INTERVIEW BY HECKSTAR

HECK: WHAT DO YOU WRITE AND HOW DID YOU GET YOUR NAME/TAG?

FEC: AS EVERYBODY KNOWS BY NOW, I'M FEC TFV, AND THE FULL NAME IS REALLY INEFFECT. FOR SHORT ITS FEC BECAUSE ITS EASY FOR ME TO BUST OUT THE TAG, AND WALK BUSTING OUT THE SCRIPT STYLE.

HECK: WHAT CREWS DO YOU PUSH?

FEC: I'M DOWN WITH ALL KINDS OF CREWS THAT I REALLY DIDN'T PUSH OR NEVER COME IN MIND WHEN I GO BOMBIN. THE ONLY CREWS THAT COME TO MY HEAD ARE TFV WHICH STANDS FOR THOSE FUCKING VANDALS AND TNR WHICH STANDS FOR THE NASTY REBELS.

HECK: WHEN DID YOU START WRITING?

FEC: I STARTED WRITING AROUND 84 AND DAMM I MISS THOSE DAYS...BUSTING OUT THE GEAR AND DRESSING UP FLY. NOW YOU GOT OLD NAVY..LOL..

HECK: WHAT NEIGHBORHOOD DID YOU START WRITING IN?

FEC: I GREW UP IN KROOKLYN BETTER KNOW AS BROOKLYN.

HECK: WHAT DO YOU MISS MOST ABOUT THE HOOD?

FEC: PARK SLOPE...I MISS THE FUN HOMIE..NIGGAS CHILLIN WITH LOUD BOOM BOXES, BLOCK PARTIES WITH LIVE DJ'S AND ALL THE FMD RUNNING AROUND WITH MC BOOTS, LEATHER JACKETS SHOWING THEIR COLORS AND BREAK DANCING AROUND WHEN THE REAL HIP HOP MUSIC WAS OUT. HELL YEAH I MISS THOSE DAYS.

HECK: WHAT DO YOU REMEMBER ABOUT THE FIRST TIME YOU DID YOUR FIRST FILLIN, BURNER, OR PEICE?

FEC: I WASN'T INTO DOING BURNERS AND PIECING. I REALLY DID ALL THAT SHIT IN BLACK BOOKS. I WAS MORE INTO STREET BOMBIN AND HITTIN THOSE LAY UPS..I WAS JUST GETTING UP AS MUCH AS I COULD UNTILL MY INK WAS FINISHED.

HECK: WHAT WOULD BE CONSIDERED A LEGEND IN YOUR EYES?

FEC: A LEGEND IN MY EYES TO BE HONEST, IS ONE WHO WAS GETTING UP A LOT. I HATE WHEN JUST BECAUSE SOMEONE DID 1 OR 2 PIECES, THEY CALL THEMSELF A LEGEND. NIGGA, I GREW UP IN THE 80'S AND IF I DIDN'T SEE YOU UP, THEN YOU NOT A LEGEND. IT WAS IN MY TIME AND I KNOW WHO GOT UP AND WHO DIDN'T...NIGGAS BE GOING TO SHOWS AND SIGNING BLACK BOOKS THINKING THAT THEY PAID THEIR DUES...THE REALL GRAFF HEADS KNOW WHO THE REAL LEGENDS ARE.

HECK: WHO WOULD YOU SAY THAT YOU MET, AND WERE MOST IMPRESSED WITH THEIR WORK?

FEC: I MET MY BOY TRACK2 AKA TEKAY TNR AND KIES IN FLATBUSH ROCKIN PIECES ALL OVER THE LAYUPS. THESE GUYS WERE REALLY WITH THEIR STYLES.

HECK: WHO WOULD YOU SAY INFLUENCED YOU TO START WRITING?

FEC: WELL I GREW UP IN PARK SLOPE AND GUYS LIKE LOGO, PRASE, KRANE, BASE GOD, BUF NSA. MORE CATS THAT WERE CATCHING THE LAY UPS FROM PARK SLOPE TO SUNSET IN THE TUNNELS LIKE ROACH TFV, BET, MESK, DEVEN, GD, CEP, MAG, KEP AND THE MOD CREW. A WHOLE LOT HOMIE.

HECK: WOULD YOU SAY YOU GOT INTO GRAFF FOR THE FAME, RESPECT OR SENSE OF SELF-ACHIEVEMENT?

FEC: I GOT INTO GRAFF FOR RESPECTING THE OLD SCHOOL AND SHOWING THEM SOME LOVE. THEY PASSED THE TORCH TO ME AND I TOOK IT FROM THEIR. 20 YEARS GOES BY AND EVERYBODY'S STILL TALKING ABOUT YOU...THAT'S FAME.

HECK: WHAT WOULD YOU SAY TO MAKE PEOPLE RESPECT GRAFF AND WHAT IT MEANS TO YOU?

FEC: I SAY TO RESPECT GRAFF. IT'S SIMPLE, WHEN YOU SEE OTHER GRAFF HEAD'S TAGS OUT THEIR AND YOU KNOW IT'S OLDSCHOOL, LEAVE THAT SHIT ALONE. SHOW SOME LOVE AND OTHER PEOPLE WILL RESPECT YOU...IF HIS PAINT IS FADED, PUT HIM UP, FUCK...YOU HAVE TO EARN YOUR RESPECT BY GETTING UP AND LOOKING OUT FOR YOUR BOYS.

HECK: HOW DID YOU LEARN TO WRITE?

FEC: I LEARN HOW TO WRITE IN BED!!! SLAPPIN THE SHIT OUT OF MY GIRL...SPANKING THAT ASS..LOL

HECK: HOW DO YOU GET YOUR PAINT? ANY FUNNY RACKING MISSIONS?

FEC: BACK IN THE DAYS WE USED TO GO TO PATHMARK TO RACK. I'D PUT A CAN ON 1 SLEEVE AND 1 IN THE OTHER SLEEVE, 2 CANS ON MY BACK AND 1 MORE ON MORE ON MY BALLS...THATS A TOTAL 5 CANS IN 5 MINUTES...BUT STAY AWAY FROM THE CAMERAS AND TAKE A SHOPPING CAR. NOW IF YOU GET SPOTTED, RUN LIKE HELL. MY BOY GOT SPOTTED AND HE SECURITY GUARD CHASED HIM. I RAN BACK WHERE THEY LOAD THE GOODS, AND I PUT THEIR PATHMARK ROBE ON...SECURITY RAN IN AND I TOLD HIM THAT HE WENT THAT WAY..MY BOY RAN OFF TO THE OTHER SIDE AND HIS SNEAKERS CAME OFF...WE HAD TO GIVE HIM A PASTIC BAG TO PUT ON HIS FEET...HE HAD A HOLE IN HIS SOCKS...LOL

HECK: BEEF: HOW DO YOU FEEL ABOUT IT? ANYTHING YOU WANT TO GET OFF YOUR CHEST?

FEC: I HATE WHEN NIGGAS GO OVER YOU AND DON'T STEP UP TO YOU LIKE A MAN. NIGGAS ALWAYS HAVE TO BRING THEIR PEOPLES. NIGGA COPE2 TRIED TO HIT ME WITH A BASEBALL BAT AND TRIED HAVING HIS BOYS RUN UP ON ME..I WAS ALONE WITH THIS GIRL. THAT WAS A PUSSY MOVE HOMIE. IF YOU GOT BEEF WITH SOMEONE, FIND OUT WHERE THEY LIVE AND BOMB HIS WHOLE NEIGHBORHOOD...SHOW THEM A STATEMENT!!! KILL HIS BLOCK!!! JUST GET READY TO PUT YOUR HANDS UP TO FIGHT AND YOU CAN'T SLEEP ON THEM..ALWAYS WATCH YOUR BACK!!!

HECK: WHAT ADVISE WOULD YOU GIVE TO WRITERS OUT THERE?

FEC: IT'S BEST TO GO BOMBIN ON A WEEKDAY OR LIKE SUNDAY NIGHT FROM 2AM TILL 5AM MONDAY AND TUESDAY...LEAVE THE WEEKENDS FOR FUN AND PARTIES. DON'T BE STUPID AND GO BOMBIN ON WEEKENDS...TOO MANY PO'PO'S OUT AT NIGHT. TOO MANY GRAFF HEADS THAT YOU CAN'T TRUST NOW..THEY BE COPPIN OUT TO CATCH THE BIG FISH!! TRUST ONLY A FEW OF YOUR BOYS..DON'T MEET PEOPLE THAT YOU DON'T KNOW...

HECK: HOW DO YOU WANT PEOPLE TO REMEMBER YOU BY?

FEC: FEC TFV..A REAL TRUE STREET BOMBER...

HECK: SHOUT OUTS?

FEC: SHOUT OUT TO ALL THE PEOPLES I GREW UP WITH, AND TO THE LOST ONES!!! FOR THE ONES THAT ARE STILL DOING IT, KEEP IT REAL HOMIE...THANKS TO HECK FOR THIS INTERVIEW AND TO GRAFFSTARS.COM.
