Why did Fat Joe have beef with Ice Cube?
Anybody know?
To where, that's damn-near threadworthy on its own. I never really knew about that, I know Cube had beef with King Sun back in the day, but never heard about no Fat Joe beef.....

The Kam quote is funny, cause they didn't mind givin' his homie Cube over 3 mics (in fact he got a 5 and a 4.5 for his first two albums)... Pac got more than 3, Snoop got more than 3, Dre got more than 3, Too Short got more than 3, Eiht got more than 3, Cypress Hill got more than 3, and I could go on... KAM just didn't get more than 3. That wasn't the ceiling for Cali as a whole. shyt, I can honestly say there were some artists I wouldn't have checked for if I didn't read that they were dope in the Source. They bigged up E-40 for years and I still can't figure THAT shyt out.
The Source started off leaning more towards NY cause everyone there was from the East Coast and the mag was based there, but that wasn't the case by like '93 or so. There were writers from everywhere by then. And even prior to that, there was always props given to artists outside the East. Even before they had an awards show, they used to just give them out in the mag, and the '91 issue had Cube as artist of the year, NWA as album of the year, and Geto Boys with the single of the year. So... where's the NY bias?
Amerikkkaz most wanted was the ONLY west coast album to get 5 mics the first time around
the ONLY
its an absolute fact that the NY media was hating on the west hard

Pioneer Award: Run DMC
I'm only quoting myself cause I'm still seeing people saying "It was a Bad Boy love fest". Look these winner, this had to be one of the most unbias spread love to everyone awards show in Hip Hop History. Easy E getting a Lifetime Achievement award and Run DMC getting a Pioneer award on the same show. Bad Boy won a lot cause they the hottest album and singles out at the time period. Anyone saying otherwise wasn't there. But The Source Awards did spread love.
They were wrong from booing Outkast. But Suge was wrong for started stuff and Snoop too for talkin sh!t. Even though nobody can't find the video. Puffy was the MAIN ONE trying to squash it at the show and bring peace. But yes the 1995 Source Awards was the greatest rap award show of all time. Actually the Source Awards of the 90's period were all pretty dope. I miss the Source Awards but the magazine ain't the same anymore and it doesn't have the credibility as it did during this era. I mean we called it "The Hip Hop Bible" for a reason.

Rich Takin Ova Fo Now!
& u were right bout '94 fo sho!
They originally gave doggystyle 4 mics, when everybody knows that's a classic, if that duznt show their bias at tha time (1993) I don't know wut to tell you, they re-rated it years later as 5 mics to save face
Thee only west coast album in tha source history that received 5 mics originally wuz Amerikkkas Most Wanted, and that wuz most likely becuz tha east coast bomb squad production
really? That's tha only west coast album to receive 5 mics (originally) from that piece of shyt magazine, and you surprised Cali didnt respect them? We don't need y'all funky ass magazine to tell us our shyt is dope, muthafukka we tha ones who made rap go multi platinum plus, every time we cuss!
Y'all stay on that
shyt about them mics.Here's some more albums that didn't originally get 5 mics: 36 Chambers, Ready To Die, OB4CL, The Infamous, Reasonable Doubt... EPMD never got 5, GangStarr never got a 5, nobody from BootCamp ever got 5... see where I'm goin'?
There was a number of NY albums that are generally considered classic that didn't get 5 mics, but I never see anyone cryin' about that. All I see is people from Cali swearing it had to be a bias toward them because their shyt didn't get the 5. For a long time, they were barely giving ANYONE the 5. And even the 5 for Illmatic was one the staff wasn't completely in agreement about, so... where's the bias??

Yo I must have missed this interview. So let me get this straight. Snoop just said Biggie could easily got Pac Lyrically but choose not to? Isn't that we many of us on the Eastcoast have been saying for 15 years?
