Scratch was dope when they first started...really focused on the technical side of hip hop, particularly on the producer/DJ side. No BS gossip.
That lasted what maybe a year or 2, then was acquired by someone else and turned them into XXL/Source.

I have it I bought scratch religiously has high hopes
That cover was the ultimate tease
yeah, because it was actually a hip hop magazine that spoke on hip hop and not just a bunch of irrelevant things involvin' people of the genre and advertisements

You can't compete with the internet.And sucking dikk for years doesn't help either.

They was hot before thatThey gotta put 50 on the last cover considering he made them hot
yep. str8 styled on em. benzino & mayes win again.
xxl even tried to come out with a knockoff version of hip-hop weekly. it was called "juicy" or something. it looked EXACTLY like hip-hop weekly but with different colors and wack headlines.
im so glad that xxl magazine is out-of-print. str8 up sellout chit that contributed heavily to the death of the culture.
xxk didnt kill chit.
the industry blackballing is what killed the source. sponsors didnt want to mess with them w/ benzino & mayes there. so they had to get the boot. and the source has been a joke ever since.
yep.
i seriously question the integrity & smarts of anybody that supported xxl repeatedly in the past decade.

They should keep putting out issues on a quarterly basis. Price them at $10, stamp a "collector's edition" title on it and include some actual journalism.
As already mentioned, hip-hop websites are a dime a dozen. The magazine gave them some "credibility," for lack of a better word. I'd rather see XXL flourish online instead of Complex and some other garbage, but I fear that won't be the case, given the world we live in.
