ONYX vs The LOX

[Muhannad]

@ Muhannad

X1 was Sticky's younger brother, he got killed in 2007

And yeah, maybe im'a young 33 years old (who sure did used Wiki)

But as far as I know, there's nothing wrong about the information on Onyx

You could be right about that whole " dance/house/flat tops/spandex suits " shit

Never knew anything about that...not that it bothers me, that was then, this is now

lol We're the same age.

I was sticking up for you, so that's why I implied you were young. I remember Doug E Fresh dissed them in Aiight. This joint came out not too long after Bacdafucup. That second verse was aimed at them. In that video fresh was also clowning them. That's when heads said they were dancers before they started rapping. It didn't bother me then and it didn't bother me now. Just like I had no problem with Boss when she got outed.

@ Muhannad

Okay kiddo, lol

I grew up on PE, De La, LL, Run DMC etc etc......Onyx (amongs others) were kinda like a second wave (in Hip Hop for me)

And I think you can co-sign me on this, we experienced music in 93 (as a 13 yr old kid) on a whole nother level as we do now

But hey, it ain't like I dislike the LOX, hell nah

It's just the simply fact that Onyx is more my kinda shit

Gimmick or not, they brought that real I-don't-give-a-fuck-all-up-in-your-face-music

 

[YamoleySensei]

The LOX got legendary guest features, but their two albums can't fuck with "Shut 'em down".....

Lox got this. Sticky could probably give either member of the lox a run if you iso battle one on one with whoever, but the other two guys aint stronger than neither of the 3 lox members so there you go.

 

[ThatDudeFresh]

The Lox = the only reason I was copping Clue Mixtapes from the summer of '96 till late '97

 

[jono]

I'm gonna give Onyx another shot, I hate their first album tho so ill check out the second and third maybe.

 

[achewon87]

No one in The Lox dropped an album even remotely close to this quality...

 

[CoolJoe]

All We Got Iz Us and Bacdafucup are classics...... let's be serious.

ONYX

Onyx was for 13 year olds. They were a gimmick. Older heads thought they were cute but didn't take them seriously. Nobody over 21 took them seriously.

Like GBE. I made a thread comparing them to chief keef and some caught feels

da fuck type of comparison is dat? lls GBE will neva have a track like Last days

 

[The Nuisance]

Only 1 member of Onyx could compare to L.O.X and that's Sticky case closed

Onyx didn't come out in 88. There was a group called Onyx back then but it wasn't the same people.

The group the thread starter is referring to came out in 92. Their first single was "Throw Your Gunz" which had a pretty dope beat. And just to show how pathetic this poll is, there were originally 4 members of Onyx. Not sure of the 4th dudes name but he was on the first album. Anyway, I'm going with The Lox. Onyx was just a gimmick imo.

I believe it was X1. I think TS is young and uses wiki for reference.

Onyx were dancers before they turned to rap. They were dancing in house clubs with multicoloured flat tops and spandex suits. Doug e fresh dissed them in that Aiight video. They were a gimmick, but IMO they have released dope music. Who didn't like "Throw your guns", "Last Days", "The Worst" etc.?

I remember reading Curtis Scoon saying that Onyx was house dancers in that book Queens Reigns Supreme, but I never heard nobody confirm or deny this so i wasnt sure. He also said JMJ made them cut there hair and gave them their image.

...But they did make dope music

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Onyx had better albums

Individually though, I fucks wit Jada and P waaaaay more than anybody in Onyx individually

Sticky Fingaz dropped a slept on classic with that Blacktrash album tho

Styles got a near classic with Gangster and a Gentleman

 

[Trillaaaaaa]

Also Sticky killed Eminem on his own shit
