Im not an Eminem fan but he single handedly destroyed the source back in 02' after he bodied Benzino it was a wrap no one ever looked at it the same that's when XXL took the lead
Wow. The Source did Eazy E dirty
- Thread starter Bugsmoran
- Start date
Nobody got 5 mics during that time.
Mobb, Wu, Jay, Big.
Illmatic was the one exception.
92-96.
Exactly... nobody from anywhere got a 5, and even when albums did get a 5, it was very rarely... they weren't just tossin' 5's out like candy... but let's not acknowledge that... let's just say they had somethin' against Cali

And illmatic didnt deserve one.Exactly... nobody from anywhere got a 5, and even when albums did get a 5, it was very rarely... they weren't just tossin' 5's out like candy... but let's not acknowledge that... let's just say they had somethin' against Cali
And even on the rerate,they only gave them to deathrow,ruthless alumni
Here we go with this Source rating bias again. It's obvious a lot of y'all weren't around for those days.
BTW I don't think anyone in BCC got higher than 3.5...other than Enta da Stage getting 4.

Examples?
You already debunked the myth that the Source was biased in that thread two years ago.Exactly... nobody from anywhere got a 5, and even when albums did get a 5, it was very rarely... they weren't just tossin' 5's out like candy... but let's not acknowledge that... let's just say they had somethin' against Cali
Some posters still ain't learned the lesson though.

Doggystyle at 4 mics is criminal it was the best produced/mixed album of all time when it came out and it was lyrically a classic, nevermind the flows Snoop was unlocking, nikka was floating through the whole shyt.
The Source never knew what they was talkin bout.
They didn't rate All Eyez on Me because they knew it had to be a 5 and they didn't wanna give west coast nikkas the satisfaction
I think they didn't review it because they didn't get anadvance copy which is how they do a review before the album comes out and that's also why some albums are different when they're actually released. I'm pretty sure Murda Muzik got 4.5 or 5 mice in the review but they were reviewing the advance copy. Same with I Am.
BUT I think they should have given it a posthumous review and it would have deserved a 5.
Lol.
U do know Source magazine was no end all be all right?
I dont remember 1 person from nyc letting some magazine rating affect what they liked or bought. Whatever was popping in the streets is what people moved to.
When Doggystyle came out nyc treated it like a 5 mic album. We fukked with it, period, end of story.
Nobody gave a damn about no mic rating like that. Eminem lied to you.
Brand Nubians barely hit gold with 5 mics meanwhile that Eazy ep went multiplatinum with 2 1/2
It looks weird seeing you stress some irrelevant rating system when no one was really doing that.

I fail to see your point
You've went as far as alligning The Source with what actual people were thinking in nyc.
Stressing that nyc as a whole was biased based on Source mic ratings.
My point is, stop alligning magazine ratings to what people were actually thinking.
