Pros: Sullen, descriptive lyrics. Raw beats. Guest spots from Nas and Wu. Cons: May be too dark for some.
To me, one of hip-hops greatest assets is its ability to be dark. Many critics / music fans who are not taken with the genre point out that music should not be dark, scary and menacing - because its often profanity-filled and is used a...
Pros: Possibly the greatest produced album of all time, as well as the realest; groundbreaking; innovative Cons: Such a thing is non-existent on The Infamous
Version 2.0 Return of the Classics Chapter 4: The Epitome of Hardcore; Mobb Deep becomes Infamous... Perhaps no album in the long history of hip-hop has perfectly painted a horrific portrait of the streets on the same level that Mobb ...
Pros: Great lyrics and subject matter, masterful production, a landmark album. Cons: None.
Many have probably just realized who Mobb Deep aren't with the release of the first single, Hey Luv (Anything) from their latest album, Infamy. Let me take you down memory lane than. In 1993 they released their debut group...
Pros: Hip-Hop Masterpiece... Cons: Many do not look beneath the surface...
Mobb Deep: The Infamous There are few albums around that have a lasting impact on rap, and fewer that actually change your life. Mobb Deep’s The Infamous is as much of a industry milestone for making a necessary innovation to a superficial rap ...
Pros:Masterful production, great graphic lyrics, no filter, hell rap. Cons:None.
Over the years Mobb Deep have gathered a following of a mixture of two kinds. One group is the 'They're some of the best raw, underground New York rap your every likely to hear, but they fell off' and the is 'They always release great ...
Pros: Everything. Cons: As the French would say, "Rien!"
When looking around on the net for ideas on what to write in my review of The Infamous I came across the AMG review of this album. In that review, Steve Huey writes: One of the cornerstones of the New York hardcore movement, The Infamous ...
Pros: Lyrics, beats, stories..... everything Cons: Nothing. It's perfect. But may be too dark for some.
Many consider The Infamous to be Mobb Deep's first album, and it pretty much is, considering their real debut 'Juvenile Hell' was not very popular. But The Infamous is a brilliant, dark, gritty album straight off the streets of queens. You ...
Its been a long time, I shouldnt have left you.. without a dope review to read through.. Two Emcees/Producers named Havoc and Prodigy, collectively known as Mobb Deep. A group that embodied the essence of darkness that existed ...
Pros: Incredible and original beats, subject matter is realistic, a nearly flawless album. Cons: The subject matter (if you don't like violent lyrics), nothing else.
Mobb Deep: Prodigy, Havoc
Production: Mobb Deep [Mostly just Havoc, though] (1-5, 8-10, 12, 13, 15), The Abstract [Q-Tip from A Tribe Called Quest] (6), Mobb Deep & The Abstract (7, 14), Mobb Deep & Schott Free (11), Mobb Deep & Matt Life...
Pros: Havoc's flawless production, Prodigy's rapping, 16 tracks of pure fire Cons: Nothing to my knowledge
The Infamous is the second of Mobb Deep's album archive, and arguably they have not since been able to match this album. In their first album "Juvenile Hell", Mobb Deep exposed the project life of teens, the album was decent, but due to both the low ...
Pros: Every song is great, SHOOK ONES 2 is a CLASSIC Cons: Fillers that weren't necessary but still OK
Mobb Deep, made of Prodigy and Havoc, started off with an album entitled Juvenile Hell, which I liked but didn't get much credit. They didn't start off Illmatic style, but they had their classic, though maybe not as perfect as Illmatic. Illmatic ...
This album provided listeners with dark beats, gritty narratives, and also lyrics that put you in Queens Bridge with the mobb. This was Mobb Deeps second album and was their highest praised album receiving top reviews from every major hip hop magazine ...
This album stands as a landmark for eastcoast hip hop and will always be remembered in the hip hop hall of fame. From the first track, The Start Of Your Ending (41st side) right through to the head-crushin Party's Over, The Infamous is a milestone. You...
