expanded all over the city with his tag, simply, "Cornbread," with a crown over the B. He is now acknowledged as the creator of modern graffiti, which served as the backdrop to the rise of Hip Hop.

J Narr Is as much of a legend, cornz a ruffneck, he put street art on the map (but in my opinion it could have been a number of others that could have done the same thing...) but no dis-respect. Kinda feel like he sold out at the end but eh. 'Pain' has a point too, if you look back graf is in everyones blood, from caves to modern man... it's just progressing more & more nowerdays & there's some art out there worthy of takin Rembrant off the map.
i mean like.. i dont know man..graffiti is what ever you want it to be. corn bread,seen and taki 183 where truely the 1st real writers. but it doesnt matter now graffiti is world wide and its not gonna stop. ever since cave men left there legacy on walls its been around and all where doing is leaveing are mark in society, and history were just leaveing a legacy let us express are selfs freely and get up. for all the true writers out there just keep your heads high and stay up man. peace -pain-
