Post-2000
Future Publishing sold the title to
Ministry of Sound in 2000. The first Ministry issue featured
Mariah Carey on the front cover to the chagrin of many of it's harcore readers. Ministry tried to continue with its 'female artists only' cover policy which had proved successful for their dance magazine but after
Kelis and
Lauryn Hill they realised it was going to be difficult as they were rapidly running out of suitable female artists. Ministry sold the title after one year to a company formed by the editor and designers. HHC has gained international recognition and was described by
Chuck D as "the best magazine in the world". They have interviewed everyone who is anyone in hip-hop ranging from
Eminem,
Nas, Jay-Z, 50 Cent,
Ice T,
Dr Dre,
Snoop Dogg,
Jazzy Jeff,
KRS-One,
Lauryn Hill and many more.
