The Source Magazine – May 2003 (P. Diddy Cover, Issue No. 164)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

P. Diddy leans against a Rolls-Royce on the cover of the May 2003 issue of The Source (Issue No. 164), as the magazine asks what the Bad Boy mogul is really worth. The cover package, Planet Hip-Hop: The Global Takeover, charts how the culture went worldwide, while Jermaine Dupri argues that money still ain't a thing. Inside, the Hot Boys weigh a reunion, Keith Murray talks about being to hell and back, and there is more from Queen Latifah, Fabolous, MC Lyte, Freeway and Nappy Roots. A snapshot of hip-hop at its early-2000s commercial peak, from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
