Hey, im new around here, and i was wondering how many mics did Tha Dogg Pound's Doog Food and Snoop's Doggystyle get?
-
oh and does anyone have the review article and could u post it, Thanks.
-
IM pretty sure doggystyle got 4
-
doggystyle-4 or 4.5
dogg food-3 or 3.5
-
i think they both have 4 or 4.5 but after a while they decided to change the mark and put the classic mark 5/5
-
yeah a couple issues ago they gave alot of classic albums their just dues, when they gipped them when they first came out...including 2001....but for some reason they didn't put in the art of war....hmmm that's crazyness, what do you have to say about this "injustice" hellrazor
-
I remember a long time ago, i think back in late august or early september on the first rap city of the season Dre was on and he was sayin some shit about how they gave chronic and i think 2001 5 mics. Did this happen with Doggystyle and Dogg Food. But i always thought that Doggystyle got
4 1/2 mics and Dogg Food got 4 mics. Sorry but i cant remember, TheSource.com should have a list of how many mics a cd got. But they gave Jay-z's Roc La Familia 4 1/2 and that cd fuckin sucked in my opinion, and it didnt change the rap game or will be remember as a classic only like 3 or 4 decent cuts on it. They prolly took a bribe from Jay-Z, or they just all up on his dick (like most of the east).

:D

Shit i posted that shit about Dre and given em 5 mics without readin the rest of the posts. LOL. Does anybody know what other CD's were given 5 mics when they changed it or whatever...Ready to Die? E.1999 Eternal? 36 Chambers? Doggystyle? Reasonable Doubt? Dogg Food? Puffy's No Way Out, and Forever(just playin')?

Art Of War got 4.5 to begin with, so I didnt expect them to change that.
They gave E.1999 Eternal only 3.5 [one of their worst fucks up ever], and they admitted that if they reviewed it again, they woulda given it 4.5. But thats still too low for an album of that caliber. The album is certified classic, 5 mics easily.
-
Some other Source fuck ups:
Me Against The World, 4 [shoulda got 5]
Creepin On Ah Come Up, 3.5 [shoulda got 5]
The Chronic, 4.5 [shoulda got 5]
Stankonia, 4 [shoulda got 5]
Hardknock Life, 4.5 [shoulda got 1.5]
Liquid Swords, 4 [shoulda got 5]
Dare Iz A Darkside, 4 [shoulda got 4.5 or 5]
Moment Of Truth, 4.5 [shoulda got 5]
thats just a few. I could go on and on....

yeah i dunno what dogg food or doggystyle got.. but obvious doggystyle is a 5 and dogg food probably bout a 4.5 or 5
and i kno man... jay-z roc da famila? 4 1/2??
damn hell no
-
yo every gay-z ohhh sorry jay-z album is fuckin 4.5 execpt his first.. but i seriously think that roc... was a brick...i'm not hatin jus speakin( my mind)
-
The Source lost all credibility when they gave the Cold Boyz 4.5 mics for Guerilla Warfare. LMAO. Then, a year later, they give one of the most brilliant and innovative hip hop albums to come out in YEARS [Stankonia, in case your wondering] only 4 mics. Source=fucking joke.
-
its all about the ca$h.... u gotta buy more advertising to get more mics. *every* industry is the same... sad but true.
-
remember when Made Men's cd was supposed to get 3.5 and the editor added another mic on cuz they payed him or sumthin?
oh yea, The Source's recent crimes against the west:
Dj Quik - Balance & Options - 3 mics
Chico & Coolwadda - Wild N Tha West - 3.5
DPG - Dillinger & Gotti - 3.5
X-Raided - Unforgiven - 2.5
fuck the source!
-
quik should have got 5.5/5
-
is the source still for sale...cuz ice t could easily buy that magazine and make it GANGSTA in more ways than one
-
quik got 4 1/2 mics for balance & options.
on the front of my cd there is a sticker that says 4 1/2 from the source, "...quik impresses with funkalistic vibes..."
or something like that.
-
i have the issue right here dog, it got 3. rhythmalism got 4.
-
that shit should have got 5
-
i have both mags
doggystyle- 4 mics
doggfood- 3 1/2 mics
i feel doggystye should have gotten 5 mics and doggfood should have gotten 4 1/2 mics.
-
balance n options only got 3
but fuck the source, they gave beenie and black rob 4.5 and those two albums, cant even be in the same neighbourhood as doggystyle
-
yo gay-z got 4.5? and quik gets a 3?!?!?!?! fuck that east coast riding ass bitches they should make a magazine thats all about the west man thats straight up bullshit man just like warren G on his first album cover credits: FUCK THE SOURCE!!!
-
Mr. Loc, the editor of the source manages the made men and put the extra mic there. I heard this move caused writers for the source to quit because no one agreed that they deserved 4.5 mics.

Rolling Stone (1/27/94, p.51) - 4 Stars - Excellent - "...DOGGYSTYLE is filled with verbal and vocal feats that meet its three-mile-high expectations....DOGGYSTYLE speeds through 55 minutes of constant talk as if on a suicide hot line...."
Musician (2/94, p.69) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] succeeds on its own terms ...[Snoop's] the gangsta Marvin Gaye of Dr. Dre's Motown. It's the clever interplay of `hard' and `soft' which keeps some of these tracks alive; sweet harmonies blossom in the middle of brutal rhythm tracks...a funky, multifaceted album...."
Vibe (2/94, p.103) - "...Snoop is good, no doubt about it. His cool, lazy drawl is unique, evocative, rhythmically complex--the perfect foil for Dre's thick, tense beats...The big story on THE CHRONIC was Snoop stealing Dre's thunder; on DOGGYSTYLE, Dre snatches it back...."
The Source (2/94, p.67) - "...[Snoop] emerges as an MC who lives up to all of his advance hype...."

Melody Maker (12/11/93, p.28) - "...The music is sumptuous, soulful and genuinely menacing....Snoop Dogg is the real McCoy...."
Entertainment Weekly (12/10/93, pp.74-75) - "...[DOGGYSTYLE] is the most limber, low-rider gangsta album to date...it's easy to be impressed one moment and appalled the next..." - Rating: B-

doggfood- 3 1/2 mics
i feel doggystye should have gotten 5 mics and doggfood should have gotten 4 1/2 mics.
well if doggystyle got 4 ,, then all the snoop album are classic in a way..except for da game who got 3.5.. well seem like topp dogg and tha last meal ( doggfather hmmmmmmm) are classic n i think so i still have that feeling u know when u just bought it...yeahhhhhh :o
-
Beanie's first album was pretty good. It was a very strong debut. However, I KNOW that his new album shouldn't have gotten 4 mics. That is straighht bullshit. I've heard a bunch of other albums that they gave 3 and a half mics to, and those are better then this. It's really rediculous giving him 4 mics considering talib kweli aand hitek's cd was ages better then this shit and it got only 4 mics.
-
doggz , we don't judge an album by critics cause if we do so , well none will be classics,, the only one album i saw that had a classic mark 5/5 was outkast the album b4 skantonia i think, don't remeber the name , sorry,well to judge an album we got to say so,, the album had to or change the game or have a big impact or sell a lot ....naw mean .. critic is bullshit pleezbaleevit.. the source /vibe/xxl/ every fuckin dawm mag >:(
-
you are talking about aquemini.
The source has been right sometimes,
(ex, amerikkaz most wanted, low end theory, illmatic, aquemini) However they are wrong much more then they are right.
-
yeah exactly thanks dogg
-
the thing about the made men cd was that the editor for source was also the manager of the group so he tried to get the rating bumped up a mic..
-
I remember when Doggystyle came out and got only 4 mics...that was a disgrace...And when Dogg Food came out in '95 that was in the middle of that East Coast/West Coast bullshit and everybody was hatin on the West that's why Dogg Food was underrated by the Source...Dogg Food is easily a 4.5...
-
lol i just had a thought, i should become a music critic, i mean i EASILY have expierience *insert review forum plug here* :D
