Nah. Not in 99. They weren't flabby at all. They had hits, critical acclaim and sales.
compared to what was going on by that time with ruff ryders, rocafella, etc, plus the underground scene on the east......mobb deep was lookin kinda flabby.
im not saying they were pushed into irrelevance but they were knocked down a few notches and it was nothing they could do about it.
changing of the guard. look at how Eve made foxy & kim into afterthoughts during that period.
Four years later. Which shouldn't factor into this discussion. They were gold. Just like Mobb.
I was referring to Quiet Storm and the Remix.
I'm sure they did more than 800k
besides, they had the bigger hits & broader appeal. they had scenario, hot sex, check the rhyme(which was meh to me), who got the jazz, buggin out.
mob deep really just had shook ones. now personally, i'd take that and "give up the goods" over anything tribe ever did, but I'm saying.
