Woe to The Source, Yo
Village Voice has a lengthy story detailing hiphop magazine The Source’s legal woes, frequent accusations of sexism among staffers, declining circulation and ad revenue, and misguided editorial decisions (mostly made by co-owner/rapper/Eminem-hater Benzino). Even if you’re not a huge fan of mainstream hiphop, the piece is a fascinating and disgusting portrayal of a tastemaker publication that seems to be on the ropes.
