Rap Pages Magazine - June 2000 - Shaft Cover (Samuel L. Jackson)

We're Back Just Like Shaft. Can You Dig It?

Released in June 2000, this unique issue of Rap Pages bridges the gap between hip-hop and black cinema, featuring Samuel L. Jackson on the cover for John Singleton's highly anticipated Shaft reboot. Hitting newsstands at the turn of the millennium, this issue captures a massive cultural crossover moment.

The magazine is backed by a heavy-hitting hip-hop lineup, featuring articles on Busta Rhymes, Cypress Hill, and a controversial piece on mob-connected music executive Joe Isgro. (Bonus: The back cover features a minimalist Y2K advertisement for the short-lived Dunk.net footwear brand).
