Days after the surprise firing of Hip Hop Magazine XXL editor, Elliot "YN" Wilson, Source magazine co-founders Dave Mays and Benzino dropped their two cents on the situation.

Mays and Benzino, who Wilson once worked with, weren't all too kind to their former coworker.

"Karma is a muthafucka!!!... The little bitch should have been let go years ago if you ask me... When I heard about this I thought it was beautiful...

He (Elliot Wilson) doesn't represent Hip Hop or the culture anyway. XXL and all the editors over there are just a copy cat of The Source and now them, Source and Vibe are feeling the fucking pinch....

Now Yellow Nigga can go get a job sucking fucking Jimmy Iovine since that's what he was doing anyway...G Unit is over and so is Elliot. If I see him in the streets I'ma put a foot in his ass.. I'ma do that for Hip Hop..." Benzino reportedly told MahoganyGirl.com

As far as what Mays had to say--other than plug their upcoming mag aptly titled "MONSTA"..not much.

"It's no coincidence that Elliot's firing comes just a few weeks before the impending launch of MONSTA magazine, which will introduce the world to a new blueprint for the monthly magazine, a more advanced format that delivers exciting, relevant and informative content to the new generation of hip hop fans.

Elliot's firing signals the end to an old-fashioned way of publishing magazines that is no longer viable, which explains why all of the current monthly mags—from XXL to The Source to Vibe—are struggling in continuing to try to operate in a way that doesn't work in the new age of media and of hip hop.

Benzino and I are pioneering a new approach to hip hop magazine publishing which—given the impact of Hip Hop Weekly in just its first year—is already proving itself; we are extremely excited to show the world our new vision when MONSTA magazine debuts on newsstands at the beginning of next month!"
