Why is Unreleased Mobb Deep shit so lit?

[Rev Jones]

in case some of you haven't done so yet peep Big Noyd's 1996 debut album 'Episodes of a hustla' on Tommy Boy. except for the intro & the remixes (some versions have 2 remixes, some only one) all the tracks are Havoc productions. there's 2 Mobb Deep features & 5 Prodigy features. that's a shitload of MOBB. not classic material maybe but an interesting listen nevertheless



0:00 1. It’s On You (Intro)
1:29 2. The Precinct (Interlude)
3:03 3. Recognize & Realize Pt. 1 (Prodigy of Mobb Deep)

the Recognize & Realize beat is vintage Hav


anybody looking to collect unreleased Mobb shit could look for the Mobb Misses series. there's at least four volumes that I'm aware of. sound quality isn't always great though

young luv is dope

Second CD from The Infamous Mobb Deep is full of gems as well. Probably listened to the Survival of the Fittest remix more than the original

[UncontrolledSubstans]

Why are all artist's originals, b-sides or remixes in general more "lit"?

[rainbow]

Probably listened to the Survival of the Fittest remix more than the original

agreed (and the original is one of my favourite md tracks).

this track was released at the time, but oop by now. but of mashup.



i played this xzibit album thousands of times, incidentally. Foundation is a bit of a slept on gem.

LOL@Mobb Deep's song title Fuck That Bitch hahahahahahahaha. Lee Towers, Mobb Deep and Big Noyd did a song called Shoot Em Up 2 on Big Noyd's Only The Strong Survive album. They sampled The Deele's Shoot Em Up Movies song. Shoot Em Up 2 is a nice jam. Babyface and LA Reid used to be with The Deele and I got their first classic album Street Beat. The group members got jhericurls and wearing makeup in the album pictures looking like women hahahahahahahahahaha. I love their songs Body Talk, Just My Luck, Sexy Love and Crazy Bout Cha.

(^ "Hell On Earth" session, with Tragedy)

this album is LIT too... Big Noyd was signed to Tommy Boy in like '95 and got a budget to record an album. remember how tight Noyd was on all those guest verses, album is very short but features Mobb Deep or Prodigy on two tracks and all beats (bar maybe one or two) is produced by Havoc in his prime... PEEP IT

[jbconline]

They have a lot of unreleased songs which i liked more info on release year etc leftover etc Some tracks on Mobb misses pt 2 - Pyramid points , rap columbo ,
who wanna test Feat Infamous mobb (could be 1996) ,thugged out feat Infamous mobb .
Compilations were released like The safe is cracked , the infamous archives ,
They have alot of unreleased when they werent signed to a label leftovers from amerikazz nightmare to Blood money.

this is why i cant listen to mobb deep.

every tech verse > mobb deep

[Mumm Ra]

every tech verse > mobb deep

hahhaha gtfo this aint a tech thread
tech has stage presence but lame studio albums/ tracks with the entertainment value of reading an encyclopedia. also notable is him having 1/20th the career of mobb

every mobb track that didn't even make an album > every tech verse

[soul controller]

thats cool, your view bro
