THERE'S A DIFFERENCE BETEEN COOL AND IGNORANT
I just heard Styles from The Lox's solo single "Good Times" with it's high-pitched Freda Panye sample.Although it deliberatly snatchs the formula of Cam'Ron recent smash "Oh Boy"with the high-pitched sample and Styles actually does sound mudane and well,high...I conclude that it's a slighty above-average mainstream hip hop ditty.Anyhow,with a brief listen toStyles' solo debut "Gangster And A Gentleman" and a brief scan of the song titles.I notice the word "nigga" is used a lot.Quitefreely in fact.Look I'm not trying to tell a morality tale,peoplebut how would you feel if Eminem or NSync's Justin Timberlake ran around using the n-word casually in their records.The NAACPwould be on their back like mad so let's just get it together.Anyhow,about "Gangster" it's an OK album.An average hardcore hiphop album.Some nice quotes.But mainly a lot filler and thug posturing.Nothing new.I still say that Jadakiss was the tightest MC in the Lox.
