Various scanned articles. I'll be adding to this as time goes on and would encourage anyone else to do the same.

Didn't notice the Sun God part. Maybe he gave that name to his son once he started becoming a rapper.

I'll be attempting to update this with new images weekly.

I have every issue of the Source from #36 until now. Every single one.

plus I found about 20 of the ones before that, in mint condition.

Seriously, I have probably 75% of all the north american hip hop media published, maybe ever.

but it's always nice to go back and look at these days... Source was the MOTHERFUCKIN SHIT back then... it's on its way back now, to be honest...

yeah mayne, nice post

damn...i remember that Wu-Tang issue. I cut out the WU symbols and put them in the front of my binder. I remember the principal visiting our class and when he saw it, he told me to take it out and throw it away cuz he thought it was gang related...

I made it a Sticky and for 3 days nobody even checked it. I think for now I'll let it float and then we'll make it a Sticky.
