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

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Infamy wasn't Mobb's biggest album, but still successful. Mobb didn't border on old school until they started hopping on trends first with crunk and outsourcing their production to the hit makers of the time i.e. Kanye produced "Throw Your Hands" and they still didn't get results. I like the album, but it was their worst one until Blood Money.

Yes, there were teens at the time that became Mobb fans on the strength of "Quiet Storm" and "It's Mine". And if we really talking about albums setting up solos, Murda Muzik set up Prodigy especially coming off the original "Quiet Storm".

mobb deep hopped on those trends later on, because they were already done.

people like yourself are always 2 albums behind on everything, because youre out the loop.

I'm speaking in general. and I'm specifically talking about the urban base in general. I'm not saying that they didn't pick up ANY teenage fans. I'm saying that in general, they weren't poppin on that level with the young hood crowd. comparing their buzz to the LOX by that point is beyond laughable.

most of mobb deep's newer fans, they got thru the internet crowds, as they were one of the first groups to intentionally take advantage of the internet. the internet is basically the only place where I would go to talk about their new stuff at that point.

You are rewriting history. Nobody in 1999 looked at Mobb Deep as "borderline old school".

The Lox at the time were not a hit with the urban base like that either. Proof of that is having two if the biggest producers in Urban music lace your album and it still taking a backseat to a lot of the other albums that were out at the time.

Again, you're using this Internet argument. Breh, you're arguing against yourself at this point. This is what I mean by the trivial BS you be bringing up. You bolster this whole hood schtick, but then start going off about how so and so was only hit on the Internet, which leads me to believe forums are your sole outlet for discussing music, which actually explains why you go so hard for and againsy certain albums and artists.

don't tell me how to conduct my threads.
my threads do numbers, while I cant think of one thread that you've ever made.

I'm not even from new York. I see what youre trying to do. trying to minimize them into a local phenomenon. youre funny.

I didn't concede to chit. and I corrected you and the other dude on this multiple times already.
I said, if you consider it an east coast classic, that fair, but it got heavy play outside of the east coast too. I didn't agree to it being just an east coast classic or anything of that nature. so stop trying to force the narrative that I did.

I have made like less than 10 threads the whole time I've been on this site.

Anybody can make threads that do numbers. All it takes is making a bold statement, leaving it open ended, and then proceed to go back and forth most if not everyone who disagrees with the premise.

Most of the threads you create usually have most of the posters disagreeing with you anyway. You get mad and multi-quote everybody and start whining about how they "weren't around", they are "dweebs, dorks, (insert corny elementary school insult)", they "don't go outside" etc. Then you'll formulate some bogus justification to back an even more bogus claim. You get hit with facts and then you again stary with insults. That's the gist of every thread you make.

@JustCKing

I didn't even bother reading past the 1st line.

you just like to argue, even when you know you have no clue what youre talking about.

just do this; whenever you decide to actually leave your house, go to any hood and poll people under say - 35.
and ask them if its mobb deep or the lox
THE LOX will win in a mudslide. it wont even be close.

havoc himself will probably tell you that mobb deep would get blown out in a 35 & under poll.

stop painting funny pictures.

we're gonna act like most people are disagreeing with this thread? just because I'm the only person that you choose to argue with, it doesn't mean that all the other posters in agreement don't exist.

and don't act like I was the first or second or third person in this thread to bring up how most people who disagree are probably nerds. and don't act like there weren't a bunch of other people saying the same chit afterwards. all thru this thread. just because youre scared to reply to them, don't act like their posts don't exist.

and for the record, if I use terms like "you weren't around" or "dweebs, dorks, etc", ITS BECAUSE IT ACTUALLY APPLIES TO YOU. I don't say this chit in every thread, and I don't say it to everyone.

and I go in extra hard with the insults & disrespect AFTER you start disrespecting me by trying to put words in my mouth & chit. and I still go easy on you actually, seeing that youre really a nice guy/girl. i'd go in way harder, if you were a jerk.

I don't even know why youre mad about this. cuz in real life, people like you get popped in the mouth or choked out and chit. that's why youre relegated to the internet. its your safe-haven.

I'm not painting pictures. These are facts. I said most people disagreed with the premise of this thread. Even the people that said it wasn't a classic. The posters that disagree outweigh the ones that agreed.

I don't reply to everyone I disagree with. I made a statement in regard to such comments and that was that. I addressed you, the OP.

You're usually the first to throw shots. Grown men aren't using dweeb and dork. They also aren't getting sensitive over words on a screen.

Offline, you aren't popping anything. This is your haven. Its the only way you can comfortably attempt to rewrite history because you would be afraid to spew sone of this garbage offline. That's why "Internets" is emphasized in the the thread title. Narratives created on the "Internets" don't hold weight offline, which is why a lot of online arguments don't take place offline because a lot of them aren't THAT serious. Like this whole infatuation of claiming something as classic isn't as serious offline. Things like that go without saying.

Album so raw, the surgeon general needs to be on the shyt instead of the parental sticker. I can't even bump the album without having demonic thoughts.

stop quoting me. I told you what to do. get out the house and conduct your poll.

and if youre too scared to do that, then try arguing with some of the other people who are in agreement with the thread. stop quoting me. I'm done with you.

and lol @ the last paragraph. you can try to flip it all you want, but it doesn't apply to me. this internet chit is really it for you. anybody that's actually active, can easily tell that you don't go nowhere. stay n your lane. we go thru this in EVERY thread. if you don't want your feelings hurt, then stay n your lane. simple as that.

It's dumb logic like this that further let's me know you live by the Internet. Nobody's doing a poll offline. If it's that serious, why didn't

1) you add a poll to the thread whether WATS is a classic

2) Make a poll on here: Lox vs. Mobb with the condition that only < age 35 can vote.

You're really in here talking about going out and polling people about The Lox and Mobb Deep in 2018.

why would I make a poll?
that's not the premise of this thread, genius.

and the majority here isnt the LOX target audience.

go head and start asking people. put your coat on.... or your jacket. it might not be that cold down there. go head and get active.

whats so funny about that?

you don't get into discussions about legendary rappers in real life?

the self-exposal is real in here.

tell me more, lil buddy.

A classic isn't conditioned on someone being a fan of that artist. That's one of the things that make something a classic. Even if someone isn't a fan of the artist, the work is so dope, that it's undeniable even after they are no longer relevant.

 

[torcher]

We are the Streets is far from classic and 3.5 at best. I never understood the Lox hype. Outside of a Gangsta and a Gentlemen their catalog as a group and solo has been full of mediocre albums. I think comparing the Lox to Mobb Deep is laughable too. Mobb Deeps 3rd best album (Murda Musik) is better then We Are the Streets and I don't know if I would call that a classic

what the f*ck are you talking about?

youre changing the subject because youre scared to go outside.

go do the poll. mobb deep or LOX.
