I once dedicated the month of September’s playlists to magazines that I enjoyed reading or intrigued me. Ego Trip was not among them. I did however pay tribute to the magazine with the playlist below.
I don’t remember much about the magazine in the 1990s. I either never saw it on the stands or saw The Source as just that for my hip hop news and reviews. I was definitely aware of the magazine when it published its Book of Rap Lists.
Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists is one of the most, if not the most, important books related to hip hop ever produced.
I’ve been reading my copy for the last few days and an idea for an upcoming Suite Delight radio show theme came to me. If Ego Trip magazine would be the theme, I would need a great place to start from. As I got to the end of the book, there was a chapter discussing the artists that have been written about and appeared on the magazine cover.
I want to extend a thanks to the writers and creators of Ego Trip Magazine. Ego Trip's Book of Rap Lists is of biblical proportinons as far as hip hop is concerned and I’m glad it was made. Similar to The Source of the 1990s, Ego Trip Magazine represents what I needed and ironically still need from a magazine dealing with hip hop.
With The Suite Delight radio show now changed to an old school hip hop format, it seemed like an ideal to again pay tribute to the magazine.
A visit to their website might give you some clues as to who made the playlist on August 26.
The Suite Delight new time slot is Tuesday morning 1-2am EST on www.ckut.ca & 90.3 FM.
