free agents tape was embarrassing

why would they rap over beats they already killed

they set themselves up for failure

Did 'Gun Love' ever get a proper CD release? I've seen a promo cd rip out there, but never got all the tracks. To me, that's the last track where P was still killing it, and some other HNIC tracks.

HNIC 1 is a classic to me pretty much straight thru....HNIC 2 was dope too....as as the Mac is Back mixtape with Alchemist. P had a few bad years after the Jay-Z beef though.

HNIC 1 is mega dope

the beats on that are killers

ill laced pianos

since this thread i dug Murda Muzik out of my collection to throw back in rotation and i gotta say this album HAS INDEED aged phenomenally

i think the album Infamy was the last mobb album i checked and remember i didnt like it too well, i have enjoyed all of havoks and prodigys recent solos , i have never heard HNIC2 but what im getting at is there any recently made mobb deep albums that are fire enough to check?

ok so I realised I don't have the bootleg and all the links are dead, can someone hook me up please

this thread is wrong. hell on earth is the best mobb album with the most integrity and replay value. infamous is a close second but still has cheese on it. murda is dope but too many misses to fuck with h.o.e.

let me start by saying i think infamous is pretty much a classic

but it IS less cohesive and "cheesier" than hell on earth

if infamous had only the havoc-produced songs, plus a few more havoc-produced songs to replace the space occupied by the q-tip and other non-havoc-only songs, it'd be better than hell on earth, but party's over has no replay value and is not that good a song, drink away the pain is boring, right back at you is meh, temp's rising is more memorable for mary j. blige's incessant crooning (although those dusty drums and minimalist production really are dope) and i have nothing bad to say about give up the goods, the only flawless non-havoc song

hell on earth is ALL havoc all the time and it is just a great, fluid listen. every song delivers the same message and identity yet doesn't get monotonous, the tone or mood of the album changes not once yet they just come up with ridiculous, new ways to evince griminess, no r&b singing or try-hard-to-be-catchy hooks, it's just straight mobb deep

Reason · Post by **Reason** » Sun May 20, 2012 11:30 pm

btw i've been saying hell on earth is my fav mobb deep album for years but you just now made me realize why i think it...thanks, mayn

Reason · Post by **Reason** » Mon May 21, 2012 11:22 am

the infamous vs hell on earth

is an important debate to me

one album is regarded as better 99% of the time. such a discrepancy is interesting to me. it makes no sense musically. it does make sense in terms of hits and money as the best and most popular song from both albums is on the infamous.

but artistically and musically? hell on earth is as perfect an album as mobb deep can make. it's mobb without anyone in their ears telling them what to do and with havoc maturing beyond needing/asking for help from fellow queens resident q-tip (who really does NOT sound right next to prodigy or havoc when he raps on drink away the pain btw)

the minimalism is boosted by the excellent quality of samples chosen, it creates a zen-like perfection in the production. and the rapping follows suit with its own zen steelo. every fucking song is about robbing/beating/clowning/shooting/killing other motherfuckers. solidarity throughout an album is a beautiful thing...it makes for a more consistent album

temp's rising should be 3 stars not 4, that was a 'typo'

if they had just the havoc-only produced songs you'd have the best rap EP of all time

1. start of your ending
2. survival of the fittest
3. eye for an eye
4. up north trip
5. trife life
6. q.u. hectic
7. cradle to the grave
8. shook ones pt 2

I only agree with party's over being a just ok song...how is drink away the pain boring?? that beat is classic, and the song has a lasting effect, if you drink...maybe you don't...I always wondered tho, how does q-tip's verse fit into that song?

GUCCI CONDOMS · Post by **GUCCI CONDOMS** » Mon May 21, 2012 11:27 am

also I don't think thats mary J on the hook of temp rising, its a singer named crystal johnson...

Love Murda Muzik. Personal classic. Slightly below their 2nd and 3rd albums. Hell on Earth is my favorite Mobb record.

Does nobody else consider Party's Over one of Mobb Deep's best songs? Prodigy's verse and that beat are crazy

anyone know what cold world is? i never heard of that

so apparently, we've heard the ADVANCE version and the promo version sent to the source

but ive never seen a good rip of the bootleg. the actual bootleg on nyc street corners has this printed on the back of the case

1. Murda Muzik
2. Deer Park feat. Cormega
3. Thrill Me
4. Illustrious
5. Where Ya From feat. Eight Ball
6. White Lines
7. Where Your Heart At
8. You Fukin Wit
9. Thug Music
10. The Realest Shit feat. Kool G Rap
11. This One
12. That True Shit

12 tracks, but ive also seen the bootleg labeled as 15 tracks so i dunno. lookin for a copy of that joint if anyones got it

I understand why you could pick HOE over The Infamous, but saying it would be better if you 'keep just the Havoc produced tracks' is rich. There was a Complex article or some shit detailing the making of The Infamous where hav basically admits that tip coproduced the whole thing uncredited a couple years ago. There's a pretty marked difference between Juvenile Hell and everything after it (until Infamy, I guess), and they both credited Q for that more than anyone else.

Drink Away the Pain and Party Over are both classics, too.

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:15 am

Always thought "Drink Away The Pain" was the worst song on the album.

Combo7 · Post by **Combo7** » Mon Mar 25, 2013 12:16 am

Looking back on my old comments in this thread is kind of strange. I've since come to consider Hell On Earth their best album.
