I was digging Sheek's big niqqa energy on stage last night. He kept imposing his size (n/h) on dudes just lurking around, not even facing the stage at times, just looking at the crowd in back making sure shyt didn't pop off. :russ:

Big goon energy. Loved that shyt.

Cam dumbed down his flow. Not his lyrics. And as far as the anthem music. NOONE was doing it like Dipset. With all the 80s rock samples to soul samples n all that shyt. shyt was direct derivative of The Roc and Ye and Just Blaze. Heatmakerz blessed them. Ground Zero and 9/11 themed after the attack and while the city was rebuilding. All of that was original to them. They had beats that basically only they could rap over and make it sound right. Their whole movement style wise was like a throwback to the Dapper Dan custom shyt. They were completely original and no one gonna say a cat like Juelz wouldn’t have gotten a mic when groups like Group Home existed in the 90s. Juelz could actually rap before he dumbed his shyt down to be more chant and Anthem based. And to fit the beats as well. While Cam just slowed his flow a lil bit. Not to mention u had the affiliates who was all just dead nice like JR Writer, Hell Rell, 40 Cal, and Un Cass, who were all battlers before they even got hot. Jim extended and flipped around and got Max B and took Stack Bundles from Desert Storm. Lil Wayne was basically a Dipset affiliate. As well as TI. Their movement was legit and organic as it came from the streets as well. It just wasn’t traditional and was a creative approach to things. Make no mistake. The Lox are better, are a better rap collective, better performers, more longevity etc etc. but it’s no reason to downplay with Dipset brought to the game. Dips just got washed last night. Let’s leave it at that.
No doubt breh. I'm not saying anyone else was doing it like Dipset and I'm not saying that they weren't original. I definitely think Dipset was original and super creative. I just meant that they were the first big group from NY that I can remember that got very popular nationwide making anthem type music and not being as focused on bars. I know groups like Group Home existed. Pitch Black. Other groups like that. But they didn't have nearly the type of fan base, excitement, or creativity around them.

I miss JR Writer a lot too BTW, and I think we might even be saying the same thing.

It’s funny because Dipset felt like the bigger movement in the early 2000s but when you really play the songs back the Lox songs hit harder. Dipset has a lot of dope rap songs but they don’t have a lot of summer smash records or pop records that crossed over. For example, I completely forgot the Lox did the Honey song with Mariah. You not competing with that by playing Crunk Muzik.

NY all day..Da Stead & BK..
a group or team is only as good as your leadership last night exposed that Cam is not a good leader but no one will call that out
Cam don’t like them nikkas really(aside from Jim) and he’s soured on Dipset after they betrayed him. But yea. U right. nikka didn’t hold it down.

I'm just telling yall....last night...what yall saw was Tunnel energy.

The Lox were born in the Tunnel. Everything about the vibe they gave me last night was 100% the Tunnel, the greatest Hip Hop club ever.

That shyt was pure Tunnel energy. I felt like I was home again....

nikkas gotta retire Jada jersey after that performance...the bars, the adlibs, roasting cam, smacking juelz kufi, doing pullups in timbs outside the venue, pouring champagne in the leather jacket in tribute of Kobe...jesus christ

this nikka channeled the energy of millions of timberland boots into one performance :wow:
