Correct.

I feel like freaky tah was the heart and soul of lb tho..his ad libs Def added so much flavor that I couldn't imagine listening to lost boys without

"Get a grip get a get a get a grip"

Yeah his adlibs was the truth. He made a lot if those songs hot. He didnt have to be the rapper but they was a team. I hate adlib threads mentioning nikkas like lil John, young Jeezy and waka flocka but a nikkas like tah gets overlooked.

I was debating on making a "Migos being influenced by the Lost Boyz" thread but I'm too lazy to gather all the examples. But Freaky Tah yelling in the background after Mr.Cheeks bars is the same shyt Migos do. Everyone is so focused on them "biting" lord infamous but they combined different elements from different nikkas.

He was the hype man for the Lost Boyz... he rarely rapped. Mr.Cheeks was the rapper, Tah was just on the tracks yelling in the background. People just loved him (definitely not because he was a nice rapper. So that stack bundles comparison is wayyy off) But LB as a collective got a lot of love because the were kind of the first nikkas to come out of Jamaica queens to make it big that were really in the streets like that. Lost Boyz was more than just a rap group. When I was in elementary and Jr high school it wasnt bloods or crips you was either LB or LF
Oh gotcha, now I see why they are such a big deal.

With that said what did LF mean? and which one were you lmao.
They had major success but they did the Nas route and thought being mainstream would of made them sellouts so they short changed their own career and ended up doing dumb shyt like going back to selling drugs at the exact same time when Puff literally wanted to sign them to Bad Boy. If you remember Puff was remixing their songs and he took them on Biggie's Ready To Die promo run but they didn't sign.
Well maybe they are right for not signing with Puff I mean look at Big, Shyne, Kim and G Dep. Even look at Craig Mack who was supposed to be larger than life. They did the right thing though even Nas realized he had to cater to the mainstream eventually and that's why he did stuff like Oochie Wally lol. It didn't work out best for Nas but that's another conversation lol.
There's loads of 134 Allstar mixtapes, but they were actual tapes from like 92/93-02 before 50 blew and took Yayo and Banks with him. You can't find these tapes unless someone digitises them but why would you wanna hear a teenage 50 Cent not emceeing properly (this was before he met JMJ). DJ Roughandz put together a last compilation mixtape of their "greatest hits" in 02/03 I think from his 96-01 mixtapes that eventually got 50 noticed and signed by Columbia Records. The rapper Trav and his older brother were apart of the group. Remember Slowbucks lol he was apart of the group too. 50 gave all of them jobs behind the scenes to take them off the streets.

Damn Fif was that awful back then? Also Trav older brother Hov used to rap lmao. Plus Slow from slow bucks lmao. If this is the case then Fif should be a lot tighter with all of them because they are like family. That sucks he fell out with many of them.

The first to blow was The Lost Boyz, then believe it or not Tony Yayo but he was dropped in 97, then some artists got signed to Murder Inc. Then it was 50's turn but this time he took everyone with him out of the remaining 134 Allstars with Banks and Yayo. Bang ‘Em Smurf & Domination were going to be the next up after G-Unit but you remember how they fukked it up lol.
Yeah I remember that lol. Domination and Bag Em Smurf had real beef with Fifty and I think it was them that went to Summer Jam and was throwing chairs at him.


If you are a fan of Lloyd Banks not sounding like he has a dikk down his throat and dope rhymes that you remember him for in G-Unit's early run then you will love their last mixtape. I think Banks is between 16-18 during this mixtape maybe younger but still dope.
.
Here's the last mixtape of 134 Allstars:
G Unit Family | Your Daily G Unit Addiction

Here's Tony Yayo and DJ Roughandz (Rao duo called Raggs 2 Riches) first single that didn't chart in the summer of 1996.

TRU Colors Feat. Tony Yayo & DJ Roughandz (of Raggs 2 Riches)


DJ Roughandz/Sha Manteca/Fat Sha are the same person. Sha Money XL was the manager different people.


Pause on what you said about Banks lmao, I got to hear this tape though. Thanks for sharing it.

Yayo sounded dope on that song you shared too and that hook is hard as hell. Yayo can really bring it when he wants which is probably why he got signed but it sucks he got dropped back then lol.
