Soul Strut 100: # 43 - Mobb Deep - The Infamous

[jlee]

all I know is until this day, every time I walk down 7th ave, my dumb ass will inevitably rap





"Said the Brinks is comin through, at Fashion Avenue


At Tuesday at two, Now we gotta forum a crew, of motherfuckers


who ain't goin out like suckers


Told me call Karl Kani, and all my other brothers"

b/w Ridin Dirty is a WAAAAAAAAAAAY better album.

DOR said:I think some have issue with this album because of the production on the albums that followed seemed to not evolve much. So when they try to rate Infamous, they tend to be subconsciously including their other musical output into things.




I didnt read one post where someone mentioned their overall output.

I wasn't referencing to a post in this thread. I wrote "subconsciously including their other musical output into things".





I mention it because there was a post or two talking about the "Hell on Earth" and repetitive snare and it reminds me of many conversations I've had with people IRL (like in record stores) over the years on Mobb Deep.





In any case. Any strutter can post their top 25 hip hop LPs of all time and I guarantee there will be someone one out there that will hate on every album on your list.





No big deal.

Hey,





Oooooh, is this my soundtrack from my early adulthood!!! I play "The Infamous" to this very day, and my favorites include "Shook Ones, Part 2", "Give Up the Goods", "Up North Trip", and "Temperature Rising." Progidy and Havoc put it all together like no other time on the "Infamous", and I'm glad to see the LP recognized for the Soul Strut 100. This album represents hip-hop at its grittiest, aboslute best!





Peace,





Big Stacks from Kakalak

All my shit-talking a few weeks back and now I can't seem to take Cradle to the Grave off repeat in my truck.
