for everyone with an opinion here that posts adam 22 videos, complex, vladtv, genius, dj booth, needle drop reviews.

check yourself.

y'all have a hand in this as well. where are you sourcing your content from and who are YOU supporting. I'm really tired of this generations inability to account for individual responsibility. white people don't just pop up with successful businesses in our culture WE drive business to them.

at least I can look back at growing up in an era where the source dominated reporting on the culture. that strangle hold on the game was vicious. it is a generational thing. we got to a place where people handed out pieces of this thing to outsiders. it wasn't taken. the 90's fans would never have rolled with outside reporting on rap as dominantly as it is done today. let's stop talking about what they are taking and speak on what we are giving away.

It's gonna be people in here enraged who will continue to support outsiders reporting on the culture

nahright is dead eskay is ghost
2dopeboyz is dusty
Okayplayer is irrelevant

need I say more... Black platforms get tossed to the side by nikkaz all the time. Hold us accountable. If you just point fingers to cacs you a goddamn liar.

Jungle label is called street dreams

Nas has stake in Mass appeal but he bought the company pre existing as it was a magazine brand before

how big is his stake? If he doesn't have any power over these decisions he should just sell, because this is horrible.

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.

Pic says it all :skip:

How much power does Nas wield there? If he comes out and shyts on it while taking his money and leave, then the whole company is done. Or he could flip it. Use his power to get more nikkaz in there.

But this shyt ain't nothing new.
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. :duck:

So it’s basically another Complex:yeshrug: White folks been running hiphop culture man. Somebody need to leave one of them places anc start a space for black folks
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...
