Is "We Are The Streets" by The LOX Swizz Beat's magnum opus

Thoughts

 

[Controversy]

I'm listening now on my way to work this morning

Kiss & Styles went crazy on their verses throughout the whole album

But these Casio Swizz beats are fkn terrible

 

[JustCKing]

Ryde or Die Vol. 1 is Swizz's best work in regard to albums he's helmed.

Half of Ryde or Die was P Killa Trackz

Stop it 5!

WATS is a million times harder than MPR.

It’s like they had something to prove this album.

Hard to say that when PK and Preemo had the best beats on the album imo

 

[THE 101]

Most of them beats have aged like milk

 

[YourMajesty]

Probably his first album Ghetto Stories

 

[DMGAINGREEN]

Flesh Of My Flesh Blood Of My Blood is the best of his early sound to me personally .. and I already made a thread on this but Money Power Respect aged way better than We Are The Streets

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I hate swizz beats, save for like 12 songs.

Listening to it this morning in hindsight, really made me realize how much they influenced Beans & the Prop

Them nikkas bar structure & flow was ahead of their time

Put their verses over Bink, Just, Rockwilder, Preemo, and ye....and you're talking about one of the best rap group albums ever

 

[Deadman187]

Half of Ryde or Die was P Killa Trackz

PK only did one song on that album

 

[Mike Wins]

This was an album everyone wanted to like but just wasn't that good, mainly due to Swizz

It also underperformed to the extent they never did another group album with Ruff Ryders and Jada was right back on the commercial wave for his solo. KTGG was more commercial than Black Rob's album and sold less

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Tough call

I'm torn between Ride or Die vol 2 and WATS as Swizz blacked the hell out on both jawns. I remember being blown away of how nasty Vol 2 was and to this very day, the album gets spins.

Meanwhile, Swizz was a menace on WATS especially this jawn
