40 got 3 1/2 mics... Even though they dissed him at the end of the review (sounds like he's going through puberty, etc.,) I think the only albums that scored higher this month were Styles & Eminem's...

Yall know the Deal already....FUCK THE SOURCE..........FUCK EM FUCK EM FUCK EM...and SO on!


If they give a Westcoast Release anything better than 3 Mic$ its gotta be some SupaDupaOffthe heezySlamminFlyShiggity...(Just peep Blocc Movement), whereas other Artists (from Ny and New Orleans in particular) never received less than 3 & a Half for some total Bullshit (New Master P or lil Kim shit for Example)


if u dont belive that the $ource is Fulla Shit and never been true to the game I got ONE Name for Ya: BENZINO...just peep some Reviews for Releases from him and his Crew, I never heard of that Mufuka til I saw him on every other Page in the Source

Fa'real.....they couldn't give a mic rating to the new Benzino 'cause they caught some shit from the earlier Benzino & crew reviews since he (Benzino) is part owner of the damn magazine.

3 1/2 mics is a decent rating.

@GANGSTAEIGHT

I think the Albums u mentioned are from a Period when the West was Runnin the Game(Unlike nowadays) and Benzino wasnt an official Co-Owner yet


but 4 REEEAL tho

If the source was my only ''Source'' of Imformation about the Game I would have never Known most of the People I consider my Favorite Artists today and have a slightly different definition of ''Underground/Gangsta''-Rap

Stop Hatin on Benzino. That nigga got straight love for the west .
I seen him in Frisco with Made man , he was cool. Dont hate on a Player. Just because E-40 last album was booty compared to his usual stuff. Remember e-40 is on the same label as Britney Spears

Benzino has put it down for years. Before E-40 . He is from Roxbury in Boston. He had songs with the East Sidaz, Daz and Kurupt and he is bicoastal. The Almighty RSO didnt sell millions , nor did Mademan. Like Murder Dog Magazine usually only cover West and South at least the Source give props to San Quinn, Rondoe and Crazy Rak( Gave them an album review) Too Short, E-40 , JT the Bigga Figga, and other artists, all over the map.
I do agree that Def Jam and Universal buys covers, but dont judge the magazine by its cover. I am sick of Master P, Snoop, Eminem or Jay Z hogging the Source covers. Dont hate on Benzino .

The source was a better magazine until Def Jam and Universal started buying up all the Ads or gave deals with companies to advertise. I wonder what happen with all that Black empowerment movement. It got lost with the BLing Bling , Rollin on Dubbs, and ICE mentality. I guess its all about the money.
