I used to bang this album heavy. I brought it back out a few weeks ago and I almost forgot how dope this album was. so many bangers on here. When it dropped it didnt make alot of noise because Blueprint and Stillmatic were on fire. this shyt was dope tho. what yall think?

you should be banned, this is their worst album. Prodigy was at an all time low, he was unbearable to me on 95% of the songs.

Worse than Amerikaz Nightmare? :beli: (which had a few dope joints)

Worse than Blood Money? :banderas:

:ufdup:


I will be honest, this album was so bad to me that I didn't even bother to purchase Amerikaz Nightmare. although Shorty Wop was the first signs of P spitting again....Blood money had about 5-6 songs I fukked with. I only remember liking Pray For Me, the joint with Ron Isley, and Getaway off Infamy. I hated Hey Luv, as a mobb fan that shyt was a total 180. Burn had a dope beat, but P's verse was so awful I didn't even want to hear the song anymore. I will have to go back and give it another listen though, I was such a huge Prodigy fan back then, his fall off at that time was a sad time for me and I think I've tried to block those years out (2001-2003)

I don't think it's classic, but it's a much better album that what people give it credit for. I even liked the 112 joint. It still sounded like a Mobb joint, just with 112 vocals. I think of it as a remix to the 112 joint that sampled Mobb Deep's "Quiet Storm". Overall, I think Prodigy sounding uninspired is why a lot of people wrote the album off.

It came after they dropped three straight bangers (Infamous, HoE, MM) so this album was seen as a disappointment when it came out, P was especially disappointing on this album. It does have some good tracks tho, and isn't a horrible album (its the last Mobb album I bought), it's just nowhere near on par with their earlier shyt. No way would I consider this shyt a classic.

The real deal truth about this album is that it's a a banger and it aged well. Not a classic though. It was seen as wack at the time because it followed 3 classic Mobb albums and HNIC, but once you got used to P's new flow by 2006 or so and you went back and listened to Infamy it wasn't nearly as bad. Havoc had some fukking heaters on there, one of Alchemist's better Mobb tracks in on there, and it's the last Mobb album that featured all of the classic QB collaborators like Infamous Mobb, Noyd, Chinky, Littles, etc.
