How prophetic was Kiss’ words when speaking about potential groups to battle in Verzuz. 👀 The chemistry of The Lox permeates each time their on camera. Legendary. Industry Nephews of B.I.G & DMX. 👊🏾 🎤 🎤 🎤

I love that they love each other genuinely.
They the ultimate trio. 3 alphas, all go hard, all different.
How can you not love these dudes?? This was like watching part of a history class lol. ✊
I could listen to styles p talk all day he real as Fuck💪🏾😎✌🏾
The LOX are legends in hip-hop today.
this is why they are my favorite Group. and even kiss said mobb deep is the only other group that can seriously get wit em. R.I.P. Prodigy.

I grew up on #TheLOX n you won’t believe I had a crew exactly like them in high school 🏫, my man Hassan Ibrahim #RIP who gave me the cassette tape 20 years ago looked just like #Kiss with the exact same hairline. I been Daniel Styles for 10 years on Facebook and Styles on the streets, because #Styles was my favorite of #TheLOX, the last guy who’s supposed to be #Sheek, Emeka Esumobi also passed a few years ago #RIP, I miss my crew and I love #TheLOX n I’m thankful they’re all still alive cos it was destined to happen.
L.O.X vs Everybody 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥
These dudes are a FAMILY. Loyal, no bullshit. Yonkers love you fam! 914

The GOATS of loyalty and lyrics
Lox is the definition of loyalty 💯💯💪🏾💪🏾
That’s a fact. I was in the Chi and that’s when I heard the Lox underground before they were on Bigs album. I’ll never forget the first time I heard the Lox’s, wondering why they weren’t everywhere yet. It took a minute but that’s how it went back in the days.
Greatest rap trio ever in my book!! But that Dblock era was epic
Just came here after Verzuz!
Kiss gave warning and dipset still came half ass. 😂😂😂

Beirut Sun no weak links in the LOX. Sheek arguably MPV on the new album. There’s definitely weak links in the WU. If it was a 3 man group of Ghost, Rae, and Meth. Then yeah it would be strong top to bottom. U-God is carried. And I personally love his albums, and verses on WU project. Same with Cap and Masta. But Ghost, Rae, Meth, Deck, ODB and Gza are in a different league. It’s hard to compare a 3 man group, to one with 10 members. If LOX had 7 more members of the same caliber, it would be game over. WU Block is best of both worlds.
Lmaofffff I wait to be an adult to have a true appreciation of rap due to the versus performance of the Lox and their extraordinary talents and showmanship!!! You can learn so many lessons from that versus and this team, friendship, professionalism, quality, knowledge, intelligence, talent and hard fucking work and patience. My respect and hats off to these men!!! Dope ass examples of great talents!!!
I'm from HAITI 🇭🇹 when the 3 put together they bring 🔥🔥🔥🎼🎤 Jada+Sheek+Styles are 3 living legend rappers D BLOCK 💪💪💪LOX so Living Off Experience I enjoyed it so much respect 🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌❤

What is so funny about this interview is they did end up doing a verzuz and yet the group they get paired with don't like eachother and probably don't have eachothers phone numbers or ever kick it ...dipset was a group put together to sell records ....lox struggled together starved together and built together... and stayed loyal and together the entire time ...true family where to them no one is the bigger star or the best ...they are the best Dipset is the complete opposite and it clearly showed during that battle ... dipset all trying to shine the brightest alone...while Lox feeding eachother energy...they never even stood a chance ....Kiss was right the fight was fixed.....
Jadakiss has always been my favorite rapper for everybody who ever doubted me I hope the versus gave them a new View! Jadakiss is the closest thing to Biggie Smalls..
I've always loved the sound of Jadakiss voice. SEXY
Powerful Interview- Great Group!!!
Thank y'all L.O.X. B.I.G. Certified gentlemen who still living off experience. Glad to hear all this, I been hearing you guys since the mid 90's my old camp counselor Glen Robinson from YO put me on when I was 10.
Lox will always come close to my heart if not for anything else but keeping it 💯
