ego trip was the name of a hip hop magazine started in New York City in 1994.

After closing the magazine, the ego trip team (Sacha Jenkins, Elliott Wilson, Jefferson "Chairman" Mao, Gabriel Alvarez and Brent Rollins) continued on to a series of multimedia projects, such as the old-school rap music compilation The Big Playback (Rawkus Records, 2000), inspired by their first book, ego trip's Book of Rap Lists (St. Martin's Press, 1999). Their second book ego trip's Big Book of Racism! (Regan Books, 2002) spawned a relationship with the VH1 cable network. The staff have written and produced three television shows for the cable network, including TV's Illest Minority Moments presented by ego trip, the three-part ego trip's Race-O-Rama!, ego trip's The (White) Rapper Show, and ego trip's Miss Rap Supreme. 'ego trip' is currently authoring a book on the history of white rappers.
