Po nedávnych MTV Video Music Awards, tu tentokrát máme nominácie na prestížne ocenenie magazínu The Source. Myslím že vzhľadom na to, že The Source je asi najznámejší hip-hopový mag na svete netreba pripomínať, že na rozdiel od cien MTV pôjde tentokrát o čisto
hip-hopovú (resp. R&B) záležitosť.
Tu sú nominácie, o výsledkoch budeme samozrejme informovať.
