The Source: The Death of a Hip-Hop Bible

Used to be The Source was the source. Used to be you couldn't say you knew what was going on in hip-hop culture without peeking into its pages.
Used to be The Source broadened the scope of what hip-hop was, daring to speak about the political and cultural issues that hip-hop heads dealt with, daring to look at the international impact of a movement many thought would last just a few years, daring, in a sense, to keep it real.
Today, all there is to The Source is "used to be."
This Village Voice story lays out the sordid drama. And here are all the sickening details of sexual harrassment.
Sad and shameful are the words that come to mind. They describe a magazine that once had a mission to explain and exlore hip-hop, to dig deep into the culture to find where it is now and where it would be going in the future.
But now, the magazine wallows in score-settling beefs amid severe financial miscues, its mission lost in egos and machismo.
