There was a time when The Source was seen as the Bible of rap. After series of changes, complaints, lawsuits, revamps and an end, the magazine looks to return to its old form. According to the publishers, this relaunch will take it back to its glory days.

“It’s a very seminal period, an opportunity to both celebrate 20 years of content and the fact that The Source was a leader in chronicling the culture of Hip Hop,” said L. Londell McMillan, the new co-owner of the mag.

“I’m on a mission to restore it to the community that gave birth to it and open the door to those that currently enjoy and influence that hip-hop culture,” he added.

Expect changes, though. According to McMillan, the mag will see changes that will make it “multi-generational” adding sections that will revolve around business, travel, education and more.

The first mag for the relaunch is the 20th Anniversary issue, which will feature four icons of the culture, LL Cool J, Queen Latifah, Ice Cube, and Nas. Michael Eric Dyson and Cornel West are also said to be involved with the issue, being led in a discussion by Chuck D.

“We’re just going to expand on what The Source has always done well,” he noted.

“I think that what we’re trying to do is evolve it as hip-hop has evolved and become an international force, to evolve it without losing its core essence that was the centerpiece of its earliest beginnings and greatness. But it has to evolve, just like Hip Hop has to evolve.”
