The Source Magazine – January/February 2005 (Ludacris & DTP Cover, The 9th Annual Power 30 Issue, No. 184)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The January/February 2005 issue of The Source (Issue No. 184) is the magazine's 9th Annual Power 30 Issue, its who's who of hip-hop music, fashion and style, led by a cover on Ludacris and DTP blowing up the spot and hitting their own jackpot. An exclusive Ron Artest interview digs into when keeping it real goes wrong, T.I. holds court as the Grand Hustle captain picking his team, and the issue weighs whether Eminem is really trying to squash the beef while Def Jam's new boss gets Jay-Z to justify his thug. Inside you will also find Afrika Bambaataa, a sneaker pimpin' fashion feature and Black Rob. A definitive year-opening issue from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
