THE LOX RECORD LABELS FULL
Just sayin.’Ĭheck out the full interview below and peep Jadakiss talk about the aforementioned suits at around the 12:25 mark. We guess those shiny suits worked at least a little bit. While the core functions of finding, developing and breaking the next music star have not changed, how that’s done today is dramatically different, thanks in part to the advent of music streaming services. Artists who have been signed to the label. The modern record label consists of dedicated, experienced teams who partner with artists to bring fans the world’s best music. Interestingly enough their shiny suit debut album on Bad Boy, Money, Power & Respect went platinum while their gritty and gully Ruff Ryders sophomore album, We Are The Streets only managed to go gold. Bad Boy Records (originally known as Bad Boy Entertainment) is a record label founded in late 1993 by producer/rapper/entrepreneur Sean 'Diddy' Combs. Luckily it didn’t as they made their way to Ruff Ryders and dropped their street classic album, We Are The Streets. Well, that era of Hip-Hop saw more artists going platinum (in actual physical album sales) than ever before, so you know Puff was all about the coin, but The Lox obviously didn’t want it to come at the expense of their street credibility. It was a shift-it was like a look that we needed, a star look.”
So I think we were all trying to figure out what was the look-what was that money look.
Diddy’s idea, Nas weighed in on the thought process behind everything and did his best to explain why Bad Boy went that route in the late 90’s saying “At the time, everything was about platinum. While many knew that the whole look was basically P. After that whole debacle The Lox basically had to go all out to get off the label and make their way to a more representative record label in Ruff Ryders. We ain’t look good, we ain’t feel good.” He ain’t have to tell us. Kiss went on to recall his feelings about the new look at the time saying “We ain’t feel right with that shit. ‘Going for the money guys, don’t mind me.’” “Ma$e loved it… ‘I’m wearing this one.’ When he looked in his dressing room and seen that shit on the hanger… he knew what he was doing. “We never felt comfortable one time wearing ,” Kiss said. Info for The Bridge: 50 Years of Hip Hop podcast, Jay-To-The-Muah once again stated that he “hated” the gleaming threads. Best known for their song We’ll Always Love Poppa, which was a tribute record to The Notorious B.I.G. They are a group from Yonkers, New York, made up of Styles P, Jadakiss and Sheek Louch. Until they announce specifics, stay posted for track releases, as they have dropped a few songs since releasing “The Trinity”.Recently Jadakiss opened up about having had to wear that dreaded attire in the late 90’s and in an interview with Nas and Ms. The Lox is their name and hip-hop is their game. The group announced that they are hoping to drop an album in 2014. The LOX had not dropped a project since their second album in 2000 until they surprised the hip-hop world by dropping a four-track EP titled “The Trinity” in December 2013.
The group has also collaborated with big-time producers such as Swizz Beats, Timbaland, Alchemist, and DJ Premier.
Over the course of the The LOX’s career, the group has collaborated with many notable artists including the legendary Notorious B.I.G., DMX, Lil’ Kim, Puff Daddy, Kelly Price, Carl Thomas, Eve, Mary J. Their debut 1998 album “Money, Power & Respect” certified Platinum in the US, as did their second album “We Are the Streets”. Since forming, The LOX have released two studio-albums along with other projects. The LOX, consisting of rappers Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sleek Louch, formed in 1994 and took the industry by storm when Sean “Puff Daddy” Combs signed the group to Bad Boy Records after listening to their demo tape. The Diplomats are not the only hip-hop group to form out of New York City.
