But then again, what must US Weekly & People think about their readers. But...is this post right/wrong about the individuals who buy that mess? Are they petty and gullible? Is there a difference b/t a 14 year old who buys the Source (I thought it folded) or a 34 year old who reads it? Is it maturity?? Call me elitist, but I think there are some who love the rap game as opposed to some who love hip hop. For example, I've definitely noticed there are mutually exclusive subsets who read Source, Vibe, XXL & those who read Fader, URB, Scratch.
