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."

The Mass Appeal extended family included underground rapper R.A. the Rugged Man, famed hip-hop A&R and producer Dante Ross, ego trip co-founder Sacha Jenkins and hip-hop photographer Ricky Powell, among others

As SOHH previously reported, in 2005 Mass Appeal co-founder and co-owner Patrick Elasik died after walking across the New York's G Train subway tracks.

Elasik, 26, of Far Rockaway, Queens was found lying across the third rail at the Nassau Ave. station in Greenpoint, Brooklyn. According to Moeller, Elasik was heading home after a friend's birthday party when he entered the station from the wrong side. Instead of exiting and reentering the station to change platforms, Elasik opted to cross to the other side then touched the high voltage third rail and died.
