American radio personality, podcaster and journalist, Minya Oh discusses her five mic review of Nas's album ILLMATIC. The Source magazine reviewed and rated rap albums stringently and awarded up to five Mics, its equivalent to stars. In 1994, when the magazine published its review of Illmatic, The Source had given out only six 5 Mic ratings in its six-year history - the last one had been more than two years previous and gone to The Low End Theory. A 5 Mic review meant that you had made a classic album. The Source's 5 Mic review of Illmatic was written by Minya Oh under her pen name, Shortie.
