When you’re a d*ckhead, people aren’t going to respect you, they’re going to hate you. Your ego will become so inflated you won’t be able to tell the difference between having power and just being a d*ckhead. The reason why the money, power, respect path is flawed is because typically, when you put money above all, it translates into ego and hatred, not power and respect. It should actually be respect first, followed by power, and finally, money, but I guess that wouldn’t sound too catchy in a song. However, I am here to tell you that in the “real world,” that process is completely backwards. When you are brought up in that “fast-life” lifestyle, that is typically how your mindset needs to be to survive. Now, in certain scenarios, I can’t really argue against that thought process.

Puffy then requested that they change their name to The Lox which became an acronym for Living Off eXperience. Blige passed their demo on to Bad Boy CEO Sean ''Puffy'' Combs who then signed them to Bad Boy Records. The next step in The Lox's career was when fellow Yonker native Mary J.
Main Source famously introduced Nas to the public three years prior on the Breaking Atoms album from '91 with the track ''Live at the Barbeque''. This led to a guest spot on Main Source's '94 album Fuck What You Think on a track called ''Set It Off''. They were building a reputation by performing local shows and producing homemade demos. The Lox formed in 1994 in Yonkers, New York, as high school students and were called ''The Bomb Squad» initially, but eventually changed their name to The Warlocks. Money, Power & Respect is the Lox's first record and was released January 13, 1998, on Bad Boy Records.
