They ended up leaving Bad Boy over financial disputes with record boss P. Diddy and were snapped up by the DMX-led Ruff Ryders. At that time they released We Are The Streets with the stand-out singles "Wild Out" and "Ryde or Die, Bitch". They expanded their group with the inclusion of new member, Jae Hood, and are now known as D-Block.
For a time, Diddy owned their publishing. They reinstated their beef with him even after performing together at Jay-Z's I Declare War concert; recently, however, Jadakiss and Styles P. appeared on popular NY radio station Hot 97.1 to plead for their publishing rights, a request which was granted.
As individual artists, each member of D-Block has released at least one album. Jadakiss released Kiss The Game Goodbye and Kiss of Death, Sheek Louch, Walk Witt Me and After Taxes, and Styles P., A Gangster and a Gentleman and Time Is Money. Jadakiss, one of the self proclaimed "top five dead or alive", has been the most commercially successful with singles "Knock Yourself Out", "We Gonna Make It", "Put Ya Hands Up", and "Why?"; Styles P. has released "Good Times (I Get High)", "Can you Believe It" featuring Akon, and "My Life" and Sheek Louch "Mighty D-Block (2 Guns Up)" and "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye".
In 2002-2003, Jadakiss and later the rest of The Lox were embroiled in a beef with Roc-a-Fella Records artist Beanie Sigel and the label head, Jay-Z. Today all parties have made peace.
Currently, they have dramatically increased their exposure and popularity and are frequently featured on mixtapes. They are now beefing with G-Unit after 50 Cent dissed Jadakiss for appearing on 50's nemesis, Ja Rule, single, "New York". The feud has grown to encompass both groups. Jadakiss responded to 50's "Piggy Bank" with "Checkmate". 50 came back with "I Run New York" and a video for "Piggybank", which dissed Jadakiss, Nas, Kelis, Fat Joe, *The Game (rapper). Styles and Jada released "Problem Child" directly aimed at 50 Cent. "Kiss Your Ass Goodbye" was released by Sheek Louch and featured Fabolous, Beanie Sigel, The Game and Jadakiss. Lloyd Banks has announced on his upcoming album "Rotton Apple" there will be a diss track aimed at Fat Joe and D-Block named "Death Wish". More recently, D Block went all out on G Unit with the song "Shots Fired," a song whose chorus recommends murdering 50 Cent and G Unit.
If you think Im Jiggy
The Lox Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
If you really dig me, and you think I'm jiggy
Come on shorty let me know
We can get together, we could do whatever
But you can't get no doe
Yo, since the Mona video you been trackin' me down
Tryin' to figure out how I look impersonal, Baby
The three hot niggas rising in the Billboards, nigga
We look to change from the big lands, big bitches
Big Benz tryin' to make D-O-E and,
The thick chicks love us, big dick style niggas
Crystal niggas, y'all finesse the rich style niggas
You didn't love me when my name was Sean
Now you should see how bitches act when the Benjamins come on
But I ain't hatin' em, you gotta scream the way females play
Quick schemes and Negligie to make a clean get-away
Fly thug where the Willies stay, and she pay nothing
Stash what you heard, gifts are frontin'
I stashin' mad chips gettin' drunk up with the China
Club, while you gettin' schemed 'cause you did a minor
I know she wit it, I better pray I could hit it
Black tire fair I gotta fresh pair of British
Ice Berg shirts along with Ice with it
Turquoise, 9-11 fortune in pent
The honey got a lot of Jags, You gotta fill it
Honey gotta a lot of bags, then she went inside to find her
Lil'Kim when she set up her choice, like my voice
My thug style made her category
That's the realist shit I heard, that's my word
? I'm the nigga she deserves
I put em on the hole in ? rockin' furs
Liftin' weights and speak without using words
If she ain't proper I still gotta drop her
Sheik don't like her, had a dream that I shot her
I can't buy you ? you get nada
I'm the bounce with the chick that be lookin' a little hotter
[Chorus]
They was never mine for me to dump em
And just like checkers, after they make a move I'm a jump em
It's like this girlfriend I'm a keep it real,
Every nigga with a deal ain't able to peel
I'm a Bad Boy so I'm cased up with whips
Guess what, I got more nuts than chips
And they gonna melt right in your mouth
Not in your hand, You know you ain't my girl
And I'm not your man
But do you still want to lick me?
Or is because I'm a ? Niggee, and I lone Biggie
And I don't mess with no fat ladies
But if you pay like you weigh then you can stay baby
We straight slide, gimme more like that
With this honey named ?, 'cause she blow like that
And when we finish don't look at me like I owe nothin'
'Cause if you really dig then let me know something
[Chorus; x2]
The Lox's song "If You Think I'm Jiggy" is about a man who is being pursued by a woman who is trying to figure out how he looks and what he does. He's making it clear that he's not interested in any gold diggers, but if she really likes him for who he is, then they can be together. He's proud of his success as a rapper and puts it down to hard work and not just trying to get rich quick. The lyrics also touch on hustling, thug life, and the glamorous lifestyle that comes with success in the music industry.
The chorus of the song has become popular and has been sampled multiple times in other rap songs. The song was originally released in 1997 and was part of the Lox's album "Money, Power & Respect." It was their first mainstream success, peaking at number 31 on the US Billboard Hot 100.
Line by Line Meaning
If you really dig me, and you think I'm jiggy
If you genuinely like me and find me cool
Come on shorty let me know
Tell me how you feel about me
We can get together, we could do whatever
We can hang out and do fun things
But you can't get no doe
But I can't give you money
Yo, since the Mona video you been trackin' me down
Since the release of the Mona video, you've been following me persistently
Tryin' to figure out how I look impersonal, Baby
Trying to decipher my persona and how I present myself
Forget rooks tell me can you roll with crooks
Don't worry about the little guys, can you handle being around big-time criminals?
The three hot niggas rising in the Billboards, nigga
We are the top three rising stars on the Billboard charts
We look to change from the big lands, big bitches
Our goal is to move up from where we currently are and get money and attractive women
Big Benz tryin' to make D-O-E and,
We're trying to get rich with our big Benz cars
The thick chicks love us, big dick style niggas
Women with curvy figures like us, we are well-endowed
Crystal niggas, y'all finesse the rich style niggas
We have a way with wealthy people and can manipulate them
You didn't love me when my name was Sean
You didn't care for me before I was famous
Now you should see how bitches act when the Benjamins come on
Now that I have money, you can see how women act around me
But I ain't hatin' em, you gotta scream the way females play
But I'm not mad at them, that's just how some women behave
Quick schemes and Negligie to make a clean get-away
Women use lingerie and sneaky tactics to leave without any consequences
Fly thug where the Willies stay, and she pay nothing
We hang out at cool places and the women don't need to pay
Stash what you heard, gifts are frontin'
Ignore rumors and don't trust people who give you gifts
I stashin' mad chips gettin' drunk up with the China
I am saving up a lot of money and partying with people of Asian descent
Club, while you gettin' schemed 'cause you did a minor
I'm at a club having fun, while you're getting taken advantage of for doing something insignificant
I know she wit it, I better pray I could hit it
I know she's interested, I'm hoping I can have sexual relations with her
Black tire fair I gotta fresh pair of British
I have a new pair of designer shoes with black tire prints on them
Ice Berg shirts along with Ice with it
I'm wearing Iceberg brand shirts and lots of jewelry
Turquoise, 9-11 fortune in pent
I have a turquoise car with a license plate that has the numbers 9-11 in it, indicating wealth
The honey got a lot of Jags, You gotta fill it
The woman I'm interested in has a lot of fancy cars and I want to join her in that lifestyle
Honey gotta a lot of bags, then she went inside to find her
The woman has a lot of designer bags and went inside to retrieve them
Lil'Kim when she set up her choice, like my voice
The rapper Lil' Kim likes my music and style
My thug style made her category
My rough demeanor and attitude put me in a certain social group
That's the realist shit I heard, that's my word
That's the most honest thing I've heard, I swear on it
? I'm the nigga she deserves
I am the man that she should be with
I put em on the hole in ? rockin' furs
I wear expensive fur coats and attract women with that style
Liftin' weights and speak without using words
I work out and let my appearance do the talking for me
If she ain't proper I still gotta drop her
If she's not behaving appropriately, I have to end things with her
Sheik don't like her, had a dream that I shot her
My friend Sheik doesn't approve of her and I had a dream that I ended things with her dramatically
I can't buy you ? you get nada
I can't buy your affection, you won't get anything from me just for being with me
I'm the bounce with the chick that be lookin' a little hotter
I will be leaving with the woman who is more attractive
They was never mine for me to dump em
Those women were never really mine to begin with
And just like checkers, after they make a move I'm a jump em
Like in the game of checkers, I will make my strategic next move after they have made theirs
It's like this girlfriend I'm a keep it real,
I'm going to be honest with you
Every nigga with a deal ain't able to peel
Not every man with a record deal is successful
I'm a Bad Boy so I'm cased up with whips
I represent Bad Boy Records and have nice cars
Guess what, I got more nuts than chips
I have more courage and confidence than money
And they gonna melt right in your mouth
My confidence will easily win you over
Not in your hand, You know you ain't my girl
Not in a literal sense, you know we aren't actually dating
And I'm not your man
And I am not your boyfriend
But do you still want to lick me?
But do you still find me sexually attractive?
Or is because I'm a ? Niggee, and I lone Biggie
Or is it just because I represent my kind of music and love the rapper Biggie?
And I don't mess with no fat ladies
I am not attracted to overweight women
But if you pay like you weigh then you can stay baby
But if you have the same amount of money as your weight, then you can hang around
We straight slide, gimme more like that
We have a good connection and I want to continue having a good time
With this honey named ?, 'cause she blow like that
With this woman named ?, because she is skilled at oral sex
And when we finish don't look at me like I owe nothin'
And when we're done, don't expect anything more from me
'Cause if you really dig then let me know something
Because if you truly like me, tell me so that we can pursue something more
[Chorus; x2]
Repeats the chorus twice

Today the Lox admitted Puffy knew what he was doing
Jonathan Soko
@Raheim Speight The lox for sure went too far with it. You know whats funny to me? NOONE criticizes biggie for the shiny suits era, but they criticize puff for it? BIG was there the entire time, shiny suit and all but noone gets on him for participating but they rag on puff and badboy? It makes no sense to me
