i hated this album for awhile and not because it wasn't good either.

i was straight killing (and i mean killing like the the tape is coming off the reels and getting tangled and shit) clue's you can't impeach the president 99 mixtape with mobb's "mobb comin' thru" from spring 99 til the lp dropped and that cut was getting rewinded constantly, so then i cop the album and it ain't on there...that cut was my joint for so long that it being cut off the lp made me so pissed that i took it back the next day after dubbing it and exchanged it for Melvin Flynt Da Hustler, which was an even bigger disappointment. SMH. that was a fucked up august for me already and those 2 albums made it infinitely worse. fuck august 1999 forever.

and it's fucked up that in the damn internet age we live we still can't get a copy of the promo version of MM that the source gave 4 1/2 mics...

overall i give this lp a 3.5 maybe due to havoc being so inconsistent on the beats and for the lp being neutered by loud and mobb deep due to bootlegging.

I think, this is that version, no? Maybe it's just the "bootleg"... I dunno, I always assumed this was the 4.5 mic version though. Same album as the OG except with the four songs I uploaded before, minus "It's Mine," Quiet Storm remix and a few others. Guess there could be a third version floating around somewhere.

I remember reading in XXL that the original version that wasn't put out still made it on to the streets. They had a picture in the mag showing the barcode on the back of the cd case. Let me see if I can find that issue.

"Adrenaline" still bangs hard for me, it's not as good as Hell On Earth but it's a dope and consistent album.

Yeah I know what you're talking about (remember that issue), but I'm pretty sure that was the bootleg version not the promo version dredscott is referring to.

fatboybrandon · Post by **fatboybrandon** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:19 am

Yeah, nice album overall. I definitely felt like Mobb had refined their sound and identity at this point before things started to change after Infamy and they began to have less of an influence on the direction of New York Hip Hop. I have to be in a certain mood to sit down and listen to Murda Musik as a whole, sort of the mood when I'm watching The Godfather or another dark movie like that.

I appreciate the album even more after copping the instrumental version on vinyl. One of my favorite songs besides "Illustrious" is the song with Cormega where you can hear all the vinyl static in the beat. I remember being addicted to "Illustrious" when it came out on Stretch & Bobbito's show and then as an underground white label.

I remember feeling like some DJ's such as Clue were starting to play out Mobb's sound by featuring their songs on mixtapes filled with trendy commercial NY shit coming out at the time that for the most part has gone forgotten nowadays by alot of people. When I look back on that era of mixtapes it's clear to me what really stood the test of time because it was truly dope, such as the bootlegs from Murda Musik.

aeokq · Post by **aeokq** » Sat Feb 04, 2012 3:23 am

The Infamous is the best hip hop album ever. Hell on Earth is almost as good. Murda Muzik is NOWHERE near either of those albums. It's a good album, but not a fuckin chance it is touching either of those albums. There are more than a few weak cuts.

Yep. Lots of revisionism going on. Where did people see the movie btw, I thought it never came out?

there were some bangers but also some weak songs.

i don't get the general hate for infamy though. it definitely was a step down and P stepped down after hell on earth and then again after murda muzik. it was an uneven album and had some very bad tracks but also enough bangers imo

supnick · Post by **supnick** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 7:07 pm

what i really liked about p on the infamy is how blunt he was

that + his new deep ass voice was a effective as shit combination

i fux w/ like

get away
clap
my gats spitting
the learning
hurt niggas
i won't fall
crawlin

but the rest of the album is pure bullshit

A Kid · Post by **A Kid** » Sun Feb 05, 2012 7:56 pm

Infamy was so horrible to me. I'm a fan of Blood Money tho, and the Free Agents tapes. Not to mention really anything Prodigy has dropped after Infamy and before it.
