Mobb Deep wasn't borderline old school in 99 :prodigylol:
Why Dont The Internets Acknowledge The CLASSIC "We Are The Streets" By THE LOX??

I wasn't beating around anything. You're on the Internet talking about an album that is supposedly classic in the hood. I pointed out how ridiculous of an argument it is and used Doggystyle as an example of a classic that didn't warrant threads like this one.
In regard to 2001, you alone stand by that dumb argument that you don't have the proof to back. For starters, I never mentioned sales. Two, Eminem benefited from being on that album. If you want to bring sales into it though, 2001 sold more than SSLP and still outsells it to this day. How does Eminem fuel album while his own album wasn't selling like 2001?
There's people that aren't even from the West that hold that album in high regard from the mixing to the production to the overall album.
Dude will post anything at this point to support the BS, he's spewing.
How can Mobb Deep be old school and
1) they were coming off their most successful album
2) The Lox themselves aren't too far removed from the time Mobb first dropped an album.

the bolded is the bullchit that I'm talking about.
you brought up doggystyle in an attempt to switch the narrative after I backed your initial comment into a corner. our argument didn't have chit to do with the underlined. you were talking about alleged classic albums that I reject. doggystyle clearly isn't one of them.
I have plenty of proof to back my claim. I EVEN GAVE YOU EXAMPLES IN THE POST THAT YOURE QUOTING, YOU DIKKHEAD.
MMLP was the album that was out alongside 2001. not SSLP.
the sales are what generated the 2001 album's legacy.
as for the last comment, I used the term GENERALLY for a reason.
the rapping brought the album down. theres a reason why the instrumental was more popular than the actual album.

Nah. He's said that before.
Mobb dropped in 93. 95 of you don't count the first album. Either way a completely different climate.

mobb deep's legacy is rooted in the mid-90s.
we're talking 2000.
rap was more organic back then and the game moved rapidly.
they were on the back-end of their run. by the time they dropped their next album, they were washed.
the lox were around, but they didn't hit their stride yet. same way mobb deep was around before infamous, but nobody is gonna lump them in with the Onyx and naughty by natures, simply because they were around with "juvenile hell" when those groups were at the top.
Talk about someone arguing for the sake of arguing and thwn post some garbage like this and expect to be taken seriously. Then act hyper sensitive because people don't agree with what you're spewing.
Murda Muzik influenced a lot more than you're claiming We Are The Streets influenced. Who is really out here rapping like The Lox? Who crafted their albums around the same or similar sound as that album? My point with Mobb Deep is that they made a larger impact with their album than The Lox did with their's.
You shouldn't be belittling anyone. If you were actually capable of forming a legit argument, childish temper tantrums would be beneath you.

1.) you gotta be retarded
2.) what the hell did murda muzik influence??? I ASKED YOU THIS ALREADY. and instead of answering, you just repeat yourself. like I said, YOURE THE ONE THAT CANT STAND BEHIND YOUR STATEMENTS. don't try to put that chit on me homie. this is what I'm saying man. if this was real life, we would be scrapping right now.
3.) what impact did murda muzik make? they had a big remix single. other than that, their impact & influence is back in '95-96. even @mobbinfms had to break it down to you, and hes the biggest mobb deep fan on the planet.
4.) breh, I can tell you don't be around any real nikkas offline. you'd be dead by now. the fact that you got me talking down to you, says a lot because I'm considered to be too nice of a guy actually. no wonder you don't understand the impact of certain groups. youe out of the loop, and i'd advise that you stay away from the loop for your own safety. LOL.
Excuses.
You can't claim an album is a classic, then claim The Lox hadn't hit their stride.
LOL @ the 2000's being more organic. More BS to spew when you don't have a leg to stand on. If The Lox was a group you ain't like, you'd be in here talking about how they flopped even with the Interscope machine behind them.
Breh, The Lox were like three years removed from The Mobb breaking through with Infamous. Hardly old school. Mobb Deep was not old school by the top of 2000.
A different climate doesn't make Mobb Deep old school. A lot of artists from that era were still big during that era. If Mobb was old school, what are we calling Jay and Nas at that point.

ARE YOU STUPID?? OR ARE YOU JUST TRYING TO TWIST MY WORDS??
I was saying that the lox didn't hit their stride when they were on bad boy - which is what you were referring to when you were saying that the lox came out not too long after mobb deep.
are you saying that the early 2000s weren't more organic than what rap is now??
the lox didn't get a big push from interscope, outside of the doofy single. so no, even if I didn't like the LOX, I wouldn't say that.
I said that mobb deep was BORDERLINE old school. meaning they were on the downside, and not on the forefront of hip-hop anymore. same other legendary groups of their era - including wutang and my favorite group - bone thugs. I guess youre gonna accuse me of downplaying my favorite group next right?
Breh, you in here talking about scrapping over words on a screen. Then want to call someone retarded. Talking about if this was real life I'd be dead right now.
. You obviously take the Internet way more serious than it needs to be.

Nas career was on life-support during this time period actually.
jay-z was in his prime in terms of popularity. he didn't hit his stride career-wise until '98-99.
you really have no grasp for what was going on, outside of sales stats and chit.

no bro, its the way you conduct yourself.
if you conduct yourself like this in real life, regardless of the topic, you would get f*cked up around the wrong people.
which makes it all the more hilarious that youre trying to speak on a LOX album.
