Album review controversy
The Source 's review of Classic Limited Edition caused a controversy.[ 4] [ 5] The magazine, at the time controlled by the owner's friend and a member of the Made Men rapper Benzino , gave Classic Limited Edition four-and-a-half out of five "mics" rating. The reviewer was later revealed to be fictitious.[ 4] Benzino also demanded from Selwyn Seyfu Hinds , then editor-in-chief of The Source , to publish a cover story dedicated to the Made Men. After a heated argument, Hinds refused to publish it and subsequently resigned.[ 6]
