From what I understand, "spot-jocking" is when an artist comes across another artist's artwork which is faded out or destroyed and basically adds their own design to it.
This can be very controversial because it can be seen as a sign of disrespect. Besides the feelings of disrespect, there is also the chance of someone unfamiliar with the original artist's work seeing the "makeover" and not knowing it was a makeover therefore, no longer being that original artist's work.
Read the story about Speckter and the artists he spot-jocks at brooklyn street art.
