This is a 5 mic album no question and an album of such status that it transcends hip-hop.

Perfect mix of rhymes and beats. Legendary songs. Guest appearances are all on point.

The only slightly nit-picky criticism I have is that for me personally, the weakest song is the last one. While the tone of the album ends nicely with Party Over, it's just not as strong a track as the rest.

Top 5 album OAT for me.

Happy anniversary and RIP Prodigy

Can't lie...when the beat rides out to conclude the album it's
:blessed::blessed:

Those church bells or whatever the hell.

But am I crazy for thinking the album should have ended with Cradle to the Grave?

Perfect way to start the album :wow:

I really like the backstory around this album as well. Mobb Deep were pretty much on their last legs as artist, as a result of me flopping :mjcry: The difference between myself and The Infamous is like night and day :wow: Mobb Deep really stepped their shyt up in every possible way for this album, and it paid off and then some. Pretty inspirational if you ask me :myman:

Fax. Prodigy went from an average rapper to a GOAT contender :wow:
Same with Havoc on the beats. Greatest ramp up in hip hop history :wow:

One of the defining hip hop albums of all time. 95 was such a dope year and this was one of the best albums of the year. I told this story on here before but I got this for my 8th grade graduation present. From that point on for maybe the next decade the Mobb became theme music for when ever me and my boys hit the streets to get into some fukkery
:wow:

My parents made sure I stayed fed with dope music
:mjcry:
There’s a lot to be said for carrying a child for 9 months and then delivering, but I would still argue giving a child a copy of the Infamous is the single most important thing a parent can do :wow:

The Bonus Tracks, with the exception of Shook Ones Pt 1 were on the second disc of The Infamous Mobb Deep album in 2014. :salute:
