They thought those 5 mics would give them their “new guy”. The album flopped. And the ugly dude from BK was crowned by the people. That’s why biggie won lyricist of the year over a 5 mic album. The source hitched the wrong ride. Then changed course once they saw how the country loved Big. Nas career probably would been better if he never got that 5 mics for that album

This conspiracy theory makes no sense. They didn't change course as this exists:

The campaign was illmatic. But if course Nas wasn't on the cover till he had a greater opportunity at making them some money. Having him on their prior would be like burning money.

Breh, if the campaign was Illmatic, they could've put him on the cover. They interviewed the production team and had a full story on it. Your post makes no sense.

No, they sell it the best ways they can then put the agenda inside. Kind of like these tv shows selling you something you want to see, then shoe horning lgbt propaganda in, like Power ghost, Empire, etc

Breh, if they were campaigning for Illmatic like that, Nas would've gotten a cover, won awards and racked up the accolades to sell him being "the one". This was their magazine. They had free reign to do what they wanted with it.

In 1994, Miss Info was NOT a power player. She didn't become a power player until she became a DJ. More importantly, she has NOTHING to do with this thread.
She gave Nas average album, classic status. Look at the album now. That's a powerful move.

I'm sure they had free reign, but they also had to make money. So I stand on what I said.

For starters, The Source wasn't the only publication praising Illmatic. She didn't give the album 5 mics. She wrote the review. Nobody knew who she was at the time. And again, got is that relevant to this thread?

I didn't say the source was the only publication. East coast bias media has no limits
