Early copies of 'The Source', 'Rap Sheet', 'Rap Pages' (those 'four elements' issues were amazing), 'Flavor' (that was a free mag in the US, but Tower Records used to charge for that in London)... and then the skate magazines too. I had every issue of Big Brother, most issues of Transworld from '86 onwards... BMX Plus, Freestylin', Homeboy Magazine... It genuinely pains me to think of them now.
The worst thing is that I gave a lot away - and the guy who took them then sold them on eBay.
Still got the Playboys though.
it's funny, i just broke out all the old big daddys, and have been rereading them. i wish wax poetic would come out with a hard bound case (a la national geographic) to put your issues in. that would be quite nice.
I had almost every issue until Larry bought out the magazine. The cereal box issue, trip to hustler, the wide issue and the one with the weird cassette with the "ropers" were my fav's . Shit was a great video, still a skating classic #2 and boob were pretty bad. No one seems to realise thats were Jackass and CKY came from.
Big Brother magazine, porn and skating what more could a teenager want!
NERD ALERT: Yeah ... I have all four. Excellent ... wish they'd kept it up.
ANOTHER NERD ALERT: I'd like a Wax Poetics Issue #2
I worked on the upper left issue (so did our bol Young Phonics if I'm not mistaken).
Earliest one I have is the one with KRS on the cover, and the interview with Cope inside. I think it was from 94, maybe 95.
Remember BeatDown? It was a newspaper style, and a few of the ego trip guys started there. I only have one issue of that though, which I think had the first ever interview with Funkmaster Flex in it.
But I love Sween's old username even more.

1993.
I'll put all the On The Go's up again one day.
On The Go had a dope video magazine, too. Used to watch the one with Quest Love droppin topics and Black Thought freestylin'. And I think the Artifacts were on it, too. Man, that takes me back for a hot sec.
I want my subscription money back.
You and Moist better watch your backs. *PASUE*
wired is my fav magazine
Thanks !
Between my wife's collection and mine we have loads and loads of magazines, On The Go, Subculture, BAM, Vibe, Grand Royal, Stress, Urb, Fresh Yo, NME, Freestyle, Flavor... Most of it is at my parents, but I think I'll buy a scanner to my mom for her birthday !
That was definitley part of that magazine's downfall. I came in right around the last issue and then it was a wrap.
You mean the subculture with the Legends on the cover? I wrote some stuff for that one, too.
