Do the Lox have any authentic street cred?

[LandryFieldsDad]

They move around Getty square in Yonkers which is a hellhole to this day

The Lox got real street cred. 50 said that "the only other hard n!ggas, come from Yonkers" line because he knows. There's a lot of studio gangstas in hip hop, The Lox ain't some of them.

 

[The Devil's Advocate]

what's funny is most people always think jada and styles are the tightest

but it was styles and sheek who knew each other first and was hustling together.. then jada came around and they are started rolling together and making music

so like most rappers... did they sell a little coke on the block... yea... did they need the scales that they use to weigh the whales with... fukk no

They did at one point.

I remember when they were rollin' with Vacant Lot and Dame Grease and his crew back in the late 90's. They'd always be up around 129th and Lenox. That block used to have this fish and chips spot where a lot of Harlem's hardest crews would roll through. LOX would be up there all the time, no security, just coolin'. Styles was always up there!! The streets loved these dudes at one point. They're older now, so I don't know if they're still runnin' around like they used to, but they definitely had street creed while they were more visible with the music.

kiss be everywhere, seen him in a pizza shop in riverdale and then like 3 days later seen him at a sneaker spot on 145. kiss really be out there

Yes they do. They can go to any hood and get love. I hate the term street cred though.

 

[FreshAIG]

Oh and people don't realize it but Styles has a couple of felons. He was locked up a few times way before the Lox got on.

a lot of rappers do. my barbershop is on the concourse maybe 3 blocks from fordham. its called "the spot" loaded lux came in there in the winter

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

You know styles had to be enraged to throw napkins at a nikka thou..like he wasn't even thinking straight..just picked up the closest thing to'em and tossed that shyt..luckily it wasn't a small child in the car wit'em that day

 

[fukkyalifestyle]

maybe he blew his nose with those napkins before he threw them

 

[FreshAIG]

I don't think they met there, because DMX was a celebrity in Yonkers for years and they both been down with Dee and Wah for years but I know he was definitely locked up with X. That part is true.
