He's not a real legend, it's a piss take on the seriousness of some graf artists. His crew is even called the 'hot boys' which kinda gives a hint. There's a few of the videos they made about the rivalry between the supposed 'legends' Sebener and Streetlaw. On the old Youtube comments section they got nothing but raging abuse and shouts of 'Toys'. It was grade A trolling.
The funny thing is, the guy that made them is a fantastic grafitti writer. Think he just got a bit bored with the seriousness of the scene.

I'm not so clued up on my German graffiti history but I fail to see how that guy could possibly be a legend. The letter structures just remind me of how I perceived graffiti as a kid, and he hasn't got a handstyle.
Is it a similar situation to Fuzi and "ignorant style" where it became more about breaking away from the norms of graffiti?

Whilst we're on a German train of thought here are two amazing videos from Berlin. Damagers is all about the trains, whilst Berlin Kidz has quite a unique approach involving scaling buildings and then abseiling down whilst leaving their mark (it reminds me a little of Pixação but has a totally unique style).
I'm just going to put the trailers here but both are online in their full glory if they interest you.
