In the source mag. When outkast got 5 mics they said that dre shoulda got 5 mics.  Don't get me wrong, I think the source fuckin sucks for never giving dre 5 mics, I'm just happy nas got 5 mics so Gay-Z wont think he's king shit no more.

FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK FUCK THE SOURCE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
i have the cd. its good. regardless of what anyone says, its nothing amazing. it blows my fucking mind that they give this cd 5 mics and gave 2001 4.5. the source is the most biased bullshit magazine i have ever read. they suck so much east coast dick. do they not know that when they do shit like this it ruins all of their journalistic credability? i'm surprised that they actually decided not to give benzino's album a rating. i guaranfuckintee you if they would have he would have gotten 5 mics. and benzino is a talentless piece of shit. fuck people i hope none of you rely on the source's rating system. the shitty thing is i know a lot of people out there do. fuck the source. once again i'm not hatin on nas, the cd is good, but if it gets 5 2001 should get about 12. FUCK THE SOURCE

I hate the Source as much as the next man, but they ARE correct in giving Stillmatic 5 mics, regardless of what any other album has got. Shit, E.1999 Eternal [probably my fav album ever] didnt get 5 mics [though it should have], but that doesnt take anything away from Stillmatic......

Are you forgetting about 2Pac........Me Against The World and All Eyez On Me are 5 mic albums.

And im tired of people saying "oh, Stillmatic doesnt deserve 5 mics cuz 2001 didnt get 5 mics".............Stillmatic is a better album than 2001, nuff said.

I can't understand why everyone is so hung up on why 2001 didn't get 5 mics.  You all say you hate the source and you hate it when people rely on the ratings for good albums.  That's exactly what you're doing.  If you hate the source so much, why do you even bitch about what ratings any album got?  Why do you even care?  It's true that a LOT of people do rely on the sources ratings, but not everyone has to.  If you don't like the source, don't come up in here saying "Fuck the source, they eastcoast dickriders!" we all know that anyway.  You just make yourselves sound very immature.  But you are entitled to your own opinion, so I guess you can do what you want. ;D

Stillmatic will lyrically SLAUGHTER 2001.........production-wise 2001 might be better [and thats a BIG might], but lyrically and conceptually, 2001 is NOWHERE near Stillmatics level.

Ill take Stillmatic anyday of the week........and no, im not a east coast dickrider, im born and raised in Cali. But only west coast dickriders will tell you 2001 is a better album than Stillmatic.

no link between lyric n classic , i mean they gave the mark fo general observation , not because he's as some dope ass lyrics, they look if the shit is deep, n how he deliver....then they look with the beat if everything is aight the go on n on , then when they finish , if the whole thing can stand by it self they gave him a classic mark. so everything is important in this case, except fo jay-z , they acclaim this nigga before he even drop any shit

I hate the Source as much as the next man, cuz they have fucked up on alot of albums [Cuban Linx, Chronic, Doggystyle, Ready To Die, E.1999 Eternal, Infamous, ATLiens, Reasonable Doubt, 36 Chambers, Liquid Swords, Me Against The World, etc etc], but they were on point this time. For real, I dont see how anyone could have any gripes about Stillmatic [other than Braveheart Party], that album couldnt of been better.

Title: Re: Stillmatic gets 5 mics!!!!!
Post by: Don Jacob on December 29, 2001, 06:31:43 PM
RIGHT ON!!! Nas deserves this and so does stillmatic



and for the record stillmatic and chronic 2001 are about the same


lyrically , yeah stillmatic is faaaaaaaar superior
but Production wise 2001 is HELLA better than every album out there right now with only stankonia being even close....stillmatic's production isn't all that great but it makes it listenable all the beats (even the premier beat ) are simple melodies....i dunno you'd have to know production to know what i'm talking about but whoever said Stillmatic and 2001 are about the same production wise are making themselves look silly. That's like saying mack 10's the same lyrically as Xzibit or Crooked I.


anyways back to the topic....this is much deserved

2001 did or does not deserve 5 mics...it never did...4.5 was fair because the album was stellar...but the original chronic definately deserved 5 mics...as for nas, more props to the king, peace.

Congrats to Nas. Too bad the rumor that he went gold in his first week was not true. An amazing album. Stillmatic and The Blueprint are definitely the two best albums to drop this year.

P.S. 2001 is better than Stillmatic.

Yes... Stillmatic deserved 5 mics, Dre deserved 5 mics, (loses a half a mic for being West Coast) and Eminem deserved 5 mics, (loses a full mic for being a white boy).... But Jay-Z should have NEEEVVVERR gotten 5 mics.

well let's say nas pay someone to get the classic mark... do u still gonna talk that present and all that. if it's the case the gonna do another review n he may gets the 4.5, but in my eyes a 4.5 at the source is already a classic cause they gonna change it , in the 2 years. except fo jay-z , all his album i mean all  ( even roc la familia) got 4.5 thats bullshit

once again, amen to jerraveli. stillmatic deserves 5 mics for the lyrics but IF NAS RELEASED THIS ALBUM WITH INSTRUMENTALS ONLY LIKE DRE DID WITH 2001 THEN YOU WOULD KNOW THAT THE BEATS & PRODUCTION DONT DESERVE MORE THAN 3.5 MICS.

Quote
but lyrically and conceptually, 2001 is NOWHERE near Stillmatics level.



and ohh how can u say stilmatic had a better concept than 2001. ok this might be your opinion but IMO 2001 had the waaaay better concept. 22 tracks including skits with a dope ass concept and a top notch production. i aint dissin stillmatic, but like jake said, stillmacit had simple melodies thats all. while the production on 2001 was on a hole different level. but i think thats because dre cares more about production and nas about the lyrics.

and the last thing,  why ppl talked bout the past and present. i wonder if ppl are still gonna like stillmatic the same in 2 years i doubt it, well I  know I wont but 2001 is still in my cd player.

This shit is pointless! We all knows The Source is just a magazine. A NYC Magazine. So fuck that!

U all saw the Warren G review?

And the 2Pac reviews?

C'mon..

Maybe Nas deserve it, but.. dont compare it with West Coast albums. Compare it with Jay-Z, or Mobb Deep or any other East Coast album. Cause there's no comparsion between a NYC album (of the so called new King Of NYC) with a West Coast Album, for a NYC magazine. U get it now?
Title: Re: Stillmatic gets 5 mics!!!!!
Post by: LIL GUY on December 30, 2001, 04:17:09 AM
The source is a east coast magazine.  So a west coast album will never get the proper due.  Just think they gave Xzibit 3.5 mics.  The gave the last meal 4 mics.  The reason stillmatic got 5 mics is because it is better than the blueprint and the blueprint got 5 mics so they had to give stillmatic 5 mics.  But hey stillmatic is tight as fuck though, but those world songs kinda suck so it is not perfect. but hey all this shit is just a thought of someone and what they think.  

HEY WHO IS ON THE COVER OF THE NEW SOURCE?

Dam, The Source is having fun, handing out all these 5 mic ratings-too bad they missed out on some key West Coast albums.

I'ma go buy "Stillmatic" right now to see all this hype.  This will be my first East coast CD since I think Eve...which I only bought for the Dre tracks.  I think the last one I got was a burned, "The W."

2001 didn't get half a mic off for being westcoast. It got half a mic off for being Garbage, lyrcially.

All of you are just hating on the Source (for good reason, i hate the Source too), but you dick ride the west coast too much. (Dont start shit with me i'm born & raised Cali). There's absolutely no reason anyone should've brought up 2001 in this topic, and i'm damn sure most of these Westcoast dick riders who're screaming their heads off havent even listened (like deeply) to Stillmatic as a whole. Stillmatic deserved a 5-Mic rating.

Let Me Throw It Like This.  

Somebody Else Mighta Already Said This, I Didn't Read All The Replies.  But What Is Becoming Painfully Obvious To Me Is That The Source Is Purposefully Feuling This Beef.  When The Blueprint Came Out, There Were Stories About How Jay Z Was Murderin' People On It, How He Was Dissing Nas And Prodigy.  Then, It Comes Out, They Give It 5 Mics.  Now That The Nas Beef Has Been Heating Up, They Give HIM 5 Mics, To Kinda Feul Jay Z On To Thinking The Battle Isn't Over.  It's All Sensationalism.  Didn't They Have A Hand In The East/West Beef Back in The Day?

My Big Problem Is In The First Place, Their System Is Way Off Base.  Lets Get Back To Judging Music Rationally.  I'm Not Even Gonna Talk About Them Being Biased Towards The East, I'm Talking About Their Bar Being Too Low... Blueprint NO WAY Was A 5 Mic Album.  The Takeover, The Main Diss Song On THe Album, Wasn't Done Very Good, The Beat (From The Doors Roadhouse Blues) Doesn't Work Good For A Diss Song, and Since That's the Main Attraction Of THe Cd, I'd Give It 4 Mics.  Honest.  


Look At The Beef Songs From The Past.  Hit 'Em Up.  Who Shot Ya.  New York New York, Dre Day... No Vaseline, Appetite For Destruction, Etc.  Now THATS A Diss Song.  The Takeover Is Pale In Comparison...

The Rest Of The Songs On The Album Are Alright, But None Of Them Come Close To Songs On A Classic Album.  These Best Songs Oughta Be The Filler On A Classic Album, Not The Main Attraction.  The Takeover Isn't Good Enough To be On A Classic Album, And That's One Of His Best Songs? PLEASE.

When's The Source Gonna Wake Up, And Start Rewarding People Like Dr. Dre, The Roots, Common, De La Soul, The Beastie Boys, And DJ Quik Who Consistently Drop Good Albums? I'm Not Saying Their Better Than Nas Or Jay Z, But Their Albums Are Every Bit As Good As Theirs, And They Get No Respect.  That's B.S.  Their Whole Scale Is Off.

There are so many ironic things to consider with these 5 mic ratings.  Think about it--The Source hadnt given out a 5 mic rating in YEARS..then they give out 2 in a 3 month span?  Also-The past couple of "verses of the month" have been Nas' Jigga diss..and Jigga's Nas diss.  The Source is lovin the beef and is exploiting it..and at the same time is causing the magazine to lose respect with real hip hop fans by giving a lackluster overrated album like "Stillmatic" 5 mics.  I thought they did the right thing by giving the Blueprint 5 mics, but now I see they had other plans.

I Agree, They've Lost All Credibility.  They've Got Their Own Agendas, And It Ain't Just The Made Men, They're Obviously Biased Towards Certain Rappers, They Think It's Cool Nas And Jay Z Are Beefing, Plus, What Type Of Mag Gives A Rating, Then Goes Back In A Few Years And Says They Should Have Given It A Higher Rating? They Should Have Cemented Their Criteria For a 5 Mic Classic Album From The Beginning.

I agree with everything but in all fairness, they didnt review the Benzino album.  Also-I think its logical that when they rate a CD its good..but as time goes on they go on to fully appreciate it.  Also-Perhaps when the Chronic was graded they had different writers than they do now..different people=different opinions.

i have the cd. its good. regardless of what anyone says, its nothing amazing. it blows my fucking mind that they give this cd 5 mics and gave 2001 4.5.

they suck so much east coast dick.

but if it gets 5 2001 should get about 12. FUCK THE SOURCE


Damn first of all, I gotta say you take these "Mics" damn too seriously.  I never have cared what the source gives a certain album, it doesn't matter to me... as long as I like the cd.


Next, only cus they give Nas 5 and Pac 4.5, is not suckin east coast dicc, it's just the writer's opinion of the album.

If Nas was from the WEST and Pac repp'd the east, you would most likely be content with those reviews.

wreck: correct me if i'm wrong, but i was talking about 2001. and i don't give a fuck about the source. my point was they are biased. WHICH THEY ARE!!! to give stillmatic a perfect rating and not 2001 is fucking hilarious. my point was to inform people that they shouldn't base their opinions of cd's on what the source rates them. they are not a credible magazine. all they are doing is trying to fuel this beef between jay and nas. so by giving jay a 5 they're gonna give nas 5. now don't get me wrong i copped stillmatic and its a good cd. and i copped wu. and i copped ghostface. so don't go off on this bullshit "if nas was westcoast, you'd agree"  i don't give a fuck where someones from as long as there shit is dope. so you shouldn't make some fucked up assumption on shit that you don't know about.

Whoever said "Dr. Dre 2001" was full of just some party lyrics, and had no real meaning - I think is wrong.

"2001" was Dre's "out of the cradle" album.  He returned when everyone doubted him the most, and that album served as his middle finger to all the peeps that doubted and hated.  The whole album is a retrospective back on his life, songs like "The Watcher," "Still D-R-E," "Forgot About Dre," "What's The Difference," "Bang, Bang" and "The Message."  It's Dre addressing past issues, and stating that he has matured, and is past being a gangsta.

Just got this album, and I'm glad I did.

"Ether" is a great diss track, Nas's voice sounds great, and doesn't his flow on that song sound JUST like Em's flow on "The Way I Am"?  I think it does.

I like all the songs except "Braveheart Party."  

This is prolly the only album I have where I could give a fuck bout the beats, cause Nas makes my pay attention to what he's sayin.  His flow is incredible at all times.

Still, I think "2001" is better.

Stillmatic deserved 5 mics imo, but i dont think it raised the bar for hip hop at all, i think it raised the bar for commercial NY emcees but not the whole of hip hop, and personally i thought Sticky Fingaz: 'Black Trash' was album of the year, just my 2 cents...
