    It was a good album. I bought it because of that Source rating. It shouldn't have gotten a 5 mic rating.

    Out of the handful of albums they did or didn't give 5 mics, i would say they are 99% accurate. All those albums that did get 5 mics or rerated still hold up.

    And @GunTown why do you keep bringing up how many songs were produced or sung on that doesn't mean anything.... J.Cole produced his whole albums and preformed most of his hooks on his albums and he was spitting so are you gonna call those classics??? I think not your just gonna bring up some other reasons why they aren't..... So if those reasons don't matter with other rappers quit using them as a point for Em

    Just learned that 38% of people on this board are haters.

    At least one of his first two albums was game changing.

    Who cares about the Source rating lol


    Grammy awards, Soul Train awards, MTV awards, B.E.T. awards>>>>>>>5 Mic Source rating


    Diamond plaques>>>>>>>>>5 Mic Source rating


    100 Million records sold>>>>>>>>>5 Mic Source rating


    Highest selling Hip Hop album ever>>>>>>>>>>>5 Mic Source rating


    And u know what the irony is?

    If the Source had given The Slim Shady LP, The Marshall Mathers LP, The Eminem Show 5 Mics like they rightfully deserved and Eminem was amazed they they never the Source magazine wouldn't have gone Bankrupt

    The beef with Benzino initially started because the Source didn't give his first 3 albums 5 mics and Eminem called them out for it and the public did too so if the Source just gave the albums 5 mics it would never have gone Bankrupt and Benzino never would have lost it

    Some people tend to add sales & awards into the conversation of a hot album. But to a true hip hop head, that ? don't really matter. ? The Source, album sales & awards. It's all on your ear at the end of the day.

    Jay has grammy's MTV Awards, BET Awards, soul train awards and has sold a ton of records, AND has 2 5 mic ratings in the Source, and you still don't think Jay Z has any classics. So I mean this goes both ways.
