Who really holds the power in Hip-Hop?

In support of The Source Magazine’s 16th annual POWER 30 issue, Owner/Publisher Londell McMillan will make an appearance on  Power 105.1′s The Breakfast Club. In the interview with DJ Envy, Angela Yee and Charlamagne Tha God, which will air today,  Londell discusses everything in this year’s issue, including the controversial rankings of Power 30 individuals, the Digital 30 and the top Radio DJs.

“We put a lot of credibility back into it. You can’t buy your way into it. You can’t hustle your way into it. You can’t strong-arm your way into it. You have to earn it,” says Londell when speaking about the Power 30.

Outside  of being at the forefront of The Source and Jones Magazine, the Brooklyn native is also a partner at the law firm of Meister Seelig & Fein LLP, specializes in the law of business and commercial transactions, litigation, communications, entertainment, intellectual property, and government affairs.  Over the years, he has represented icons such as Michael Jackson, Prince, Stevie Wonder, Roberta Flack, L.L. Cool J, Spike Lee, and many others.

With an extensive history in the industry, Londell support for the culture of Hip-Hop has been unwavering.

The 16th Annual Power 30 Issue of The Source Magazine is upon us, and this year, some very special people are involved. The Power 30 is Hip-Hop’s most important heat check. It lets you know who really matters, and who’s really moving and shaking in the industry, be it on the television screen or behind the scenes. Who took the top spot in Hip-Hop’s most talked about and authoritative list? Would it be the perennial hip-hop champion Diddy? Maybe the top spot belongs to Young Money/Cash Money rap pioneer Baby, or DONDA, G.O.O.D. Music and Def Jam extraordinaire Kanye West? Let’s not forget about Jay Z, who started his own marquee sports agency and went platinum prior to his album hitting the shelves. With the landscape of Hip-Hop and Hip-Hop media ever changing, the Power 30 has evolved with it. The Digital and Radio Power 30 lists are equally as important, with bloggers and radio DJs having an ever bigger stake in the game than ever. From WSHH to Power 105.1 & Hot 97, we made sure no stone was left un-turned as we ranked the movers and shakers of our culture. The 30 biggest, most important, and most influential figures in Hip-Hop in 2013 can be found in The Source’s Power 30 issue.
