The Source Magazine – May 2000 (Big Pun Cover, Issue No. 128)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The May 2000 issue of The Source (Issue No. 128) is a tribute to the late Big Punisher, with an exclusive look at the Bronx heavyweight's last days just months after his passing. Elsewhere the issue asks how long Bone Thugs-N-Harmony can last without Bizzy Bone and follows Canada's kingpin Choclair as he slips across the U.S. border. Cover features and departments span Tony Touch, Eminem in the lab, The LOX, Common's latest, DJ Doo Wop, a turntable takeover and D.I.T.C., alongside reporting on Drag-On, Attica and the debate over Indian casinos. A poignant snapshot of hip-hop at the turn of the millennium from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
