I'll buy both of them if any of my favorite artists are featured in them.
"One day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know," Alice answered. "Then," said the cat, "it doesn't matter."

I ain't buyin' The Sauce anymore in the light of the recent events... Just XXL. But only if it has somethin' interesting in it. (And most of the time both magz have at least one feature I'm interested in, but not every time.)

I voted for the source.  Ive been buying those issues for years.  I prolly got at least 50 issues of the source.  Structure wise, its a better mag than XXL.  They get better interviews and better info.  But lately I havnt baught an Issue since the power 30, and I really fucking hate Benzino.  I guess the only reason I voted for the source is becuase Ive only baught 4 or 5 issues of XXL and it wouldnt be fair to vote XXL.

No magazine is touching The Source '92-'96. That's when I collected them religiously.

I agree with that...since then, they keep steadily falling off.

They were still pretty good going into '99, then it really started to fall off.

Oct '98 is a classic issue.

I buy The Source, XXL & sometimes Rap US (french magazine) but I see ppl here on the forum are into Murder Dogg & Rime Magazine but I wish I could get it here in Belgium to, its sad that its not availble in Belgium, or does anyone know where I can subscribe to these magazine that ships to Belgium?
