    Very Good Album

    By Yahoo! Shopping User  Aug 10, 2001 | 1 out of 1 found this We Are the Streets review helpful

    The Lox' second project, "We are the Streets", has something their first album lacked, good production minus the cover songs and sampling, something which Sean Combs has only recently tryed out with his most recent album, "P.Diddy and the Bad Boy Fam...ily, The Saga Continues...". The Lox sophomore album is great, they always had it lyrically but with bonafied hitmakers Swizz Beats and P.K. behind the boards making HOTT beats it just makes it all the greater. This is an album ONLY for hardcore rap fans that live for street anthems, "We are the Streets" sums up the point the LOX are trying to get accross lyrically on this album. The best part, of course, is the Three yonkers rappers chemistry which is unmatched among rap groups today. Personally I loved the synthed-out beats from "the block motzart" Swizz, who prides himself on NEVER sampling. put it this way GET THE ALBUM. Read more Less

Pro Reviews: We Are the Streets

  • All Music Guide

    LOX's (Jadakiss, Sheek, Styles) highly publicized and drawn-out defection from Puffy's Bad Boy Records to DMX's Ruff Ryder camp was imperative. Not only because Puffy's glossy sound openly clashed with the group's thug mentality, but the change of scenery also furnished LOX with an opportunity to assert their own identity. While LOX as a unit do not offer much in terms of topical dexterity, Jadakiss is one the industry's most underappreciated lyricists, which he clearly reiterates on his solo cut "Blood Pressure." Ruff Ryders in-house producer Swizz Beatz handles most of the production duties, and although his syncopated production can become repetitious, DJ Premier ("Recognize") and Timbaland ("Ryde or Die Bitch," featuring Eve and Drag-On) provide some much-needed diversity with their signature sounds. The rowdy lead single, "Wild Out," is an obvious reworking of Jay-Z's "Jigga My Nigga," but it was a hit on rap radio.
