XXL Magazine – August 2002 (Scarface Cover, Issue No. 39)

A Piece of XXL Magazine History

XXL August 2002, and Scarface owns the cover: Lyricist. Businessman. Legend. The Houston godfather stares out in a Texas jersey, every bit the elder statesman the coverline promises. This is XXL at its early-2000s peak, framing a Southern institution with the respect he'd long earned. Inside: Nelly reigning supreme, Xzibit back in the mix, Nappy Roots, Freeway and a hard look at whether The Eminem Show was already a classic. A sharp snapshot of the summer rap ran the mainstream. Original print magazine in collectible condition.
