The Source Magazine – October 1998 (A Tribe Called Quest Cover, Issue No. 109)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

A Tribe Called Quest cover the October 1998 issue of The Source (Issue No. 109) for an exclusive interview on the break up that ended one of hip-hop's most beloved groups. The cover package dissects the drug game, while Busta Rhymes and Flipmode light it up at Smokin' Grooves and Fat Joe, the Bronx heavyweight, snatches the crown. Inside, Ras Kass airs the frustrations of a waterproof MC, MC Lyte checks in, and Keith Murray's legal woes get their due. A defining late-nineties issue, from the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
