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

[SpacelySprockets]

Where they go

to complex.com

 

[mobbinfms]

In all honesty, an older person should be in charge of a hip hop magazine. We are taking about a 40 year old genre.

 

[Renegade47]

how in the fukk

 

[Renegade47]

we gone get this coli mag going or naw?

 

[Victorious Secret]

Why you making racist comments?

She's probably a nice lady.

- 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

besides matty & mis info (which both didn't have much power/decision making) were not black

Bonz Malone, Kierna Mayo, Cheo Hodari, James Bernard, Reginald Dennis, Ed Young, Elliot Wilson, Star n buck etc...etc....
my bad for saying all i should have said 'damn near all'

breh - it's no way anyone can say the original source mag wasn't written, edited & overseen by us
cause if it wasn't, it wouldn't have had da success it achieved

...but who was in charge, doe?
That's what's in question here...The Source was founded by White men, it had a gang of non-Blacks working there,
and it had as many non-Black Editors-In-Chiefs as it did Black ones.

Vanessa Satten is a very real ons.

The first XXL magazine I purchased was the summer of 2000 and she was their top dawg interview wise.

Why do u think they got all those great Jigga, X, Ja, Eminem, Hot Boy, Big Tymer, Snoop, Suge, Nas, Mobb Deep etc. interviews

She is official tissue, that clown ass dikkrider Elliot Wilson is who yall should have issues with

 

[Creasy]

pay him no mind. This is the part of The Coli where posters force this "Source was cacced out" narrative because they're secretly insecure their region didn't make classics (and hence get mics).

Hip hop journalism as a whole was way more black in the 90s than now. That's not even a debate.

 

[bigbadbossup2012]

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

didnt

give illmatic 5 mics?

 

[straightcash]

They'd need to know how to form a proper sentence in writing, and be opinionated. Rappers are one or the other, not both.
