thechanelmuse: Nas’s Illmatic awarded five mics by The Source.  “I must maintain this is one of the best hip-hop albums I have ever heard. Lyrically, the whole shit is on point. No cliched metaphors, no gimmicks. Never too abstract, never superficial.” - Shortie, The Source columnist  “Awarding records 5 mics – classic status – has always been, on some levels, troubling to me. I mean, we are not only saying that a particular piece of music is superior to everything that is out now, but it will be better than most things released in the future as well. I only gave one 5 under my watch and it went to Nas’s Illmatic.” - Reginald Dennis, former music editor of The Source View high resolution
