X also got at on that track trina moe.....when they had they little beef
"3 months 3 n!ggaz to go gold"

yep and puff said some chit like "they just went gold, but they went platinum with me".

we are talking the time people were buying albums en masse. everything ruff ryders branded went platinum within 6 months.

it took money power respect one year to reach plat and it was on bad boy with appearences by puffy, BIG, mase and jayz. lox did those sales in half that time with we are streets album, it was critically acclaimed for that alone.

let's not also forget how the term "ryde or die" was ultmately popularized by the single feat eve. they were the 2nd most popular act on the label under X.

even drags album went gold and that sh!t was horrendous.

Eve was the 2nd biggest act on ruff ryders. shes like a household name.

is it possible you are a traveler of times and mixed up two different dimensions? one where the LOX were greater under-achievers then in our timeline?

seriously it went plat when it came out. all ruff ryders releases between 99-2002 went platinum with the xception of drag who went gold.

well when did it go platinum then?

it has nothing to do with them under-achieving at all. they were the hottest thing on the east coast at the time.everybody was bumpin it, but they didnt actually support it.

"trust me dog, the thugs'll dub it" - jada.

i have a dubbed copy of this album myself.:lolbron: looking back, you cant be mad at jada for making all those garbage commercial songs for his solo albums.

Blood Presure = :ooh:

F*ck you = :ooh:

Breathe Easy = :ooh:

most of the beats tho, like most Lox related albums, were so throwaway it's hard to call the sh!t good, let alone "classic"..

yup those 3 were the real hard cuts

everything else suffered from mediocre/ugly Swizz/Timbo/Premo beats

money power respect didn't have any songs with mase, big, or jay-z. dmx and lil kim were the only notable guest.
