The Source Magazine – April 2001 (Trick Daddy Cover, The Dirty South Issue, UK Edition)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The April 2001 issue of The Source turns its full attention to the Dirty South, with Trick Daddy on the cover slapping readers out of their American dream. This is the UK newsstand edition, distributed by COMAG with its price sticker over the barcode. Inside, Silkk the Shocker weighs whether he is still down with No Limit or ready to drive his own tank, while Memphis Bleek breaks down banging with Jay-Z and his beef with Nas. The issue digs into West Indians versus African Americans and hip-hop's color complex, with additional coverage of Mystikal, Project Pat, The Neptunes and a Bounce Music 101 primer, all from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
