Westside Connection - Bow Down

The thing is, if The Source has THAT much of a West Coast bias, why did they give 4 1/2 mic rating to an album that disses the shit outta them ("All the Critics in New York")?  Shit, I've never thought that "Bow Down" is a 4 1/2 mic album.

This isn't to say they ain't biased - the reviews of Benzino/Made Men albums obviously prove otherwise - but generally speaking, cats gotta admit that the East Coast produces far more intelligent, quality hip-hop than the West.  The 2Pac and "Doggystyle" ratings are the only ones that immediately spring to mind which I disagree with.

Mr. RuthlessG:
Here are some other west coast album ratings that I remember.

Daz Dillnger - Retaliation, Revenge and Get Back =  4 mics
Mack 10 - The Recipe = 4 mics
Yukmouth - Thugged Out The Albulation = 3 1/2 mics
