Dubcnn Exclusive Kim Osorio Interview (Former Source EIC)

[jonathandubcnn]

Talking to Kim Osorio was a personal highlight for my own journalist side. Yeah, you’ve seen her everywhere lately with her highly publicized, brilliant book Straight from Source. With so much attention focused on the hoopla -- people constantly questioning her about her scandals, rumored celebrity affairs and the sensational drama surrounding her controversial past – I wanted to approach her from a different angle than the thriving tabloid media vultures for this exclusive Dubcnn interview...I wanted to approach her with integrity.

The facts are the facts. Kim Osorio is an author, media assassin and an illustrious journalist from the Bronx who has worked at the highest level of media -- in a corner office -- as former Editor-In-Chief at The Source Magazine.

And while Benzino, 50 Cent and others continue to throw public shots at her, she has them playing right into her strategy as she toys with the ego and pride of famous ones and turns their own most dangerous weapon against themselves: vanity. It would take a nation of millions to hold her back.

Straight up, Kim Osorio deserves respect for her hustle -- after all, she is a real hip-hop head. With other mad rappers, she might have 99 problems, but a bitch ain’t one.

Straight from the Source is one of Kim Osorio’s defining moments of clarity -- her moment of honesty, so the world can feel her truths. Through her hard knock lifetime, her gift and the curse - she gives you chapters after chapters of her work Check out the inspiring Kim Osorio – Straight from the Source.

First of all I would like to say, this was a short interesting interview. Not really any gritty questions, but you kind of get the feel of where she is coming from.

My objection with the questions, is why weren't there any West-Coast related questions....

She was asked questions about Jay-Z and her opinion of Eminem, and how seh feels about NY artists (how she said Fabolous does a good job of staying true)

But every source issue I had purchased back in the days had very limited information/storeis on West Coast...(unless it was Snoop or Dre or Ice cube) but always had something with Eminem/50 Cent/Jay-Z/Benzino etc in every issue.

I mean every second hip-hop quotable was a Jay-Z line.

Them magazines could've helped expose some of the better talent out of the West, apart from the odd 'unsigned hype'

I totally understand they have to deal with whats hot, and we all know WC hasn't been mainstream hot for far too long, but even with South dominating, they always had East-Coast artists all over there mags and articles...

I don't remember reading anything about Hyphy when it was developing, or even before hand when it was developing....or really any critical developings that occured like IE artists, Chicano rap etc

like you could have asked her about her opinion of WC artists, how come the talent wasn't publicised as much, her fav West MC bla bla bla

I mean I like East Coast hip-hop too, but one of the reasons I stopped purchasing that garbage was because of the obvious bias in it.

Don't get me twisted, I respect what you do and have done, this is just some constructive criticism...Just that when you interview a figure such as Kim Osorio, especially since Dubcnn is a West Coast hip-hop site it would be good hear some of these questions thrown in the mix too.
