For the first time in 5+ yrs, The Source has officially crowned an album w/ "5 Mics"

[hrap-120]

Pay close attention to the bolded. THIS LADIES AND GENTLEMAN IS WHAT MY DEFINITION OF HATING IS. Notice how he brings up Ross' physique when discussing his MUSIC. Take note of how this guy admits that he HAS NOT heard Teflon Don yet he ASSUMES that the album is OVERHYPED and has only 2 good songs on it. He expects us however to believe that he can judge any music with an OBJECTIVE EAR. Just another example of the HYPROCRISY and DOUBLE STANDARDS exhibited in the online hiphop community. Are you related to Jamaica?

Ya'll take these album ratings, top rapper lists too seriously. I swear niggas say they dont care about shit like that but always catch mad feelings who the fuck cares?? I wouldnt care if Soulja Boy got 10 mics. It dont mean shit to ME since it aint MY opinion.

 

[maximus preme]

Awesome 300 word response.

Your hero Nassir allowed another man to sing on every track of that album, its a PROJECT album, not a solo- effort Fuck outta here. If you dont have a single song with just you on it it dosent qualify. Period. I mean damn you mean you couldn't come up with one song by your self and you call yourself a rapper?? Nas Lost. Sorry that shit is weak to me and unimpressive
Maybe you are easily impressed but not me You gotta come harder than that. I don't just get hypnotized by lyrics. Especially when we talking about giving someone the highest possible grade for an album.

you must be retarded. Distant Relatives is not a Nas album. It is a Nas and Damien marley album. They came together to form a group for one album. Please don't bother replying I hate talking to stupid.

Edit: Nas Lost but you still dick riding his diss style. That means you lost as well.

 

[Talk_Of_NY]

i ain't voting for none of these albums. My nigga spider loc dropping soon and its gonna be a hood classic nuff said.

G unit crip 4 life

Please refrain from mentioning Nas's genatalia...I am a straight male.

UMMM why are ou talking about A rap-reggae album, this is about rap albums, hipHop, not a hybird.
LiL Wayne's rock album didnt make the cut. Nas Lost.

Edit: You lost for biting Optimus Prime name style. That means you lost like Gnauze

I was waiting for you to reply with:

"you must be retarded. Teflon Don is not a Rick Ross album. It is a Rick Ross and industry album. They came together to form a group for one album. Please don't bother replying I hate talking to stupid."

and why do you keep saying Nas lost like I give a damn. Who the fuck doesn't know Nas lost and when did I said he didn't. All I said was you a dummy for thinking the Nas & Damien Marley album was a Nas album. And that Rick Ross can't get 5 mics when he couldn't carry an album with 11 tracks.

 

[D-Marco]

Goin wit the Roots. Great album. Em's would be 2nd choice.

FOH wit Ross. Teflon Don is decent, nuttin groundbreaking. Def not Drake wit that slow ass album. Kaoreoke(sp?) is the worst song Ive heard from him. The singin shit aint work like on So Far Gone

 

[BobOblah]

the roots or big boi would be the closest imo but none = 5 mics

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

theyre the closest, maybe 4.5

 

[just.might.b.ok]

smh@ eminem's stans takin over the poll. not sayin its a bad album, its just not a 5 mic album. not to be a bitch about it but the singin does annoys me after a while, wich is the main reason i didnt like drake's gay ass album.

how are the roots or em's groundbreaking?

 

[just.might.b.ok]

how are the roots or em's groundbreaking?

how's rickyross groundbreaking? everything he's doing has been done before bigger and better.

 

[Mvpbrodie93]

It worked, it has us talking about the source.

 

[maximus preme]

It worked, it has us talking about the source.

yeah we all lauce.

 

[D-Marco]

how are the roots or em's groundbreaking?

U must be a Ricky Ross fan. My condolences fam. Lol @ this nigga claiming number one and Em stompin his head in.

Have u heard either of those albums? Just listen to em

 

[StillDreaming]

I have teflon don and have heard it multiple times the album is good but not great. Definitely not 5 mics. A lot of the songs would have been better if Rick Ross wasn't on it. But hey that is just my opinion but that is what happens when there is a guest rapper on damn near every track on your album. Niggas start saying man this would have been hotter if so and so had more verses.

IMO the guest list on this album in no way OVERSHADOWS Ross. Let's explore this......

Free Mason- Ross more than held his own against Jay. The title is FREE MASON so why not put Jay on it, the conspiracy theorist WANTED this track, plus in the end the song is FIRE.... Shouldn't that be all that matters??

Tears of Joy- Ceelo provided nothing more than SOUL to this track. Ross carried the rest and did a damn good job. Bobby Seale on the rise......

MM3- since when has Ross NOT put other rappers on the maybach series??? It's the entire purpose of the track and guess what..... It's GOOD MUSIC

Live Fast Die Young- Kanye in VINTAGE FORM and Ross drops 2 great verses. "Im hot til the day ur day freezes"

Super High- Just another great collabo with Ross and a R&B singer on the hook

No.1- Again it's just DIDDY and Trey Songz. Diddy could easily be removed from this song and I wouldn't even notice

MC Hammer- Gucci actually hurts this song more than helps it.

BMF- Another BANGER Ross could have easily carried on his own.... Styles verse has grown on me but he is not needed, Ross just showing love

Aston Martin Music- Drake and Chrisette singing. Ross the only person RAPPING on this track

All the Money in the World- Again Raphael singin while Ross spittin......

So let's break it down........

Hook singers= John Legend, Ceelo, Trey Songz, Neyo, Raphael Saadiq, Chrisette Michelle, Drake, Eryka Badu

Rappers that are RAPPING- Jay Z, Jada, TI, Gucci, Kanye, and Styles

In the end it's a great product that's neither too long or too short and the collabos mostly ENHANCE the experience but Ross CARRIES the album. STOP BEING SO TECHNICAL AND JUST FEEL THE MUSIC.

TEFLON DON ALBUM OF THE YEAR

4 mics to me. Good album, not a classic album

TEFLON DON ALBUM OF THE YEAR

Free Mason would have been better if it was just Jay-z and John Legend. Maybach Music 3 Rick Ross didn't need to be on that track. He only on it cause its Maybach music. Usually when he comes on I done zoned out on the beat and aint really listening to him rapping. BMF lol Styles P murders Ross on that. P should have had two verses. MC Hammer, I will give you that. Gucci spit some garbage on that. The joint with Kanye, kanye out shined him. Look maybe its because I don't care much for Rick Ross as a rapper. I never have and probably never will. He is just beats and hooks to me. Teflon Don is good I give it 3.5 mics. I never said it sucked but you lose points for me when you can't carry an album. Especially when you only have 11 tracks.

This is my opinion you aint gonna change my mind on it. Its a good album it aint no classic. I listen to it. Great to smoke too and work out too but the shit aint no classic. I listen to it more than Thank Me Later for damn sure, aint played that in 3 months, but it don't deserve no 5 mics. Its just not that good.

 

[jrod44]

U must be a Ricky Ross fan. My condolences fam. Lol @ this nigga claiming number one and Em stompin his head in.

yeah you must be a jcole fan, my bad homey, you keep your windows up at red lights, embarassed at gettin laughed by the girls bumpin BMF. WHO DAT? D-Marco dats who.

I listened to Ems the other day great album for his supporters, just i cant get into it that much, dude is annoying to me after a bit, but glad he switched up his style a bit, he made a dope album and his followers came in droves, he made a shitty album, his followers came out in droves, so I cant call it.

The roots I just started listentin too because of yall, decent, dont think Ill ever listen to any of the songs ever again in my life, but very good album.

Now Rozay? I cant help but hear it, the songs are so infectious it makes me sick.

Why would I wanna change ur mind??? You have ur own opinion and I have mine. That's not my purpose with that long ass post. I'm simply presenting how I FEEL about the album. Name one CLASSIC album that everyone agrees on......

Illmatic is pretty much a universal classic unless you were born in 97 or something.

edit: Lol@ Bun B and Fat Joe getting no votes. I'll laugh my ass off if they give it to Fat Joe.

edit2: The fact that rick ross got niggas like Diddy and Gucci on his album fucking up some of the songs takes away from it as well.
