Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy Receives 5 Mics in The Source
My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy was one of the year’s most anticipated albums and Mr. West delivered ten fold. We recognized the musical mastery.
The Source crowns Yeezy’s MBDTF album the victor of their infamous 5 Mic rating in this months issue. The full review will be available in newsstands December 14th.

Is it true that it originally got 4.5, but they changed it behind the reviewers back?

I gotta listen to the album again, but I def thought it was good. His bars are pretty legit throughout, some parts are better than others, but overall, for the yea, definitely up there.

December 2nd, 2010 at 9:32 pm
Benzino was the owner, gave himself 4,5 mics
Source had Loud employees working for them too..
during East/West they were giving all West 3.5 or less and all East 4+ mics

I was at the game last night, 10th row 100 level (I’m fancy, nh). It was an abomination. Since Dwight turned into a beast 4 or so years ago ORL has owned us. We have no one who can contain him, he negates Noah’s effectiveness on the boards, and he takes away much of Rose’s penetration ability, no.
ORL is the kryptonite to CHI. They are the one team I do not want to see in the playoffs.

The two albums are inverses of each other. Graduation came in with a pop angle and MBDTF came in with a hip hop angle. Graduation was a collection of great singles and MBDTF is better consumed as a whole.
It’s a toss up for me. Both records are great for what they were aiming for.

College Dropout > MBDTF > Graduation

I agree whole heartedly….

I’d like to hear another Fif album with better beats this time around. BISD was still good though.

@ Marv
his name is Apex
some industry cocksucker called Scoot Boogie used to go on Soundclick and steal beats from the top 10 on the Soundclick, then go to a&r’s and rappers to sell them off. but a g-unit a&r got curious when they wanted to use the beat and he couldnt get the multi tracks to it
it all worked out well in the end, Apex got a deal with EMI Publishing on the strength of one beat
December 2nd, 2010 at 10:37 pm
As a cohesive whole? Maybe. Track for track? Nosign. Nothing on MBDTF quite reaches the heights of Flashing Lights, Cant Tell Me Nothing, or Good Morning.
^
Yeah, Graduation sounded disjointed to me, random tracks placed in tracklist. I think the best songs on Dark Fantasy (pause) are on par with the best on Graduation (if not better), but I think the worse tracks on Graduation are shittier than their more recent counterparts.

The source is a straight joke but we already knew that.. MBDTF is way better than Trill og.. Still got love for H Town though.. Pass me some purple drink.

“Many Men” is 50′s top song IMO
^ I see.
50 Bars
Gunz Come Out
I’m Supposed To Die Tonight
My Toy Soldier
Position Of Power
I’d put all those five above Many Men.
Also, I heard good things about the tapes 50 dropped in ’08 [if I'm not mistaken,] but never got around to check ‘em.
___________
Yeah I never listened to War Angel or any of those…
And I don’t know the connection really, but you reminded me:
Eminem – Like Toy Soldiers > 50 – My Toy Soldier

Good Friday tracks was an unprecedented event in hip hop rap
Nobody has ever done anything like that before

“50 cent cant pass through Queens..”

In my personal bias opinion:
1) Late Registration
2) College Cropout
3) Dark Fantasy
4) Graduation
5) 808′s

G-Unit was a Championship winning team.
Even Gayme had bangers at the time.
No way in hell G.O.O.D Music is seeing G-Unit in their prime, not even the mixtape era G-Unit.

3. Graduation
4. LR
5. 808 (although I like it more than I thought I would)

How are yall gonna say Bun B don’t deserve five mics. Dudes a legend. I mean Kanye deserves it as well, just don’t count out Bun just because yall don’t understand southern rap.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:28 am
if this got 5 mics Gutter Water has to get 10 mics

Alchemist is a legendary producer, but anything he rhymes on automatically loses 2 points, 2mics, what the fuck ever…but his rhyming is terrible at best. Some producers should stay behind their mpc’s.
December 3rd, 2010 at 1:47 am
don’t understand southern rap.
^^^^^
Haha, don’t understand….that is probably the least likely of reason people don’t like most southern Mc’s. And Bun B is cool but you can’t actually believe he is capable of earning 5 mics….his content is about as expansive as Games.
December 3rd, 2010 at 2:55 am
Stop it is the source even credible anymore? Yes it’s a dope album….4 mics yeah 5….get the fuck out of here……no one is buying the source anymore so they’re trying to sell units on the basis of bucking the norm, to quote will farrell trying to be “provocative”…marcberg, till the casket, evn ross album before this…i listen to 1-2, then 7-10, that leaves 7 OK song please stop dick eating this pompous prick he’s a dope producer but thats it. and to all the dick eaters continue doing so…i.e this is the greatest album ever or the shoulda gave him 6 mics….eat major penis..thanks.
