Throw Ups The history of the "throw-up" started with writers in the 70's doing quick "bubble-letter" pieces to "get-up" fast. The first writer and crew to take this form of "bombing" to a new level was, IN-1 & THE TOP CREW. Their goal was to take over the whole subway system. They accomplished this by inventing the two-letter throw-up which helped them become "All-city" kings in the mid 1970's. Many writers used this concept and took it to a new level. Originality is also very important and writers could be criticized for having a "whack" "throwie"

SUBWAY ASSASSINS.
LIL SOUL. 159 In late 74 - 75 I would take king of the E's and F's but started noticing the these quick TEE pieces coming out of nowhere just wiping me off the line. I started to ask around at the Person writers bench in Queens who this person was but no one had any idea just that it could be some Brooklyn writer. ODD1 would tell me that TEE could be this writer from the A-line who wrote SLICE1, but I would learn later that it was SUNOCO1 who TEE was originally. I would learn from others that TEE wanted to meet me, once we did he would take me the " Big Time, hitting IRT's in Brooklyn which after that first experience I would leave the IND's behind me. Thanks to TEE I would start meeting deferent writers thru out the city as well as later on in my career connecting with SO-FIVE and hitting the 1's, 3' and 4's. TEE and his brother STIM would kill almost every train in the city. They speak of IN being the greatest throw up king,, I feel TEE should have that title.
