I wish someone had audio of this:
Peter Vallone. This is Cope2. What is your fucking problem, bro? We are painting subway trains that you are not paying for motherfucker… Just because you have money doesn’t give you the right to do what you think the fuck you want just for elections, just to get elected…This is Cope2 motherfucker… from the Bronx. Bring the cops, I don’t give a fuck… You ain’t no fucking body on this planet Earth…We’re trying to do something honest, and you out to be putting your nose in your fucking ass and shit… We’re graffiti artists, we’re trying to make it in this world… That’s it… You don’t live forever so do what you want motherfucker. All right?
