If they have they've never shown it publicly.. some groups break up, beef, have members say things like "idk what's up with him" about another group member. Never even hinted at a drop of bad blood. No "oh im just doing my own thing now"

They have solo careers but never threw any type of subs at one another or anything regarding a split. They did solos just to do them not because they weren't Vining with eachother or couldn't get ahold of one of their group mates...

Has there ever been another mainstream group in hip hop that have stayed as solid as the lox?

Having to split a paycheck with other groups members kinda has to suck.

Also i can tell yall teenagers like the OP

You know how wierd it is to travel/tour work chill and spend all your time with the same group of grown ass men over 3/4 of the year every year for over 1 or 2 decades?!

Like that shyt might be cool in your late teens maybe early 20s but come on...
And you have to split show money smh publishing if you have it etc

How am I a teenager? I'm 32. Not sure what that has to do with anything.

And the lox have known eachother longer than 1 or 2 decades. They met at like age 12 and are in their late 40s

Then again bone thugs have also know eachother longer than I've been alive but have had tons of beef.

Definitely no mainstream group to hold it together like The Lox.

Also regarding what @Asicz saud about possible friction, I don’t think there’s anyway people can try to juggle friendship and business without friction for decades and decades.

The difference with The Lox is that none of it has ever escalated into any public outbursts, Te piracy break ups, heated interviews, etc.

If they had any drama they kept it quiet. And I respect that a lot.

@Asicz mentioned De La too. I didn’t think about them. And I mentioned MOP and Dilated Peoples.

But MOP is only a duo, and The Lox has been way more active with more music out there than any other group to never beef.

It’s definitely a special thing. The core trio of Griselda has done a good job so far. But the 3 of them are literally blood related, so I think that helps.
