True, although I don't consider Murder Musik to be a 5 mic album like its predecessors. There was a "dip" there. Still, MM issa strong 4 mic album, and features the Quiet Storm (Remix), one of the definitive hip hop tracks of the '90s.
It's Mobb Deep for one reason, they simply have classic albums, at least 3 ( The Infamous, Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik)...The LOX do not...They have albums we like, but not classic per se, so it has to be the Mobb...I would also add that Prodigy might be the best verse starter there has ever been...IMO

@@TonyMasters27 Great albums for sure, they're personal classics to me but I'm not sure if the hip hop listening public would say the Lox has better than the Mobb or classic LP's...Just my opinion of course
As a group. The lox are greater lyricists. But mobb deep are far better artists. They have 3 classic albums that are staples in hip hop. N prodigy solo career is very solid n he's a hip hop legend in his own right. U can even argue he was rivaling Nas at one point in the mid 90s.
Eh.. Greater lyricist? Jadakiss is the only argument but it would still be debatable between him.and peak Prodigy. Styles P isn't a better lyricist then Prodigy and Sheek Louch isn't better lyricist then either Prodigy or Havoc.
@@codyle9567 I think styles is more technical than P but P is more creative....like P dialed down on the lyricism after 2000....P is a better artist than styles with the stories n the concept songs...but styles with the punchlines n the metaphors and internal rhyme schemes n how many posse cuts he bodied....we can't act like sp not a lyricist. He made a career out of rapping off other people's beats n bodying them jawns....i think the 95 to 2000 P was his peak as far as lyricism n artistry goes tho....the reason I say the lox are greater lyricists is because havoc isn't nicer than any1 in the lox...P is very much an argument....but mobb deep as a group are far better artists...as far as singles, albums n concept songs go....
P had a strong 3-4 years the he started dipping lyrically around the Infamy album, Kiss and Styles never dipped but Mobb Deep got 3 classics back to back and they made shook ones which is the hardest NY song in the 90’s
Prodigy was incredible… The later years as well. Those last 4-5 project were really good. him and Al killed them shits. But mobb deep projects and the mixtape shit too….Alllll classic. I was there 🤷🏽♂️. Mobb deep lead an era. The lox was an incredible follow up group always the greatest spitters. No one nicer.. however the impact was 2 different animals. A whole lot of Apples and a few oranges 🤷🏽♂️
@@ah10t72 I feel like the mobb is a top 5 rap group, 2nd for me personally, they have one of the best runs in hip hop ever, 95-99 2 maybe 3 classics and as dope as the lox are they don’t have albums, or even the songs to keep up, lox is barely a top 10 group, they have a some Big records collectively and on the solo tip but not nearly enough to compete with the mobb, money power respect, we are the streets, the sermons can’t mess with infamous, hell on earth or murda music
Mobb had better albums, Lox had better mixtape careers and better features. I think Lox edges it overall. After HNIC and takeover , Mobb fizzled out a bit. I also believe Lox music aged better.
I see that I might be in the minority here but I got The Lox being nicer and greater overall too. I dont agree that mixtapes are preseason. It's more like the Euroleague lol. Mixtapes still hold alot of relevance especially for artists that prided themselves on being street. Mixtapes are for the streets. Oh and if we keep with the sports analogies then what are features? All star appearances? Cuz Jada and Styles have some legendary verses on other people's projects. Mobb Deep put out better albums. I wont argue that and they get mad points for that cuz it is the most important thing overall but I just think the Lox checks all the other boxes better. If I rank all 5 artists lyrically it goes Styles, Kiss, Prodigy, Shiek and Havok. btw, Beans did whoop Kiss' ass in that battle. haha
Straight up. ....... Mobb Deep is truly top 5 dead or alive. Lox is solid but they ain't got it like the infamous. Too many classics. G-Wells! (JEWELS!) RIP P! "Mobb Deep n all that"
Imo both are legendary rap groups but I think Mobb Deep is better overall because they had 2 undeniable classics such as the infamous and hell on earth and some songs on Murda Musik the lox money power and respect and we are the streets are classics in their own right but they nothing compared to the infamous and hell on earth when it comes to quality of albums.
Honestly I love both the Mobb and Lox they're 1 and 2 for me with the Mobb 1st but to say the lox don't have chip I don't agree with that statement. We are the streets is championship album for sure and with the features they were on definitely boost that run as well with Banned from TV, Niggas Done Started Something, 24 Hrs to Live , Reservoir Dogs , and Blackout !!! They have a championship resume for sure in my humble opinion. And beans didn't wash kiss stop it lmfaoo 🤣 if anything it was a tie I'll give yall that !!! Peace fellas great content!!!
Imagine Jadakiss or any of the LOX bein featured on the Quiet Storm or the remix. 😭 But does anyone on the LOX have somethin close to Quiet Storm tho?? Im not sure
The LOX are better spitters but if they did a versuz Mobb Deep would smoke them, it wouldn’t even be close. Mobb got the classic albums & songs, LOX ain’t got that. I don’t know why people pretend LOX got that The LOX are good on the mic yes but if we’re being honest their careers have been very underwhelming, especially Jada.

I wont roast you but if you like MD then you will like the LOX as well. We are the Streets is probably their best album. Give them a shot cuz Jadakiss and Styles are two of the best of that era. Hard shit only. Hope you enjoy
Mobb Deep's 3 album run of Infamous, Hell On Earth, and Murda Musik is one of the greatest runs ever
