So Allindstrom.com and The Source decided to get the brain trust together, stuff them all in The Source’s conference room, and press record as they let the opinions fly. So press play and listen to Combat Jack, Angela Yee, Jeff Sledge, Big D, and B. Dot all debate The Carter 4.

They talk about everything from their thoughts on the music, the sales and promotion of the album, and the rumors of record labels “fixing” the numbers. And of course they had to bring up the Watch The Throne vs Carter 4 topic. So sit back, relax, and take notes.
