DUBCC - Tha Connection > Outbound Connection

Source SCREWS Jay Z

(1/4) > >>

King-Suge:
The source gave Blueprint 2 3.5 mics.  Thats an insult.  They gave Nellyville 3.5 mics and to even compare those albums is insane.

The album is at least 4--better with every listen.

King-Suge:
Most people, especially fans of Jay Z who have been down since "dead Presidents" came out, seem to think this is a very fair rating.  3.5 is not that bad, especially considering all of the filler on the album....If he coulda took compressed this into one album, he could had 4 or 4.5, but he wanted to be like Big and Pac and hit the world up with a classic double album in an effort to cement his place as one of the best.

STill a good album, and 3.5 ain't bad at all.  I mean, the Source often fucks up (many good albums have gotten 3mics while many shit albums have gotten 4 or 4.5), why do you take what they have to say seriously King Suge?  Still, i am surpirsed the Source wouldn't have rated this album higher considering how commercial it is......oh well, Jay is selling crazy units, that is what this album is for, and i'm sure he'll come with the album he is capable of next time.

Last year, The Source was all on Jay's dick, this year it is Nas (Nas got 1st and 10th best album, verse of the year, and artist of the year....i only agree with artist of the year, but the other three i am not so sure of....)peace >>


I agree with your post, but the bottomline is -people are always curious to see what the Source does.  And Ive been a fan of Jays for a long time..and I think a 3.5 is unfair.  You say MOST jay z fans dont like the album, but that is really inaccurate.  Most Jay fans will agree theres SOME filler (not a lot) but there are plenty of bangers and amazing tracks.  And I know that under normal circumstances 3.5 is okay-but when the Source gives that rating out to EVERY album I have a HUGE problem wtih that.

Instigator:
Damn, this is BS... the album deserves at least 4 mics.
Although it's far from Blueprint standards, it's still tight as hell, I gotta say 3.5 mics does real injustice to this album.

Whatever though - this will kill the haters saying that The Source is on Jigga's dick once and for all.

Twentytwofifty:
If I reviewed for The Source I would give it 3.5.

I would of thought that they would have given him 4.

And are they ranking the albums and artists of the year in this year instead of just listing the top 10 in no particular order?

HEH

Guess Jay-Z didnt get enough ads in the source in order for them to give it another mic.
