Idris Elba also known as DJ Driis, has the eye of the tiger on the May issue of The Source. In the issue, which hits newsstands May 2, Idris discusses producing for Jay-Z, his transition from his role on The Wire to his upcoming flick, Thor and more.
Kiam Akasi Holley Snitched!!
Shouts to Bonsu and Combat Jack
Combat Jack and the rest of the team lost with this one. I don’t give a fuck how many party’s he’s DJ’d or tracks he’s produced. Not relevant at all. Jeez-Louise, what are these guys thinking.
yeah true @bjack, thats what u get when u employ a failed lawyer to head ur magazine..leave that shit to the experts like Elliot Wilson and them….How can u put a person of no relevance to the hip-hop game on the cover? Plus combat jack, we all know u a fan of The Wire, but what does that have to do with good rap music..See i know what happened, u got cocky when u stole Funkflex bomb thinking you were invincible and now u think u can force feed us this shit!!
Damn, they couldn’t give Nate Dogg the cover?
Stop it 5, the cover is dope! im feeling this cover! haters going hate
^ “what u get when u employ a failed lawyer to head ur magazine”
Hah. Sounds personal. But I love you too boo.
Hater niggas marry hater bitches and have hater kids The Source is doing they thing, ya cant see the big picture, Idris Elba is playing a god in Thor who is supposed to be white Message (Keenan Ivory Wayans Voice)
The Source wins again
LMAO @ Combat Jack’s “you too boo.” I can’t lie though, that Source cover is SEXY!
I can see why there is hate, cuz Idris isnt a rapper but shit, i thought Hip Hop was bigger than just rap, we love to put ourselves in a box, stop the cycle!
@kaoz
I’m sorry … hold on, Miley Cyrus is on the line.
Why niggas think they can resurrect the magazine game is beyond me. Mags have been dead ever since Nahright took over. Who wants to wait a month to read content thats displayed and posted all over the web at a rapid pace. Even if the magazine content is original, the article will be posted online if its good. What’s the fucking point of a magazine? What’s next? Apple coming out with a refurbished VCR?
@puerto-black: I know right? Would it kill them to show a lil respect to a legend? Disgusting,
@ Ha!
WHERE IS MILEY CYRUS? I WANNA RAPE HER, EAT HER FLESH AND DRINK HER BLOOD SO BAD!
YOU CAN HATE ME NOW!
U see ya man eyes ! dont talk shit or Idris goin smack ya eyes out ya head while u sleeping having a dream about hatin on this cover, shit is cool to me tho, no shade here
A good Village Voice piece >>>> any magazine on newsstands.
@COLD BLOOD
She’s right here, slime!

HIP HOP IS A CULTURE SO THATS WHUP! AND BY THE WAY THAT COVER IS TRASH!
@Mr. 3-Times
You probably fux with frozen yogurt, that’s soft served!
FOH
#HIPHOP
Just prior to placing a mindless rant on a site that does not remove it comments, it helps if you do your research about Idris Elba or anyone else you’re unsure of. Try a website other than Wikipedia…
@UDickhead “I can see why there is hate, cuz Idris isnt a rapper but shit, i thought Hip Hop was bigger than just rap, we love to put ourselves in a box, stop the cycle!”
I agree that Hip Hop is bigger than music. I’m a long time fan of the Source. They even had Martin Lawrence on a cover and I got it then. Here though, not so much. Idris dabbles in music, but his brand isn’t really “Hip Hop”.
@CombatJack: I’m in law school now! A nigga who doesn’t have to practice for a living is a success! Still a lose on the cover though.
A lot of peeps is earning they PHD on these comments, fall back and one yaself #throwbackslang
YN TAUGHT ME…HA!!
@Ha! i cant say ya wack ass name without thinkin Juvenile first single
HAHAHA To all the ppl hating their faces off, remember Hip-Hop is a #LIFESTYLE not just a #musicstyle… SEE how i wrote one in caps? The Source Magazine is up & about schooling everyone in the CULTER of Hip-Hop-nomics not just regurgitated hate and bullshit posts about the gossip behind the artists we love to hate. Nuff said Source Be KILLING IT!
Hate towards The Source is blasphemy!! If u don’t like what u see make the change but until then let the OG’S do there thing. Burrrr
All you Niggas that used the word “Hate”, fuck you. Niggas can’t have opinions? I “hate” all you niggas. lol
@PrincessNPink: This is a man’s sport. Shut up and go cook.
damn I thought Em bodied this magazine and the whole staff. HA!
SHADY 2011!!! beware of the FAKE Black Shady using my name talkin all the canada shit and suckin and tryna be funny. Make me famous bitch! HA!
fuckin’ ODD! I respect Idris but he has no to limited role in hip hop culture. This is a fuckign bizare move. Terrible cover. Jessie J, too? Honestl,y what a fucking joke! pathetic. Just pathetic
Lol. Lmfao. Limited role? He’s a fucking dj. Hr produced for a legend. That’s limited? All these 106 n park freestyles and niggas putting they basement recorded shit on everything has to be past ‘limited’ then.
@bjack…a mans sport? Lol. Can’t even justify that with a response.
when did this nigga become a Dj???…like really i never heard of him..FAIL
Me and my girl going on vacation…Travelocity giving away $1000 Giftcards for anywhere in US..just for giving them your email..haha..My whole fam got 1 http://goo.gl/8IQWl

Nobody gives a fuck
About the same time most of you became spammers and virus spreading idiots. Go on vacation.
He looks like an X-Man on that joint..
@blackjack “This is a man’s sport. Shut up and go cook”
Ya mama!
What position do you play scrub? Ole Ryan Leaf ass…

@MJB
Cute. You mad? lol
I HAVEN’T PICKED UP A SOURCE VIBE OR XXL MAG IN YEARS ALWAYS THE SAME BULLSHIT NOT EVEN WORTH MY MONEY AND STOP ACTING LIKE THE RAPPERS YOU ARE INTERVIEWING SOUND THAT INTELLIGENT
“FUCK THE SOURCE IM ON THE COVER OF ROLLINGSTONE” – 50
Dope cover and Idris is da man. How can ppl say he’s not hip hop when he is a hip hop dj? He produced and was featured on Jiggas A.G. Album. There’s alot of ppl involved in hip hop and they keep a low key position. Y’all remember Biggs from Rocafella records right?
