I no that I said I would never do another thread, but these guys need some appreciation in this era. So here’s one on The Lox (a thread):
I first heard of these guys on Life After Death (on the Last Day track)by the goat, Notorious BIG. They KILLED their verses. Instant fan https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">(1997)
Here’s The Lox off of the Queen, Mary J. Blige, album called ā€œShare My World.ā€ This song is called, ā€œCan’t Get You Off My Mind.ā€ (1997)
It’s actually funny in retrospect: Diddy had these niggas on almost every R&B in 1997 haha. But they killed it. Here’s The Lox on Zhane’s, ā€œSaturday Night.ā€
Here’s one of my favorite joints: ā€œAll About the Benjamins.ā€ The Lox killed their feature (1997) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Butterfly is one of my favorite R&B albums OAT, so I had to add the Bad Boy Remix to ā€œHoneyā€ in here (1997) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Here’s their appearance on Jay-Z’s ā€œReservoir Dogsā€ (from Vol.2) with DMX, Beanie Sigel, and Sauce Money (1998). Fire track https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
I can’t believe that I almost forgot ā€œMoney, Power, Respectā€! This song still goes! (1998)https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Here’s The Lox (in 1998) on ā€œBlackoutā€
The Lox had a dope feature on Eve’s debut album (1999).
The Lox on Black Rob’s ā€œCan I Live.ā€ Classic record (2000)https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
This is a funny clip because it shows are crazy they were with the censors back then. Lol they even censored ā€œmy 9. C’mon! Haha. Anyway, ā€œWild Outā€ is one of my favorite Lox records (2000) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
If you know HipHop, then you know how big these DJ Clue tapes were back in the day. This record, ā€œFantastic Four, Pt. 2ā€ w/ The Lox, Cam’ron, and Fabolous. This song is INSANE (2001) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Now here’s another one of my joints: ā€œKnock Yourself Outā€ off Jadakiss’s debut album, Kiss Tha Game Goodbye. Dope track (2001)
Here’s another dope single from Jadakiss’s Kiss Tha Game Goodbye: ā€œWe Gonna Make Itā€ feat. Styles P
This was a great moment in HipHop; it’s history. The Lox were performing in Philly at Powehousd, and Jada stopped to rap a freestyle/diss directed at Beanis Sigel. The min he said son’s name, he crowd starts wyling and throwing shit haha classic moment (2001) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Here’s Styles P’s single (ā€œGood Timesā€) off of his ā€œA Gangster and a Gentlemanā€ album. One of my favorite joints (2002) https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
Aight, so I had to skip some years because these guys be WORKING and have many moments. Here’s Sheek Louch with ā€œGood Love.ā€ This is a special one for me (2008). https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">https://abs.twimg.com/emoji/v2/... draggable="false" alt="šŸ”„" title="Fire" aria-label="Emoji: Fire">
ā€œThĆ© Familyā€ by The Lox is a very dope song off their ā€œFilthy America...It’s beautifulā€ album (2016). Definitely check this out if you haven’t already
Here’s The Lox new single, ā€œLoyalty and Love,ā€ that dropped last month. Fire single. I hope an album is coming.

Respect these legends. They’re definitely worth diving into and exploring further. There’s a lot of great music and history there.

The goats.
