As far as most janitors are concerned, specialized graf mops are the work of the devil. The ink is thick, long lasting, and drips just right (Ayo!). One of the finest (or worst if your a custodian) would be Harlem’s own Do Em Dirty. Mass Appeal TV sat down with the mind behind Do Em Dirty, Shaun RFC, and got the scoop on his inkin’ empire. Check it out in the Mass Appeal TV player to the right.

It’s been far too long since we last heard from the King Of Da Burbz, but in a reintroduction of sorts, John Brown welcomes us back into his kingdom with a staple of rural life, a keg party. The Ghetto Revival continues.

The LA Times’ Chuck Phillips is reporting that Diddy, along with Jimmy Henchman (current manager to Game, Shyne and Gucci Mane) were fully aware of the impending incident at Quad Studios back in ‘94.

Since the days of Napster (the original free one) aspiring producers have manufactured and promoted fantasy collaborations for their favorite artists as if they were actual tracks. Taking it one step further, or back considering this is an entire mixtape-full of wasted time, Dj’s Haze and Capcom have tapped the spirit of Paul and Stevie for Ebony And Ivory: Eminem vs Lil Wayne.
