"It's similar to Vietnam": Mobb Deep's urban nightmare of The Infamous

by paulyoungotti Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 500, Mar 10 '03
Pros: Sullen, descriptive lyrics. Raw beats. Guest spots from Nas and Wu.
Cons: May be too dark for some.
To me, one of hip-hop’s 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 it’s often profanity-filled and is used a...

Convincing, distinct, stirring, cinematic, and frightening: 10 years later, this is still The Infamous

by bigd99999 Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 200, Jan 20 '05
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 ...

The Infamous: The Realness As You've Never Heard It Before

by DVON Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Apr 16 '02
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...

The Infamous; Mobb Deep: The voice of the oppressed

by bdog08 , Aug 10 '05
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 ...

Now you might understand why they weren't Infamous after this!

by aesopfable Epinions Most Popular Authors - Top 1000, Aug 18 '03
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 ...

The Epitome of Street-Hop: Mobb Deep’s Untouchable The Infamous

by holy_fish , Jul 20 '04
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 ...

Mobb Deep's classic, The Infamous

by richard213 , Dec 19 '03
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 ...

The Rosetta Stone of East Cost "Realness" Rap

by stealers_in , Jun 28 '05
Pros: Genuine, cinematic gangster lyrics. Grim, heinously orchestrated beats.
Cons: Subject matter never, ever changes.
Its been a long time, I shouldn’t 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 ...

Raw, gritty, realistic street hip-hop

by mikejc , Aug 07 '02
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...

They're only 19 but their minds are older... and albums better

by joeemcee , Nov 23 '06
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 ...

Mobb Deep's INFAMOUS CLASSIC

by stillblade , Jan 17 '04
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 ...
