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

[Whips-n-Chains]

Once again....!!!

27 years later....time flies, I remember first playing this album being at each song being better than the last

Incredible album....

lyrically P is at his peak

Hav's production evolved from the more jazz influence of 94/95 infamous era to straight darkness, more piano loops, not sure if any horns are even sampled on HoE, a cleaner more minimalist sound, less rugged but more sinister.

More dope guest spots from Nas, Rae, Meth

One of my all time favs

I remember one of the reviews saying something to the affect of: "on the infamous, mobb were the stick up kids on the benches, on HoE they've grown to be full fledged hitmen"

I can discuss this masterpiece all day

It's not a true 96-97 East coast verse without an Illuminati reference

Who started this trend? First I can recall is P on the song w/ almighty rso that was sampled in D'evils

 

[BUSINESS AS USUAL]

Classic

That was I Shot Ya with LL.

Ahhh you're right, I tweaked

I shot ya was 95, probably the first Illuminati reference?

Edit:

Per wiki on I Shot Ya:

The song is also notable for being one of the first-ever hip-hop songs to mention and reference the Illuminati, as well as the existence of secret societies—courtesy of Prodigy's verse.

Any rapper studying under Malachi Z York would be familiar with Illuminati etc..mid 80s and 90s.
