I remember reading a Murder Dog magazine on the bus in 7th grade, and the bus did a fast turn and I dropped the magazine on the floor and it was on the page where they would always have some hood chick bent over spreading their cheeks and two dudes who went to pick it up so that pick and were like “
“ 
good times. I have still seen Source and XXL in Borders, but it just ain’t the same. They’re trying to cater to everybody it comes off looking like a very watered down Vibe Magazine (and Vibe itself has turned into some Essence/Cosmo fusion ). Plus, neither mag even has full music reviews anymore, they’ll have like two sentences in the left corner of a page
they may as well totally get rid of them

U right about that, true. At the time, I was like, "I don't need these anymore, shyt, I ain't looked through em in a long time" and then I got rid of em'.
But yeah, u right. I never would've thought the magazine industry would be damn near out of business.

Murder Dog was so ill to me because i would just see all these rappers i never heard of...i'm like 13 and on the radio you're just mainly hearing radio shyt and then see theres a trillion rappers from every region getting their hustle on. there was plenty of wack shyt but there was some gems.
when i see all the fukkery that went on at all them magazines it makes me regret buying a lot of them haha. surprised i didnt notice a lot of the bias. the em bias was obvious with xxl after awhile tho.
