  • 80sbaby

    Whoever did these covers needs they ass burnt 4real they pick the right ppl but damn WTF, Nas is still fine tho god I love him, They did LL so dirty.

  • http://www.gravatar.com The Caps Lock button should be banned…or used appropriately. (Re’s B-day in 18 days)

    Something is seriously wrong with LL. He has some kind of obsession with those lips…get some chapstick.

    (and oxygen while you’re at it).

  • so much to say (always late to the game…oh well…

    LOL @ Just Sayin

    Both of the covers look a mess. 20th Anniversary? They could’ve done better than that.

    Nas’ bottom lip is kind of pink, too. Like Cassie’s purse.

  • MR FLORIDA

    @ Encyclopedia Brown : explain. what do you mean?

  • http://youtube.com/fifitrooper The( Delicious ♥ ) Ms. Sugar Walls

    I admit

    LL need some facial hair BAD!

    LL, it will not make u look bad..It will make u look great! I can’t believe a 39 yr old wouldn’t have any facial hair..U would look so much sexier..It is nothing wrong with Facial hair..Baby please grow it..

  • Blacksmith

    Those aren’t the best pics of either one of them. Blame the photographer. LL and Nas don’t know what the final pic will look like unitl it’s printed. The photoshop guy was clearly smokin at work or he just finished a 2-pc. and a buscuit!

  • Just Sayin

    Da Source?

    Da Source for what? greased up grills.

    Gay lookin rappers… LL looks like he been under da knife? Not to mention a set of man nutz. He must be datin Neo.

    @ Tha cyber-Fam…

    Hey Ya’ll!!! ;)

  • MR FLORIDA

    @Encyclopedia Brown: aw man! i thought you was talkin bout something serious! i was lost! lol. dont hate on my state.

  • elle

    I sure wish James Todd would grow some facial hair. *smh* I hate when men shave all their facial hair in an attempt to look younger. You’re getting older. Embrace it.

    Nice covers though. They definitely deserve it.

  • Encyclopedia Brown

    I love South Beach bra, but some other cat pointed it out that it looks like a T Rex arm, and so I just thought I’d bring it to your attention. You should consider switching it to Luke

    I want a beef polish boy….wit extra sauce….

  • cutie pie

    I actually think the state of Florida is shaped like a penis

  • sara

    Nas is so so handsome, but a tip for the next photoshoot…for both gys try not to piss the photographer of. The photographer is evil, and whoever signed the photos off must be sacked pronto. also why do their lips look like been sucking some cheap ice lolly with plenty of addictives to boot. Nas u r FINE though

  • sara

    *both guys

  • cutie pie

    love me some LL and all but damn! he lookin a little too vulnerable in this shot..why are his lips so damn pink??

  • cutie pie

    The Source must have hired someone off of a craigslist ad because the photohop is looking very discount status.

  • cutie pie

    @ Sparkle

    I don’t think he is the photographer of the cover he might have a spread in the magazine unless you know for sure he did the cover..plus he may have did the shot but not the touch-ups

  • bree..is ready for her vacay

    ewwwww…i don’t like either cover..Nas looks chunky!

  • Sparkle

    @cutie pie

    As far as I know Spike did the covers and the pics of the 4 featured artists inside the mag.

    These are of bad quality. There are higher quality pics on the net of the covers and they don’t look this.

  • chocodelite

    LMAO@ Just Sayin

  • Just Sayin

    Nas got dat, “Wekum Ta McDie-olds.. May I Hep u” look. Like he at a drive through or sumpin.

    :-)

  • cutie pie

    and in closing((clears throat)) to further prove that The Source is ran by idiots, they spelled Vogue wrong on their damn cover.

    Note: You can spot this dumb ass mistake above Nas’s ear in which it reads Vouge Italia..smdh

  • justaddhotmilk aka phoenix_simone_xoxo (7 months til my marathon)

    Hey fellow Libra Ms. Cutie Pie. Nasir looking good as usual. LL, I’m feeling some type of wat about the nose job and the other plastic surgery he has had. That is definitely NOT THE BUSINESS!!!

  • Epitome Of Effortless Beauty

    WTH?! LL has been looking really sus lately…

  • http://www.google.com Man, I just don’t care

    **Memo to LL Cool J**

    Goldberg and Schultz publicist firm ran a survey and the results reveal people have expressed a considerable dissatification with your face as a whole.

    The firm would like to issue two recommendations:

    1. Cease Liking Lips- this has been exageratted too greatly on your part is beginning to be associated with homosexual activity

    2. Grow Facial Hair- this could divert attention from all plastic surgeries conducted

    “1 week till Khias album drops! I cant wait!”

    yeah, you’re the only one.

  • anonymous

    “1 week till Khias album drops! I cant wait!!”

    —————————————————

    don’t you mean ’1 week until khia’s album FLOPS?’

  • Marc

    Spike Lee shot these covers. Queen Latifah and Ice Cube are featured on 2 more cover designs.

  • kenya

    don’t you mean ‘1 week until khia’s album FLOPS?’

    lmao EXACTLY this broad has one fan…or is it her skanky ass incognito?

  • I’m Just Me (STILL FLOATING ON CLOUD 69)

    Why does LL have so much daxn make-up and lipstick on. That is not a good look.

    BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

    to the Source…it sux!!

  • I’m Just Me (STILL FLOATING ON CLOUD 69)

    I though Khia’s album dropped in July…WTF happened to that?

  • Vinandi ( stanning for Khia since 2003!- Nasty Musik dropping 18 August 2008!)

    @ Kenya

    @ I’m just me

    Stop hating on my Queen! I am not her alias either! just a genuine fan of her straight talking ways!

    Plus I live in the UK- and all I know is Nasty Musik drops next week! Woo Hoo!!!!!!!!

  • subterfuge

    Magazine photographers are absolutely HORRID these days! The pictures are either photoshopped to death (looking damn near like animation) or the subjects look greasy.

    This era of photographers rely way to heavily on computers and have no real skill.

    With all of the new emerging technology how in the hell are pictures getting WORSE every year?

  • I’m Just Me (STILL FLOATING ON CLOUD 69)

    @ Vinandi

    WTF are you talking about??? All year long they were saying Nasti Muzik dropped July 22nd. EVEN KHIA SAID THAT ON HER BLOG SEVERAL TIMES. Being that we are past 7/22 I simply just asked if what happened to it coming out in July…which yu didn’t answer anyway. A true STAN would know why it was held up or that it was held up in the first place. How am I hating? Maybe in the UK you don’t know how to use the word correctly, but asking a question is not hating. It matters not, you support her and buy the only 3 albums she will sell. I am not purchasing it anyway.

  • http://yahoo Sandy

    Damn I love NAS. I just had an orgasm.

  • Shay

    LL is married. He has been with same woman since forever. Granted that doesn’t mean he hasn’t cheated on her and it doesn’t mean he’s not gay but he’s married. Any man selling bedazzled clothing at Sears has some issues.

    Okay Spike Lee took the pictures. Just cause he can direct don’t mean he is good at photography.
