The Source Magazine – October 2003 (50 Cent Cover, Issue No. 169)

A Piece of The Source Magazine History

The Source, October 2003 (Issue No. 169). At the height of his takeover, 50 Cent commands the cover in a bulletproof vest and G-Unit medallion as the magazine goes inside the shady world of Curtis Jackson and the machine surrounding him. This 15th anniversary issue also breaks down the Aftermath scandal, checks in on State Property and a locked-up Beanie Sigel, spends time with Nappy Roots down south, and asks whether Eve is being pulled from the Ruff Ryders, plus a look at DMX's new album. 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.
