Why Dont The Internets Acknowledge The CLASSIC "We Are The Streets" By THE LOX??

[beenz]

we are the streets is not even close to classic. the HORRIBLE production alone is makes it borderline unlistenable outside of like 3 songs. swizz beatz basically ruined this album.

 

[Xecutioner]

When it comes to Recognize, not the greatest Premo beat. But it's a perfect example of what JadaKiss said on DXL

"Y'all use beats for help; we help the beats"

 

[DatNkkaCutty]

A lot of you nggas are nerds and this album also came out before a lot of you nggas were cool....so opinions are invalid anyway....

 

[Benefited]

how am I exposing myself with the 2001 comments, aside from making you feel corny & hurting your little feelings?

there were like a handful of people that were already dissing nerds in this thread before I said anything about yall.

well, I remember the LOX getting heavy burn in southern states as well, and I'm not even the first person to mention that in this thread either. but if you insist on categorizing the lox as an east coast classic, then its whatever. AND THATS ALL I SAID. I didn't wave the proverbial white flag or any of that chit that youre trying to paint.

dr dre's 2001 album aint have it like that buddy.

and lol @ "all of you wannabe tough guys" YOU DONT KNOW ME. you obviously have something personal against the LOX, like they might've been amongst the favorite rappers of the people that used to bully you in school or something.

how did I fight alongside the LOX emotionally? I never even bought this album. I'm not even that big of a fan really. I'm just acknowledging a classic. LOL. obviously, YOURE THE ONE with the emotional investment here, buddy.

and I'm not from new York either, so you can dead the "only in new York" argument as well. I'm not even sure if new York was their #1 market.

Why wouldn't I be offended when someone tries to rewrite hiphop history by calling this a classic,and pretending the LOX had the streets on lock?
Or that someone like you would question my background based off not an undeniable classic,not an album like 2001,but no,"The Lox:We Are The Streets"

The Lox were not the streets,you are far from the streets. You definitely waved the white flag,when you made a concession by getting specefic and narrowing the impact down to the north and northeast after much backlash. You being from NY is irrelevent to what I said,I'm only pointing out the impact didn't reach much farther than the Lox already reached after their first album. But now here you are with sudden memories of it impacting the south lol.

A poster already said you will come up with all sorts of delusional and deluded memories to make your ridiculous opinions,seem less ridiculous. The proof he is not making that up is the very creation of this thread. As well as your delusional thoughts on 2001

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.

I'm sayin, Murda Muzik sounds like Maggot Brain compared to We are the streets

More of an East Coast cult street classic, most of the beats are dated as hell and sound like absolute garbage, don’t know how they thought these beats were acceptable

The L.O.X. first album aged much better, several beats from that album still get used today whether in samples, freestyles, cyphers, also their first round of solos also sound better...

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Blah, blah. More made up criteria from someone who doesn't know any better.

You made a state about the 90's and then followed with the 2000's were more organic. Now, nobody was even talking about now, so I don't even know how the statement was even relevant, yet I'm the one who needs Sylvan.

no the f*ck I did NOT.

this is the chit I'm talking about

get out of my thread handy-man.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

But it isn't a classic even by your own standards, you're making the argument but it isn't sticking, you have people refuting that this even their best album. Just so you know, I like this album a lot and I do think the album has classic songs but this wasn't even the better than And There Was X. If the streets were so buzzing why didn't this album push them into superstardom, why was the only rapper to really benefit (marginally) was Jada.

What rappers now, named this album as an influence?
Is this a top 50 hip-hop album of time?
Was it even the best album to come out in 2000?

how is it not a classic by my own standards? you don't even know what my standards are. LOL. you came in here claiming I was basing this off of favoritism.

just about every street rapper out of the east coast cites the LOX. if you even have to ask this question about their influence.........

since when is there a correlation between street buzz & superstardom??? you guys are funny.

is it top 50? I don't think so, but theres more than twice as many classic albums in rap history, so I don't see your point.
best album of 2000? yea, I think so.

AGAIN

I'm NOT from new York.
I'm not the first person that started mentioning southern states.
the person who tried to claim that I was making chit up(only after I put HIM on blast for doing so), was promptly corrected by another poster. and I'm sure you saw that chit as well.

I didn't even bother reading the rest. the fact that I have to continuously correct you on those 3 points alone, shows that youre wasting my time.

go the f*ck outside geek.

these dudes were never cool.

 

[JustCKing]

I was not promptly corrected by another posted. OP erroneously claimed Mobb Deep to be borderline old school by '99-'00, which is definitely not true. They had a heavily bootlegged album during that era. One of the most bootlegged albums of its era. It was the beginning of rampant bootlegging.

 

[King A.D 7]

This came out the same day as D’Angelo’s Voodoo... I bought ‘em both... Needless to say, one of them shyts is classic & it damn sure ain’t this.

 

[DeuceZ]

If you thought we wouldn't make it fck you

That winter music right there


Lotta (im)posters exposing themselves in here
