So why can't we ever get at least somewhere close to that Lux now? even lux cyphers back then were crazy.. Was it cuz he was more hungrier back then or the age?

Daylyt and others talk about it but Lux was really a lost/street nikka back then. He really changed his entire life we're kinda lucky we get anything from him to be honest. He's a completely different human being.

Craziest thing was Miles was hot at the time. Coming off a classic performance with Rex...Lux was on some other shyt, no one is fukk in wit him. Remember he called out Game's ghostwriter after the battle
yea there was a few battles Lux had that was suppose to go down but feel through the Cys battle, the night Mook battled Young Hot, Lux was suppose to battle Joey Jihad, and another event he was suppose to battle Oun P (in that face freestyle where it's him outside with Goodz, Ars and Mysonne that's who he's dissing)

Lux still displays the same level of talent/lyricism, it's just directed in a different way. You're never going to get THAT Lux again, because of a lot of things (your own nostalgia, he moved on to a different phase in life, it's a different time/era, etc.), but sometimes y'all talk like Lux fell off or something lol. He's not any worse of a rapper, he's better really, it's just... different. :yeshrug:

Yeah thats true. Lux came back a different person and had a monumental classic battle against Calicoe, and had another one with Hollow. So its not like the new Lux is whack or anything.
