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

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

I bumped We Are The Streets, Vol 2 Hard Knock Life and Puffy's Forever heavy when those came out...still some mediocre ass albums. liked some joints, laughed some off

what does this have to do with what you jumped in quoting me for?

This post proves you don't know what you're talking about.

1) The climate shifted before and after Murda Muzik dropped and it still remains their most successful album. You're not old school if you're attracting new listeners even AFTER a major shift. Old school is when you're struggling to stay relevant because your style is outdated and as a result you aren't attracting any new listeners. There isn't much demand for what you're supplying and all you got left is a dwindling fan base that grew up on your music while everyone else grew a part from it. Bordering old school doesn't mean you're dropping your biggest album after the guard changed.

2) There's receipts of Murda Muzik being bootlegged to the point of them having to change the album. Yes, Murda Muzik, Nas's I Am, and Dre's 2001 were a part of the first wave of albums that got widespread bootlegged due to tech saavy assistance from Napster.

3) I don't recall The Lox having leaks to the point where the label was strategically making moves to curtail the bootlegging. That album wasn't that big of a deal.

why are you still here?

1.) its their most successful album because it had their biggest hit, and it was in the midst of the sales-boom era. theres a reason why its not even the 2nd album that's brought up when people speak about them, even tho it sold the most.

2,) bootlegging was around long before napster. stay in your lane lil buddy.

3.) being leaked isn't a requirement for being bootlegged. I don't even know why I wasted time responding to this.

The way you are going back and forth.

clearly that's because ole boy is misquoting me all thru the thread. and he does this chit in every thread hes in.
and theres the other dude that was taking my posts out of context & pushing false narratives on the slick. somebody else shut him down tho, and I think hes done.

I guess I'm just supposed to sit here and curl up? what type of ish you on?

if youre gonna interject yourself, then you should be calling them out instead of me.
this place is bizarre. I feel like the token black guy on mtv's real world right now. I shouldn't be feeling like this on a "hip-hop" board.

none of that chit has anything to do with the topic or the LOX breh. we been off that.

My last statement. Don't argue with fools.

@Homeboy Runny-Ray this is probably the most impactful album that isn’t universally considered a classic. It got crazy play in VA and NC when it dropped. If you were on the east coast when this dropped and wasn’t a complete square then you know what it is. But Pitchfork and Complex don’t write anniversary articles about it so...

Lox are generally brushed off by critics though.

this is 100% true.

repped.

Stop being sensitive brah. It's just a mediocre album you don't get one cent from. Do ya job

 

[Tommy Sheppard]

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.
