Someone needs to give Source to the Source Magazine on some of those wack LP's.
But some are good classics though

yeah alot of those werent given 5 mics when first released but since The Source likes to dick ride they re-rated alot of their favorite MCs' albums...
*cough* Jigga *cough*.. If Jay Z had stole Nas' soul to write Bluprint it still wouldnt be a 5 Mic Classic...

i am not a 2pac fan but me against the world was one of the greatest albums of all time. biggie life after death was 3 mics and that is pushing it. but this is someone's opinion.
