You don't understand what a GOD Ichabod is If you've never hopped freight trains or spent time in freight yards. Ich full cars are a thing of legend. No one paints full cars like Ich period. Period. Dude is the literal goat of the rail road.

Doing graffiti interviews lends No Jumper so much credibility... This is such a critical subculture and a central component of hip-hop culture... And, sadly, very few KZread channels give the graffiti subculture any coverage whatsoever. Please keep doing these!

I never thought that I’d hear Adam talking about posting on the 12oz forums. And just the fact that Ich and Spek are featured on this podcast absolutely blows my mind. I used to design and publish a graff mag and definitely had Ich in every issue. When Tower Records closed I bought the majority of their stock of graffiti mags from their headquarters.

The best No Jumper ever. I can drive by any lay up on 95 from Philly to Del Co and see a ICHABOD
We need a real JA interview now! No one knows the nyc tunnels like he does would love to hear his stories
Came back to this interview for a 3rd time.. ive never watched a No Jumper podcast before, but this is a real treat to listen to, especially since Ichabod interviews are very rare, and I believe This is the only Spek interview out there.. I hope Angel and Z uploads their Ichabod interview to youtube. Gotta have these guys back on again soon and ask more graff questions
Spek did a ton of bombing in Boston. Street side throw-ups and tags. Rooftops, trucks etc. He was the king of bombing. Also one of the very best on the art side of things. Ich is a machine. Major props to both these guys
Ich and spek talking bout doin freight cars and walls in the city brings back good memories for me riding the subway in Boston and keeping my eyes peeled out the windows looking for graff

Graff and hip did not birth eachother or even have to be directly related. that’s a misconception. all the first dopest graff writers were Italian dudes in ny who looked like greasers and listened to rock and punk music and skateboarded. Much of the dopest writers were born at skate spots. Do these guys look like b boy hip hoppers he’s talking about hardcore shows.that wild style b boy stuff is one small subset of graff from a specific area and doesn’t really encompass graff in any way.

@@deepblueseeds5563 It’s obvious you think you know what you’re talking about when you really don’t have clue. Or you just didn’t understand my post. Do yourself a favor and go read the Gospel of hip-hop by KRS one. No one said hip-hop or graph birthed each other. First off graffiti is an element of hip-hop. There are four elements to hip-hop: Emceeing, DJing/producing, graffiti, and break dancing. Hip hop is a culture and a form of religion at this point. I don’t care if one of those elements existed before hip-hop was created. Hip hop brought it to light, polished and elevated it. Do you research next time before you stick your foot in your mouth bud.

Glad you got these dudes on. I’ve been into their stuff for the longest. I probably have over 200 flicks of different ICH💀 freights over the decades

These two are legends. Ich's been a hero of mine since childhood and im from northern ontario... Massive freight hub for inco but still.... So refreshing to listen to this podcast. Mad respect.
Also weirdos on ig will be like “if you don’t steal your paint it doesn’t count” but in reality, if you can buy your paint and paint as much as ichabod that’s a flex. People that have to steal to do anything will not last as graff writers they gonna get caught over and over till they’re in court forever.

I’ve always liked this podcast mostly because Adam is just so chill. I never knew he was into graffiti though. Definitely going to look for more of these graff interviews.
I think this is a great lane of interviews in the media for culture for Adam. Graffiti artists talking history and lore. More of this is needed
