The Source Magazine - April 2003 (Cam’ron & Diplomats Cover, Oh Boy! Here Comes Trouble)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The April 2003 issue (Issue No. 163), with Cam'ron and The Diplomats on the cover under the banner Oh Boy, Here Comes Trouble, catching Harlem's loudest crew at the top of its game. The cover story asks whether payola and politics in radio are killing hip-hop, while Snoop Dogg checks in as the West Coast boss and Lil' Kim snatches her crown back. Also inside: 50 Cent talking greasy, plus Ludacris, Jaheim, Luke and Rap-A-Lot's J. Prince. A sharp document of hip-hop in the spring of 2003 from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
