There is no way in hell the blueprint should get 5 mics. I would personally rate it a 4.25. It's good but not all that.

Id take Blueprint over Reasonable Doubt track for track.  

And let the controversy begin--

TRUE: I was just listening to Pete Rock and Marley Marl radio show in NY and they confirmed that Jigga got 5 mics from The Source upcoming issue. They even played 2 of his joints, discussed it on their chat room and gave him a round of applause (which is RARE for an underground radio show). Now that's gonna be one hell of a very disputed rating kinda like what Life After Death 5 mics was or even Illmatic (when it first came out and got 5 mics, cats said it was unfair and shit... Now we all agree it's classic...) Well, y'all can check my review of The Blueprint in the review section: I gave it 3.75/5 and after crazy spins this week end, I'd say it's a 4 mics album. Could be 4.5 minus two silly joints ("Girls, Girls, Girls" and "Jigga That Nigga") but that's about it. I still feel that Dynasty was a better album overall, if not for the compilation-like taste it left with so many guest appearances. I guess The Source really wanted to pay homage to Jigga's career and/or make for the 5 mics he didn't get for Reasonable Doubt. Still, The Blueprint is NOT a CLASSIC album. It's DOPE, it's excellent, but it ain't CLASSIC. It ain't gonna change shit in Hip Hop. If this is classic, then Straight Outta Compton, It Takes A Nation..., Chronic, Doggystyle, 36 Chambers, All Eyez On Me, Illmatic and 2001 (among others) should be a 6 mics albums. It's all good though... Big up to Jigga... He's holding shit down right now...

Blueprint is definatly worthy of 5 mics IMO. I personally give the album 4.75, but I can definatly see this getting 5 mics. This is Jigga's best album yet [yes, ladies and gentlemen, this cd is better than Reasonable Doubt].

BLuePrint is definately a 5 mic effort.  The wordplay, lyrics, and delivery were all on point.  All the other Hip-Hop websites I've gone to, underground and mainstream, are discussing the 5 mic rating.  The general opinion is that they agree with it.  This is coming from some websites that have members that totally hate the mainstream.  If even the hard to please undergound is giving it up, you know you have something special on your hands.  The Blueprint is going right up there with albums like Illmatic, The 7 Day Theory, and Ready To Die as the best albums in Hip-Hop history.  

My rating: 5 mics. I'd give it 5.5 if I could.   8)

Yeah, you're right.  I also forgot about The Chronic, Me Against The World, and Aquemini.
