[M Dogg™]

I know KRS-One got one in like '89. Paid in Full, Eric B. & Rakim, and of course, Ice Cube, Brand Nubian, Notorious B.I.G., but for Life After Death, not Ready to Die. Plus Outkast, Aquemini, Nas Illmatic, 2 Tribe LPs and one I can't think of.

Kinda fucked up that the Ice Cube record is the only west coast album ever to get 5 mics, and it was produced by an east coast production team.
even the chronic only got 4.5

fuck the source

[eNgIeS]

I think I speak for alot of people when I say FUCK VIBE, THE SOURCE, MTV & all those commercial media bullshit

& as for the 5 mics, that shit USED to be a good credible system, but then they got some new mutha fuckas doing it who aint nuttin but commercial dick ridaz who accept money from rappers to give them props in the magazine.

SO EVERYONE at the Source can get there 5 MICS & STICK EM RIGHT UP THERE ASSHOLE. 5 Mics would hurt even more then what Lil Ow Ow had to endure.

[Tanjential]

Remember they did an article that gave five mics to the chronic,2001,36 chambers and some others i think...maybe doggystyle on that article too..peace-Tanjint

[Top-Dogg2001]
