Getting the Band Back Together?



It's been 10 FUCKING YEARS since the Lox released an official studio album. I was thinking of writing a "We didn't start the fire" of all the shit that's happened since We Are The Streets dropped but then I realized I have better things to do. These two full group appearances are promising, I don't know if rap has gotten worse or Sheek has gotten way better, but who cares? What isn't promising is the talk of Diddy putting out the next album. How many bodies does this dude have in his closet? Is it not a fact that your career dies the second you sign with Bad Boy? Why are rappers not catching on? New L.O.X. Order is allegedly coming in 2010.......With Dame Grease behind the boards??? Sigh. That Bad Boy fuku is a motherfucker. Nothing ends Kiss, nothing ever ends.

Off topic but that TNC piece is typical of what aggravates me about TNC's music writing. He'll be like, back in the day I used to hold some totally idiotic view, like, Aaliyah was talentless, 'Mo Money Mo Problems' was a terrible, excessively pop record - and now i REALIZE what the WHOLE WORLD already knows, what every pop critic and person with a brain has been saying for ten years, and I think you should, like, congratulate me for coming to this enlightened view because... I'm important and my opinions matter. Like wake me up when he offers a reassessment of No Limit, not, "you know what, Biggie - actually a good rapper!"

Yeah that's fair, for such an intelligent guy he can sound relatively lost at times when delving into criticism, since only you and I will read this I don't feel guilty saying on some Combat Jack shit.
