Former Source Editor Kim Osorio Writes Tell All Book

by LYRICALTHOUGHT

MONDAY JULY 21, 2008

Kim Osorio  was the editor-in-cheif during the most tumultous time, in the history of The Source Magazine. Now three years removed, and a lawsuit that saw her win 7.5 million dollars for sexual harassment, gender discrimination, defamation, rataliatory discharge, and maintaining a hostile work environment, Ms. Kim Osorio is back in the media ready to tell it all with her new tell all book titled "Straight From The Source."

After being involved with the source during the period in which the entire magazine almost folded, Osorio will use this book to finally speak on what happened from her point of view. 

“People see women writing memoirs and immediately criticize them for wanting to tell their story. I am a writer first, so telling stories has always been my life, I just decided after everything I had gone through, that it was time to tell my own, especially since others have tried to tell it for me. I figured if people were going to speculate, then I may as well get it out there, and tell it the way it should be told."

The funny part is how Ross keeps denying it, when more and more proof is coming out. I've said this many times, I listen to most rappers just for entertainment purposes. I don't believe 90% of the "street" shit these niggas are rapping about. Either they're flat out lying or exaggerating like saying they sold a brick when it was really like a dime.

They have to put on a a show (put on a alter ego) to sell records. The most convincing niggas get the biggest following. Then when they get exposed, their so called "fans" hop off real quick.

I remember watching a documentary some where and Supreme (drug lord from Queens, NY) saying that most rappers are not who they perceive to be. And that most of them are weak. That stuck with me b/c he knew about this rap shit from the early days of The Furious Five to the Murder Inc days. He was a real gangster, not a rapper talking some shit to sell records. Preme could tell who is who b/c he dealt with real gangsters on a daily basis. It's easy to tell when someone's perpetrating when you've been around real people you're whole life.

The Source used to be my hip-hop bible. In fact, speaking of Boondocks Gangstalicious phonies, that magazine exposed both 50 Cent and Prodigy. I used to be an avid Prodigy fan until I read this one Source article regarding his response to Jay's Summer Jam assault. He gone try to blame Ashanti... fag.

Then, 50's studio thug, Gangstalicious ass, admitted gettin' chased through New York by Irv and co. Fuckin' pussy... they chased'eem out the studio and he's the reason why I even know about it; cause he told it in The Source.

But, the good ol' internet exposed Lil' Wayne as a kisser/tongue tussler/lip lockin' gay ass, gangstalicious studio thug wannabe.

But did 50 ACTUALLY SNITCH??? I mean, making a 'rap record' and shouting out a bunch of cats from the street aint exactly on the same level Frank Lucas, Leroy Barnes and Sammy Gravano now is it. Them niggaz went into COURT and HELPED PIGS LOCK UP OTHER STREET NIGGAZ!!!!

And you can't blame 50 for 'Preme getting locked up neither coz that nigga been getting his ass locked up LONG BEFORE fiddy even released Ghetto Qu'ran.

Maybe we should invite 50 to come 'break it down' to us in the now newly renamed 'Curtis Jackson Park' out in Queens! LOL.

50 Cent walking through South Side Jamaica on his own, kicking it in his park.....

YEAH RITE!!! That will be the day!!! LOL.

wow. hard to believe there was a day where women were forbidden from reading, and all the novels were meant for men. "sensitive ass niggas with low self esteem"? how so? u seem to forget the mofos who can say a complete sentence... the critical thinkers, and the dudes who aint frontin on the streets like they the shit, when they background aint so pretty. niggas like you make it cool for Rick Ross to lie about bein a CO.
