Post by: _That_Cracka_J on January 24, 2003, 12:25:06 PM: I thought XXL was weak at first, but now I defintely enjoy it more than the Source.

I never see this magazine anywhere
Title: Re:The Source vs. XXL
Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 24, 2003, 12:46:42 PM: I've got every issue of The Source since Tribe broke up but this issue was the last straw. I'm not buying anymore, I'm going to start getting every XXL starting with the Em, 50 & Dre one.

The beef between the two have probably always been there since it's the former staff of The Source that started XXL after they walked out.

yeah it is hard to find. it is only sold in tower records and some barnes and noble stores.
Title: Re:The Source vs. XXL
Post by: Kaidy on January 24, 2003, 12:53:35 PM: I don't really like either of them but I prefer XXL. Even with the Benzino shit aside, the sauce has been in my bad books for years.

Post by: S.G.V. on January 24, 2003, 10:49:56 PM: i dont like the source...or xxl...but to me xxl is still amateur...they dont got anything really interesting to me...id still read the source...cuz at least they feature peeps like Paul Wall, Chamillion, Haystak, Sly Boogie, Dr Stank, Damani..etc...from time to time...XXL has a bunch of writers who just talk alotta shit...

but fuck both of em...as ive said before...Murder Dog is the wave of the future...
Title: Re:The Source vs. XXL
Post by: T-Dogg on January 25, 2003, 06:31:15 AM: 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.)

Post by: PLANT on January 25, 2003, 11:50:34 AM: 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.

I agree with that...since then, they keep steadily falling off.
Title: Re:The Source vs. XXL
Post by: Twentytwofifty on January 25, 2003, 05:05:49 PM: They were still pretty good going into '99, then it really started to fall off.

Oct '98 is a classic issue.

Post by: AlAndalus aka Hispanic on January 26, 2003, 02:27:21 AM: Im also down with XXL.

The Source is just a waste of time to read.
Title: Re:The Source vs. XXL
Post by: 40oz GRApHire on January 26, 2003, 04:38:07 AM: 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?
