Hilarious review of Illmatic from 1994

[Phantom Dreamer]

But that sentiment about the whole East Coast thing was even present at The Source. One of the guys that had a hand in it getting 5 mics knew there's be backlash from people who were disgruntled at The Chronic not getting 5 mics.

for good reason

 

[prophecypro]

Lot of people fukk up on how they remember albums

Chick’s name is Heidi Siegmund. I think that’s all that needs to be said lol

The source 5 mics was given by an Asian slore

 

[King Harlem]

Its ridiculous to discuss any album that briefly.

 

[DaveyDave]

Not around my way at all. The only record that even got played on the radio somewhat was The World is Yours. And that was barely. I used to listen to radio crazy back then. Detroit slept on that album

there want' much Hip Hop getting play on daytime radio back in 94 at all

They don’t payed plenty hip hop in 1994. That’s how I consumed most of my content back then. Illmatic got no radio play or was played like that in the city

Him quoting me was random AF

 

[Neuromancer]

The most talented rapper from Detroit remade Illmatic front to back

Yeah. Idk what that guy is talking about.

 

[L. Deezy]

She was a Pac Stan.. she helped write a book on Pac

*case closed*

 

[Why-Fi]

I'm gonna start calling dope songs, silky numbers

Stopped reading at Long Island.

The Culture allowed that album to take 7 years to go platinum despite the coveted 5 mic rating from that culture vulture. Lmao imagine Angela Yee giving an album 5 mics., nikkas would laugh. And she's actually half black. If 5 mics reflected the culture, illmatic would have meant much more. It flopped commercially and on the (non east coast) streets.

Everyone had the album, but most of them had a dub. Or in my case, a dub of a dub. Dubs got passed around and sold in HS like they were bootleggers on the ave.

Dude's on a mission to prove how irrelevant Illmatic is by talking about it nonstop 28 years after it dropped
