Havoc's rapping and production skills are better than they've ever been and Prodigy is coming off the best solo album of his career. Can't wait for this.

HNIC 1 is better than albert einstein, but other than that, I echo your sentiment
Funny, I spent the past week digging into the Mobb Deep back catalog and thought that Return of the Mac didn't sound nearly as good as I remembered. At the time, that album represented a renaissance for Prodigy; now that I've grown accustomed to his rapping at that level, the album's lost some of its luster. It's still pretty damn good, but I'm a bigger fan of the atmosphere Alchemist created on Albert Einstein. AE feels like more of a fully-realized work, whereas Return of the Mac sounds like the mixtape/side project that it was.
I'm the opposite, I revisited it recently in light of AE and found it holding up really really well.
Alchemist is on some other next shit now as a producer, so in that sense the production on AE is superior. But as far as the album as a whole, I still prefer the former.

Only listened to the second disc, but it's very good. Heard some before, but lots of this is new to me.
Anyone bothering with the shows they're doing? Look like (generally) pretty small capacity venues? They were in London for some Supreme thing a few days ago but I don't creep in the right circles anymore to get invited to those sort of things.
