The Source Magazine - June 1999 - Issue #117 (Snoop Dogg Cover)

Snoop Dogg Takes It Back To Cali.

Released in June 1999 (Issue #117), this vintage edition of The Source features a striking black-and-white portrait of Long Beach legend Snoop Dogg on the cover. Hitting newsstands as he prepared for his monumental return to the West Coast sound alongside Dr. Dre on 2001, this cover story is a crucial piece of West Coast history.

However, the true hidden gem of this issue is an early, in-depth feature on Eminem ("Dissecting the White Boy Thing"), dropping just months after the release of The Slim Shady LP changed the industry forever. The issue is rounded out by heavy-hitting articles on Southern legends Eightball & MJG and Charli Baltimore, plus the Annual Swimsuit Spectacular. (Bonus: The back cover features a vintage 1999 advertisement for Lugz footwear).
