The Source Magazine – February 2006 (Irv Gotti Cover, Issue No. 196)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The February 2006 issue of The Source (Issue No. 196), with Irv Gotti draped in an American flag for a defiant cover story titled The Truth Shall Set You Free. This is the tenth annual Power 30 issue, ranking the most influential figures in hip-hop, and it leads with a look at the life of Stanley Tookie Williams. Inside, Master P prepares for a new battle, The Lox demand their due, Asylum makes major label moves, and the magazine continues its Radio & Payola investigation. A charged mid-2000s issue from the publication that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
