Whilst the likes of Big Daddy Kane and Masta Ace remain prophets without honor in their own land, due to a combination of imploding labels or bad judgment calls (is there anyone who thought “Veterans Day” didn’t suck?), we now hear that, of all people, Gerardo “Gerardo” Mejia has taken to carrying his paper in a U-Haul.
