One of hip-hop's finest publications, Mass Appeal, is ending a 12 year run of putting out a high quality, print magazine that traced the arc of the culture's evolution and many permutations. It will be missed. 

After 12 years and 50 issues Brooklyn based hip-hop and graffiti lifestyle magazine Mass Appeal has called it quits.

According to Gawker.com the print magazine - which recently celebrated its 50th issue, with a mohawked Game on the cover - will no longer be putting out any more issues but will continue running the website and special event productions.

"After 12 years of publishing Mass Appeal magazine we've decided to call it quits on the print edition," publisher Adrian Moeller told Gawker. "We're putting our resources into our faster growing properties, Missbehave Magazine and Colossal Media. We're in talks to sell Mass Appeal, and it may resume publishing in the future. We'll continue the website and special event productions."

Sigh. Print is so rewarding, but such a GRIND. Another sad day in the world of so-called traditional media. Mass Appeal is dead. Long live Mass Appeal!
