In graffiti world, it’s all about getting that fame by getting your tag known on the streets. Tame One is implying that because he has tagged and threw so much graffiti in the streets, his tags are recognizable and therefore his street credit gets him lots of women.

Ink intended for graffiti smells more pungent than regular ink. It’s because graffiti marker inks require more ingredients for them to be adhesive to any surface material, be waterproof, and hard to erase with just average cleaning products.

Because he uses such strong ink good for graffiti, his tags doesn’t get cleaned as easily and fast as he puts them up. It could also imply that because the person that stole his blackbook is now tagging his name and/or using his style, it is getting his graffiti noticed by more people.

Hoppes is similar to saying “jack, bro….” most likely used as a derogatory way in this case.

I’ve edited the annotation, but I’d like a better explanation on the last paragraph/sentence. What is the context and is there a source for this? I’m a bit confused.
