Ayo, somebody explain to me why an old fat white woman is in charge of XXL - a Hip-Hop magazine

[drugxglory]

If y'all saw the faces of people who were working at these magazines throughout the years,
your jaws would drop open...

Yeah especially in this social media age

 

[mobbinfms]

The golden days of the Source, a black man from Harlem had final say on the mics.

I'm referring to when Reginald Dennis was Editor in Chief of the Mics.

- One of them "cacs from Harvard" was the Editor-In-Chief
- The 5-mic Illmatic review was written by Miss Info, who is clearly Asian
- Chairman Mao is not Black
- Jonathan Mannion is not Black
- Carlito Rodriguez is not Black
- Kim Osorio is not Black
- Soren Baker is not Black
- Matty C is not Black
- the person in the OP worked there, too

Reginald was in The Mind Squad, and all of them weren't Black.

And all of them, with the exception of the owner, called Reginald Dennis boss.
And the owner had to beg and plead with Reginald Dennis for months about Illmatic getting 5 mics, in the magazine he owned.

lol @ the thumbnail

xxl was always corny to me, even the name is corny

The point stands that "all the staff and decision makers" weren't Black, like other dude tried to say.

And the owner had to beg and plead with Reginald Dennis for months about Illmatic getting 5 mics, in the magazine he owned.

...and so Reginald went against his judgement, and did it.

He was in charge of the mics.

He was a part of the committee that decided the mics, and they let him be the head...because he wasn't in charge.

ol head here...The only color in this world is GREEN. Sad but true.

Rappers need to be transferring over to these jobs when their rap careers are done.

True on the first part.
Reginald saw the light on the second part.
Nah. He was in charge on the last part. Unless you got evidence he was just a figure head.
