In the midst of a verbal war, The Source managed to catch up with the broad street bully himself, Beanie Sigel. In the mix of prepping for a show in Baltimore, the man of the hour decided to clear the air and set the record straight. Watch for the hook.

I caught up with the legend that is Elliott Wilson at the Rap Radar Offices In New York City.

As I said to Elliott right off the bat, I am a fan first. I have been picking up his magazines for years and he’s a fantastic writer.

This is one of the perks of running a site like mine, you get to meet people you respect and learn more about Hip Hop.

In the first part of the interview, Elliott tells me how he got into Hip Hop Journalism, what he hopes to achieve with his new site Rap Radar, what keeps him motivated to come back and how he came up with the moniker ’YN’.

In the second part of the interview, I speak to Elliott about responsible journalism in light of the DJ Vlad/Joe Budden/Ransom situation.

The conversation slowly moved onto Kanye and his comment about Rihanna being the best thing to happen to Beyonce.

And finally, Elliott gives upcoming journalists/bloggers some advice.

Last week, I had the honour of sitting down with Elliott Wilson for an interview at the Rap Radar offices in New York.

After an interesting interview, he had a message for the site.

If you are wondering about the Kanye reference. Remember at a UK album listening party, Kanye said ‘Rihanna was the best thing to happen to Beyonce’? Well I was the first to blog about it and it was picked up by various outlets including theybf (which Kanye visits himself).

Kanye saw it there, took a screen shot of it and on his own blog, blasted Natasha saying that some of UK media twisted what he was saying etc etc.

Anyway, this Elliott Wilson interview is pretty cool and is coming very soon.
