Who owns xxl magazine

Mixtapes for white people in middle-America — bringing "hidden" music to the forefront? Maybe so. I think more importantly it will establish XXL as one of the top brands in hip-hop and open Middle America's eyes to the magazine. I think the really informed rap fans at this point are buying the book every month but we must know reach the casual fan. The one who maybe bought an issue once or twice when I had Eminem or Outkast on the cover. I'm never gonna lose sight that our bread and butter is the magazine.

The other album or TV projects we now have a show with the MTV Jams network we get involved in our just to utilize other outlets to help the publication grow. Who are your favorite hip-hop artists? Non hip-hop? And who are your musical influences? I think Jay-Z is the best rapper today and will one day be looked as the undisputed greatest of all time. I discovered the Beatles a few years ago when I used to live with my ego trip homie Gabriel Alvarez.

I never believed the hype that they were the best until I really sat with their catalogue. They really were fuckin' phenomenal and the most influential.

I basically learned about other music through hip-hop and its use of sampling. My other ego trip colleague Jeff Mao is a DJ who owns a shitload of records. I remember loving songs in the early 90's like Pharcyde's "Passing Me By" and Mao would play me Quincy Jones "Summertime in the City," the original they lifted the beat from. I'm obsessed with sites like the-breaks. My dream is to one day be rich enough that I can retire and just sit in my little music room and listen to stuff all day. What place or thing would you declare a landmark?
