It’s interesting that you say that XXL is the streets and certifies peoples gangster, which implies that you are a tastemaker (which you no odubt are), but then you completely depend on sales figures.

Not gangster.

[...] Seriously, children. You don’t want to see 50 Cent on the cover of XXL anymore? Don’t buy it when he’s on the cover. Yellow’s told you how he thinks and I’ve known dude long enough to know there ain’t much that’s gonna make him fix what ain’t broke. [...]

What the fuck is 50 doing now? Nothing, but running his mouth. And Lloyd Banks? PLEASE!! That new single he got out now is hot ass garbage! That’s so bullshit that you discriminate (spell check?)on certain rap artists because you want to be a little pussy and play it safe. Like someone said earlier, if your magazine was the shit like you think it is, then your mag would sell regardless of who’s on the cover. I read real magazines that gives every artists a chance to shine.

oh, and that thing about kayne, kast, and luda not getting covers because they dont sell is total bullshit. that is why billboard magazine, a much more respected periodical than your fukking rag has kast on the cover. MAYBE its because the afformention artists dont really wanna fuck with you guys. your just a magazine, you’re not bigger than the music.

You are exactly what is your with hip hop/hip hop journalism. Why do you feel the need to write an article about who you put on the cover and then bragg about xxl’s reputation. nobody cares or gives a fuck about xxl, we only care about the artists you cover. you guys and the source need to get your off your pseudo high horse and just put out good issue with solid journalism. stop name dropping yourself all the time

we knew 50 would get a cover sooner or latter. he gets at least 2 a year. keep doing your thing yn. hopefully the source will get back on its feet. competition is always good. keep hitting us with the breakaday. the web site is up and running mutha%$ckas. killing it right now.

This is my first and probably last time on this blog. Another blog I like had a link to this one so I checked it out to be able to comment on the other blog.

Anyway, I am a woman and therefore not a big XXL fan, but I have heard this Interscope argument for the last year or so. My take is it is going to catch up with them eventually. They keep putting 50 (is he doing anything right now?) on the cover and yall keep complaining while you hand your money over. Eventually, you gonna be like, “fuck this shit. I don’t even want to see read this same shit again” and keep your money in your pocket. He told you himself. 50 sells his magazines. Not the content that you guys are saying you like.

The Source is back. Trust me. Pick up the 200th issue with Cube on the cover for proof.

Ellio sold his soul. Sad shit.

Elliott wilson comes off as though he reps the streets and its artists. Have you ever seen this guy? Editor of the number 1 mag, fucouttahere. xxl is no.1 by default. the source was killing you and probably will again, but do readers really care. I read all them shits but allhiphop.com should start a mag then we’ll see. Like rick james, fuck yo cover nigga, fuck yo cover.

This cat elliot is acting like some kinda diplomat or some shit. Dont ry and justilfy your positions elliot. You say it all the time that you love interscope. They basically run your ass. If you were really number one you would put common on the cover anyway to show that you got it like that. Front covers do sell magazines, but if you already got a hot product people will buy it anyway. But you a scared nigga so you play it safe instead of pushing the boundaries. Thats why Kast, Luda, and Ye get respect. They push themselves because they could give a shit about what people think. They proved themselves to be great and credible. And i’m sure they could give two shits about being on your magazine now. Tip will be that way soon. The only reason people fuck with you is cuz the source is in a major rut. Besides Murder Dog got the streets. You got the crossover audience.
