a white guy is the reason THE CHRONIC was denied five mics in THE SOURCE

[boogers]

last night i was having a drink and listening to The Chronic, one of the best albums of all time

THE SOURCE thought it was only 4.5/5

they took a star off for Lil Ghetto Boy

no im not kidding. thats why it didnt get a 5.

its signed "TMS" but its common knowledge that Matty C wrote the review. this is Matty C

thats who stole the honor from Dre. Lil Ghetto Boy "could go"? thats one of the best tracks on the album

i hope somebody kicks this dudes ass

heres an interview Katisse did talking about The Chronic

Anchorman "Jazz Flautist" on Avoiding 4 Most Common Flute Pitfalls for Saxophonists

If you ever witnessed the iconic “jazz flute” scene from the Will Ferrell comedy, Anchorman, then you’ve heard my flute playing. My improvised flute solo for that scene has since become a great calling card, which is interesting because I’m primarily a saxophone player. Regardless of your horn...

it upsets me personally because Lil Ghetto Boy is one of the peaks of the album, especially coming after Deeez Nuuuts, which, despite its name, is beautiful as well.

what kind of retard doesnt find Lil Ghetto Boy dope? thats like listening to 2001 and hating all the D.R.E. songs!

Reggie's call.

"So my man Matty C, fellow editor and the king of Unsigned Hype, did the do, and he gave it 4.5 – he thought “Lil’ Ghetto Boy” was the weak link in the chain – and that was that. I was firm on my “no 5’s” rule and that was also that. If you check the actual review, you’ll see that the byline is attributed to “TMS” (The Mind Squad) – which, for those that don’t know, was how we handled things that were done by group effort or committee. I can’t remember why we didn’t use Matt‘s name, but it couldn’t have been because of anything too serious."

Yeah, after Low End Theory they decided to raise the standard of 5 mics. Same reason Whut? Thee Album didn't get 5, either. That's why it was a big deal when Illmatic got it.

If anything I somehow find 4.5 mics more impressive than 5 lmao. I think a perfect rating always has a bandwagon effect or agenda behind it while a 4.5 is like the highest possible honor for something standing on its own
