The intro to the video, calling Shepard Fairey the godfather of american street art is probably the most absurd thing I've ever heard! He's a nice guy and I like what he's done, but he's as much the godfather of american street art as ashlee simpson is the godmother of american pop music. Also, I get that it doesn't have to be completely about him but it's weird how 50% of the video is the xgames/after effects intro and then the minute and a half (give or take) of dialogue is talking about banksy. For more talk of street art / skate art / graf art, you should check out the Adidas Adicolor videos - they're beautifully shot vignettes with some of the most remarkable street artists out there right now (the Fafi and the Jeremy Scott / Haring are my favorites). --> http://www.adidas.com/adicolor (in downloads)
