What's up with L.O.X?

I think THE L.O.X is the best rap group ever. I know a lot of people are going to disagree with me but i have my reasons for the claims. I know people are going to say WU TANG CLAN are the best, but you have to ask yourself; how many of the WU guys are still dropping albums? How many of them were really relevant through their career? Apart from Ghostface Killah, Methodman, Raekwon, Ol Dirty Bastard and RZA, and that is just like half of the group. With L.O.X, there are three members that have been dropping individual albums every year for the last 10 years.


I am not taking anything from wu, they are legendary, but in totality, i think lox as a group and individual artist have achieved more if you go by the saying that you are only as strong as your weakest link. Sheek Louch was considered the weakest link on lox till he dropped his solo lp in 2003; after that, people started giving him his due respect. Infact, his record company threw him a party after WALK WITH ME dropped, because they didn't expect it to sell half as much as it did.

Okay, for those that don't really know them, i will give you a little history lesson on the lox. The group was formerly a two-man group consisting of two high school kids(jadakiss and sheek louch) back in the early 90's, Styles P joined them later. They got signed to Bad Boy records in the mid 90's after being introduced to puff daddy by Mary J Blige. They were guest appearances on Biggie's LIFE AFTER DEATH(97) album and dropped there debut album in 1998. The follow up to that came in 2000(we are the streets) and they have not had a studio album since then,but have alternatively dropped solo albums non-stop since then. Jadakiss was the first to drop a solo, KISS THE GAME GOODBYE in 2001; and then styles dropped Gangster and a Gentleman in 2002; Sheek dropped Walk with Me in 2003, and jada came right back with his second solo lp, KISS OF DEATH, in 2004, and the circle went on like that.

Presently, they are trying to get there latest lox album out through p.diddy, but are having
