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

[re'up]

"Clapping the D's, fukking with bytches who be wrapping the ki's"

It is a personal classic to me, though some has aged badly. I had the retail in 8th grade, rawest shyt at the time, I was the one kid who didn't give much of a fukk about Chronic 2001, but HAD to have the Lox album.

Lil' Kim was viewed in a different light. I ain't about to start a separate argument here. She was viewed differently because that verse was praised without the looming "Biggie wrote it" stigma attached to it. Her album was a critical flop, but still sold. Part of the reason, she dropped the ball is people expected "Quiet Storm" caliber songs and got an album that aimed towards Pop superstardom.

And I just pointed out how "Quiet Storm" inspired CNN's "Bang Bang". "But they the QB homies", well Queens is in NY and we're talking influence over the streets of NY. CNN is one of the more grittier groups out of NY.

her album didn't sell well either. it went gold.
and this was far from her 1st high-profile verse since biggie died.
only dumbasses viewed her in a different light.

CNN were mob deep's homies, and that's the best example you could come up with. LOL.

Now how exactly did WATS influence and impact Hip Hop? What artists did WATS influence?

The answers should've been in the OP.

AS WE'VE ALREADY STATED COUNTLESS TIMES, they influenced the vast majority of east coast street rap the past 20 years. and its no secret. most of these rappers are on-record, mentioning them. even their rivals.

the fact that you have even have to ask, means that you shouldn't be arguing.
but on top of that, this is like the 5th time I responded to this question from you.

That album still went platinum, but that's beside the point.

Kim's verse on "Quiet Storm" was one of the first verses of hers that couldn't be attributed to Biggie. Her other high profile appearances were from like '97.

CNN and Mobb being homies still doesn't inspire them to craft songs like each other. Most of the Queens rappers at that time were homies, but most of them had their own sound. They were homies with Nas too, but what songs from Reunion sound inspired by I Am... or Nastradamus.

and @JustCKing, I didn't give you permission to post in this thread again.

you still have an assignment to complete.

did you even go outside yet?

go from tripe platinum on your last album, then drop to 1x platinum in the sales-boom era. THATS A FLOP.
of course it wasn't attributed to biggie. SOMEBODY ELSE WROTE IT. and biggie had passed 2 1/2 years beforehand, and kim was around the whole time. this was no comeback story, and only a delusional dikkhead would view her in a different light.

again, who are all these rappers that were influenced by mobb deep, aside from their crew & affiliates?

So basically you have nothing.

You want people to play by your rules and you can't even adhere to them yourself. All you have is a vague argument, but want everybody else to list specific artists. If they had all this influence with WATS, it shouldn't be hard to present evidence of which artists were influenced by the album.

Kim doesn't have a triple platinun album to her name. Hardcore reached double platinum in like 2003. Proving yet again, you just post just to be posting.

Who wrote the verse? Where are the references? With no proof, it's speculation.

Even using the terms "aside from", you're admitting influence. What you're doing is trying to reach and still not listing the artists that WATS as an album influenced, thus supporting an argument of why it is a classic.

 

[JustCKing]

If WATS influenced the vast majority of East Coast street rap, it shouldn't be hard to pull up quote stating how WATS influenced the sound of their albums. And when you assert vast majority, I'm talkong it should be as easy to find as artists talking about Illmatic influencing them.

this is too much from somebody whose posts I already said im not honoring. I'm not reading all of this.

I told you to go outside and conduct that poll. THEN COME BACK.

youre still sitiing at home in the same stained underwear from 2 weeks ago.

go listen to beans on reservoir dogs.

go look up any interview from almost any east coast street rapper that came out in the past 20 years if theyre asked about influences, since you like to wait for someone to tell you what to think via media.

I shouldn't even have to answer this. SMH. this should be something that is common knowledge. if you don't know basic chit like this, you shouldn't even be commenting on anything LOX related.

the problem is, you dudes stay in the house, but insist on making comments about street movements. other people done already told you what it is, in this thread. but you choose to ignore them and pretend like its just me and I'm crazy. well, I'm gonna ignore you from here on out. don't even bother responding, cuz I'm not reading it.

Breh, "Reservoir Dogs" came out before WATS. And no I'm not looking anythong up. You made the statement, YOU prove it. Simple as that. You SHOULD answer this. This is YOUR thread and you're being challenged on your assertions. Instead of hiding behind other posters and telling everyone else to do your job, why don't you do it. Clearly debating isn't your thing.

If WATS is as influential as you're making it out to be, one wouldn't have to be Lox fan to know this. Therefore it isn't common knowledge.

doesn't matter. you said the LOX weren't influential period.

I already answered your question. and I don't have time for all that extra chit.

kick rocks nerd.

Now you're misquoting me. I stated that Murda Muzik was more influential than WATS:

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.

 

[Homeboy Runny-Ray]

Now you're misquoting me. I stated that Murda Muzik was more influential than WATS:

its not

and this chit is ridiculous.

leave me alone with this nonsense.

 

[JustCKing]

its not

and this chit is ridiculous.

stop tagging me with this nonsense.

Until you explain who was inspired or influenced by WATS then you have no case.

As long as I've posted on this, I don't think I've ever atted you, yet you're in here mentioning me.
