Classic, classic album. 5/5
Definetly in my top 5.
Classic album. I can't believe some of ya'll said Hell On Earth is better than The Infamous. The Infamous is way better than Hell On Earth. LOL@Prodigy on Infamous Prelude saying to all you rap ass niggas with your half ass rhymes talking about how much you get high, how much weed you smoke and that crazy space shit that don't make no sense hahahahahahahahahahahaha. Don't speak to me when you see me. Word. I'm gon have to get on some old high school shit and start punching niggas in they faces for living LOL.
Hell on Earth is better, dont get it twistedQuote:

10/10...
Mobb Deep's Infamous l.p. was released fifteen years ago today and still is as good as ever.
I can tell Havoc was studying Rza's discography while producing this.
who rated it 5? - wtf
But yeah, thiis album is 10/10 for me
however i might place hell on earth just above it as i feel it is more consistent, plus its dark as fuck lol
One of my all-time produced hip-hop albums, EVER!! Bumpin it as Im typing right now .. Classic shidididididitt!!
10. Without any question.
"I'm lethal when i see you, there is no sequel, 24/7 mac 11 is my people."
"Ayo, Queens get the money long time no cash.
I'm caught up in the hustle where the guns go blast.
The fool retalliated so i had to think fast.
Pull out my heat first he pull out his heat last."
Prodigy and Havoc fucking kill this entire album and anyone that thinks otherwise is delirious.
41st side has to be the dopest intro on any hip-hop album.
9.5/10. Classic.
Listening to this right now... 10/10
And Prodigy is getting released soon I think, and his contract with G-Unit finished a while ago so I wanna see if they'll release some real stuff like this
Twenty years ago on the 25th, we were blessed with this street classic, one of my most influential albums of all time.
Mobb Deep's The Infamous album is a classic. How many of ya'll think Outkast are better than them? I got laughed at on here when I posted that Mobb Deep is better than Outkast because Big Boi of Outkast thinks Outkast is the best rap duo LOL. Mobb Deep have made several good albums and Outkast has only made one good album LOL.
I also think the Mobb are better than Outkast. Prodigy in his prime had the dopest voice in hiphop, and Havoc's dark beats were just the icing on the cake. other than Kast's first album, their style was way too unorthodox for my taste.Quote:

Chungsanity, did you know there was a documentary about The Infamous album? I'm looking at it now on Youtube. Check it out if you haven't seen it.
yeah it was real dope. Juvenile Hell wasn't bad but The Infamous was like their real debut album. there wasn't a single filler track and even The Infamous prelude with P talking is a classic.
This dropped 26 years ago. Absolutely perfect album. I was wondering about Q tips involvement beyond the track he produced. i swear I read at some point he was involved or at least provided some more direction on other tracks. Fav Mobb deep album that has stood test of time.
^ He produced 3 tracks and mixed a few others. He helped them get signed IIRC.
I can confirm on the signing, I read about it a good while back. It might have been in P's autobiography.
Congratulations to Havoc on Shook Ones Part II being officially declared the greatest beat of all time in Hip Hop history, props to Prodigy also because all of the samples on that album came from his Grandmother's record collection.. What Havoc did with that Herbie Hancock sample is pure genius. Imagine if Prodigy did not stop him from deleting it.
This got me to wondering about Capone-N-Noreaga's Illegal Life sample and somebody found it in October of last year.

Damn, what a find. I wonder how Hav stumbled across that one.
I met Tragedy Khadafi back in 2019 and he told me the story behind that. He was inside of a corner bodega ordering a sandwich and they were playing a Middle Eastern song in there and Khadafi asked the guy in the store what song it was and then went to a record store and found the record and brought it to Havoc to sample, that is why he received coproduction credit on it.
Infamous dropped thirty years ago today..
Rest In Peace Killah Black, Twin Scarface and Prodigy.
