Luis Blue's video: BENNY THE BUTCHER x NAS TYPE BEAT Luis Blue - The Great White Fleet

Graffiti-scrawled subway cars reached their peak in 1982, a year in which the MTA’s subway operations reached their nadir, with older cars from previous decades broke down regularly and track fires broke out frequently from homeless camps in the tunnels. (Today’s travails pale next to how bad the trains were that year.) Perhaps no line was affected more than the Flushing Line train, whose R-33 and R-36 cars were the flagships of the fleet in 1964 and 1965 when the brand new cars, painted in white and light blue, ferried World’s Fair-goers to and from the Willets point Boulevard station and thence to the Fair. By 1982 the shining paint scheme was long buried beneath graffiti tags and rust. In the early 1980s the MTA hit upon a scheme based on negative reinforcement. The cars would be painted bright white and the thinking was that the graffitists wouldn’t want to deface cars painted such a brilliant white. R-33 and 36 cars where painted with a polyurethane compound that would be resistant to spray paint and markers. The repainted c ars were known as “the Great White Fleet.” (https://forgotten-ny.com/2020/05/white-train-1982/) If you're interested in purchasing this beat contact me on IG @luisbluebeats or luisbluebeats@gmail.com
