Infamous Mobb - Special Edition appreciation thread.

[re'up]

Yes, dope fukking album from my childhood. The year 'The Blueprint' dropped, or was it 2000? there was just that grimy Alchemist/QB sound that was so prevalent back then, and all the Landspeed Records, Cormega, QB artists were getting a little shine thru those indie set up label. The lyrics at times are near comically bad, but the rawness and production elevate it to a near perfect level. Obviously, Nas and Mobb and even Lake would have been better over some of those beats, I mean these were Alchemists premier beat, but we got Infamous Mobb.

'Back In the Days', ' Make a Livin', 'Reality Rap', 'Big TWINS' 'Get High Get Bent', 'IM3' were some favorite. Blitz murdered his verse, they had a follow up a few years later, with Alchemist doing way less, but still had some ill tracks…'Empty Out' was one….

 

[H.S.]

Daps. Always hated they didn't rap on this tho

I still want someone to rhyme over this! lol

 

[Ohene]

my least fave is probably We will survive.

For some reason though I Rep was always a special song...must be that guitar riff. Nitty had a dope flow on it.

Favourite though.

When it first dropped probably Mobb nikkaz...then it used to be "War/Get Bent" now its probably We Dont GIve A.

Correction.... We Will Survive is also my least favorite.... which really hurt me deeply for DJ Muggs to have the worst track on the album

This album was CLASSIC to me my senior year...

Original album came with a bonus DVD. Wish someone had the whole video.



^^^This clip tho of the young'n from Bars n Hooks KILT IT. shyt was so real I recorded this over a microphone playing from my tv to make it a mp3 back in the day...

What was great about this group is that even if Alc barely got involved in their 2nd and 3rd album they managed to keep the same sound and atmosphere
