đŸ”„ The LOX Talk Kendrick vs. Cole, Salute Doechii & Honor DMX on UPROXX’s Sound Check

When legends speak, you listen.

This week’s episode of UPROXX’s “Sound Check” put The LOX — yep, the Yonkers GOATs Jadakiss, Styles P, and Sheek Louch — in the hot seat for a series of rapid-fire music face-offs. And trust, they didn’t hold back.

Hosted by Jeremy Hecht, the show throws out iconic track matchups and asks guests to pick a side. Think: “Rewind” vs “I Got a Story to Tell,” “Shook Ones Pt. II” vs “C.R.E.A.M.” — pure rap nerd heaven.

But the moment that really sparked ears? The LOX had to choose between Kendrick Lamar’s “Alright” and J. Cole’s “No Role Modelz.” All three locked in the same answer (which one? Go watch 👀), but what stood out was the respect they had for both lyricists. No ego, just love for great rap.

✹ Old School Meets New School

Beyond the classics, The LOX showed serious love to rising stars like Doechii, with Sheek calling her “extra dope and creative” and Styles praising her bars like she came straight outta the ‘90s cipher scene.

Even LiAngelo “GELO” Ball caught a co-sign, proving that The LOX are tuned into what’s next — not just stuck in the past.

💔 A Moment for DMX

The real emotional gut punch came when they had to choose between DMX’s “Slippin’” and JAY-Z’s “Song Cry.” For Jadakiss, the choice was clear: “X put us in the game. He came and got us.”

That loyalty? Forever.
