Title: No more Scratch Magazine...
Post by: Larrabee on September 20, 2007, 11:45:41 AM
"After three years, Scratch magazine is calling it a day. The hip-hop mag's final issue features 50 Cent and Timbaland on the cover and is due out at the end of September. No reason was given for the magazine's shuttering."

I liked the mag initially, but they fell way the fuck off.  At first it was really a purist magazine, but then they started down the bullshit route.  The writing was on the wall.

Its true that after a certain time it was a little less about producers and becoming more general hip hop anfd then i stopped buying it lol but still my favorite magazine

From what I gather, that was the problem. Enough people weren't buying it when it was "purist," then they weren't buying it when it went commercial. Guess they couldn't find a big enough audience. A shame, as it was a pretty nice mag for a while.

Anyone got any scans or articles from that mag?

They did a dope feature with the Dre once, all about that hip-hop production.

This is really unfortunate that the only real, authentic hip-hop mag is now shutting down.  But like Jrome said, they were already starting to fall off.

Hip-hop is dead.  Peace.
