[@thecunninlynguist]

Sheek underrated. He got a nice solo discography between albums/mixtapes.

[@qdiesl]

Thank you! I've been saying that for years. He's my top 5 underrated MCs of all time.

[@Trudon]

Walk wit me & after taxes are solid albums

[@Stopvotingdemocrat]

Fact

[@trevorjesso4474]

I saw him and Ghostface in a small intimate venue and it was my favorite concert. Sheek is 100% underrated.

[@silewis9396]

​@@trevorjesso4474They are a great duo. I'm jealous you got to see that

[@insubordinatenyctv3627]

Sheek is so slept on its crazy

[@thablackkat9905]

He was always my favorite of the trio.

[@Andrew-Antioch-Kim]

Sheek's first three solo albums contain some "hidden gems" especially the personal, truthful tracks. One thing I like about Sheek is the fact that he can actually do hooks, unlike some other people.

[@thecunninlynguist]

that first solo was a nice surprise

[@Yonkers1978]

First album alone got 🔥🔥🔥

[@dubblebarrelnoyz1862]

Good Love - Big tune

[@fiveduece52]

​@@thecunninlynguistsheek had the nicest solo albums of the group sheek=takeoff Jada= quavo styles= offset

[@jamaaldavis7907]

Sheek > kiss in solo material

[@BumpJ1]

Talib Kweli gives the best introductions for his guests by far and isn't highlighted enough 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@UPROXXVideo]

The intro 👑👑👑

[@mildmayheadless5217]

He's up there with Sway

[@dipoyomi]

Sheek Louchiano is underrated! He's one of the illest to me, plus The Lox is the greatest Hiphop clique! 💯

[@KD_SWAGGER]

The LOX will always be my favorite rap trio. They have done great things for Yonkers, New York, the awareness of health & hip hop. Sheek Louch is underrated on the mic, great interview!

[@dragonflyjones7623]

They are the only rap trio lol

[@KD_SWAGGER]

@@dragonflyjones7623 A lot of other rap trios, but I feel you.

[@casonbrown6239]

The Iron Sheek is not only underrated but also the most improved emcee of all times salute 🫡 to the LOX

[@casonbrown6239]

@user-ky8nd2rz4f he did improve not saying that he was whack all of them was nice from day one but he's pen 🖊️ did get a lot sharper just saying

[@kaithemagi]

This is an amazing interview! Another for the collection!! Sheek is EXTREMELY UNDERRATED. The Lox is the 2nd greatest Hip Hop group of all time, Wu Tang is number 1. Sheek is a phenomenal writer and have much character on and off mic. Thanks for this Talib.

[@UPROXXVideo]

love the sheek love!

[@kaithemagi]

@@UPROXXVideo the LOX are a legendary trio, each member is unique and maintain a great example of how to Emcee, how to carry on the legacy of mastering the ceremony as well as the art of storytelling. Slang, wisdom, masculinity that isn't toxic but self reflective. The LOX has what most in the game miss. Sheek has his own type of cadence and slang this uncommon and because of such most don't bridge that gap and that gives more mystique to style of Sheek. Sheek has a unique voice that makes you listen, his cadence of slang is like darts of old and new, like a new language but it's actually a combination of ancient tongues across the globe ans bringing it back to the hood to share with the community. Sheek has the ability to take the tongue of many cultures and make gumbo type lyrics to fill you up and when the verse is done you'll ask for seconds. Sheek deserves more recognition. Would be dope to see him and Raekwon the Chef together, or Cappadonna. Sheek is also very hilarious at times, incredible at giving contrast in his lyrics! Taking you from dark to light back to dark to the light. True artists. Each member of the LOX is amazing in their own and together are true legends that will last forever. They deserve to be studied. Thanks for the career of greatness for us all to study and of course be entertained. Salute!

Sheek a whole solo legend and you already know the lox

[@jsimmons834]

Grimey NYC...grrrrrr....Sheek always held his own on the LOX joints. Very adjacent to many greats.

[@onehitterquitter2130]

Us 80s kids miss them long ass songs, freestyles. It's like the best day ever when we get a verse over 16 bars.

[@traleroy]

Walk wit me still the best solo album of the lox

[@carvellidavis4672]

Sheek had the streets, he went hard on 50 and kept going and going. The whole scenery reminds me of good times. PEACE 7

[@SlimDeeZuL]

51:11 Great To Hear. And Great to see SHeeK in a SoLo Interview. 😎

[@AlexanderDivineEmcee]

Cant wait for the Large P episode. Cant wait to check this one out

[@UPROXXVideo]

that's coming too!

[@proklaimrapper2303]

I truly believe the greatest rappers have 3 technical factors that are key to making them iconic in the rap fraternity..Charisma, Cadence and Content..basically its sonic energy..that the listener connects to even if the dont speak the language... Sheek louche had bags of Charisma and could have been one of the GOATS if he honed it...his natural vocal ability was dope..had a freedom in how he rapped that if honed would have made him stellar... He is one of the rappers whose verses i enjoy listening to. Says some crazy stuff lol

[@oskamadison]

This is the thing...Jadakiss is the most accessible with the slick talk and punchlines, Styles is the best overall writer and the deepest. Sheek is just the rawest and gives no fucks. Cats throw "underrated" around loosely as a muh'phugga but Sheek truly IS underrated, even by heads who should know better...

[@Pure_KodiakWILD_Power]

Good convo with Louch. ...Uh oh, I think I saw the Thought freestyle on Flex, but now I need to stop the video and go make sure 🤣

[@williamtyler727]

GREAT INTERVIEW LOUCH, word. Peace to the LOX and Peace to TALIB. A WONDERFUL piece is this interview. TALIB, LOUCH, BLESS 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

Did I just hear Missy produced the Benjamin’s?? Y’all gone have to explain to me why puff gets all this credit

[@arthurspivey3587]

Who produced You'll See with BIG?

[@jdreppinsd23]

Nah, I think the way they described Missy behavior it was more of an traditional A&R role on the track (organizing the lyrical content, features, overall energy, etc.). Most ppl know D. Dot produced that track.
