I don’t care if Dre got 20 contributing producers
I do care if Jay got more than 1 writer
"The Marshall Mathers LP" got a two in The Source and then they changed it. I see that one all the time when the Benzino beef gets brought up, but I've never ever seen that 2 mic review. Another poster around here (I forget who, sorry breh) linked me to a Young Zee album review in there that got a two and ended up being a punchline on some other Em song, but MMLP never got a two and I don't know why that gets parroted around as fact. That shyt got a 4 in the only review I know of that The Source wrote on it.
And if they did give it a 2, they damn sure wouldn't have changed it the next month
They only changed ratings on things years later after many of their 4-4.5 mic albums reached classic status without an initial 5 mic rating.

hell no. I've been reading the source since the early 90s and I have a very large collection dating back to the 90s until they went full Trap mode. The MMLP did NOT receive 2 mics. It got 4 and eminem was mad that it didn't get 5. Eminem never got 2 mics in the source. They interviewed him before the album dropped and put him on the cover. That kkkrakker started that beef because he wanted mfers to worship him. So many great ablums got 4 mics and the artists didn't care. He starts a full goddamn beef, backed by other kkkrakkers and wanna be kkkrackers(lost negroes) all because he got 4 mics."The Marshall Mathers LP" got a two in The Source and then they changed it.

It's always been weird as hell to me how that 2 mic story got ran with. I remember seeing MMLP get a 4, TES did too, and I remember him being mad about it thinking he deserved the 5. But that 2 just never happened and it still gets said here and there whenever that beef comes back up. I went looking for that 2 thinking that review would be hilarious, but I'll never find it cause it never happened. And it gets even funnier when it's reported that The Source changed it because of "fan backlash" like they had or would ever do that
Source didn't give a fukk. Drag-on was pissed at his 2.5 review and they didn't give a fukk

“Ayo Jay Z was really in them streets, he had shyt sewed up from Brooklyn to Maryland slanging them thangs. I know, my sister’s best friend’s cousin’s aunt’s hair stylist’s barber’s doorman used to cop weight from Jay back in 88’. Word up.”
A better question is why does ghetto America need a dope boy messiah turned billionaire?
The machine needs to push the idea that you can somehow beat the dope game designed to put minorities away in prison forever, strung out on your own supply or have us kill each other in our own neighborhoods where kids can’t even even outside to play because of the fukkery caused by that game. 
Pac called Jay out way before he was a household name.
Hawaiian Sophie to Felix Mitchell? 
Conveniently in the era when mafioso drug kingpin rap was on fire in NYC. Even if Jay did nickel and dime hustle a little bit, he’s a rap legend, not a street legend. 
That will never change.

In the particular era you're speaking of, Ross was not lyrically better than Dipset, particularly Cam or Juelz, he took a leap later. TI was about equal, to me choosing him is a matter of preference. Jeezy was absolutely not a better lyricist.
Absolutely not lol. And Graduation is Kanye's most important album IMO but I can live with it not being called classic. 808s in general is polarizing.Late Registration

808s & Heartbreaks

But if anyone less than 3 they just don't like Ye.
