The Source Magazine – March 2002 (Special 150th Collector's Issue, No. 150)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The March 2002 issue of The Source (Issue No. 150) is the magazine's Special 150th Collector's Issue, its cover a mosaic of past covers under the banner Hip-Hop Has Never Been The Same. Built around a definitive countdown of the greatest MCs, albums and moments, it gathers the era's icons in one place, from The Notorious B.I.G., 2Pac, LL Cool J and Rakim to Wu-Tang Clan, OutKast, Lauryn Hill, Snoop Dogg and Jay-Z. A landmark milestone issue and a natural centerpiece for any collection, still sealed in its original wrap. A defining artifact of early-2000s hip-hop from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
