Maturing is realizing Money Power Respect is a way better LOX album than We Are The Streets

[Awesome Wells]

Nah. MPR just off the cover alone

This is exactly what I meant by what I said in my post. HAHA!

I'm a day one fan, but these dudes were so insecure about their time on Bad Boy, they started doing wild over the top and forced sh*t to show how opposite things were gonna be on the second album. Somebody in art direction at Interscope told them they were so street that the artwork was gonna depict their actual faces as the street and these dudes gave it the green light.

Horrible cover.

I remember going to buy this as a kid back then, and being like WTF? Cover was beyond wild. HAHA!

MPR had one of the best storytelling songs imo. It wasn’t no Superman Thug bars, just storytelling




Styles came through the clutch at the end and spared no one. He’s always been a ride or die

OP was just not built like that.


He's straight tripping.


He probably don't have a scar on his face; but he would if he stepped TF out instead of being a good boy listening 2 grandma.



Cheek 2 chin phaggot.

Lol

By your logic, who you describing is none other than Jadakiss.

But the LOX not having a 3rd album is legit mindblowning to their fanbase.

its not mind blowing because they do have a 3rd album

When that come out? Wild late, past the prime of their (commercial) parts of their careers.

That's inexcusable.

Who the hell approved this?

Looks like a diamond pattern work station without the diamond pattern.

And yes their first album is better than We Are The Streets. Solid production, radio records and street records.

I get that they felt the wrath of being on Bad Boy at that time but that album was the difference between something mainstream or a MOP sounding project that 11 people listened to.

Wild shĩt is ALOT of those beats on Money Power Respect are tracks I could see BIG on — including If You Think Im Jiggy right along with that goofy as hook.

Also, Puff ate very well off of Jada’s ghostwriting back then. Copied his flows precisely.

Been screaming this for years.

“I Wanna Thank You” has become my favorite song off that album as an adult.

Who have you been screaming this at?

Just out on the streets at random passerbys?

Do they scream back?

If so what do they scream?

hilarious but to be fair, album covers in general are all funny, because they are just snapshots in time. The Money Power And Respect one isn't any cooler lol

but that's a great convo to imagine, so uhhh the album is called We Are The Streets...what are we doing here guys? You thinking faces in the concrete...like a literal thing

 

[up in here]

MPR has more diverse production but We Are The Streets is a better album.

 

[Deadman187]

Both albums were kinda mid for different reasons

Let's be real The Lox strength was always their mixtape work, not retail albums

We’d like to forget those last couple albums ever happened…


Lox only has two good albums.


They should have been dropping mad tapes together like Dipset did every other month

We know about the labels BS ing around and giving trouble to talented artists, but I know The LOX didnt fight hard enough to put out a 3rd album when everyone was fiending for it. Imagine them dropping a 3rd album back in 2004.....their legacies would be entirely different.
