Styles P was a recent guest on My Expert Opinion where he declared that The LOX are responsible for modern east coast culture, specifically the mix tape as an outlet to "get put on."
"Dipset had an advantage on Verzus, not because they are from Harlem, but because of technology," the Yonkers native said. "The kids didn't know about Roc-A-Fella beef, G-Unit beef or mixtape LOX. Nigga, you wanna do a mixtape? We invented mixtapes! We invented new day East Coast culture."
An animated P showed more excitement with every uncredited accolade that he shared. "We gave you free bars that you didn't have to pay for, while we rhymed over other niggas beats that you think is nice to show you we don't give a fuck! Whether it's a [DJ] Clue tape, [DJ] Envy, Kay Slay (God bless the dead), Big Mike, or whoever."
