The Source Magazine – February 1998 (Rakim Cover, Issue No. 101)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The February 1998 issue (Issue No. 101), with Rakim on the cover for a face-to-face with the God, interviewed by a young Canibus at a pivotal moment for the microphone legend. This edition doubles as the '97 Hip-Hop Yearbook, taking stock of a landmark year through The Notorious B.I.G., Master P, The RZA, EPMD, Puff Daddy and Foxy Brown. Also inside: the Power 30 influence peddlers of 1997, Lil' Kim as hip-hop's everywoman, and DJ Premier with his genius unleashed. A late-nineties time capsule from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
