Maturing is realizing Money Power Respect is a way better LOX album than We Are The Streets

[Devil Plisken…CMS]

No

Realizing we didn’t get a formal 3rd album is fukking wild.

They had a 3rd and 4th album.

They should have had more albums though.

The 2nd album is better. 1st one is dope but if you judge it by other Bad Boy stuff at the time it didn't hit.

I was caught up in the hype in High School. Actually playing through “Money, Power, Respect” today. It’s definitely an easier listen than “We are the Streetz” now

The production on MPR is way below the top Bad Boy albums and even Life Story/Shyne

Had to put on mpr just now tbh. That beat tough as fukk! ... but no.

 

[Whips-n-Chains]

I don't like the production on We Are the Streets (I hate swizz beatz), so MPR wins out based on that.

I listen to Lox mixtape cuts more than their albums anyway.

 

[dagodmcizme]

Been screaming this for years.

“I Wanna Thank You” has become my favorite song off that album as an adult.

 

[Pop123]

Both are ehh, tbh

We Are The Streets tho, that shyt was an experience, nigs around my age know. Idk what that shh!t sold but that album was 10x platinum in the hood, everybody was on that heavy, it's all you heard for a minute. The gas of it made people not even realize that it wasn't really that good, lol. The standouts are classic records tho..

 

[DaHNIC82]

No the fukk it isn't

 

[Neuromancer]

Only thing Money Power Respect has over We Are the Streets is "All for the Love".

Right

 

[EastsideRio]

Too many Mad Rapper skits

 

[C-Styles]

hands down it is, but "Recognize" sh*ts on anything MPR has

 

[Awesome Wells]

First album has always been better.

Copped both the first days they dropped, and Money, Power & Respect still gets mad play today. I liked WATS too, but they seemed way more like themselves and more genuine on the first album. The second album always seemed like them spending too much time showing they were anti-Bad Boy and the aesthetic.

Nah. MPR just off the cover alone
