Ray Benzino & The Source act as ONE, Benzino has ZERO skill

To:  The Source Magazine

By signing this petition you are agreeing that Ray 'The 5 Mic Giver' Benzino is the worst rapper ever hold the mic. You agree that The Source Magazine is nothing but a tool for Ray Benzino and David Mays to promote their weak projects (RSO, Made Men, Ray-Ray). You also agree to no longer purchase/read The Source Magazine due to their latest stunts lacing the magazine with Benzino propaganda (Poster, The Last Word, Hip-Hop Quotable, 4 page promotion & article). You also sign and agree that the 5-Mic rating holds absolutely no credibility.

The Source editor Gotti says "Benzino and The Source are not interchangeable. The Source has always made it a point to keep Benzino's music career and the magazine business from interfering with each other."

Here is a comprehensive list of how The Source and Benzino's career are one in the same:

1994 - David Mays goes behind the back of the Source editors and inserts a three-page story on The Almighty RSO.

1999 - Made Men's video, "Just You and I" receives Source Award nomination for Video Of The Year. The rarely seen video is competing against, Busta Rhymes & Janet Jackson "What's It Gonna Be."

1999 - Selwyn Hinds, former editor-in chief of The Source resigns after David Mays changed the mic rating of Made Men's debut album from a 3.5 to a 4.5 mic rating.

1999 - Made Men receives Hip-Hop Quotable of the Month, and a position in both the Singles File and the Heavy Rotation.

2000 - The Source Presents: Hip Hop Hits, Vol. 4 includes Holla Back (Holla Boston) by Benzino.

2000 - Virtually unknown, Benzino performs at The Source Awards in Miami.

2000 - David Mays is interview by Detail magazine. In this article he is quoted for celebrating the departure of his former editors and business partners.

2001 - The Source Hip Hop Hits Vol. 5 includes Bang Ta Dis by Benzino.
