Mase was rapping completely different before The Lox. He was hardcore/murderous rapper. They were all around each other for years, only one of them changed their styles. You figure it out.
The Lox perfected the "slick talking" street rap

Spidey Man
Superstar
And then he met puffy and had more success in a shorter amount of time than all of the lox.
No one denied Mase was more successful, Mase was the biggest rapper in the world for a year.
Out of Fab, Banks, Cam, etc., how many of them dropped a 5 mic album and was on par with Big, Jay, or Nas? 
They are technically skilled and dropped dope mixtapes, yeah, but what about the albums that makes any MC into a legend?

exactly well fab first album was a personal classic to me {imo}
and cam got a few classic albums imo so he imo should'nt be mention with fab and banks.
Read my first post. He didn't rap like the Lox. Kool G Rap birthed Nas style. He was much more of a storyteller/compound syllable rapper, who did say some fly shyt but completely different way.
Nah Styles and Sheek were slick as fukk. They only got extra violent til later on.
Maybe Jada.
Styles P and Sheek more or less fall into the traditional hard core street rapper category.
By the way, am I the only one who remembers the Jigga-era Jay-Z?
Listen to their material from 1996-2000
I remember their early materials (I'm in my 30's) but still Jada stands out in that department, IMO.
I still think RD Jay-z was the quintessential slick talking street hustler rap.
Jada (or Lox) wasn't as cerebral or intricate as Jigga, though - I see how their style could be easier to emulate for other rappers, in that sense.
*edit, double post.

5 star thread, The lox really dont get enough respect. I don't care though, I still bump they old shyt on the reg. and they all drop new shyt here and there. All 3 of them are legends tho
