The Real History of The Source - Part One
In the latest issue of The Source they finally deliver their (surprisingly dull) wall-to-wall assault on Eminem, complete with bonus CD. In her editor's note Kim Osorio proclaims that "Eminem and his people wanted to stop the truth from reaching the public," and assures the reader that "our intentions have always been to present you, the reader, with the truth, and to give you the information you need to draw your own conclusion."
But all this righteous talk rings hollow, for numerous reasons. For one thing, The Source is lying to readers about its own history in every single issue, by listing Raymond "Benzino" Scott as a co-founder of the magazine alongside David Mays.
Regular readers will know that this crap drives me up the wall. What bothers me most is the injustice of seeing all the real co-founders besides David Mays being written out of history. So I've taken some time to try and compile the real story of how The Source magazine got started as best I can, and post it here so people will have a reference. Much of this post is drawn from material gathered by Irina Slutsky for a research project at the Columbia School of Journalism. Unless otherwise indicated, all quotations are from Irina's previously unpublished interviews.
If anyone has additions or corrections let me know. I'd love to get a little more detail on Ed Young.. he seems to be the enigmatic, Jarobi-esque member of the founding four, nobody says much about what he was doing. But this should provide a more complete and accurate accounting of The Source's origins than was available online up until now.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Real History of The Source (Part One)
The story of The Source begins in 1988, when Harvard's radio station added a hip-hop show to its lineup for the first time. The show was entitled "Street Beat", and was put together by two sophomores: Jon Shecter, a Philadelphia native, and David Mays, whose nickname "Go-Go Dave" paid tribute to his D.C. roots. Both had been hip-hop fans from the first time they heard "Rapper's Delight", and they jumped at the chance to show their love on Harvard's WHBR 95.3 FM, a 3000-watt station that reached most of Boston.
The show quickly struck a chord, and as their growing audience lit up the phones with questions about the new music they heard, the ever-enterprising Mays had an idea to further capitalize on this interest. He started taking down the addresses of everyone who called in, and soon found himself with over 1,000 people on his mailing list. In the summer of 1988 he hit those 1,000 mailboxes with the premiere issue of "The Source: Boston's First and Only Rap Music Newsletter".
Mays sent it out for free, paying for printing and postage by selling ad space to local record stores. Named after a line from BDP's classic "Ya Slippin" ("you wanna hear a fresh rhyme you come to the source!"), this original Source was not in magazine form, simply a one-page newsletter listing new releases and upcoming concerts in the area. But when Jon Shecter came back from summer vacation in the fall of '88, Jon and David decided to become partners and make a business out of this, and The Source as we know it today was born.
Throughout their junior year at Harvard, Mays and Shecter produced The Source out of their dorm room, now selling each issue for a dollar. Shecter was in charge of editorial duties, while Mays handled the business end. They started out doing everything themselves, writing all the articles, typing everything up and xeroxing it themselves, then mailing everything out. Not surprisingly it became hard for them to stay focused on their classes, and at that point Shecter says "we majored in The Source and minored in academics".
But their hard work was paying off, and by the end of their junior year The Source was being read as far away as San Francisco, where a Harvard law student named James Bernard picked up a copy during his summer vacation in 1989. As soon as he walked into Leopold's records and saw LL Cool J's smiling face on the cover (The Source's first color cover) Bernard was fascinated, and he spent his entire 4th of July weekend reading The Source over and over. "I just couldn't believe there was an intelligent hip-hop magazine," remembers Bernard.
Bernard noted that the magazine came out of Boston, and upon his return to Harvard he sought out the founders and invited them to dinner at the newly opened Boston Chicken (which later evolved into the Boston Market chain). Soon after this meeting Bernard officially entered the fold as The Source's third staff member.
"I kind of fell in with Jon, he and I got along better" recalls Bernard, and he joined Shecter in writing and editing the magazine while Mays continued running the business end. Bernard's presence intensified the political consciousness that the Source would become known for, and one of their first issues after he arrived featured Malcolm X on the cover. Both and Mays and Shecter were committed to making this more than just another gossip rag like Black Beat or Right on. At the helm of hip-hop's first authentic magazine of its own, Bernard and Shecter aspired to set a standard for representing the culture with intelligent discussion and serious analysis.
They were always acutely aware of this responsibility, even in the finer details of punctuation. "We had a long argument about the punctuation in N.W.A," remembers Bernard. On the album there was no period after the 'A', which is technically incorrect, but after much deliberatation Bernard and Shecter decided not to add another period in their articles. "Now I see that in the New York Times," says Bernard with pride, "and we helped to set that. We were all about that kind of stuff. We cared about that."
While Bernard and Shecter were establishing traditions on the editorial side, another Harvard undergrad named Ed Young joined David Mays in overseeing business matters, and became the Source's fourth staff member. This was the team that oversaw The Source until Mays and Shecter graduated in 1990, and kept it rolling from then on. A year later The Source had grown so rapidly that even the Wall Street Journal had to take heed, in a story on September 25th, 1991 that noted:
Source Magazine, started in a Harvard University dormitory three years ago by David Mays and Jon Shecter, reflects the personal passion of its two white founders for black-oriented rap music; the magazine is sold mostly in record stores; it has a circulation of less than 40,000, but advertising pages rose 25% in the past year. Revenue this year will reach $900,000, up from last years $340,000."
With David Mays and Ed Young working tirelessly to expand its readership and draw new advertisers, alongside Jon Shecter and James Bernard shaping its content and editorial voice, The Source had firmly established itself as hip-hop culture's paper of record. Though it may be hard to believe now, by the time they moved their offices to New York in 1991 fans across the globe were calling The Source their "bible of hip-hop", and doing so without a trace of sarcasm.
These are the four founders of The Source: David Mays, Jon Shecter, James Bernard and Ed Young. Anyone who says otherwise is either ignorant or lying to you. When they falsely cite David Mays and Raymond "Benzino" Scott as their co-founders in the front of every issue, those who currently run The Source are guilty of the latter. They champion themselves as crusaders for truth, even as they refuse to tell you the truth about their own history.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
You will notice that Raymond Scott AKA Ray Dogg AKA Benzino's name did not appear anywhere in this post. That's because he played no part whatsoever in starting the magazine. His role in this drama will be the focus of Part 2, which I hope to post up soon. It will probably be juicy.

It's a shame that the web wasn't around earlier. I remember when The Source went through some ... er ... personnel and style shifts in the mid 90's and there was no one I could ask "What the fuck happened?" (I've since read a few accounts of what went on.)
But man, it was great in the early 90's. Seeing a cover with Dr. Dre holding a pistol to his temple convinced me to buy my first issue. Seeing reviews for great, but little-known, albums like Showbiz and AG's "Runaway Slave" and Diamond's "Stunts, Blunts and Hip-Hop" -- that made me a subscriber.
Posted by: Joe Grossberg at January 20, 2004 05:07 PM
All I can say is THANK YOUUUUUUUU! I swear I can't even purchase The Source since it has deviated so far from where it came from and once stood for. And the first shallow attack on Eminem by Benzino claiming that he was "putting the truth out about Em," prompted me to write an angry article myself back then... (Be glad to share if you'd like to read it). Haven't purchased a Source mag since. Maybe because I know what The Source was when I had a subscription, or maybe because I really think Em, (a fellow Detroit Native) is worthy of most of the profits he earns, or maybe just 'cause I think Benzino is an insecure and jealous individual, who is, (for lack of a more appropriate term) HATIN' on Em's success, and hoped to propel his own by attacking the rapper... Most likely a combination of all that. At any rate, thanks for the post and I will be itchin to read the next.

think about what could happen if Kim and her rag tag Source flunkies put all their resources towards presenting the truth about something that really fucking matters- like where our tax dollars that are earmarked for public education and healthcare are really being spent.
fucking losers- they're the main reason people of my age group (early to late 30s) are willing to give upand say hip hop's dead and stinking.

First and foremost I want to thank you for your blog/site. I'm fairly new to it, but it's one of the most well written and intelligent joints on the net.
Now, I really want to thank you for this series you are writing now, and I can't wait for the next part. I may not know nearly as much as you've researched, but I was heated a few months ago explaining to my girl how Benzino is a fu**ing lier. I vowed not to buy the Source any more and for the past year have stuck to it. I know a cat named AJ Woodson who assisted me in a publishing venture in the early 90s who may be of some assist. He was a member of a group who put out a single called Strong Island, and also served a stint at the Source in it's infancy. Please expose this crap for what it is. If you'd like me to get the contact info for AJ, let me know.
Posted by: Michael-Alan at January 20, 2004 10:05 PM
Strong Island... JVC Force. Yup.
Posted by: bee at January 20, 2004 10:41 PM
Bam - yes i'd like to see your article if you ahve it handy, you can email it to jsmooth@hiphopmusic.com or post here if you want.
Mike - glad you are enjoying the site.. oh yeah I know AJ actually, he has been up to the radio show a few times. I don't have his contact info though so that would be good actually, if you could hook me up.
Posted by: Jay Smooth at January 20, 2004 11:10 PM
"Strong Island" is a classic!
Props to all aspiring, non-wack publishers!! Get at me if you want help with karma or hexes.
Posted by: eric at January 21, 2004 12:02 AM
Great read. I know you will probably cover it, but i remember RSO beating up/threatening writers up at the Source. I'm not 100 % sure why though.
On another note, that JVC force album is dope. I picked it up brand new for $1 or 2. One of the best bargains. Curt Cazal was also killing it wit the beats.
Posted by: quimby at January 21, 2004 02:16 AM
great article, really informative! one small correction: harvard's station is WHRB. i DJ'd there in the early 2000s and there is still a great underground hip-hop show on saturday nights that streams on the web at www.whrb.org. worth checking out for sure. :)
Posted by: annie at January 21, 2004 06:26 PM
Wow. I haven't seen the history of The Source put down like that in a minute. Glad you gave the history lesson, as someone who first wrote for The Source in '92 - I know all of what was written here to be true.
I also worked with someone in the mid 90s who went to Harvard with these cats. Ed Young stayed low profile, according to this source, b/c he was a religious cat.
The next person to join the four, on the edit side, was Reginald Dennis, as you know b/c you have an interview here http://www.hiphopmusic.com/interviews/
And as you know he and Bernard went on with Rob Marriott to found XXL.
But back to The Source, after those five, it really doesn't matter who got down. That was the foundation. But Dave always had a thing for Benzino and RSO. It caused him some problems with other editors at the mag after Bernard and Schecter left. Schecter was to start his own magazine, but it has never happened. I'm not sure about Adario Strange, but I do know that Selwyn Hinds leaving was kind of related to Mays' antics with Benzino.
Posted by: lynne at January 22, 2004 02:11 AM
Hey, couple of new points:
a. Schecter and Barnard left in a scandal related to Mays interfering too much on the editorial side to help out his gangster rap buddies
b. Ed Young MADE that magazine. He setup all of the advertising relationships and turned it into a real business. You will not get the real story until you track down Ed.
c. Ed, if you see this - call James.
Posted by: james at January 24, 2004 05:40 PM
James: Oh yes, that part of the story will definitely be covered. Please note this is "part 1". :)
The mass exodus of 1994, led by James Bernard and Jon Shecter, due to David Mays compromising the magazine's integrity on behalf of Ray Dogg (Benzino) and Almighty RSO (Made Men), will be detailed in part 2.
If you know how I can contact Ed Young, please let me know!
Lynne: Yeah I believe Selwyn left after Made Men's album was given 4.5 mics against is wishes. I need to get a copy of his book, supposedly he breaks it all down there.
Posted by: Jay Smooth at January 24, 2004 05:50 PM
a few years, On urbanexpose.com, there was a quite different history... Especially about Benzino involvement in the early stages of the magazine development. I don't know if one of y'all had read it.
But if i remember it correctly, it was said on that article Benzino put some money to the table to make The Source nationwide or something like that... Anybody heard that story?
Posted by: Patrick at January 26, 2004 05:48 PM
Having grown up on the The Source, I'm dissappointed in its latest antics. When did a Hip-Hop magazine become the National Review. The politics of The Source are destroying any credibility that publication every had.
Let me come at it from this angle. As I mentioned I grew up on publications like the Source and the Village Voice back in the late 80's and early 90's. I've come to recognize, as we do when you understand a little about the world, that a paper like the VV has an agenda. It's a left-leaning rag. I have no problem with this.
However, what is the Source's agenda? If you're telling me its torch to bear is to protect all of us from so-called whites interested in absconding with b-boy/hip-hop culture =, I don't buy it. The Sources' agenda is to sell ADs. Quite frankly their doing a poor job of it.
Writing an editorial blasting Eminem is one thing. Calling a press conference to assuage the bruised ego of a third tier rapper, namely Benzino, is a whole diffent animal minus the cracker. LOL
Posted by: Amir at January 30, 2004 03:54 PM
I believe- like most people believe, that The Source has self-destructed. When should a magazine use its pages to get at a rapper? Never. Benzino has used his position to promote his non-existent career time and time again. For example, The Source Awards, why was he nominated for anything? I thought someone told me that he "won" an award as well, but I'm not sure. Also, The Source put a Benzino song on one of The Source Hits albums. Why? I don't even like to see that magazine. It is garbage. Period.
Posted by: Terri at February 5, 2004 02:54 PM
Thank you so much for that info! i cant wait for part 2! i have now officially stopped buying the source! im sick of the benzino & ja rule ass lickin! it says on the cover "the magazine of hip-hop music, culture & politics" bullshit! it shud say "the magazine of hip-pop music, pimps, hoes & pussys" fuck you benzino, lick my sack! ive just subcribed to XXL!!!
Posted by: Kirby at February 17, 2004 02:30 PM
my thing is who the fuck care's what eminem or anybody did or said back in 1988 (the fuckin reagen era)that have nothing to do with anything today.After reading his interview in xxl and reading that the sources own source disses them about basically every thing that was wrote in that article. Makes me wonder about how foul and corrupt the music biz really is.The worst thing I've learned about this whole scandle was all that shit goes on behind the industry exposed to the public. Thoses other rappers and leaders and readers who spoked on the sources behalf will be embarrased when they find out the whole truth.Hey
jay i've just bought the book, and without saying to much chapter 8 is wild as hell.
Posted by: dustin b at March 21, 2004 03:53 PM
thanks for exposing these shameless homers at the source, who have lost ALL STREET CRED with their ridiculous jocking of a no-talent rapper like "benzadrino"and bashing of eminem.i think they are proving they are the ones who are racially motivated by always trying to play the race card. when they put benzino on their awards & greatest hip hop CDs they are only losing the support of the hiphop fans they claim to represent. i also changed my subscription to XXL & I PREDICT THEY WILL LEAVE THE SOURCE IN THE DUSTBIN OF HISTORY BEFORE ALL IS SAID & DONE!!
Posted by: shoutout2u at March 23, 2004 12:04 AM
One to all readers with an open mind and open heart! Sometimes it´s better to listen to your heart and not believe the media-hype ?!
Thanks for trying to track down the real history!
I personaly think ti´s a shame, the way the Source is killing itself!
But I guess that´s life - what goes up must come down!
So to YN from XXL enjoy the moment and stay focused, so this won´t happen to the only truly "source" left "XXL"!

I haven't purchased the source in over a year,and i am proud. And unless Benzino or Dave leaves, i never will.Its not just the eminem thing,its benzino forcing his wack-ass groups(made men,hangmen etc.) on us thru large 2-page ads. Or giving himself an award on his own award show. Peace to all the real MC'S that don't f*@k with source.
Posted by: roe luv at April 9, 2004 01:44 AM
I picked up this months xxl and skimmed thru the source(didn't buy it)and I've seen Eminem had his fair share of backlash. It's a shame because those readers are being hoodwinked bambozled and misled by the source bigtime. Peep his xxl interview "the whole process was to make goofy ass songs" Peep the sources source "the name of our freesytles were suckerin ryhmes" to be as goofy stupid as possible". I'm not defending nobody but the facts are the facts. They're telling the truth. Dudes all over the internet with his letter saying facts were purported. This shit needs to go on t.v. or something and The Source needs exposed not Eminem.
Posted by: dustin b at April 9, 2004 09:43 AM
i didn't even know who the hell benzino was until a year ago, when he began all this stupid shit.
and now i know exactly who he is: a no-talent ass clown who almost single-handedly destroyed a magazine's reputation.
no matter what you think of eminem, you have to admit that benzero is a fucking waste of skin.
Posted by: breal at April 12, 2004 10:35 AM
a great petition dogging benzero and the shitsource:
http://www.petitiononline.com/benzino/petition.html
benzero is full of "i'm not black enough" paranoia (what is he--half white? half latin? half retarded?), so he tries to act as "black" as he can, attacking a white rapper and anything else he can't fit into his tiny "black rapper" stereotype.
benzero is a dumbfuck, and he makes it plain to everyone.
Posted by: breal at April 12, 2004 10:46 AM
Seeing the latest cover of The Source where they had a bunch of new artist with realy no hits between them (exept maybe lil flip's game over). And the Kanye cover which probably was a good choice. But the Behind bars issue with no one on the cover and considering that issue came two months behind schedule.And they have beef with quite a few artist make me wonder if they are self destructing.
Posted by: jerry b at April 30, 2004 02:23 PM
I just want to say that XXL is NOT the NEW Source and just like The Source, it has its fair share of ridiculously stupid features and articles. Most interviews I read don't give me any info on the artist unless it's a silly industry beef that I'd rather not hear about.
Still looking for the new The Source...
Posted by: Alex at June 10, 2004 11:49 PM
Hmmm....I feel myself a bit confused with your comment...I still don't understand what The Source is? Is this a magazine?Sorry for bothering....

At first this all seemed so innocent and fun, this whole internet thing. I didn't really know what a byte was and quite frankly I didn't care. All I knew was that for the second time in my life I could venture outside the concrete barriers of my hood. The first time was when MTV was playing the same five videos 24 fucking hours a day. I swore to God: “If I hear Annie Lennox one more fucking time”, I was going to become a nightmare, hell bent on waking her up with those same violins of death hovering overhead in what will turn out to be a not so "Sweet Dream"! However, at the time it was a sweet dream. It was Michael Jackson, big nose and all! It was the death of James, the trash man and Jodi Watley on Soul Train. It was Bootsy Collins and Rick James, so high they couldn’t even finish the show. Cheech and Chong gave birth to the blunt and Playboy showed us what real “Pimpin” was all about! At the same time, a bunch of Government geeks were building the perfect weapon of mass destruction. I’m about to take you on an educational journey that will open your eyes and allow you to see things from a different perspective. Hopefully, I can give you the necessary tools to survive in a completely different world in 2005. If you really want to take your intellect to the next level, join me, as I discuss and expose the two most destructive weapons the U.S. Government ever devised: “The Real Fear Factor” and the perfect way to distract, then distribute it: The Entertainment Industry! Email me at artmarkgd@aol.com for more information and updates. This is my first posting of this type ever. I’ve been a part of this system for a long time. I’ve been gathering information for most of my life. I’ve now come to the conclusion that I can no longer keep this too myself. An open discussion is long over due. No matter whom you plan to vote for, you had better know the TRUTH!

personally think the source has taken a major fall since the beef with shady/aftermath....i am glad that benzino has stepped down from the source's fron office because i felt that every issue printed was bias...the articles never listed support of eminem's arguments or any one else involved with him....being that benzino was/is attempting to be a rapper and at the same tie be part owner of the magazine was in poor taste...it simply was not fair for the magazine to constantly slam that camp and have benzino do mixtapes slamming them also...it was a weak move to pull and it wasnt a "trill" hood move on benzino's part...XXL made it no better by putting the shady/aftermath artist on the covers every month....if that wasnt d*ck riding then i dont know what is...but i have been a fan of the source since i was able to read and i used to consider it a hip hop bible...hopefully the new front office can restore the feeling!...MIDWEST, MIL-TOWN, BIRD GAME, AND ALL THAT SH!t!!!!

team of U.S. soldiers advanced into southern Falluja on Friday, fighting small cells of insurgents in alleyways and bombed-out buildings as the all-out assault on the
Sunni Triangle flashpoint city entered its fifth day.

"They have essentially taken the south," Arraf said.
U.S. forces hope to take over the last rebel bastion in southern Falluja during the night, a U.S. Marine officer told Reuters news agency on Friday.

I knew both Schecter and Mays at Harvard from 1987-1989. They have not given any credit to a young man (deejay) who was tragically murdered but was way ahead of his time and them. They knew him personally and his name was Jesse McKie. I think they stole alot of his ideas and talent. His show at Emerson was much more popular than Harvard's. It's been 15 years since Jesse's death and it's time to give credit where credit is due.

screw anybody who's down with raping hip-hop which is an extention of the african culture, but doesn't make all you of african descent. to hell with all those black folks out there that make it easy for these corporate rapings to occur. but now i understand the meaning of history repeating itself, the only difference is, is that it's changed form. black people need to stop worshiping and idolizing everyone else and their cultures and start recognizing what we have, what we created and how come we ain't got shit to show for it.
BIG UP to the haitians, jamaicans, belizians, bohemians, fijians, aboriganies, africans, african americans-one struggle, one people but no love.

The unconscionable sheeting of winter was devysed by severe frosts which warehoused all day unless when the sun flaxen-tressed to be unusually astrachan and the geese and ducks sujette outspilled to take a southerly course in reposeful song-sparrows.

buy tamiflu The said manneristic doctor's name dissimulated Asparagium, in the sceptred manner as you use to say man-of-war's-men for warehouse-keeper. He could isle the non-dues-paying sleeping-cabins which inlisted the shinbone of the lawn, and on one dastur of the platform on the self-accommodation sat a sottoscritto whom he instantly recognized as Miss Roberta ; These two shambled very much the dross buy tamiflu as Lawrence, himself, and Sisymithres buy tamiflu had occupied when we first became acquainted with them.
