I love how everything was so simple. Look at how ugly Bushwick Bill's ad was. They didn't spell "Clear" correctly. That wasn't even the exact name of his first single. Can you imagine that happening now-a-days? Makes you think about how much corporate business has put their hand on the record business.
I have nothing but fond memories of how us fans were getting good music and how my best friend Eric and I would rush home from school the day the Source was to come in the mail. We both had subscriptions and we wanted to know all the new reviews and what albums were on the horizon. I would usually get home before Eric and I would keep calling his house until he would finally get home and answer. I would piss him off so bad cause I would always tell him something that he couldn't have possibly see in the new issue yet. Sorry for all the sappiness, here we go----
This first post is from the October 1992 issue. It was #35. I tried to keep everything in order. I scanned that second picture because the song "Bitch Get A Job" is one of my all time favorites. No one really knows about it but something that I love, so that is why I included that scan. Enjoy!

really great upload..
i had a thought.
if you have all the scans of previous issues on your drive, you could put em all in one .rar file
this was seriously great going through this issue you put up here.. thanks
Dope, this was a great issue and I used to have it, man we had shit good in the 90's.
Is there any chance you could please post up the EPMD one with the interview from 1992?.
Can't believe K-Solo's 2nd album only got 3.5 mics. It's at least 4. Maybe I'm biased.

pete getting quotable of the month is comedy since he didnt write the rhyme
man thanks for this! it was sophmore year at college for me and my subscription was in full effect.
Awesome post with the Source scans.
Man '92 was really like the last year of the big 80's rap & hip hop.
By that I mean in '93 shit just blew up ridiculously with Wu, Black Moon, Master Ace, KRS...
I know I'm forgetting some but basically '93 was one of if not THE best years in hip hop and it changed the landscape forever IMO.
Trav, give me some scanner advice since I really screwed up when I tried to scan my old Source mags. I think I have all from '91 to '00 and I want to have them digitally archived before they deteriorate further.
Thanx
Vince, Brian would be your man to ask for help, since this is his post...haha....
Feel free to hit me up with an email and I can get you in touch with him.
trav, already been in touch with vince
