Classic Reviews : Dah Shinin in The Source (1995)

February 95 review of Smif N Wessun first album by one Joe Charles. You think the rating is a bit low ? Well, so did their label. Just after is a letter they send to the magazine to complain !

    Wow. . . Again–terribly misrated.

    Honestly, I think this album is BETTER than Enta Da Stage. . .it has a broader range of topics for most of the songs. . .

    3 mics is way too low. At least 4 mics in my opinion. But funny that the Boot Camp Clik doesn’t spell the album title right in their letter to The Source…

  4. the source is wack says:

    THE SOURCE CRITERIA IS A JOKE, THIS IS 5 MICS. WITH NO WEAKNESSES. DEFINITE BROOKLYN WINTER ALBUM

    Interesting thing: The Source later counted this as one of the Top 100 hip-hop albums of 1983-1998.

    How in the world could the writer of this Album Review get away with giving this LP 3 mics!!!??? That is retarted, what LP was he listenin to!! This is 4.5 or 5 mics easy with no hesitation!!! This is one of the best Hip-Hop LP’s of all-time, pure classic!

  7. random man. says:

    wow. just wow.
    my top 3 records ever got 3 mics in the day? lol.

    source tripped big time sometimes man.

    hands down one of the best hip hop albums of all time, this writer probably hypes artists that pay him well to promote their music.

    That reviewer prolly was a dead bwoy, and he don’t even know… ;-)

    Dah Shinin’ is one of the most absolute classic 90s hip-hop records ever made; that’s hardly a personal opinion but a known consensous. Who the fuck is Joe Charles, anyway? I disagree with essentially everything he stated in his review.
