--------
In the latest clip, Dave Mays explained how he became friends with Benzino and eventually brought him into The Source as a partner. In describing his relationship with Benzino, he revealed that he helped get the rapper's group, The Almighty RSO, their deal with Tommy Boy Records. After detailing the roles of the other partners he and co-founder John Shecter brought in, Mays revealed he raised $75,000 in his senior year at Harvard by selling a year's worth of ads to record labels that depended on The Source's support. With the newly acquired funds, Mays and Shecter moved to New York where they set up a small office and began to publish the magazine in a glossier look. Mays also pointed out that Chuck D was the first to give The Source its title as the Bible of Hip Hop.

Shawn Prez has really step it up as a interviewer 👏👏👏
The interview seems more like a conversation with Shawn while vlad comes off more like an interrogation
@@jeremylawson7401 nah , the only good interviews are with vlad
Ray's got Ak's to Dave Mays' head, every issue there's an 8 page Made Men spread...
Will someone please tell whoever braids his head
The Sauce is a criminally underrated, diss track 💯
The source is the best hip hop magazine that started all the hip hop information !
Until him and Benzino ruined it.
Until they tried to push "Zino" as an established rap act.

Dave Mays looks like a mob turncoat in witness protection.
Back then either you had XXL or THE SOURCE magazine for your Hip Hop fix. Wasnt no internet. 🍻
XXL mag came later… that rating style was all the SOURCE mag
I switched to XXL in '99, when the Source went to shit..
🤣🤣🤣 XXL was way late..they basically rode the wave and benefited from the hip hop transition ..Source is the originator for hip hop.but let’s b clear,Right On is the Alpha for the culture
No way he isn’t the next villain in Far Cry
Source was my highschool-college years. We wouldnt even buy it usually. Just stand in the store and read it. And went straight to the mic rating section
They had it in plastic
If it was rayed high I bought it
Dave was Beansie and Benzino was Richie Aprile
Benzino is the reason it went under lol..fucking with the wrong person backfired. But I'm sure we'll hear all about it in the interview with Em's name in the title,that clip gonna get triple what the rest will in views
Lies. That brand thrived under Benzino. It was top dawg and no pun intended but ir was the source of Hip Hop. REAL Hip Hop too. Countless men and women got signed and became multi millionaires because of Benzino and The Source. It was a GRASSROOTS-RAN publishing unlike the corporate commercial ish today.
Dude got that Hollywood hogan nwo beard
I'm high bro that shit just made me almost throw up.. 🤣🤣🤣
He’s like a imitation version of the lawyer from Carlitos way.
@UCEx_msHzktZRRhbirfyhw7A hahaha holy shit!
No he looks like Carlito...not the lawyer
@@user-kv3ut6pv4b but he’s not tough. He’s the professional on the cusp of trying to be a criminal.
@@Ramble79 Yeah...just talking about the look....not the street guy stuff
You need to watch it again . He looks like Carlito
Why does Dave Mays look like he's in witness protection?
The Source was really that "source" for the hip hop heads tho
He look like rock and roll Tony stark
Not gone lie, I thought Vladtv had Robert downy at first lol. Dope interview
You wildin for this one!😂🤡
@@juanzamarripa3133 🤣🤣🤣🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️🤷🏿♂️
I noticed this about Prez interviewing style in the Yin Yang Twins interview - he needs to let the people he talks to tell their stories uninterrupted. Stop cutting them off. Yes, we know you already have questions ready to ask them. Just wait until they finish fully expressing themselves, instead of interrupting them bc you want to ask one of your questions.
Man he had to do that with the Ying Yang Twins or it ain’t no telling where that interview would’ve went
This guy looks like a young Ringo Starr
Facts

Watching Vlad and then actually knowing who ringo star is earns my respect… most cats who think they know music in here have know idea who he is.

He must run through beard dye a jar a day
Don't ever disrespect me going on Vlad looking like Félix Gallardo from Wish
This is what Neo was supposed to look like
Street doesnt have to mean stupid.

This interview is so dope!! I've been waiting/hoping for this for a while.. Really hoping they say a lil more about James Bernard. James' brother and I are close friends. Really solid people.. REALLY solid people. Their father was big in the civil rights movement in Nashville. Talk about a successful family, I believe now-a-days James is a voting member for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. I haven't picked his brain about his source days.. But I'm certainly bout to send this link to his bro and ask for some thoughts. Real nice work Prez!!
Absolutely no one wanted to hear this guy but u
@@jaysteve4442 I like to hear all angles. Absolutely no one asked you a damn thing.. but a b!tch gonna b!tch apparently.
@@phillipsmith3077 Don’t bother listening to that Clown brotha, he’s just a bitter old Oger.. I personally told Vlad that I’ve been waiting for this Interview for MONTHS now and he said he told me he pushed till early January. So here we are. The full interview is dope!
@@Eric1935 Thanks fam and peace to you my brother. I just don't understand the hate for no reason. If you are a true hip hop head for a while (especially those of us that came up in the 80's and 90's) the Source was our BIBLE. If you love hip-hop, you should at LEAST want to hear this guy, like him or not. Then, small world, I move to NY (from GA), start my acting career and one of my co-stars in a show is best friends and former college roommates at Hampton with James Bernard's brother. That's how the link happened. Can't wait for all the parts to drop.
James Bernard couldn’t hold a candle to Bernard Thomas.... hell to the nawnaw
That dave mays thumbnail reminds me of a guy on a target document that you have to assassinate in the video game series hitman.

Naw don't do Jon B like that

She love to show me off of course, smiles eveytime my face is up on the source
I like shawn prez but whydoes he always ask his questions all slow
but did you get the answers ?
Here we go
Respect
The Sauce is so classic
This guy a hiphop legend for the magazine 💯
Its so hard for him to admit how Ray Bitchino stole his magazine and took his money
Not only did Benzino steal from him but when Dave confronted Zino about it Zino decided to extort and strong-arm him for money!! Dave wasn't ready for it.
@@pheo1418 the sad part is Bitchino did all of that and more plus ruined the whole company spending money like his wack ass was selling records.
He never said exactly "how" Benzino became co-owner of The Source tho..
He said he approached Benzino and asked him to be his partner. There might not be much of a story besides that.
Where the fuck is vlad
Feds needed him for a case
He is currently in protective custody in order to divulge more information about his opps to the feds
Got that 😷 covid pack
he ded
First ppl annoyed by Vlad interviews then they miss him when he disappears...damn Vlad is a genius
Why he remind me off smiley from training day?? 😂😂😂
Street guy 😂😂 c’mon man lol
Shout to DefJeff.."Boss".
Why he look like he's in WITSEC somewhere in Iowa with a disguise on🤣😂
I thought this was the salt Bay dude yo... 🤣🤣🤣
Billy Blanco from the bronx didn't kill carlito
🤣👊👊
Ain’t this the dude from colour me bad?
Why isn’t Vlad doing the interviews?
Was just thinking the Same
Ohhh ishhhh Carlitos way😂🤣😂🤣
😳😳oh shit u right
Look like a damn video game character in the thumbnail
Am I weird for being curious about how he, as a white guy from Harvard, handled being around real gangsters like Benzino and his fam. I mean we know they on some real shit - his fam was bustin at one of their own's funeral. So dude might have been around black people in DC, but it seems like Benzino's crew might have caused a lil bit of a shock to his system. I wonder
Vultures fam vultures. They been around us for decades this ain't new at all. Then they got the nerve to do interviews like this dissing the hand that fed them. When we gonna learn?? We need sum Lord Jamar commentary on this one frfr
extortion
@@JaYPeeDee1025 yup... that popped in my mind fo sho
@@monclerjacket8814 bro Africa bam lead the young to slaughter 2 ..raping kids and much more they used him to do so so he sold out ..don’t praise jamar because he’s another one thats part of the program
Lmao dave is a vulture? He gave the goofy street clown his only real opportunity and made him few million and able to care for his family. And what did benzino do? Not only ruin it for himself but took the whole magazine down. Benzino dude who's never done anything successful for himself is the real vulture
I did not expect that voice to come out of this dude's mouth 💀
Is that Jorge Masvidal?
He WANTED to meet the guys behind Almighty RSO?!
And Benzino destroyed the profitability of that magazine
That was Eminem and interscope
It was definitely some hard times
@@SwagSurf-od3vx Eminem went to rehab and silenced after Benzino
Who waiting for the east vs west cover?
That was Vibe Magazine. Not the Source
That was Vibe magazine
Vlad has Covid 19
I wanted to say this so bad but I don’t like fighting with his Stan’s lol 😂
Got to!
🧛♂️
Benzino gangster’d his way in.
Bruhh tf is this the Shawn Show where Vlad
For those of you who havent seen it, be sure to check out the argument/debate Dave Mays and Royce Da 5'9 have over Eminem.
Link?
he DJ Vlad before DJ Vlad
He’s here to warn us about the matrix!!!
Shawn Prez is a good interviewer. 👍🏾
Nah, he's respectful to let people talk. He's better than Vlad. But this dude is terrible at asking questions while interviewing. Sounds like the sloths from that one pixar movie and asks the longest strange-structured questions.
@@suelbeez9992 Slothman 😂
I think he can finally admit benzino fd up the source a couple yrs ago actually 16 I recall him saying zino had never put out a wack track. Lol
Is this an outake from Carlito's Way?
Benzino a real one.
@BOBBY ILLMATIK how do YOU know he’s not??? Everybody says otherwise, Lox and them…
He had the money that's how
A Real ass piece
Real one what?
@@mac10watp31 instead of worrying about these rappers you should be worrying about the white women Ted Bundy, Meth and Harion mistreated in life
He talked around benzino all the way lol
At a gay bar that is where they met
Probably topped off hella gays is my guess!! 🤔✊🏽💯
Is this Steven Seagal's twin brother
Man this is boring. I hope it picks up soon...
Ok ok ok Vlad we all know U lowkey Eminem N Paul Rosenberg's stooge-boy but you going at Benzino for no reason. And the FACT of the matter remains......Benzino and The Source was a bona fide staple of the Hip Hop community. Benzino has done more for Hip Hop and music overall than U ever could. Just because U have a big platform that doesn't mean U have big legitimacy facts. Yall fools dont deserve to speak on Benzino
Shut the fuck up you loser. You're either Benzino himself, one of his bitches or a long lost child of his.
@@MyGodLikeSpeed The Source helped launch Hip Hop into the number one spot 20 yrs ago and saved the ENTIRE music industry. Know ur facts dummy. You just embarrassed urself Stanley.
How you ask a question and I’m the middle of him answering u stop him and ask another question. Wtf is that?
Ringo nonStarr
Could Benzino even write?
He had the money that's how stop acting slow
He looks like a skinny Anthony Raimondi.
Let's be honest, Vlad is the new source of this generation
Vlad got COVID
I'm thinking the same thing 🤔
He look like he sell blood diamonds on the streets of NY
The gay mafia y’all
Who’s gonna tell him to lay off the just for men. Cmon cuz it’s 2022! Be proud of being old fool. Alot of folks didn’t make it to gray hair
why do you care is the real question lol
this is a lie even coi leray says she had to struggle in hustle to put find on the table 😭😭🤣
If you believe Coi Leray had to struggle and hustle for anything other than someone taking her seriously as an artist you a dumbass lol 😂

So he was or wasn’t benzino manager lol… sounds like those other editors had a real issue. Everybody know once benzino got there it started to suck
This dude has been a clown 🤡 for a long while.
I don't get it: why is everyone afraid of Eminem's shadow? Everyone says beef with Em is why The Source failed, which means it wasn't failing BEFORE that. Everyone preaches "no 1 man should have all that power" but y'all clap it up for Em for bringing down The Source🤔🤔🤔
For me, it wasn't Eminem, but how Benzino became obsessed with dissing him at every opportunity. The Source was a great magazine until Benzino came. All objectivity went out the window....
Wasn’t really Em it was Benzino and the beef with Em. The source became unethical and unreliable when they have Benzino’s album 4 mics.
@@jayagainsthumanity regardless of Benzino, I'm speaking to the ideal in general, it almost became a scarlet letter if anyone said anything bad about Eminem, like never been seen before or since. You could diss Jay-Z and go platinum, but if you diss Eminem you might never be heard from again🤔🤔
@@mg19cal that’s not true I can’t name one person who career died from dissing Em except the Source but that’s more so because of integrity.
