The Lox We Are The Streets 20th Anniversary Thread

[Sinister]

It didn't go platinum but it made nikkas wake up

 

[Sad Bunny]

Classic!!!

Felony nikkas

 

[A.V.]

The way Sheek got at J. Lo on this

Bodied her & Puff. The disrespect on this record was

I TAKE THE GUN OFF YOUR WAIST, AND SMACK YOUR SON...TURN AROUND AND POINT IT AT YOUR MINK, AND GIVE YOU



@ 1:44



The blatant subs, even with the edits was




I wish duke was still alive, and they killed yo ass

Classic!!!

Felony nikkas

Still SPs hardest shyt ever, idc what nobody say. Caught a case wit this in the whip as a young nikka. Perfect music to throw on ya way to put some pain in

 

[radio rahiem]

Styles and Sheek verses aged the best.

 

[Rhyme 4 Rhyme]

3.5/5.

Lot of classic songs on it though.

 

[JoseLuisGotcha]

this used to knock in the whip back in day


It's a personal classic just off the strength of nostalgia ....this is when we got to really appreciate the LOX as they re-introduced themselves after the shiny suit era

 

[Yehuda]

I wish duke was still alive, and they killed yo ass

That shyt was mad disrespectful

Guess I got personal beef, you're worse than a thief
Probably be your man that will work you to sleep
We gon put the guns down, we ain't bringing the crew
You got friends that hate your ass more than we do

 

[NYtymes]

Classic

 

[The Intergalactic Koala]

Breh this album magically put a doo rag over my head and gave me felonies I didn't know existed. That's how hard the album was. Coming from their first album which was okay at best, you could feel that anger from that shady Diddy deal. I was about to ride on Puffy myself and I was 15 at the time of bumping that shyt, that's how flames it was

 

[Pop123]

Only on the internet I hear that this album was weak. I thought this shyt went double plat the way the streets play it man

This shyt was borderline trash, the production was awful, there's like 4 really dope songs on there imo. But you're right, EVERYBODY had this album, I could quote this whole shyt after like the first 3 days it was on the street I played it so much. Imo, all the Lox albums (group and solos) have been weak, the best one was Styles first one and even that is only like a 3.5 to me, weak production.

 

[Izanami]

Classic.

The intro still hilarious. I hear Tracy Morgan and on there


Recently revisited the album, thought it was still hard and pretty much a classic. fukk You, can I live, recognize, u told, breathe easy, y’all fukked up now, ryde or die chick...A lot of heat on here.

 

[Wild self]

Al I know, from September 1999 to May 2000, all the legit MCs dropped projects solidifying their spotd

LOX
Ghostface Killah
Beanie Sigel
Rakim
Nas
Hov
Busta
Redman and Method Man

Maybe the urgency of Y2K really made people come out with albums like that in this time period.

 

[EASTATLJERU]

Weak album...but you couldnt have told me that back then, lol

Facts. Album is wack tho. No need to celebrate. It did go hard as a kid tho

 

[C-Styles]

i think i'm one of the few here that rock with the debut more than this. "Money power respect" aged better to me and the title track is better than anything on "We are the streets"

also, how the f*ck is swizz gonna produce the best beat on MPR with "All for the love" but couldn't duplicate anything close to it on "We are the streets"??

 

[Wacky D]

The way Sheek got at J. Lo on this

then she got him back by leaving him off that wack ass song a few years later.​
