BLADE ; There has been allot of
people still speaking about a run in I had with IZ THE WIZ and CAZ 2.
There has been allot written about this confrontation COMET and I had with
both of these writers that have been totally distorted. I would like to
set the record straight and tell what really happen. Comet and I just
finished a whole car in Esplanade lay-up in the Bronx around the fall of
1978. I had this system which I would look out on top of the train while
my partner Comet would finish his painting below. Iz and Caz were there
that same night but they were on the top of the train outside of
Esplanade. Comet discovered that one of his top to bottom double whole car
was crossed out but my whole car on the next car was untouched. We had
been in the lay-up all night and Comet know that it had to be Iz or Caz
who crossed him out. Just then Iz and Caz walked right towards Comet but
they were on top of the train. Comet told them both to climb down off the
train and told them that he was going to kick both of their asses. I was
still on top of the train and instead of Caz climbing down to fight Comet
he hit me cross the |
|
back side of my head when I was not
looking. I fell off the top of the train. The next thing I seen in a daze
was Comet chasing both Caz and Iz out of the lay-up yelling and threading
to kill them both! Caz knew he had no beef with me but hit me from behind
because he knew I wouldn't expect it then ran away. He was brave enough to
cross out Comet's piece but once confronted by Comet ran away. This was
the only confrontation in which I saw two writers chased away by one
person.5 years later I was driving through the Bronx with Comet and he saw
Iz the wiz at Bronx park east train station. Comet leaped out the car and
chased Iz down a few block. Iz was standing there along with Sach and Min
but once he seen Comet he dropped all his paint and ran beside the two.
Once Comet ran back we grabbed all his paint and went off to Esplanade to
lay up and did a two man whole car with Iz's paint. A few years later I
became friends with Quik and was invited to stop by his home to hang out a
while. When I walked though the door I saw Iz there and at this point I
was 35 years old and in a home with Quik's mother present. I decided to
talk it out with Iz that day with him telling me that it was CAZ who hit
me from behind and that he had no beef with me, Which I was pretty certain
about. We settle it and became very good friends afterwards. |

BOM 5 ; Colt and Slip were
referred to as the little BLADE and COMET of the late 70's and early 80's.
For a short time they were king of the 2 and 5 lines, which belong to
BLADE and COMET for so many years. But Colt and Slip could not keep up
with the pace of the two Crazy 5 members, which Comet would some time
blast ( cover ) most of their work. CAP ; I never
understand why Comet would go over Colt and Slip. They would all go
bombing together the same night. Comet would return the next day and go
over all of Colt and Slip work and the two would not say a word about it,
just to avoid a fist fight with him. Colt and Slip were down with
M.P.C which was why I started crossing out Comet stuff to protect my crew
members. |
