Hell On Earth by a VERY WIDE margin...

HOE makes sense from beginning to end...Mobb Deep knew exactly what they wanted to achieve...

Nas was confused on IWW just like in every other album since Illmatic...Dude just didn't know if he should go shiny suit or stay underneath pissy staircases...

Mobb Deep > Nas...
The word you're looking for is versatile. Nas is more versatile than the Mobb.

IWW > Hell On Earth slightly. Both are classics

I know people love the war report as well
But IMO its not in their league
It's as grimey sounding as hell on earth but the rhymes ain't up to par
I do fukk with it heavy
while iww is the best lyrically it also has the worst production out of all 3. it's always been the most unbalanced album i've ever heard when it comes to the combination of beats and rhymes.

Hell On Earth.I remember when I first bought it and P starts his verse...

To all my Mobb crimey, money-hungry and grimy
Mobb sheisty, GOD father three and Gotti
Rapper Noyd, tiemax and Ty Knitty
Scarface and Gambino, New York City
It's P live and direct, stab ya neck
Ice-pick bloodied up ya whole entire shyt
Live shyt 1-9-9-6, ask your bytch:banderas:
nikkaaa, i love that animal instinct track, I stayed saying that P verse

That's not the word I am looking for...

(1) IWW is two different albums mashed into one...He should have released a double album, CD1 grimmey NY beats and CD2 Glossy Trackmaster beats...
That album doesn't play well from start to finish...

(2) Versatility is not a determinant of quality...The final product still has to sonically make sense...The Score by The Fugees is a versatile album and it plays well from start to finish, because there is sonic coherence from one track to the next...

That album is essentially a mash-up of two completely different albums...

Half of IWW is "The Firm" type of beats and the other half is good ole NYC grimwy beats...

Nas was confused...Dude doesn't have a musical vision...He writes rhymes and lets other decide for him what beats he should rap on and which direction he should go...

Nas is NOT a good producer and he doesn't have good producers around him, that's why his albums after Illmatic have never been cohesive...

Hell On Earth was seen as dope/classic from the day it dropped. IWW was seen as a let down and was later seen as dope. Anyone that tells you different wasn't there.

There's a word in this verse that I think 99% of people get wrong
I've been meanin to make a thread on that
I don't wanna say it here and derail this but I think it makes the verse even better

Is it "You see eclipse when the mac spit" cause i agree that line is one of the illest in the verse.


BTW, It Was Written >
