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."
