Dave Mays on How Benzino Became a Partner in The Source After Staff Quit (Part 5)

[@mrkidd3824]

I remember looking through Pages of Source seeing Benzino have a huge page to himself inside while Pac other artists had a little Pic's in the corner I was like why is this Benzino always have like 3 pages to himself every issue

I’m an Eminem fan and tbh I kept buying the source while they were beefing because I was an 11/12 year old who loved hip hop. It was once I bought a subscription and these niggas started mailing my magazines months later after their debut I said ahhh fuck no lmaoo

This video is so necessary people need to realize that XXL helped ruin a lot of things! Before XXL no one was saying Eminem was the best rapper they are the ones who did that to calls feuds and ever since they did that people have been calling Eminem the greatest rapper but they only did that because of the beef with Benzino ! People y’all need to realize this is the reason why people went around saying that Eminem is the best rapper alive before this no one cared at all to call him that !

Sorry to say it, but The Source lost credibility when Benzino took over, everyone knew who was a wack rapper but he seemed to get a lot of coverage in the magazine. I remember he got 4 and a half mics one time, I heard the album and it was terrible, average beats, no originality, conceptually boring . Dave Mays talking a lot of shit all over this segment, you kind of sense he doesnt believe what he's even saying

[@thomasdavis8861]
