Don't try and school me fukk boy. MURDER Mase was rapping with COC and putting out grimey freestyles in '93. Lox come out and then his style gets changed up completely?

the original warlox tapes predate.
when, g rap re-invented his style.
on the original take'em to war twelve inch.
then, later when g rap updated his style.
to vault past the emulation of rae's style in his dna, a bit more.
after 456, on roots of evil,

plus, those original warlox tapes were circulated to the point.
they made it on hpk, back in 94-95.

I can remember, them and mase.
probably made me the maddest I ever been.
about somebody selling out when they signed to badboy.

I still felt some type of way about them dropping the war from the lox.
then, switching all the way up on do you think I am jiggy.
originally, them and mase selling out felt like the end of the world.

mr sam has a point.
the little pocket when they dropped the original warlox tapes.
nobody had material like them.
where you could get the references.
unlike wu which was like Chinese arithimetic content wise.
before over the years, the breakdown of slang.
made them more readily decypherible.

Nah shyt is the truth. All jada albums are weed plates except a few bangers. Son album have no direction.

With that said Jada father a lot of nikkas. That slick talk shyt is him. nikka car was a different color every 16:wow: nikkas also spit some of the realist shyt. He could be the greatest father ever.... :ehh:
:dwillhuh:

jada's last defjam album, in 2oo9.
that, was the last technically advanced four to five syllable fully cadenced up major label album.
now, granted g rap, me and ju were rapping like that a decade before.
yet, and still....
for someone on defjam, and to be a former jiggy sellout guy who cut corners and did not need to.
that album was a fukk'n triumph.
there is no way you can diss that record.

Maybe Jada has been influential (even tho Styles is a better rapper) but Styles and Sheek styles are similiar to Mobb Deep and M.O.P. The Lox are overrated as a whole period though

im not a jay-z fan at all but how did he bite philly's most wanted.

the similarities that dude claimed most wanted copied off of jay. most wanted was doing it before him.

alot of jay's style back then was piggy-backed off of philly rappers. the flow, cadence, etc.

also, the figgas & most wanted were supposed to sign to the roc along wit beans back in the day.
