Styles P is not a follower, & damn sure ain’t an idiot. Styles is exactly what he said he was “A G & a gentleman”. Respect!🫡

[@chillarnbajskorv4437]

This.

[@jlara508]

respect idc what anyone says the lox is a prime example of a group not letting the labels beat them over the head and play them yea they didn't blow up as major superstars but they all hood legends and still have their dignity.

Styles got the best perspective on the planet hands down. always good hearing my big brother talk

God bless this show. I'm 41 years old and rap is in me yet I have felt that at this age I should not be rapping. After listening to you and Styles on the issue of aging in rap I am more encouraged now.

[@KD_SWAGGER]

Salute to Styles P! Great point of view on several topics. To each their own if you disagree. Glad he mentioned Getty Square in Yonkers, New York.

[@JustinPivinski-cm2rh]

That was a good interview

[@okashgagaale3650]

The funny thing is that ppl aren't tuned in on what is going on at all. Even this subject here. Most of these interviewers aren't even hip hop heads. They just go Google styles and they ask him about bad boy and stupid stuff. These dudes are the real deal. The industry is full of clowns. And all the blackballing in the fake hip-hop community couldn't change the lox. Salute the team and their street team the whole camp. Y'all made history in the streets. Tapping in from southern greater Somalia 🐎🥷🏇 Bac kasii

[@prestoncurry8017]

Facts the only group that's still together till this day. And remaining strong together. Like styles said on we are the streets... the intro part to the y'all fucked up now song you could even put three niggas together and come up with this combination you know what. And it hasn't been a combination like them ever he was right. They're my favorite artist period, styles, Jada and sheek.

[@ButchBrown7]

Great conversation point Styles is right Rap should not be put in a box. Because Artist are creative Rap or otherwise

There's a 3 disc L.O.X. mixtape that was sold at a secret location on 125th St. and Madison for $30.00 that I'm still mad I never got a chance to get before a vacation up north. And I hope that I've had a chance to have heard all those songs by now, but I'll never know...

I am really disgusted with this on going question to grown black man who are professional rappers as to what age brothers should stop rapping. I've never heard a Rolling Stone journalist ask Sting, Bruce Springsteen, Robert Pratt of the Cure or even Mick Jagger if their too old to continue touring or creating new music. It's an on going agenda to push out the seasoned professional rappers with substance and flood the market with low frequency music by younger artist who could be easily taken advantage with bad music contract. Respect the art. If you 40 and spitting bars please have substance in your raps. Thank you.

[@user-mm7hy6je8g]

@@user-js2qo3kj8r yes the fan has been programed, the youngins within the community have been programed to disrespect the elders. A Lot of it is due to a lack of having elder figures besides grand parents. So there's a collision of the ram and the young Rams bumping heads. "You a old head you don't know what you talking about" you make a good point. The reality is we don't own the corporation that control the minds of the youth so there's a disconnect and journalist like this continue to push the agenda.

I'll go even further to say that people over 40 shouldn't be listening to rap music. Most rap is on some dumb ignorant ish that one should relate less with as they mature in age.
