Meek Mill Says The L.O.X Were An Inspiration To Him As A Kid

To those who don't know, The L.O.X is a rap group that consist 3 rappers, Jadakiss, Sheek Louch, and Styles P. They were signed to Puff Daddy's (Diddy's) Bad Boy Records back in the mid 90s, but do more of solo individual works now. Meek Mill has stated their lyrics as source of inspiration and guidance when he didn't have a father figure around growing up.





Read what he had to say in a recent interview below-


"In Philly, a lot of people die; most people they die from is people the grew up with they whole life," he explained. "My dad was dead since I was five, so I tell [Jada]kiss, Styles [P], all them guys - I was out in the streets at a young age with no guidance, and so I was listening to 'Kiss and them, and some people say them guys say a lot of bad things or whatever, but them guys can teach you how to stay alive. Like 'Kiss said: 'Them niggas that you went to school with/Will catch you while in your new whip/And turn your brains into Cool Whip.' In Philadelphia, most of them guys are really untouchable. They're so wild that nobody could get up on them and when they end up dying, nine times out of ten it's their friend…just seeing that, you grow cold to making new friends and trusting people now...I've seen so many people die, I fe[lt] as though I needed a gun and I had to survive, so I was doing anything, any means necessary."












I am happy these guys are getting props from the new breed of rappers; i can remember Drake saying he also was a fan of Jada's raps when he was younger. The L.O.X still remain my best rap group- I like them as a group, and individually.
