This NSFW episode was recorded Jan. 30, 2015: featuring DJ Mixtermike (host), Royce & Nickels.
We go into discussion covering art, entertainment, comedy, pop culture, news, tech, movies and television.
We begin the episode by introducing Royce and Nickels, two local graffiti artists. We discuss the culture surrounding graffiti, along with the parallels to Hip-Hop and how it's evolved into a global art form. We explore the thoughts of being original, focusing on being humble, and the importance of putting in work. The topic of creative blocks is brought up, and seeking inspiration from other sources but also just letting life happen. Royce brings up how Graffiti was started by kids, and Nickel discusses how the younger generation revolutionized the art. We talk about how Banksy is a marker showing that now everybody knows about graffiti/street art, an idea that seems impossible when looking at the early stages of graffiti. We discuss the prosecution of writers, and how sometimes documentation can be incriminating. Nickel shares his opinion about how others in coastal states recognize Salt Lake artists, and how it's still waiting to be discovered but so much progression has occurred. We discuss the idea of regional styles, and how being you is more important than trying to fit in. The evolution of tools is great but Royce suggests that it's kinda taking away from the culture, Nickels then brings up text generators and how that's a new cheat being used.
After the break we begin the discussion a Rhythm Roulette video on Youtube, Spotify playlists, the lack of buying music, and the inspiration that comes skate/bmx/graffiti footage. Royce briefly describes the graffiti movie Limitless and War 1. We talk about how english letters are still common worldwide, typography is the mastery of letters, sellout vibes, street, legal commissions, the importance of contributing to the art culture to continue progression, passion and mystery spots. Royce gives a brief idea of the rules behind graffiti, how it helps you progress faster, but to show respect for the Hip-Hop culture is to give to the community. The final thoughts consist of Royce providing a creative tip, and Nickels discusses layering to shape his art but admits it's difficult to describe the creative process.
