Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth 19th Anniversary Official Celebration/Appreciation Thread Daps and Reps

[mobbinfms]

^ I copped thinking that track was on the album.

Anyways, Hell On Earth was that road trip crack from 96-99. Put the tape in, blaze an L, and just zone the f**k out.

The ability to play this album over and over is just unparalleled for me. I couldn't even tell you what it is about the album either.

 

[mobbinfms]

Sorry fam, Murda Muzik is the one going in the casket with me.

That's the other thing you see from time to time, Mobb fans who like Murda Muzik the most.

 

[mobbinfms]

i prefer this to the infamous. the beats were incredible. havoc peaked and found his sound on here. prodigy hit his lyrical peak on here. I dont see how anyone can say this isnt the superior album.

top 10 hip hop album to me, maybe top 3-5 idk

My top 4 is:
Infamous
Illmatic
OBFCL
Death Certificate

Never been able to pin down a 5th.
HOE, 36 Chambers. I think it's gotta come down to those two.

Yeah in my class/age group I know a lot of people that like MM the best just because we were just a couple years young for Hell on Earth, where Murda Muzik dropped when we were in high school. I think people really love the albums they listened to in those coming of age years.

I still don't know what's really rhe OG version. I have two. I have one and then another that was sent out to XXL and The Source for reviewing, but I haven't been able to find that version with all the songs in CDQ and also no drops on top of them.

BTW @Juven I'll still find that P and ALC song for you.

thanks breh, i found it. I forgot wikipedia is the goat.

what a real mobb do . havent heard it in years

 

[ZEB WALTON]

i also brought back my cd version cause its aid it had in the long run on it a but didnt; and i just had the tape. i was maybe 10, bringing back a mobb cd to waves cd store. couple dirty looks that day,

this may also be the FIRST cd i bought opening week/day.

I just started getting into hip hop early 95 but i bought my first mobb/wu tang tapes in fall 96. hell on earth and the infamous?!... good times to be a 9 year old

Speakers leakin' out sound or nikkas leakin' on the ground

The is borderline for P, but his rapping on Albert Einstein in 2013 was the best piece of rapping he's done since MM and HNIC. It was clearly a level above any Infamy or beyond Mobb albums, and other solid solo projects he's done like Return of the Mac, HNIC 2, or Product of the 80's.

So IMO after Hell on Earth, the 3 albums that really are going to give you a good prodigy rapping are Murda Muzik, HNIC, and Albert Einstein.

Murda Muzik and HNIC were recorded around the same time so it's not a surprise that he raps with the same style on those. For example Quiet Storm was meant for HNIC but Prodigy let go of it for the sake of the group. And I forget if it's Delt with the Bullshyt or Wanna Be Thugs, but one of those 2 songs from HNIC was meant for Murda Muzik.

I think Albert Einstein more than HNIC. Yeah, I said it

 

[toetoe]

I still don't know what's really rhe OG version. I have two

Think i have 4

None of them probably the real OG though

 

[mobbinfms]

Prince should've cleared this for the album

I dont think this verse gets enough love from heads..Top 5 P verse to me I would seriously put prime Prodigy against any rapper..just the way he writes & you can visualize his lyrics is a skill not too many(or if any) rappers nowadays can do & need to study plus accompanied by Havoc's eerie beatsIt was like listening to a hood version of a Stephen King horror novel in the 90's..Just ill

I always assumed that they voluntarily left Young Love off the album because it was too soft/commercial. Have you heard otherwise?
P bodied his verse on that song
As great of a song as it is, I think it would have stuck out like a sore thumb on HOE.

2 PAC >>>>>>>>>>>>

To all the posters
Rep your favorite rapper...it's all good
It's all good...
Til you step out of line
Hell on Earth >>> any Pac album

 

[mobbinfms]

definitely remember buying this on release day at hmv downtown. it was a big fukking deal to get things on release day back then, and i definitely threw that tape in my shockwave walkman and listened to it over and over again.

Taking me back breh

 

[mobbinfms]

Can't even believe it;s the same sample as Xxplosive.

I remember when you posted that in some thread. I went and listened to both and couldn't hear it.
Had to get detailed instructions from you on what to listen for to be able to hear it

 

[mobbinfms]

At one point it was in my top 3 on there. That's how you know an album is good when everyone has different favorite songs. Also, for the longest time I didn't know that General G on Can't Get Enough Of It was Illa Ghee.

I think General G's verse was the worst guest verse on the album. Still a pretty good verse though.

Wheres the complete list of cuts left off of this..
