5's are never 5's.

and it gets too scrutinized. besides, those ratings are lifestyle ratings. they award em on status and lifestyle. as much as i love aquemini---part of me is listening to them as "competition" so it makes it real hard for me to enjoy it as an album. all i see are 5s. same with blueprint same with scarface, et al.

4.5 is the same as a 5, but it's less scrutinizing.
