They went platinum, I mean one could say that they should've gone double but nah.

4-7 :dead:

That's the range of Jay-z, DMX, 50 cent, Puff, Eminem, Dre, Pac, Nelly, Big, Beastie Boys, BTNH, Outkast and Lauryn Hill/Fugees.

Are you seriously trying to squeeze LOX into that league? DMX is the only cat who didn't have moster hits for days outta that league.

Pac barely did 5 mill (if we counting double albums as 1 sale), that's the range of Michael Jacksons Dangerous, Greatest hitts, HIStory and you tryna tell us that LOX were "promoted" to do that.
What was dmx given that the lox were not given? What was pac given ,that the lox were not given. what was nelly given that the lox were not given. I could go further but i dont need to.
And yes they should have done double or better on badboy. Atleast plat on RR.

I never said they were on there as RR's.


then what are you talking about? why do you keep pushing the strictly street narrative concerning that appearance?

they werent strictly street when they were on bad boy. they were puff's preferred mix of street & jiggy.

dmx & pac were top priorities of def jam & interscope before they dropped their debuts. and those are "larger than life" figures that come around once in a blue moon.

how did nelly's name even get into this chit. are you trying to say that hes a comparable artist?:laugh:

I'm saying you cant use street as an excuse for their failure or lack luster sales cause of the pop shyt they were doing. We cant act like nikkas whom did what they did exemplify the streets.

What do you mean by given? It's not all about what you are given.

DMX had a style that no one had seen or heard of before, he came in the game with some shyt that the game and specifically New York needed at that point, he was probably the rawest dude ever at that point and mad things.

Pac had hits, he was controversial, he's widely regarded as the best rapper of all times, he blew when the West Coast peaked, he was on several different venues. Hollywood, NY, he spoke a lot and a lot of people related and more.

Nelly made some of the biggest hits ever and had a swag a lot of dukes wanted to emulate and a lot of girls fukked with.


LOX just delivered the hardest bars, when the fukk have anyone been doing Michael Jackson #s by strictly delivering the hardest bars?

Your dmx/pac excuse is not a good one. All your doing is helping me. The lox were nothing special and thanks for pointing that out yet again. For the record,the lox were given more red carpet treatment than pac or dmx as they dropped their 1st albums.

LOX was just hard bars.
That's my point,thank you . They can rap ,yes. But overall they aint shyt. Forgettable flows and low replay value on their music. Every nikka you named earned they shyt. Nelly more so than anyone

nikka,they were geared for mainstream.
They wore shiny green overalls. In videos with mona lisa. Videos with mariah carey. Had lil kim (big star at the time) on their single. Made if you think i'm jiggy. Made ryde or die chic. These are mainstream activites.
The badboy album did bad,14 % of their teams average. Not a 3rd,not a quarter but 14 %. awful.
Flopped. Jr writer had hot bootleg mixtape shyt too,you wanna put them on that level be my guest.
Bujt failing at mainstream success that you tried very hard for doesnt get you a pass ass "not being geared for it" nikkas just wack on the mic


since when is 7 mil the team's average?

puff doing 7 or whatever was their highest.

and youre not even factoring in all the bad boy artists that sold the same or less than the lox.

:snoop:

Your dmx/pac excuse is not a good one. All your doing is helping me. The lox were nothing special and thanks for pointing that out yet again. For the record,the lox were given more red carpet treatment than pac or dmx as they dropped their 1st albums.


so anybody thats not on the level of 2pac or dmx is nothing special?

TELL ME MORE.

What do you mean? They could flow ice cold as well but their main thing was bars.


You could ask this about a lot of people, Nina Simone? Why didn't she move mad units?
Why did Illmatic move less units than Nastradamus? Why did Chingy's album move more than Marvin Gayes "Let's get it on" and "What's going on".

shyt is not black or white.

I said clearly and blatantly: within a 10 months leading to the lox dropping money power respect,bad boy dropped 3 rap albums that went on to sale 11mil,7mil,and 4 mil. They sold 1 mil. That's awful

I'm NOT asking if you watch it. You already said you stopped at 6. Now youre changing your tune cause i put you on the wall for your hypocritical nonsense. Thanks for admitting you're a blatant liar (this shyt is easy)


what did i lie about?

more importantly, what do i possibly gain or lose from lying or even answering these worthless questions period?

nicca i make threads about degrassi. lol. you in here acting like youre discovering some untold truths.

and those were all super-mainsteam releases, which is not what the lox were designed to be.

they were urban mainstream. they werent middle america mainstream like puff, mase & the ghost of biggie getting dead rapper promotion.

like i said, they did what they were supposed to. their ONE commercial single was some chit you would hear at a hood party/club. it wasnt something that you would expect to get played at a white party.

When nikkas make excuse like so and so was " larger than life...." that's my response. Naw you dont have to be big as pac etc. But when nikkas try to make excuses as to why pac or x had their success and their excuse is THAT. That's my response cause it's a bullshyt excuse. Their work made them larger than life. The lox work plus A WHOLE LOT OF HELP FROM BIGGER ARTISTS made them what they are today. Overrated nobodies

make excuses for what?

nobody is comparing the lox to dmx & 2pac but you.

for the life of me, i dont even know how 2pac got into the equation.
