BUTCHER AAA (Part 20): Painting For a Curtis Blow Rap Show and Suing "The Wiskey" On Sunset Blvd

from GRAFFTV · host Richard Castro

In todays clip of our exclusive interview with Los Angeles graffiti legend BUTCHER AAA (Triple A), he recounts his serendipitous encounter with rap pioneer Kurtis Blow. Their chance meeting led to an agreement to perform together at a hip-hop show, promising an electrifying fusion of music and live art. However, the night took an unexpected turn when the concert promoter refused to allow Butcher to paint on stage. In a bold move of solidarity, Kurtis Blow decided not to perform, leaving the packed venue in shock. The fallout from this decision reverberated far beyond the club's walls. Kurtis Blow took legal action against the Whisky a Go Go, ultimately suing the venue. In a surprising act of camaraderie and justice, Blow shared the profits of the settlement with Butcher, turning a moment of conflict into one of unexpected triumph and unity.
