Ha ha, yeah the HHC design has always left a lot to be desired. Looks almost identical to Look In or Smash Hits.

Still, nice collection though - I have most of those.

Here's a new post:

Nice never really saw any source mags pre 92 when i became a magazine fiend.

This is great work. The blog is DOPE!

But the majority of the links are dead!!

If somebody have all the uploaded magazines, could you put them all in one big .RAR and upload it as a single link to rapidshare or any upload site?
Or maybe split them up in 3 parts or something. It takes years to download every scan/magazine separately.

anyone have a scan for when fierce was in unsigned hype.. either 95 or 96 i believe..

Yeah, I have that somewhere - don't think I've upped it yet. Will have a trawl through the draft files I have ready to go, and the files I haven't prepared yet.

Mark your blogs one of my favourites, great work man.

I'm sure theres people who missed out on Thimk while the links still worked, I can up a few of them if anyones interested?

On tumblr RNT, upnorthtrips, citiesofdope, pshinesdagodaow, babylonfalling & dopeassflicks are all good for the scans/old rap photos too.

i needs these for my collection!

No particular requests from me Larry but the offer is appreciated no doubt...

As the Jaz & BE said, just trickle away at em over time, theyll all be applauded ...

Thanks for the heads up on Dopea$$flicks though, hadnt clocked that one, too many nutty photos on there....

July 1991 issue

Slick Rick interviewed as he prepares to do porridge. Classic NWA interview where Eazy talks about going to the White House and this:

"Sounce: Don't you think that was ill - beating up a girl?
Eazy E: Nah, it's not ill. The bitch deserved it. She knew that."

More Quik, this time pretending hes not a blood and outing Ice Cube for saying hes from Compton.

Its cool that people are interested, not everyones into reading old rap rags. I might up a few more today if I have time.

Rick needs to be remembered for more than storytelling and his jewelry game, he also was the first rapper to buy a short sentence ala TI.

Lengthy Mc Eiht, Spike Lee & Redman interviews.

Well goodness gracious...I'm going to make this a sticky.

Yo Larry did you get my PM?

Yo Larry2times, keep them comin bro!!
i love this man!

its great to read these older Source mags to see how hip-hop was in its truest form before the golden era came along in '94.

in '91-'92 hip-hop was real and true and everything was basic & simple on how the business worked and how u supposed to represent ur self as a rapper.

around '94 things got real and everything was elevated to another level.
but in '90-'92 hip-hop was in its truest form of how things were supposed to go.

The first and second issues of The Source from 1988

Nah, it seems I cant read PMs til I make more than 40 posts.

I'l try and keep uploading issues every now and again. Its actually easy enough to do really since I'm not scanning them.
