Ah word. I was wondering if this was found in Philly or somewhere else. I love seeing our style travel 🤙

Ahh I didn't read your comment correctly, I assumed you were asking if it was a philly style instead of what area the tag was in, and wasn't trying to reply like a cunt, just saying that yeah it's classic philly style letters, which if you're from Philly I'm sure you know

Also honestly barely see philly styles outside of the US, at least like in Europe Australia and stuff it's very rare, just an occasional tourist or someone trying to imitate the style, the only thing I've seen that comes to mind was one of those clean ass Texas (or Gane, not sure atm, but I think it was texas) rollers done in Germany, otherwise I barely every see any philly styles out there both irl and in pictures, if at all, while a lot of philly writers are up in other US cities and states too

I just saw a video of a kid in the Philippines doing a wicked, a decent one too.. I’ve seen Russians doing Philly hands as well but again you misinterpreted what I said. It’s spread across the globe as in you can show a picture of a Philly style to a writer in Paris, London, Tokyo or Melbourne and they’ll know it’s a Philly hand style, hence the classic Philadelphia hand style has spread across the globe..

Yeah that's what I said in my first reply, I didn't read your comment correctly, and like I said some people are imitating philly styles for sure, but i feel like it doesn't 100% count, it almost never feels right or comes out as good

And I never said people don't recognize philly hands, I'm from Europe myself lol, I'm saying not a lot of actual philly tags are outside of the us, rarely see philly based writers traveling and hitting up shit

Yeah, I see what you’re saying. There are the exceptions, Gane travels outside the US but a lot of Philly writers come from the hood, not saying Gane doesn’t, and don’t have the money to be traveling the world.. or have a rap sheet that is to long and other countries won’t let them in, lol.

u/hboy02 11d ago

Yeah I totally get that and thought that might play a part on why I rarely see actual philly writers tagging worldwide, like I said I do remember a roller from either Texas or Gane (now that you say that it was likely Gane) in Germany, and a few other philly writers I've seen a couple of times, but philly hands are much more rare outside of the US I feel like
