    XXL!

  • Belize

    Rick Ross man of the year? Nah, this was Em’s year. Maybe Kanye’s or Jay’s.
    Rookie of the year? Wiz? Even I admit Aubrey was more relevant. Or what’s wrong with J.Cole?

  • SwallowMyNutz!

    Cosign Belize!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • DIGGSY!!!

    that zig zag chain is clean

  • mac DIESEL

    ROSS MAN OF THE YEAR???? HA!!!! AIN’T THIS THE SAME MAGAZINE THAT GAVE BUN B 5 MICS??? FUCK OUTTA HERE!!!! I’M SURPRISED THE “SAUCE” IS STILL IN BUSINESS!!!! THEY’RE SO FUCKIN’ IRRELEVANT!!!!

    DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!

  • Buxdagreat

    smh @ the source…..hell da hell is rick ross out of all ppl is the man of the year…no eminem no kanye no wayneor even drake…..smh maybe dey couldnt be contacted for the cover shoot….im fine widd wiz being the rookie of the year..hes making alot of noise on the underground scene..widd tha kush n oj mixtape ..n that black n yellow track everyone in dey mother is hopping on

  • Buxdagreat

    hell nicki minaj had a way better year dan dat clown

  • Big Chump

    Looks like “The Source” still has beef with eminem i see from 02-03 lmfao jk…. Congrats to ross and wiz

  • damn y yall cry so much on this site? congrats to both men for havin a great yr so far — much success

  • BRIX

    Does anybody actually pay for and “read” The Source anymore? Outside of happening to pick it up while waiting at the checkout line, who takes this mag seriously anymore? No shots at Ross and Wiz, but it really has become a shitty mag with no direction and no relevance….and this is coming from a former reader of it!!

    Damn you Benzino, you whack fuck, you!! You and your suck ass m

    Just had to vent that RR…please continue…

  • On the reals

    Ross’ album was cold and Wiz was everywhere this year with no real album to his name. Props to both. Em and Kanye cant win them all, even though both of thier albums are dope too.

  • Cola (EVERY HOODs A&R)

    Man of the year should of went to Lloyd Banks. Rookie of the year to Jay Electronica. (but who am I?)

  • SHADY

    ROFL @ “man of the year”
    he has 3 good songs in his album….the rest were radio garbage. how the fuck is that making it to the year!??
    Whiz is “alright” he’s not anything to get hyped about…
    if he drops a new track I wont bother to check it out.

    FUCK THE SAUCE!

  • Bangers N Mash

    I agree with rookie of the year… congrats to Wiz.

    But Rick Lawse? Nah, something ain’t right with that one.

  • what makes u say llyod banks and jay electronica for ur picks ?

  • D

    I think J. Cole is the rookie of the year. No disrespect to Wiz, but he’s been in the game for a couple of years already.

  • Cola (EVERY HOODs A&R)

    @assasin9 Banks has been written off since being dropped from Interscope, no one though G-Unit had any relevance left. He has delivered a hot album. Jay Electronica for finally getting signed! lol

  • I agree with u on the wiz comment, even though I am a big wiz fan — I don’t like how magazines and media put artists as new comers and put them in new comer categories for awards just because they are now getting national exposure — Wiz been grinding for way more than a yr, people are just now noticing him on a wide scale.

  • Cola (EVERY HOODs A&R)

    @D J.Cole and Rick Ross both had their own covers on The Source earlier this year!

  • nujerz

    Expected picks though a bit confusing considering The Source gave Teflon Don 3.5 mics compared to 4 Mics for Em and Drake’s album who both had bigger years imo…(though i think Drake Sucks).

  • @Cola – the award is called man of the year, not man of the last 2 1/2 months — he had the beamer benz and Bentley joint, but then waited like 4 months to follow up with anything — maybe if he started the blue friday stuff earlier, but as far as body of work for the yr I wouldn’t have considered banks

  • JD

    ross did good this year but not the man of the year,that would “kanye west”
    and rookie would be prob wiz
    but i think wiz should have stayed underground
    he lost his touch since then and now hes really pop/wack

  • Mr.G

    Ross look at these cry baby’s hate! keep givin it to em! pun intended! just cause white america went out and bought a shit load of em cd’s doesnt mean he was the man of the yr! and just because ya’ll dickride him so much doesnt mean he should take man of the yr! Ross through out all the hate and all the bashin still managed to put out a classic LP and great music for 2010!

  • cvz1

    j cole has to be rookie of the year, and im from pittsburgh

  • I hate rick ross, i never understood how some ppl hate. But i have so much hatred for dat nigga, i don’t even know why. Im never been da hater type either.

  • jacob

    magazines are irrelevent altogether! filled with trash by some overpaid journo telling you what to like/think fuck off

  • not fucking around

    i still CANT BELIVE how many ppl be on ross’s dick!!! its just wild i mean who has his album its not gold, his last album aint gold, his singles aint gold, BeamerBenzOrBently charted higher and sold more then bmf, how is ross relevant? i can think of ten other rappers more deserving then him, he dont deserve this honor just like he dont deserve to be in mtv top ten hottest

  • haters are annoying

    i like rick but wtf gtfo source, it should have been drake or eminem..cole or nicki should have been the rookie i dont get what thebig hype about wiz is *kanye shrug*

  • JERZZZ

    This niggas Hip Hops man of the year? Hahaha you fuckin crazy. This fat fraud nigga might be gettin Man of The Year at the Policemans Ball, But not Hip Hop. Fuck Outta Here With That Bullshit.

  • sight

    NAME A BIGGER RECORD THAN BMF THIS YEAR………EXACTLY, SO STFU.
    I personally cant stand ross’ character, and the lies, but even worse is the everyones denial that he makes great records
    who was better this year? jay z, kanye, nas, fab, t.i? weezy? i know nobody here is gonna say drake, so who?

    as for wiz khalifa:
    “ol’ its the first of the moooonth….bone thug lookin boy”

  • COP

    @sight
    waka flocka had a better year then ross bro?
    half the songs on his album were hits?
    but i dont like either just saying.

  • JD

    @cop agree
    “Hard In The Paint”
    “No Hands”
    “Oh Lets Do It”
    were all bigger then BMF

  • Iceman

    wiz look funny in a suit LOL

  • the biggest joke of all is that rapradar is covering this story.

  • pissed

    They bith need to holler at Kanye & learn how to rock a suit right LOL. Now a huge fan but its a good look for Wiz but fukk a Rick Ross.

  • D

    Ross is a douchebag. A fat lying prick, on top of everything he was a cop and lied about it to his fans.

    But,… he really made some good music this year.

  • Randall Tyree // Content Editor

    Now this is a a cover I can RESPECT! Shoutout to Source mag for seeing what hip-hop is, not that Waka Flocka bullshi!t!

  • slim shady gonna get 5 grammys this year

    suck it benzinho

  • @sight

    bigger record than BMF?…

    LOVE THE WAY YOU LIE

    GO BACK TO CLASS AND FALL ASLEEP, LESSON OVER!

  • Big Chump

    @jewpac ^^^^^ he might get more, negro dominated everything in 2010

  • @bigchump

    u know its over when honkeys swiping soultrain awards

  • all im saying is, i only heard ONE rr record on the radio and that was a shitty feature on rude boy,

    shit they JUST started playing that waka “hands” garbage on west coast radio.

    im just sayin if it wasnt personal for the source shit would be different.

    honestly tho REAL TALK
    it goes to jigga for landing on the best sellers list

    cheers to uncle J!

  • Yeah i amit bmf was fire! That shit got me more in a good mood than hard in the paint! Next year for the people who dislike rozay i doubt we will even be menting his name next year. Basically mag and blogsite love rozay cause he bring up discussing! I anit never seen a bigger fake then him in music period. I enjoy his music but he piss me off on that drug lord shit the cartel fuck with snitches. That why jeezy need to leave def jam and become independent to put him on blast and let the best man win.

  • powww

    I luv how ‘well respected’ hip hop magazines such as the Source overrate rappers…..J Cole should be da rookie of da yr not Wiz even though I think he good, n man of da year should go to either Em or Jay….actually fuk it…Jay n J Cole should have been on this cover…

  • 1234

    officer ricky man of the year? you gotta be kidding me. teflon don had 3 good songs, amm, bmf, and mc hammer. otherwise that cd was a piece of shit.

  • Wiz look more gangster than rick ross! When did gangster start wearing suits the proper way? It dont look right unless you a business like hov.

  • iHATEhaters

    HAHAHA YEA OK THE SOURCE “RICK ROSS IS MAN OF THE YEAR” FUCK OUTTA HERE . . I THOUGHT THIS MAGAZINE STOPPED YEARS AGO . . AND WHO IS THE OTHER CHAP BESIDE HIM ? ? ? ?

  • People still read magazines?

  • jaybee32

    faggot of the year cop.

  • NotoriousRambo.

    LIKE 50 CENT SAID ABOUT 7 YEARS AGO

    “FUCK THE SOURCE IM ON THE COVER OF ROLLING STONE”

  • Truest

    Man of the year? what kind of man has a hissy fit and walks out of an award show cause he didn’t win?

  • TeNe

    Wiz is not a rookie. He’s already put out two albums. His buzz is now high as anybody’s, but IMO you can’t ignore the fact that he’s’ put out two for sale products and neither sold well. He’s really got a head start on other artists who are true rookies and haven’t released any albums yet. What did Wiz really do this year that somebody like J Cole didn’t do? I hate Nicki Minaj, but I’d put her for rookie of the year over Wiz.

  • stop it

    THE SOURCE IS TRASH POST MADE MEN “CLE” 4.5 mic rating. Anything before that article is legit and anything after that is straight garbage.

    Rick Ross “BMF” better than Jay-Z’s “New York” “DOA” gtfoh.

    How can Wiz Khalifa be rookie of the year when the nigga had videos out years and ago and a major deal?

    Jay-Z Man of the Year!
    B.O.B. Rookie of the Year!

  • TEAM WORLD

    Umm Rick Ross as Man of the year???? Hell No that need to go to Eminem or Jay z and the Rookie of the year Wiz Whatever i am ok with but i really wanted J cole…..

  • Donn

    Lol the comments are entertaining, everyone states their opinion but it doesn’t change the cover, takes any bread from their pockets, i don’t see the point in just spewing hate speeches. Nothings gonna change by typing a few a words on a keyboard. I personally didn’t start listening to Wiz till after he got signed. I didn’t like his music personally. Now i have maybe 5 cuts in my pod. And Ross has always been consistent. Kanye started his run in August when POWER came out. Thats 4 MONTHS. That’s not a year. Eminem is always on top, ALWAYS, it gets annoying after a while. We all know Eminem is the best rapper out, we all know this, every verse i hear from him i know he is gonna kill it but that doesn’t mean he should grace every billboard, every mag cover, get every award he’s nominated for. There are alot of other rappers out here too. Just let the men shine, u don’t like em’, skip the post and comment on something u DO like.

    CONGRATS WIZ & ROSS

  • TEAM WORLD

    @Donn shut the FUCK UP WITH THIS LONG ASS COMMENT

  • truth hurts

    PUFF IS CASHING OUT I KNOW THIS IS ALL HIM
    KING COMBS GETS IT IN NIGGAZ HATE ON EM ON THESE
    BLOG COMMENTS JUST HAD TO THROW THAT IN THERE
    THATS A GOOD LOOK FOR WIZ SON

  • Word

    Em, Kanye, or even Drake as Man of the Year.

    Cole or Nicki as Rookie of the Year. Wiz cool though, Black n Yellow my shit even though im a Ravens fan. Fuck the Steelers.

  • JaeSays

    @donn what happened to you leaving only short comments from now on? STFU

    And idk real hip hop heads like Wiz. He makes so catchy songs like Black and Yellow but the dude is very far from lyrical and thats the the truth

  • Wayne

    Who ever created this cover is exactly what is wrong with Hip-Hop. And i thought Em killed the source anyway??

    @Donn. Not to come at your anything but basically u agree with the consensus of the comments but then u give congrats to Ross n Wiz. Thats like saying ohh ya i really dont like that politician, but im glad they won something. Of course its not that extreme but those are bold statements. MAN OF THE YEAR and ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. Those “awards” or whatever you want to call them are completely delegitimized by labeling two unworthy rappers. When someone worthy does get labeled something by The Source no one will give a shit because they’re so out of touch over there.

    I just get mad when people talk shit about the state of hip-hop when those same people believe this mag cover.

  • That Dude RAY

    *****NEWS FLASH*******
    BENZINO IS NO LONGER AND HASNT RAN THE SOURCE FOR A VERY LONG TIME

    Wiz got that fire and an overall sold year ….. J.Cole dropped a project real late.
    Rick Ross gets an overrated nod yess but Teflon Don was overall solid project. Reading XXL really I guess yall loved the cover of 50 cent and his jailbird looking bf Soulja boy. Please you young asss bloggers live to comment on Rap Radar everyday get over yourselves yall wouldnt know hip hop if it smacked you in the face.

  • Donn

    No one has shit nice to say about me anyway, so i’m just about use to that part but i agree, MAN OF THE YEAR and ROOKIE OF THE YEAR are big statements but here’s a question, if they put anybody in those spots would the response be the same? Exactly. No matter who they give the title to, ppl are gonna bitch

    #kanyeShrug

  • Hardknock Radio

    Ya’ll photoshopped tha shit outta Rick Ross’ gut huh? He thinks he’s Big Meech, Larry Hoover and Mr. T???

  • That Dude RAY

    Benzino doesn’t run the Source nor has he in quite some time. He has 0 affiliation from what I heard. XXL put 50 and Soulja boy in some gay ass jailbird shit and yall loved it please.. Yall prob the same people that listen to Lil B and Soulja Boy Swag shit. Just understand you guys comment on blogs popping off about you opinion please! Yall keep worrying about blogs R.I.P Hip Hop

  • LOL. this is just sad.

    Wiz looks like a god damn fool.

  • @That dude ray You are a lame for saying that shit! Who made you the voice of what hip hop is? @Donn Dam bruh can you untuck your dick between your legs! And Stop bringing up shit you dont agree with but agree with anyway. Your arguement are useless em stan! Smfh

  • Wayne

    @ Donn. Yaa you got a good point. People are always going to bitch n disagree no matter what the title is or who it is. I try to hate as little as possible, but i’l admit when it comes to Ross I am quick to complain. Plus when there are so many good up and coming rappers and you go and pick Wiz. The dude whos biggest song got completely destroyed by every other rapper, but the original artist.

    @That Dude Ray. My stan comment was just a joke to poke fun at how no one really puts much stock into the source. Literally. Even though they consider themselves “The Source, the Bible of Hip-Hop Music, Culture & Politics.” Now Thats a joke.

  • DMVRaised

    Yall hating on Ricky Rozay, I understand he lied bout da C.O. shit, but honestly who gives a fuck. BMF was the fucking rap single of the year. He’s barely gold right? BMF has like over 2 million in itunes download…people paying for BMF, when u can download the Albert Anastacia EP for free and get the track on there to.

  • Word

    @Donn

    People dont got nuffin nice to say bout you because your bitch made. And you contradict yourself, one minute you a saint next minute its fuck you haters, one minute you straight next minute you gay, one minute you say fuck rapping about guns nd money all the time then you cosign rick ross who has a song called blowing money fast, one minute you say your gonna stop commenting next minute its another post, one minute you say stick to the topic of the post next minute you saying black eyed peas album in stores soon on a Wu/Block post, one minute you say sales dont matter when janelle monae flopped but now sales matter cuz your favorite artist kanye and nicki bout to go gold. You a ass backwards nigga, its opposite day everyday for you. You ALWAYS complain before you even make a damn comment, you claim blog post dont matter to you but you keep coming back and arguing every single day. And then you think you better than everyone else just cuz you like pop music, I could go on and on and on and take up the whole page but thatd be kinda weird on my part. But thats just what I noticed.

  • Donn

    ^Your already weird, writing that long as paragraph all about me, i feel special. You should go head and type the rest, u sound like ur venting. When al i am to you is an IP Address on a blog website lol. Its obvious idc what you say and will be commenting again tomorrow. But i will agree with you, i do contradict myself but my question to you is…..who doesnt lol
    We are all hypocrits, every single living human being.

    god bless u Word, no really, i’ma pray for u cus u have alot of anger in ur heart.

    peace god

  • Word

    @Donn

    How can you pray for me? Like you said, aint I just an IP address? Now I feel special. SMH.

  • WTF??

    I LIKE WIZ. BUT J.COLE DEFINITELY SHOULD BE THE ROOKIE OF THE YEAR. HE’S BEEN EVERYWHERE AND HIS NEW MIXTAPE IS GREAT.

    ROSS MAN OF THE YEAR? IDK, IM FROM MIAMI AND I THINK HE’S DOPE. BUT DRAKE, KANYE, EM, SHIT EVEN N.MINAJ CAME HARDER THIS YEAR.

  • Willie_mcfly22

    XXL all day…Good for Wiz tho

  • Jax

    I don’t get these two picks. Ross over Drake? No way in the world. And Wiz is not new. I don’t see why Nicki Minaj wouldn’t be in the rookie spot. Or even J. Cole. J Cole pretty much had two hit singles this year if you add what he contributed to Miguel’s single. So I’d even go with him before Wiz.
