This is something taken from Davey DsFNV Newsletter which i think points out my argument on the east trying to build up a monopoly* I got this commentary that was sent to me from jailed rap star X-Raided.Apparently he was upset about the low ratings he received from The SourceMagazine.. Where they gave his album 'Unforgiven Vol 1 2 1/2 mics.. Here MrX-Raided points out what he sees as a glaring double standard.. Hit me backand let me know what you think of his commentary mailto:kingdave@sirius.com" I feel that we should have gotten 3 or 3 1/2 mics. If the writer of thereview felt we deserved 3 1/2, the editors should have given us 3 1/2. Thereview says the lyrics were "tight" and "clear" (thanks to the VerbalTechnician) and that I am a strong "lyricist" What they said about itabout being all about "killing, money, and women"... These are the same people who gave Jay-Z 4 1/2 mics for "Hard Knock Life" which is all about"mo money, mo cash, mo hoes" Obviosly they have never listened to DMX, who his as violent as X Raided ever was. DMX got 4 mics for an album that haslyrics such as "if you got a daughter older than 15 I' ma rape her/take herright there in front of you" and "my dick is bloody cause I fucked acorpse" That's 4 mic material? These are the same people who gave RassKas 3 mics and Xibit 3 1/2 mics for their 1998 albums... These are the same people who gave Silk the Shocker and C Murder 4 mics each on their 1999albums . These are the same people who gave Biggie 5 mics but didn't even bother to acknowledge 2 Pacs Makaveli album (which is an undeniable classic).On the X Raided album there are Gangsta tracks, songs about women, battle raps, and political tracks. It is not and never intended to be a commercial album (which is what the source expects everyone to create)This is a street album, created by a WEST coast street cat. Aint no baggyjeans, backpacks, Queensbridge accents, puff daddy remix, Jay-Z cameo or 212 area code. That alone cost me a mic and a half. So, basically thesource aint feeling me and I aint feeling them. The Roots got 4 mics for an album that should have got 5 and Juvenile got 4 for an album that shouldhave got 3. There is now way Juvenile and The Roots could be considered equals! But, unless you spend a million dollars in advertising in the Source they will screw your review. Ask Master P. No Limit spends millions yearly in the Source, and as a result no artist on No Limit has ever been given less than 3 1/2 mics.I declare war in 2000"X Raided----------------------------------- |
