Sheek has NEVER been wack, but him admitting he just wasn't around as much is probably the single biggest reason Sheek's so underrated. I've always felt he was the heart of The Lox. Styles and Jada have immense chemistry, but they're still just Styles and Jada. There's no LOX without Sheek.

The mentality of the old school emcees is so different than the bulk of today's artist. It was all about aknowleging who paved the road for you and how you're going to do the same for the ones coming up behind yourself. All about respecting the craft. There's not enough of that anymore

@NWOODS000 2 жыл бұрын

Yea man. It’s always been about the culture, only up until the past 6 or 7 years has it been like wtf is going on haha. The 90s and the 2000s eras brought the street culture into the industry but crossed over enough to make a career. That’s why their mentality is like that. Clout comes later, it’s about the passion and love for the culture first.

That's what always stood out to me with them. You have never heard about any problems between them. Whatever issues stays in house, gets handled and they come out united. Always. How many time have we seen groups or crews that say "4 life" and break up after the first album? Making all the issues public on social media? Calling each other names? How could the love ever be the same after that?

You can say rejuvenated I guess. I think they were just exposed to a broader audience and people who did know about them were taking down memory lane and realized how hard all three of them are.

Good job and good concept to talk about the ICONIC songs in their catalog AND their mixtape influence. SALUTE!
