Mass Appeal comes under fire from former employees.

[Rell Lauren]

Some of us have been telling y'all this for years and it's siloed to Mass Appeal. There's a giant thread about media companies and the lack of Black people there. I've posted my experiences extensively in there.

EDIT: It's NOT siloed.

and this is why cacs run the culture... brehs looking sitting and waiting. someone needs to do something

oh someone will you keep waiting... the source was started in a dorm, genius was started in a dorm, complex was founded by a broke artist in Montreal...

And this is literally the easiest time ever to do it. I get being mad about it but stop just complaining about this shyt, get up and start something! All these former employees probably have enough knowledge and know how to start their own hiphop publication..

 

[wordsbymj]

pic is being repurposed. that shyt was taken long before he was involved with Mass appeal... now it's supposed to be a look into the office.

The same way people repurpose the picture of Hov and Beyonce at the all white Tidal office without stating that they bought the company all in and it’s based in Norway.

Context matters.

Uh the Source was started by a white dude to. David Mays:

I heard a little story about Genius.

one of them kept saying Cam'ron was the reason they created it. apparently Cam wanted a percentage of the company at a certain price and got told no, they sold it for a lot of money and Cam missed out on a nice payday and since then he won't do anything with them in any capacity.

one of the Genius wife is/was a big Cam fan too. has a Cam'ron tattoo.
she worked in politics and was friends with Lena Dunham (red flag 1) and was in a relationship with Terry Richardson (red flag 2).

I'm sure DatPiff is another website created by a white guy because he loved Dipset mixtapes.

 

[AnonymityX1000]

he didn't start the Source alone it was a group and they ALWAYS had Black Staff. The writers are what made that publication what it was in the culture. There's a lot of Source Black alumni still in the industry today.

True, and he was probably the only white face at his company

The editor in Chief was Jonathan Shecter another founding member another Jewish guy. Yeah, the Source may have been Blacker than these current companies but to act like it was white boy free is false.

He been right all along

Comparing a company with under 5 white people to one that is 98% white is retarded.
