The lox wild out
> “Through ninth grade I ain’t go to high school, I went to school high” -Sheek Louch (“Recognize”) > “I pray to Allah, but I’m too foul to go to the mosque” -Styles P (“Wild Out”) > “Too hard for MTV, not black enough for BET, just let me be” -Jadakiss (“Recognize”)
THE LOX WILD OUT CRACK
> “Y’all like watermelons: big but crack easy” - Sheek Louch (“Breathe Easy”) > “Everybody’s a snake, that’s why I try to keep the grass cut/So I can see ’em when they coming, then I heat they ass up” -Jadakiss (“Fuck You”) (But don’t snooze on this either): Jada’s aforementioned blackout on “Blood Pressure” is forever a classic solo serving, but Styles P provides some of WATS toughest talk on his own track “Felony Niggas.” He rattles off threats like “kill everybody dead just so no one can smile” and “I’ll put six in your stomach, nigga, lace your food,” truly earning his rep as rap’s hardest MC. Preemo’s stellar machete work here adds another layer to the project’s sound and perfectly fits Styles, Sheek and Jada’s gutter introspection. Yet while “Wild Out” became an anthem that’s like a first cousin to M.O.P.’s “Ante Up” (which dropped later that year) and the Timbaland-produced “Ride or Die, Bitch” gave ladies something to bump, “Recognize” slipped through the cracks as a single. Most slept-on: The Lox and DJ Premier finally collide on “Recognize,” one of only two tracks handled by a producer outside of Ruff Ryders’ camp.
Jadakiss Reflects On DMX On 1-Year Anniversary Of His Death
Peak moment: Jadakiss unintentionally creates a hip-hop myth with some superhuman wordplay on his solo track “Blood Pressure.” After two minutes of walloping Swizz’s dramatic strings and synths with punchlines-probably unconscious at this point-Kiss rattles off some wordplay that predates the lore of Karrine Steffans: “Got a chick named Superhead/she give super head/Just moved in the building, even gave the super head/I cop big guns that spit super lead/So play Superman, end up super dead.” In just two bars, Jada blows listeners’ minds and births a fellatio legend that Steffans would soon infamously adopt. The singles: “Wild Out,” “Ride or Die, Bitch,” “Recognize”ĭeep album cuts: “Fuck You,” “Breathe Easy,” “Blood Pressure,” “Y’all Fucked Up Now” Selling point (in one sentence): The Lox’s second album shook up the rap game and more importantly shedded the shiny suit image of their Bad Boy days, repping from the street corner to the corner cell with lyrical smackdowns that are harder than graphite. The following year, the group teamed up with Griselda Records (Conway, Westside Gunn and Benny) and launched their Key To Life Tour across America with support from Smoke DZA and DJ Statik Selektah.VIBE spotlights music’s most essential timepieces for Gen Y.
