Real talk nobody would even know who The Lox was if it wasn't for Biggie.

So De La only got one classic now? You kids on here are wild, man. I seriously think some of you got a dartboard with random things written on it, and you toss darts to see what your next topic is.

Don't forget Stakes is High.

Silly thread looking to provoke a reaction. Sure, it may be your opinion, but you don't need to come to SOHH to vent everything. This isn't counseling.

the lox are pound for pound better lyricists but de la soul has better albums. aint no lox album touchin 3 feet high and rising and stakes is high.

who exactly is a better lyricist than POS, from the lox?

come on man are you kidding me. i grew up in that era. i used to rock my hair the same way pos had that part in his hair. it was like a half flat top. posdenues was my dude he represented for the darkskin niccas. he was nice but no way is he better than jadakiss or styles p. i'll give him the edge over sheek though.

well IMO, pos is one of the most underrated rappers to ever grab a mic, especially in a lyrical sense, maybe you're talking about punchlines or some other silly subcatagory type sh1t, but i'm talking about crafting a verse, painting a picture with words, when it comes to that, none of them n1ggas can do what he does

Bionix ain't even nowhere near their best album, and it takes a sh1t on both lox joints, thats prolly the most underrated album of this decade

[Mr.Sam]

The LOX, without question. Pos is cool, but Jadakiss and Styles are far better. De La has a better albums catalogue, but song for song the LOX got that over them.

Nah, Pos is cool and all, but lyrically he's not on their level. They do completely different things, but Kiss and Styles are more efficient and more hard hitting. Pos isn't even more thought provoking then Styles P. which is really his strength as an lyricist. Plus, delivery, flow, cadence, wordplay all of that goes to the LOX boys.

[SoulController]

De La is the one 'legendary' group that i never took a shine too, their best stuff is pretty dated and the latter stuff was garbage. over the right track they do kick some nice rhymes and can hold my attention, but overall they kind of bore me

grew up on the Lox, have to side with them. altho catelogue wise they have underachieved bigtime for being in the game 12+ years

[IRONMAN26]

The LOX most def.

most wouldn't say it's their best sh1t, but i love AIO Bionix, if you can get a hold of it i bet you'd like it...but then again you're a mase fan lol

sick collabos with devin, ceelo, cypress hill, slick rick ect...sh1ts butter,

Ill look 4 it, or somebody will surely upp it...ehh, ima mason betha fan, but I've defended so much o my fly taste on here, its hard to hate on....

Anyway, I knew most of yall fake "purists" would come in here and scream de la, why? Lox held nyggas down twelve fukn summers with dope shyt. Ill give de la, what, like 3 or 4 years before cats moved on? For better or worse, by the early and mid 90s they were done... I did enjoy the rap city freestyle wit steph luva, pos, and I forget who else.... The joint wit red was cool, but red stole the show, and well.....

[Slice-Twice]

Well I say De La
cause they were part of that long island movement


but a positive hip hop group will always be better than gangsta fairy tales...

[THE 101]

but song for song the LOX got that over them.

You seriously believe this?

I mean...its apples and oranges any way. A big D Block fan ain't neccessarly gonna be a De La fan and vice versa, but in terms of good music made, it ain't even close IMO. So much of the Lox's music is so forgettable and bland to me, while De La's first three albums are timeless.

[Heavy Handz]

Album wise it's so far from close it's amazing... :laugh:

And I'm a big Lox fan too... They have murdered the mixtape game over the last few years... But still...

[Vincenzo_Corleone]

De La all-day everyday, and I'm a huge LOX fan - but De La is that soul-food, LOX is on some burger king shiz.

I never thought De La's music was that special even for the time period, and it hasn't aged well at all.

I'd take Black Sheep's debut over any De La album.

I haven't heard a de la song in 10 years

In other words, u don't know what the fidduqq you're talking about

Uhm, I like the LOX (and as I've stated before several times, this is my favorite LOX track), so what's your point?

[The Nastiest]

I'm gonna have to go with De La, even though I thoroughly enjoyed the Lox/D-Blocks mixtapework.

[hexagram23]

u fukd ur post up early.

How? Nobody knew who the Lox were prior to BIG putting them on. As a matter of fact, they went by the name The Warlocks until Puff made them change it. If you're seriously telling me you were checking for some underground ass group called "The Warlocks" before BIG put them on, you're lying.

Therefore, they wouldn't be sh*t without BIG....we wouldn't even be having this silly ass discussion because you would've never heard of them.

Fred.

[hexagram23]

I can't even believe people are seriously entertaining this question....the Lox? Are dudes serious? They are some run-of-the-mill NY mixtape sounding dudes who lucked up by being down with BIG. If you take BIG's co-sign out of the equation, you might as well be asking "who is better, Murder Mook or De La?".
