Am I crazy for thinking Griselda better than The Lox?

[JuvenileHell]

This nikka @Mystic wanted some attention.

Amd he's gonna get it, right in the reputation

 

[Ty-Fife]

Im not downplaying it at all.

The craig mack/ biggie badboy of 94/95 wasnt the LOX era of bad boy. When BIG was alive LOX had next until big died and they needed a main artist anr puff came on the scene and mase got his spot. LOX were the street rap backbone of bad boy. Acting like they got a freebie by being with them is a lie. They helped make bad boy what it was.

Same shyt with ruff ryders. Lox members on the biggest songs of x first album. X started falling off after album 3, eve had a lil run but from their the LOX took over.

And by 03 it was really just D block and they were more popular in that era than they ever were with all the radio appearances and freestyles, beefing with roc and biggest rapper in world/g unit, and their solos spawning real hits.

say its a diff era and people consume differently all ya want. Griselda lacks the ability to make a hit in todays market. Plenty of street rappers are doing so; so why cant they? Idk why… but its obviously an issue and one that frustrates them because they all complain about their status in the game not being recognized… thats cause noone recognizes the music.

They DEFINITELY benefited off of Bay Boy nikkas was shytting out multi platinum albums, they had a backing. Big doing those songs with them made nikkas pay attention and then MPR with the DMX ally oop. What street nikkas are making hits today? The ones halfway singing and shyt? The only thing that frustrates Griselda are when they feel like they get slighted not being high enough of on lists by publications.

Gangster And A Gentleman, Walk Witt Me, Ghost In The Shell, Ghost In The Machine, The Green Ghost Project, Beloved, We Are The Streets, The Champ Is Here.

Lot of curated mixtapes in here but cool

Let’s play another game…post a Griselda song that the average nikka knows

Why yall gotta play the last ten years card?

Why are yall hiding from reality?

For as legendary as the Lox is...their projects don't back up their status.

Yall know this but yall gotta wave the flag in here. Yall know them albums don't cut it and damn sure didn't support them

lmaooooooooo

We hand picking shyt to make an argument lol… “take the good songs and …” nah man… the PROJECTS in totality ain’t there man… that’s literally a known thing in Rap.. you and I both know folks been WAITING for THAT Jada album and we haven’t gotten it.. matter of fact if you search my name on here and “Jada” I’m begging for it. Same with Fab… both them nikkas haven’t gave us THAT one… Fab is probably done.. but with how the game is now I feel like Jada can still do it.

Breh been rapping for 30 years and ain't gave you one project you can play straight through. Not one.

That tells you everything you need to know right there.

you comparing a groups year 25 material to a groups year 1 material. The fact their can even be a comparison shows a real problem in what yall saying. LOX old asses had no business shutting down dipset last year way they did and startjng a whole new thing with verzus. We all know LOX would killlllll griselda in a verzus so why yall playing make believe in here?

yea but neither do griseldas. Yall acting like griselda dropped cuban linx or something. More people care about that mediocre jada album than griseldas.

and for as ehh as those albums were, the big songs on them were always popular and shyt on griseldas singles. Like a big shyt that clogs the pipes. Jada/alc > griselda and alc.

25 albums deep not one song that could get play on radio its kinda weird no? And you wanna compare them to the head of nyc street rap during the biggest era for the genre?

like i said. LOX mobb deep wu tangs lil mans are just as good as griselda… the main groups? Foh.

whats next from you guys? Griseldas 25 albums in 10 years > wutangs 7 in 4? Dont jump the shark breh

because they are a niche group with a hypebeast fanbase who dont relate to the average listener… what i been saying.

 

[Pain and Promise]

nikkas choosing Griselda cause of their album cover art, I'm convinced smh

 

[torcher]

How is We Are The Streets not a classic? What's the criteria to consider a album classic?

A dam near flawless album. nikkaz be arguing against albums like Murda Muzik & Wu tang Forever being classics (both of which shyts on We Are The streets) yet your trying to call that a classic? Its a good album at best

The verzuz talk is cute but at the end of the day, I'm playing a Cam album before any one of Jada's and Diplomatic Immunity 1 holds up much better than any LOX album


I'm not sure why yall are stuck on popularity anyway when yall have let more than a few of them LOX albums brick when sales mattered

This is how a lot of arguments go on here. All types of things that can't be measured, relevance, impact, how many people where playing it at a bbq in 98, how many cars it was heard bumping from. It never gets anywhere, because at the end it's all personal memory and opinion.

Now nikkas acting like every Jada album is a classic in this bytch but ask this months ago and they'd laugh if anybody said Jada had 2 classics

Jada=no classic albums
Styles= at least one if not multiple
Sheek=maybe one and if not one, a much stronger candidate for a classic album that Jada
Benny=atleast one if not 2
Conway= atleast one if not 2
Westside=atleast one if not 2
