Ja Rule crossed the R&B boundry, and helped spawn a whole new type of hip-hop.
You gotta be kidding playa.. Ja Rule didn't "cross the R&B boundry", what he did was bend over like a lil ole sisqo groupie and let that faggot ass R&B (Rap and Bullshit) bitch type music rape him of any hip hop credibility he might have had. And the nigga was wack as fuck even before he started whinin on wax like a lil heartbroken teenage hoe.

Ja Rule spawned a "whole new type of hip hop"?!? Are you fucking serious? That lil goofy ass nigga aint done shit that aint been done a million times before, but what he DID do was find out a way to make that garbage ass R&B shit exponentially WORSE than it already was. How the fuck he did that I have no idea.

Now I'm far from an eminem fan, but I'd rather listen to a 400 lb. buffarilla bitch fartin the star spangled banner than even one verse of that patent faggotry Ja Rule spits.

To each his own I guess.

Eminem is basically the only reason hip hop is still alive right now. He's one of probly four or five true hip hop artists left on the radio.

Oh yeah, and the source is just fuckin pathetic nowadays. I haven't been able to read that trash for about 5 years now.

And the irony of a white-owned "hip hop" magazine trying to lambast a whiteboy as all that is wrong with rap is fuckin incredible. How about the fact that the source doesn't do shit but promote gross materialism, drugs, and big titty bitches as "hip hop" strictly for *their* profit. The shit is sad, but it wasn't always like that. I remember the first issue of the source my homeboy brought to junior high school in like 88-89. The shit was just a 2 page newsletter but because it wasn't about nothing but that hip hop shit, we bought that shit every time it came out. Then it got color covers and got fatter and then it got glossy and started morphing into a bitch ass fashion mag with a little bit of rap shit sprinkled in. Nowadays it aint nothin but a runaway pile of dog shit trying to portray itself as some sort of politically conscious "savior" of hip hop.

I don't give a fuck about eminem either way, but for them whiteys to act like they need to "save" hip hop from another whitey is the epitome of the pot callin the kettle black. I can't believe they used that wack ass benzino verse as a hip hop quotable. I've heard lil romeo come with more intricate and deeper rhymes than that bullshit. Benzino trying to act like his beef is with the "machine" of the music industry is hilarious.

Somebody tell that non rappin muthafucka to go cop Pink Floyd's Wish You Were Here album to hear some real music aimed at the "machine". Benzino is just a victim of jealousy and envy. It would be one thing if the muthafucka could actually come with some tight battle shit but GOT DAMN that shit he spits is weak.

to tell the truth, it aint that he did for hip hop, it's what he did to get where he is.... he's participated in countless freestyle battles and made appearances in hip hop radio shows like the wake up show and stretch + bobbito to spit freestyles...... to me that gets respect. he's gained his stripes in the underground stages, something that almost all rappers in the mainstream lack. even though he's recorded alot of dumb shit within the past few years
(shit, i havent bought an eminem album since 1999), he proves that he can still spit. just listen to that single he got for his movie...... that's the eminem i'm talkin about, not that dumb shit like the first single he dropped this year.

Em did not bring shit to HIP-HOP sorry. Rap will still be crackin without him. He's gettin' paid major ca$h thanks to Dr. Dre. With that said, he's still a good artist, better than alot that's out there. Ja is garbage. He's a Pac wannabe. No matter what we thinks of the that cat he's doing something right. He's fo' sho' 3 platinum everytime. Females love that cat music. Benzino can't fuck with Em. Murdog and XXL are the best magz right now. The Sauce needs more flava. Like more interviews with cats like Yukmouth, C-Bo, Lynch, Mob Figaz, Bosko, A-WAX (#3 in the Bay I think) and JT.

Just curious.... Why do you think The Source needs to interview these people? What appeal do you think those interviews would have to national readers?

If you have a couple minutes, break it down for every person you listed and try to make it more convincing than some stupid shit like 'cuz he is tight'.

Ps.

The Source has become the TeenBeat of magazines for people who like rap music. It also doubles as a Wal Mart catalog. You can get anything in it from clothing to jewelry to instructional video tapes on how to become the next Russel Simmons. I'm pretty sure if you look through all the pages, you'll even see an ad for Sea Monkeys in there somewhere.

Regardless of how bad The Source has gotten, I still get every issue and read it cover to cover. If you're gonna be in the music business, in any capacity, it does nothing but benefit you to read as many music magazines as possible. Even if you don't like them, you need to be able to see and understand what the consumers are looking at. If that means reading The Source even though you don't like it, that's what you need to do.

I read (cover to cover) every music magazine I can get my hands on including Spin, The Source, Rolling Stone, Vibe, XXL, Blender and countless others. More importantly, don't just read the shit relating to hip hop, read up on the other genres included in the mags. I could give a flying fuck about The Strokes or Sum-41, but I've read about 10 different articles/interviews on them because they are making a dent in the music industry. It's beneficial to understand what is happening in the industry you're tryin' to be in even if you don't think certain things apply or relate to you and hip hop.

My .02 cents.
