Photo: Source Magazine Names Rick Ross “Man of the Year,” Big Sean Earns Himself “Rookie of the Year” Award

After Drake was featured on their last issue, Source Magazine decided to give props to easily the most successful artist this year, Rick Ross, by naming him their Man of the Year (Seriously, find me a better magazine cover than this. I dare you. Rick Ross is the only dude on planet earth that can look dope with a Big Bird fur coat on his back).

From Source:

In his first detailed magazine interview since his shocking seizures, Man of the Year Rick Ross opens up about his near fatal experience. “I went and seen an actual neurologist to tell me what was really going on. My condition was basically extreme exhaustion,” says the boss, “…it was a real eye-opener for me.”

That’s work of a real boss.

As for G.O.O.D. Music’ artist Big Sean, he was named Rookie of the Year and opened up in the magazine about his success, beef with other rappers (Ludacris), and a sexual harassment suit that was against him earlier in the year. Peep his first major cover after the jump.
