The Source Magazine – December 2000 (Eve Cover, Issue No. 135, The Sex Issue)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The December 2000 issue of The Source (Issue No. 135) puts Eve front and center for the magazine's celebrated Sex Issue, with the Ryde or Die first lady holding down a cover built around desire, power, and the women reshaping hip-hop. Inside, Snoop Dogg opens up as family and friends reflect on the life of the O.G., while Sticky Fingaz takes readers through a hands-on experience and OutKast face the big question of whether Stankonia stinks or stands as another five-mic classic. The issue rounds out its coverage with the Unsigned Hype tour, a Wu-Tang video banger, and a holiday buying guide for the season. It captures a turn-of-the-millennium moment when the culture was as bold and provocative as ever, preserved in the pages of the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
