Did u know source wouldnt give Eminem 5 mics just because the CEO some Old 50 year old who dont know how to rap had personally problems with Eminem...
Thats not a reliable mag....thats a mag that dosent matter...
I know it's not the ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
I know it's not the source isn't the holy grail, but it's still relevant in the hiphop community. How they decide who get 5 mics, I don't know. But it's the same with the grammys and oscar. Winners are selected by people with prejudice.. but it still counts.
I feel what you're saying though.
Very true...The ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
Very true...The Grammy is bias in some way or form but they have set standards no? and most of the time they follow them which im sure you'll agree. One thing is for sure though the grammys and the oscars decisions on the quality of an album or a artist wont be effected on a personal level...which Source due to its CEO lacks.
ok.. let's try ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
ok.. let's try another example...
who is the richest man in the world? it's most likely that your answer will be based on a Forbes list (or Business Week). Also if I were to ask which company in the U.S. had the highest gross revenue, you'd look to Fortune 500 for that.
These are relevant forums in the business world. They're not without controversies and biases.. just like the Source magazine, which is regarded as the most influential hip hop magazine in the U.S. though we'd love to hate!!
Yes but all these ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
Yes but all these magazine have FACTS to back what they place within the magazine. I mean if Bill gates had a disagreement with lets say forbes Editor or owner he will still be mentioned in the magaznie. While Sources decisions like i said before can be conflicted by personal interest such as in Eminems case where his Albums MMLP and SSLP were clear classics yet they werent mention at all...

well I guess you could say Em's albums are classics, but by who's standards? Ours? Not everybody would agree with that. So coz you and I feel that way, don't mean the next man would. Also, Forbes printed some not so factual publication about Fidel Castro's worth. They used approximates not facts coz leader of Cuba would not invite America into his savings account.
Even oscar and grammys play politics atimes.. give youngest or least expected nominee = more ratings.
Eminem albums are ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
Eminem albums are classics according to most people and every other magazine. Then again everything is a perference, Illmatic might be a classic to some others might not find it up there
Yes they didnt make an actual publication about Fidel, atleast they made a publication. From what you say its not the magazine itself not wanting to get the facts right its just they werent allowed. Well can you give a example when they gave it to youngest or least expected nominee who didnt deser ve it?
and by most people, ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
and by most people, you mean Eminem's fans right? Like I had previously posted, not everyone will feel that way.
About Castro, they still printed what they felt like, didn't they?
About Oscars and ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
About Oscars and Grammys
...Tom Cruise never winning any oscar despite numerous classic movies, about a billions in box office worldwide, and three nominations.
Al Green never winning Grammy for his classic hits.. only winning for songs he produced for whites (in his own words),
Jennifer Hudson winning for best supporting actress.. magnificent role, but not oscar deserving. Three Six Mafia winning for Best Original Song... and the list goes on.
Few moments that made ME go WTF?
I disagree. You ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
I disagree. You would be ignorant to think so.
I dont expect them to, but classics are still classics in the list even if u disagree or not. Castro didnt let them into his account savings..what did u want forbes to do? leave him out...you'll probably say they were incorrect for leaving him out also =/
and again u drift from the main point. About source not appreciating artist musically...i have no idea how you drag all this in...
Yes that may all be ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
Yes that may all be true...but i dont see how this have to do with source magazine being a magazine driven by not giving the greatness of a Artist rather how much they like them.
What you say about grammys and oscar true...but what does the grammy and oscars have to do with the original topic being source magazine and unfair recognition for some artist
U don't see what my ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
U don't see what my examples have to do with the topic? Well.. apart from the fact that YOU asked me to list them, I'm showing u that the same thing you faulted the source for can be seen in likes of grammys and oscar.
case of eminem's selection bias on 5 mics? grammys has been critized many times for the same thing. I suggest you watch Kanye's going off on the grammys. But that hasn't stopped grammy's relevance. Has it?
Now if you don't see the relevance, pay attention.. you're lagging off.
I agree entirely ...( 1 month ago by fireking345)
I agree entirely about grammys and oscars being bias in some perspective of their decisions.
Im just stressing the fact source is effected on a personal level, while grammys and oscars bias is probably based on genre...like a good comedy film is less likely to be voted for a oscar then a epic or something.
Just like when crash won over brokeback mountain which was controversal ... but it was not based on a personal level

coz we don't know the names of the pressing buttons behind the scenes of grammys and oscar don't mean shit like that source award shit don't go on behind closed doors. Come on dude.. if you look closely, you'll see... it's in everything.. even presidential elections.. that's life.
Buttom line.. regardless of controversy, Source magazine in their A-day was a force to recon with. Back when there was source award, Tupac and Biggie would go.. it was the shitz. Now things are different.
But when they gave ...( 1 month ago by experiment03)
But when they gave Dr Dre 5 mics for tha chronic... or when Ice Cube, Pac, and Biggie got 5 mics, they meant that shit, and tha street was feeling them. Now it's easy to make an argument about how irrelevant the source magazine is... but bottom line is Lil Kim was the first female to get 5 mics (that's the main reason for our argument). Whether source is relevant or not, she got five mics, and the streets respected that shit.
Why are you mad at me?
