FINANCIAL TROUBLE???? The Source Magazine's Assets Are Being AUCTIONED OFF THIS WEEK!!!

: What’s going on with The Source Magazine. For weeks MediaTakeOut.com has been getting conflicting reports about the magazine’s financial health. And last week an anonymous poster sent in the below – a legal document which seems to say that the magazine’s assets are being SOLD AT AUCTION this Thursday.

MediaTakeOut.com reached out to the magazine and its reps. And so far, we haven’t got any explanation of what’s going on.

Developing…

Of course any media outlet that follows up on this MediaTakeOut.com original report is REQUIRED to credit us. We put in hard work on this, we deserve credit.

Ray Benzino ran that magagzine into the ground - it WAS the Hip-Hip bible till he got ahold of it!!

Foxy90210

This is old news!


mayahotblaze

WOW!! Thats crazy!


bugged1

Damn!!!! That's messed up. That dude Benzino ruined that magazine.


bigsam404

I agree with bugged1, that magazine got ran into the ground by Benzino and his vendetta against 50 and Eminem. It has been garbage ever since then. See what that beef sh!t gets u? DAMN!!


Cantria9

Wow!


fcsalzano

That's funny. Watch out for our involuntary bankruptcy or temporary restraining order.


C-Note

Yo I heard that is a fake-out move. That is the last debts of the old owners. It is not simple and lawsuits are all over that company I am sure. You know who their new owners are....



missk1203

c/s with bigsam404. Benzino was so wrapped up into trying to beef with 50 and Eminem that he let the magazine go downhill. instead of tryin to beef with them he should've been putting their azz on the cover.


Beatit

blah, blah...this is hilarious. The new Source looks like it's doing well. Also, they don't belittle women like those other magazines...


lah96761

Ha, Ha, HA!


IMSONEGATIVE

WOW EVERYBODY'S HURTIN!


roww

magazines are hurting globally, so it's not a surprise that the source went under.

who gonna buy it tho?

no one we know.


suaveniqqa

Those niqqas been struggling. That aint news. 4real.


imsickoftvnradio

MTO stop braggin about being the first to tell bad news about people. You are the main ones copying people all the time. MTO is not smart enough to get their own news. BTW the person posting these threads is WENDY WILLIAMS. Yes Fred might have put the money up but when you read the post it is all Wendy Williams personality. She is all about the trash anyway. Think about it. I like the gossip sometimes so Im okay.

But on the real...I hate to see something with black people in it go.

If that is the mag with Irv Gotti then frankly my dear I dont give a f*ck.

Nas use to be my play husband lol.


imsickoftvnradio

@Morebooty4you; why were you being rude to your man while he was handling his business lol. You could have at least let him know you enjoyed it lol. (funny comment though)

Oh so it was Benzino. I heard a lot of bad things about that dude.


fashionstar222

I knew that would happen soon. I interned there for a period of time. They were not following through on payments to photographers, hair stylists, fashion stylist, models etc. I remember when the editor I was working under was having a hard time booking anyone because of past due invoices. I know when Hoops won Flavor of Love and asked to shoot for the magazine that made it clear that she would not be paid. They G the video/reality tv Vixens by saying it will be good exposure for them (HA!). Anyway the office was really hood to. Hopefully, someone will purchase Source and give it a facelift.


fashionstar222

****I know when Hoops won Flavor of Love and tehy asked her to do a shoot for the magazine they made it clear that she would not be paid****


AmberRay

amarefan

Not surprised if this is true. I never read it anyway.


Girlsluvgems

I subscribe to VIBE. By the way, did anybody see the February 09 issue with Kanye West on the cover??? If you read the 20 questions, #12 is hilarious!!!!!!


Girlsluvgems

Ok, ok... If you dont have the time or the money to get the VIBE magazine, then I will just tell you what it said:

#12 of the The 20 Questions Are people done pretending Beyonce's new album is better than Solange's?

LOL VIBE is soooo funny and so REAL. I'm a customer for life!


FrankW

D@m man! The source use to be the sh!t. This is truly a sad day for a great mag. Oh well, I found a tight place online to feed my HipHop addiction so i'm cool:)

choclatdrop

DAmn!! the source is going under??? I cant believe this!!! This recession is hurting everyone and I mean EVERYONE! Maybe when the recession is over, they can jump start back up. I sure hope so.


Inspirn

MissPooh72
