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

Realizing we didn’t get a formal 3rd album is fukking wild.
They had a 3rd and 4th album.

They should have had more albums though.

The 2nd album is better. 1st one is dope but if you judge it by other Bad Boy stuff at the time it didn't hit.

I was caught up in the hype in High School. Actually playing through “Money, Power, Respect” today. It’s definitely an easier listen than “We are the Streetz” now

Been screaming this for years.

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

Both are ehh, tbh

We Are The Streets tho, that shyt was an experience, nigs around my age know. Idk what that shh!t sold but that album was 10x platinum in the hood, everybody was on that heavy, it's all you heard for a minute. The gas of it made people not even realize that it wasn't really that good, lol. The standouts are classic records tho..

First album has always been better.

Copped both the first days they dropped, and Money, Power & Respect still gets mad play today. I liked WATS too, but they seemed way more like themselves and more genuine on the first album. The second album always seemed like them spending too much time showing they were anti-Bad Boy and the aesthetic.
