juvenile did 4 & 1 is what I thought. Also why do you keep using bullshyt comparisons like kendrick lamar vs what the hot boys did. That's supposed to be parallel to me comparing nikkas to the crew they were in. shyt I said m makes PERFECT sense. And I'd still love any lox defender to name the memorable songs from WATS.hot boy $ had shoot first,hot girl, we on fire,help,tues thu etc. name them songs nikka. You can't so you'll make bull shyt statements."the whole first side"its not about the hot boys having 1 major album. the point is, guerrilla warfare didnt do huge numbers. it went one times platinum, just like the LOX' debut. the lox album prolly sold more actually. also, do remember that the lox' major markets are bootleg capitals.
and by your logic, it would be a flop because juvenile was selling 5x and 2x by himself at the time. everything else that came out of that camp capped off at 1x tops. now do you see how ridiculous the sales argument is? could you imagine somebody telling you that kendrick lamar had more impact on hip-hop than the hot boys? you'd probably have a stroke, and rightfully so.
you say YOU never heard nobody bumpin the lox, but youre conveniently ignoring people from the hot boys' own town telling you that the lox was poppin.

Ok now i'm seeing 5 for juvenile but everything else seems to be 1.
On here http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cash_Money_Records_discography#Platinum_albums is says they didnt have another multplat album till 2005.
Meanwhile WATS went gold in a time frame that their OWN crew just sold 5,3,4,2 and even a compilation did a millie. Makes sense to me. They flopped

What were the popular songs off their second album We are the streets? And for the record,EVERYONE loved money power respect (the song) including myself. Would of been better if it was just X and Kim though

fukk you
Wild out
Blood pressure
Y'all fukked up now
U told me
I dont get the lox hate, that made really good music as a group and put out some good to great solo albums(styles first bring great)
And this survived to this day and is respected by that peers and younger gen rappers(shyt styles has a ep wit spitta) and Jada always getting features cause he is respected heavy

So those songs popping like the shyt i named? lol.
So they made really good music? What do you think was the disconnect as to why they were the waek links in both the big time camps theye were in?

Of course they wasn't popping as much down here, this hot boys capitol my g
And yea they made really good music, they disconnect IMO was trying to connect to a bunch of different people, plus outside of money power respect none of they singles crossed over, I view them like I view beanie sigel, great rappers but a lil to much on the rough side to cross over. And that not to shyt on them, its just what it is.

They were rougher than X?

SOHH ICEY...WE EATIN
They were on the same level, but x was more charismatic them them, and made great singles
Instead of worry about what people wanted, x forced what he wanted on the game
If he would have signed to bb he would have been told to dress up in shiny suits and shyt just like the lox or he woulda been shelved
Instead he was in the perfect situation where his label let him live

so what's the excuse after RR entertainment let the lox live? They sold less,doing WHAT THEY WANTED TO DO.Same camp,producers around etc.

They didn't have what it took to be stars, everybody don't have to be a star tho, everybody can't, somebody have to b and c level. Nothing wrong wit that, I dont judge rappers on how popular they was in the mainstream when I'm ranking them on who the best
