The Source Magazine – January 2002 (OutKast Cover, Issue No. 148, The Power 30 Issue)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

OutKast blanket the cover of the January 2002 issue of The Source (Issue No. 148), the annual Power 30 year-end wrap up that ranks the artists who moved and shook hip-hop across 2001. Big Boi and André 3000 dig into the roots of their Dungeon Family tree, while the issue counts down the Top 10 Artists of 2001 and asks who really deserved a spot on the Power 30 list. Inside, Mobb Deep weigh the pull between the music and the mayhem, and Fat Joe picks up the pieces of the Terror Squad puzzle. A definitive snapshot of where rap stood at the close of 2001, from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
