Just sayin.’Ĭheck out the full interview below and peep Jadakiss talk about the aforementioned suits at around the 12:25 mark. Theyve got a hook from auto-tuned sing-rapper Fetty Wap on 'The Agreement' and they end the album with a trap song featuring Gucci Mane. We guess those shiny suits worked at least a little bit. The LOX arent here to attack todays Top 40 rap though. Interestingly enough their shiny suit debut album on Bad Boy, Money, Power & Respect went platinum while their gritty and gully Ruff Ryders sophomore album, We Are The Streets only managed to go gold. Luckily it didn’t as they made their way to Ruff Ryders and dropped their street classic album, We Are The Streets. After the hard-hitting trio from Yonkers established themselves with a good amount of supporting collaborative work, they cashed in with their Top Ten debut, Money, Power & Respect (1998), then made a better stylistic fit with Ruff Ryders, where they issued another Top Ten hit with We Are the Streets (2000). Well, that era of Hip-Hop saw more artists going platinum (in actual physical album sales) than ever before, so you know Puff was all about the coin, but The Lox obviously didn’t want it to come at the expense of their street credibility. It was a shift-it was like a look that we needed, a star look.” The album features production from AraabMuzik, Scott Storch and Large Professor. The album was preceded with singles 'Loyalty & Love', and 'Gave it To Em', and features a high-profile collaboration with fellow Yonkers rapper DMX.

So I think we were all trying to figure out what was the look-what was that money look. Hip-hop trio the LOX releases their fourth studio album, Living Off Xperience. Diddy’s idea, Nas weighed in on the thought process behind everything and did his best to explain why Bad Boy went that route in the late 90’s saying “At the time, everything was about platinum. While many knew that the whole look was basically P. After that whole debacle The Lox basically had to go all out to get off the label and make their way to a more representative record label in Ruff Ryders. We ain’t look good, we ain’t feel good.” He ain’t have to tell us. Kiss went on to recall his feelings about the new look at the time saying “We ain’t feel right with that shit. ‘Going for the money guys, don’t mind me.’” “Ma$e loved it… ‘I’m wearing this one.’ When he looked in his dressing room and seen that shit on the hanger… he knew what he was doing.

“We never felt comfortable one time wearing ,” Kiss said.

Info for The Bridge: 50 Years of Hip Hop podcast, Jay-To-The-Muah once again stated that he “hated” the gleaming threads. Recently Jadakiss opened up about having had to wear that dreaded attire in the late 90’s and in an interview with Nas and Ms.
