What did people think of Infamous Mobb Special Edition? Revisiting it right now.
Personal classic to me! It oficially made me a QB head (by QB I mean QB including underground artists in addition to well known acts like mobb, nas)

Production is perfect (ALC, HAV, MUGGS + other dudes) and they sound nice over it with often basic rhymes, but still dope. GOD was writing for the group, so he was ahead of the other two, but as a group they did the job well.

Chinky killed it. V-12 was also on the album. Hostyle of Screwball, Noyd, P, Blitz, Uno-Dos... That classic qb (+ affiliates) sound!
Don't forget they pushed 100 000 units independently. :salute:

Album intro has my GOAT undiscovered sample and overall one of the nicest samples ever to me. ALC a fool for not turning it into a beat. shyt is so magic!:whoo:




I own both the first and second album. I couldn't rock with the second album at all.
Have you listened to it recently? Should I give it another chance. No Hav :mjcry:
Only one beat from ALC :mjcry:

Weaker than the first one, but still a lot of fire on it. Production is weaker, but it still has one of my favorite QB beats ever, especially if we are talking about that sound that was developed post 2000 (AOR rock samples including keys, guitars, vocals), perfect sound to me. It was produced by Ric Rude, who also produced you can never feel my pain. The song also introduced UN Pacino with a dope verse (dope opening and even better closing)



I haven't heard anything from Infamous Mobb after the second album. Is the later shyt any good?

Yo, you've been sleeping. Check out God's albums/tapes and Twins' as well. Twin has improved over the years + the dude is maad humbel. Glad I had a chance to chill with him last year!



that's a good joint from Reality Rap but recorded during Blood Thicker Than Water

Album has few banges more. Production is nice! This is one of the best tracks on it.
Produced by Steve Sola, the Mix king! :salute:






Gems on there. Check it out :wow:

One of the first songs I was bumping after i heard sad news about P. :mjcry:

The DVD has a lot of videos. Low key that's where P got the idea to shoot a video for every song on HNIC 2 from.
Actually, Jordan Tower filmed both DVDs.
:pdahellclean:invented the internet.
:ohhh:

Underground classic imo. Best weed carrier album I've heard. None of these dudes are even real rappers but the album was straight fire and as rappers I think they held their own.
:deadmanny:

GOD is actually hell of a rapper. Dude has improved over the years, but his style ain't for everybody.

For as limited as rappers that IM3 was, this was a pretty good album. Production was nice and they weren't group home bad over nice beats at least. War was my shyt as was IM3. I liked Blood Is Thicker better though.

Empty Out
Greenback
More hoes than heffner
U know the ratio
Blood thicker than water
Tonight (Noyd solo)

I used to be a huge Infamous Mobb fan. But as I said in a thread about them back on SOHH, they were the new millenium Group Home. No pop filler tracks, pure hardcore street hip-hop, incredibly dope production, but lyrically, them n*ggas was so terrible it put a new meaning to "criminal rap", cuz it should have been a crime to pen some of the shyt them dudes recorded.

I bought Blood Thicker Than Water with the dvd when it dropped and only gave it a few spins. Sebb held them down on the production, but I needed more Alchemist.

Was bangin "More Hoes than Heffner" the other day (Sebb is really slept on).

Overall, they make good music. "Pull The Plug" was my shyt, the video for it was pretty dope and Al laced them.

Big Twin "The Pjs" is another one of my favs from that crew. Cant post links at the moment, but I will when I get a minute.

The 3 infamous mobb joints were the shyt. They were the definition of "keeping the same sound no matter the producer"

I kinda agree with the group home comparison except what makes infamous mobb great is despite their medium rap skills they have great and grimey voices. Especially god and twin, ty nitty being really subpar. Group home had few skills and irritating voices
