Our Take
Our Take
In the immortal words of the legendary MOBB DEEP, "Quiet storm." And boy, do they bring the thunder on their classic album "Infamous."
From the moment you press play, you're transported to the gritty streets of Queensbridge, New York. The production, helmed by Havoc, is gritty and unrelenting, setting the perfect backdrop for Prodigy's razor-sharp lyrics.
Tracks like "Shook Ones Pt. II" and "Survival of the Fittest" are masterclasses in hardcore hip hop, with Prodigy's unapologetic rhymes painting a vivid picture of life in the projects. The guest appearances from the likes of Nas and Raekwon only serve to elevate the album to new heights.
But it's not all doom and gloom on "Infamous." Tracks like "Temperature's Rising" and "Give Up the Goods" show a softer, more introspective side to the duo, proving that there's more to MOBB DEEP than just raw aggression.
In conclusion, "Infamous" is a testament to the duo's talent and influence in the rap game. It's a raw, unfiltered look at life in the projects, delivered with passion and precision. MOBB DEEP may be infamous, but on this album, they're nothing short of iconic.
