The Source Gives Kanye West 5 Mics
Thursday, December 02 2010 2:22 PM EST | Posted by: B.Dot | Posted in: Blog, Newsstand StanBun B’s got some company. In the December/January issue of The Source, the magazine awarded Kanye’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy with a classic 5 mic rating. Read the full review when the issue hits on newsstands December 14th.





Disrespectful views at Tha Kang, T.I.? Nah, Ms. Banks you're out of line. Yeah Harris' Aussie ain't that dope but neither are you. I just saw you at Coachella and I wasn't impressed. You got the look, the swag, the tough talk but where are the tunes? "212" is alright but that's where it stops. According to Jay-Z's old board rules: You have no right to diss Tip. Look in the mirror and ask yourself: How many classic albums have you created? Are you on anyone's top 10 MCs list? Do you have any hardware on your walls, ma? Cliff is right. Keep him out of the girlfight. You're heavy in these tweets, but I hope you're finding time to create music that backs up your buzz. Or you'll soon be begone like Kreayshawn. You young ladies today bore me. *Turns up Mia X CD* No Limit forever!
The best things in life are free, but hopping on Hov's press conference stage uninvited is gon cost cha. Whatcha did was wrong! ⎯B.Dot
No surprise there.
Well deserved, The Source got it right this time.
NICE!
Let’s GO!
NEW REGIME TAKEOVER!
Love me sum Kanye. . . I see Source really making a comeback!
You rock bro, you’re album is AWESOME!
Does 5 mics even matter to anyone anymore? Imean its a cool rating to have, but it aint even as coveted as it once was.
Happy Hanukkah Kanye!
HA!
I’m not hating but if rick ross and wiz khalifa were in a group it would be Fat&Skinny. I think that would be kinda dope. Maybe? Ha!!
THE SOURCE GAVE KANYE WEST 5 MIC, you def deserve it bro. Devil in a red dress is a DOPE ASS TRACK. LEGEND !!!!!
ah fukk i thought i wudnt have to see this cover eva again…!!
@ Word:
Who cares about your opinion. Keep being great, at being a loser! Ha!
If Kanye gets 5, Em shoult get 100.
That’s crazy!!! Im feelin’ the five mics….
I GETS THIS MAKES UP FOR THAT WACK COVER !!
Im so happy The Source is on point with this hip-hop shit cuz cats been losing focus on who’s hot and who’s hear for the short ride way to go Source im now watching you guys close
It said suspended license not that he didn’t have one, damn homie relax
@fuk waka:
What did you want to see, 50 Cent and “Do jah – Boy” in Homo-Erotic poses ?!
F.O.H. b …
KANYE WEST / THE SOURCE
5 MIC ARTIST
ENUFF SAID
Now THAT makes sense! Can’t stop playing the album. Props Source. Cover’s kinda hot too
Long Live Kanye WEST get it get it …. thx Source
About right must be honest still think he’s an asshole tho
Makes perfect sense. Can’t stop playing that album. Props Source. Cover’s kinda hot too
Well deserved. End of “blame game” mentions The Source, SO obviously got relevance to Mr. West. The only review that matters
@ Eyoo Please go post Em stan comments on the Shady/G-Unit forum at the “other guys” site…Congrats Ye…They got this one right.
The sauce ain’t what it once was
Congrats to Kanye I guess, but the source ratings lost their credibity years ago
Source Ratings are of equal value to an MTV award, which means their worthless
@ Mitch 3k: Shut yo blogging-bitch-ass-ness ass up!
Eminem stans we be butt hurt, recovery was garbage
Bun b DID NOT EARN 5 Mics it was a good album tho kanye did Bun and kanye should do a song together called “10 mics”
@eyoo,
negative.
fuck the source ! a 5 Mic rating doesn’t mean nearly as much today as it did
nice album but not great ( just an opinion stans)
MBDTF aint ä classic im a kanye fan and i said that if its classic then hip hop is dead check out the lyrical content of the songs from dark fantasy to the last and it doesnt cover any specific subject matter go and hear Blueprint or Black album and know what classic is…..kanye just found a blend btn rap n his pop fans but that dønt make the album classic u cant listen to the album twice without skiping
4 1/2 or 5 means you Biggie, Jigga, Na, or Benzino
No props for 5 mics if anything this made it worst 2 people gettin it in one year.. magazine lost it’s journalistic integrity long time ago don’t dilute the mics tryin to get back poppin
SO BUN B ALBUM WAS AS GOOD AS KANYE’S???? HA!!!! THE “SAUCE” IS A FUCKIN’ JOKE!!!!
DON’T HATE ON MY OPINION!!!!
Kanye deserves that! Love the album!
the source hasn’t been the same for years…..
Looks like The Source is puttin’ the lames on notice for the new year! Looks good Source. Keep it up! And too the cornball, who commented like it’s not possible for more than one person to get 5mics in one year…you can’t deny great music, get off the short yellow bus, Wanksta! One.
@Ha!
Real mature my nigga! lol keep being acting your shoe size!
The Source been fell off. 5 mics from The Source in 2010 is worth about as much as 5 strips of shit tickets.
@Miss Mistress
You exactly Kanyes demographic….A Female. You and him should get together, you can share clothes, Kangay loves wearing him some womens Blouses and Dressess, Y’all seen him at the Parade, if i ant no better i woulda thought it was the gay pride parade.
I actually enjoyed Kanye’s album which is weird because I usually need pure lyricism. Kanye has this prescence on the mic that helps you enjoy him
The Source is still in print?
the source? fuck outta here
How many features? 14? Lol more features = more mics I guess smh!
Apparently, the writer gave it 4.5 but the mag went behind his back and changed it to 5. Im not saying it doesnt deserve a 5 mic rating (as if it matters) but it seems the Source is still…well the Source.
SN: YN, how’s that Interscope money?!
COSIGN JERZZZ
KANYE HAS MORE PEROIDS A DAY THEN WOMEN HAVE A YEAR… GUYS A FUCKING EMOTIONAL CLOWN ALWAYS LOOKING TO SAY SOME DUMB SHIT THEN COMPLAIN EVERYONE HATES HIM
no way do i think his album was anywhere near college dropout
that is the real classic
THE PRODUCTION OF THE ALBUM ALONE IS BEYOND
CONGRATULATIONS HOMIE
His album fucking sucked.
Morons.
