That's not me talking. That's the name of one of Lil Kim's singles.
For some reason, The Source saw fit to grant Ms. Jones five mics.
Let me show you that again.
Five
Mics
Meaning = Hip-Hop Classic.
You can click those pics to blow them up and read them for yourselves.
"Shut Up Bitch!" is cool hot.
"Lighters" is okay.
Five mics?
Shut up Source!
Don't get me wrong. Kim usually comes thru and nobody gives her credit.
But THAT much credit?
This is a woman who's had albums written by B.I.G. and Cam.
Those albums didn't get pub.
A woman gettin five mics?
No disrespect to the ladies but only a few have even come near such credit.
If MC Lyte came back with a vengeance, I might believe five mics.
If The Source went back and gave The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill five mics, I wouldn't flinch.
But Kim?
The Source's record rating system has been out of wack for a while.
Politics and bullshit. Worse than payola & radio.
But this borders on absurdity.
I remember when The Source was relevant.
But, since they've been preoccupied with Em, they've slipped the past few years.
Now, I doubt I'll be buying another issue but we'll wait on the albums release before passing judgement.
Still, their journalistic integrity leaves a lot to be desired.
My how things change.
Have a listen for yourself though.
"Lighters"
"Shut Up Bitch"

And this joint was really made Black Moon and the whole Beatminerz crew official in my eyes. When the "I Gotcha Opin" remix came out on mixtapes, heads was turning. "Six Feet Deep" and "Murder MC's" were straight vinyl rarities that were hard for even the best crate cats to find. To finally have these cuts assembled on a cd was a godsend. So to see this pop up, I had to grab it and pass it along.
