The Source Magazine – October 2001 (DMX Cover, Issue No. 145)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The Source, October 2001 (Issue No. 145). Legendary artist Earl Simmons commands the cover in a striking painted portrait, as the magazine profiles a superstar wrestling with fame and self-destruction at the height of his powers. Inside, Keith Murray reflects on three years behind bars and whether prison sparked a new classic, Gangsta Boo holds court, and the issue rounds out with O.C. and Cormega, a look at how Gucci went hip-hop, The RZA live, and the annual B-Boy Summit. A genuine artifact from the golden era of rap journalism, straight from the pages of the magazine that called itself the bible of hip-hop music, culture and politics.
