“There’s a war going on outside no man’s safe from. You can run but you can’t hide forever…” I got the tape back in may ‘95. I was moving into my dorm and I had the tape booming. All of sudden, 5 NY cats came to the room banging on the door. I opened and they was like “Yo son! What borough you from?” I was like “borough?” Kinfolk I’m from Norf Gulfport, Ms. Them dudes stepped back and was like “Word!?!” We been best friends since that day. #TheLoo #House5FreestyleComission

I became friends with someone in highschool based on Big L's "The Big Picture" album. Me and some of my friends were getting a ride home one day. The guy driving was bumping Big L's "Ebonics". None of friends had heard it before. I then proceeded to pull out the CD from my backpack. Me and the guy driving remained friends for a number of years before having a recent beef. Always sad to lose long term friends.

For me it's never changed in almost 30 years: Hell On Earth over The Infamous and It Was Written over Illmatic.

Prodigy is in my top 10 of all time- hell he's in my top 5 from his solo shit alone. It's amazing everytime he pairs up with Alchemist! ARGUE WITH ME!

No need to argue, because his solo albums/him pairing up with Alchemist (my favorite being HNIC 2) is straight classic material. Period.

TBH ILLMATIC made the anticipation for THE INFAMOUS even crazier. Nas made it to where NYC wanted anything coming outta QB /Queens cause they had one of the Illest Waves during the 90s. Mobb Deep's The Infamous album definetley showed n proved!!!

As a Ny Representer Mobb Deep /Infamous was the soundtrack of our lives I remember goin to see my pop on his last bid he was being deported We had infamous on blast on that trip back and fourth in that ride The infamous album is a hip hop master piece can’t pick a fav song & such but could put ya on to what songs to listen to off the back of my head trife life give up the goods drink away the pain those jus sleepers thanks so much for this Fun Fact: There another version of Eye for an Eye ft Ghostface

I was just riding to work tonight and that song “QU Hectic “ came on my shuffle and I was like perfect timing because that beat has got to be one of the most chilling grimiest beat I ever heard on a song, especially at night. RIP Prodigy 🙏

Always respected how well Mobb Deep could story-tell in their songs. Take it in blood, Bloodshed and War, Party Over, Qu-hectic, Temperature Rising, Up North Trip...Just to name a few. “Grab my Pelle Pelle cuz I wanna look fly when I die, but it ain’t my turn to say goodbye”

Wish Take it in Blood was on the album

I watched pretty much every mobb deep interview and footage of mobb deep and this is really accurate. Love from Amsterdam, The Netherlands 🇳🇱

No specific order: -Shook Ones -Trife Life -Survival of The Fittest -Give Up The Goods Q.U Hectic This whole record is Bumping! It’s in my playlist to this day and atleast every other day I listen to a Mobb Deep song. Straight up!

This album basically started three beefs. [The Infamous Prelude] got Prodigy into beef with Keith Murray & Redman, Survival Of The Fittest got Mobb Deep into beef with 2Pac and Trife Life kinda somewhat started Prodigy's beef with Jay-Z as on Jay-Z's song Where I'm From, Prodigy said Jay-Z subliminally threw a shot at him based off a part from Prodigy's verse on Trife Life. Prodigy said "This n***a Jay-Z is taking little jabs at us on songs. I said if you listen to “cough up a lung where I’m from Marcy son” [Where I’m From] the n***a not only does he have the plastic cup in his hand and he got the football jersey, but the n***a said a line in his rhyme where he said “I’m from a place where you and your mans hung in every verse in ya rhyme. So when I heard that, I was like, “Who is Jay talking about who is talking about hanging in Marcy in they line?” Then I thought about Trife Life in my verse I said “jetted through Marcy ‘cause D’s [detectives] ain’t baggin’ me” because I was out there. I was f**kin’ with my n***as from Marcy. That’s where I be at before all that Jay-Z s**t. Those were n***as I went to school with. So now I ain’t peep it back then when that song came out, but down the line when I’m in the studio talking to Nas around that time I peeped it. I’m like aww he talking about me in that song yo and he bit our shit with the little plastic cups in the hood and if you do the research and history of it, Jay-Z was on some speed boat in the Bahamas Versace type of shit. Then Shook Ones came out, then Jay came with the plastic cups, football jerseys in the projects, taking jabs at us"

I really don't view Mobb Deep as being underrated. They left their mark in the mainstream and the noncommercial circles. It is a good thing they never signed to Bad Boy, that would have led to the usual BS that happens to Puff's rosters.

This album is beautiful and resonates with me . I used to live In Long Island but I would always drive to queens bumping this album, it’s an amazing vibe listening to this album on a late night drive through queens . Qu hectic, temperature rising, survival of the fittest , & shook ones 2 are my favorite tracks

"Trife Life" will always be my favorite track on the album. It's always something about "It's just another day drowning my troubles in a 40" over a Norman Connors sample that hits all kinds of majestic avenues for me

Thanks for doing this video. Still listen to Mobb religiously. The best duo in history of rap.

Temperature’s Rising & Give Up The Goods 🔥🔥 love from Pittsburgh bro bro

Temperatures Rising is definitely my favorite on the album.

maan just imagine puffy being on infamous album... on the megaphone, shouting and shi+

His voice and description of his lifestyle with HAVOC period!!!! His VOICE is the greatest voice in HIP HOP OF ALL TIME!!! HE HAS THAT GOAT RIGHT NO DOUBT FRESH OUT DA BOX!!!

Not for nothing.. but my favorite Mobb Deep Album 💿 is hell on earth

Im from Detroit. The song Hectic is super slept on and legendary. Good work dog. 💥💥💥💥💥

These are legends this is timeless music timeless album I do not want people to say this album is old I can play this today and act like it just came out today the mobb deep is a legendary group ever came out and this album got me through some dark times but my favorite song there's no skips but my favorite q.u.-hectic I love his verse havoc don't get me wrong I love both of them ain't nothing soft so sweet I'll lift you off your feet

One of my absolute favorite albums ever , Survival Of The Fittest is still home chilling to this very day ! Such a poetic track of the concrete jungle they lived in at the time , Temperatures Rising is also a big highlight for me , shit the whole LP ! Prodigy was top 5 dead or alive on this joint

Not only did you lay it out excellently I even thought I was in QB whole video, this was a journey.

I'm about to listen to your analysis of this classic album as I'm walking my route. Even before listening to the whole thing I got to tell you this is much appreciated. Born in Brooklyn but raised out in Long Island this album is definitely in my top 10 favorite hip hop albums of all time. Salute 2 you my Guy! 🙏🏾👊🏾🙌🏾

God damn, amazing video brother. You did well to condense so much into 30 minutes, that must have been a hell of a task. Had to sub of course! RIP Prodigy

Salute back! Partially what inspires me is before I had KZread I would talk music with my friends and they never knew anything about older hip-hop and some even called it trash. Ever since I've started KZread some of those friends now watch my videos and see the bigger picture and actually listen to some of those people they once called trash. I don't think my generation would be interested in listening to someone that's older telling the history and would be more intrigued by someone more their age. I've also had people message me and say that they saw a video I did on an upcoming artist but liked my work so much they just started checking out all my videos and learned about stuff in the '90s and early 2000s. I thank my dad for crafting my music taste ever since I was young because without him I don't know if I would be on this platform right now talking about music

Definitely one of my top 10 favorite albums right here. I was just listening to this while taking my hour ride to visit my parents' the other day. This is one of the jawns you can listen to straight through without skipping a song. Temperature Rising, SOTF, Up North Trip, Party's Over (tell the rest of the crew!), and Give Up The Goods are my favorites. Brings back some good fckn memories. Edit: God did his work when Mobb Deep met a young white kid named Alchemist. This shit changed everything (in a good way). RIP Prodigy

Dope affffff! Thanks! That's a album was so dense. Brilliant music

i wish more people did videos on Mobb Deep. Prodigy was a true inspiration, a solid man till the end 💯 thank you for the dope content again!

I saw them perform @ 4th and B in San Diego. Truly a honor R.I.P. Prodigy Big homie. Favorite song "Going Diamond" . Thanks for making this video. 🔥🔥💯😎👍

icredible man you never miss ,good job my boy

You just gave me inspiration to listen to the album all day. Clearly one of the best hip hop albums ever

Def a classic that will never be overlooked in their discography. They have two more that should discussed which is Hell on Earth & Murda Musik.

Asked for this months ago, glad you did it

This is solid work. Salut!

Yo clout l like your hip hop journalism you really do research IAM fan of the 90's era so when I here things like this it's ill I like the way you break the artist story keep it up I like this Mobb deep one you did bless

I would listen to The Infamous everyday day on my way to the gym, pumps you up. Great album from all the way through.

Definitely a Classic as someone else stated. This album especially Shook Ones Part 2 and survival of the fittest woke me up and it changed raps Direction at the time. It definitely influence me to stop just riding and to actually spit my verses out loud. It also was a catalyst for me recording my first song. Big Ups to both of you havoc and Prodigy big noyd and everyone on the album you guys changed my life.

Whole shit from front to back "Start of Your Ending" to "Party's Over"

i also wanna add that for Q.U Hectic, there’s another version w/ a different beat and title called “Keepin it Real”. it has a sample of AZ in the hook as well

This video is very much appreciated. If I could like this 100 times I would. Thank you for shinning light on this album. Infamous >>> Illmatic🤷🏼‍♀️ 1. QU/Hectic 2. Right Back At You 3. Trife Life 4. Give Up The Goods 5. Up North Trip Favorite Verse: Prodigy’s 2nd Verse on QU/Hectic

My top 5 songs from the album are. Give up the goods, eye for an eye, start of your ending, temperature rising, shook one's pt 2. Showing love from Jersey

My favorite Duo of all time and it's not even close! #THEINFAMOUSMOBBDEEP

I remember hearing Shook Ones II for the first time! It came on Power 99 in Philly. It was like NOTHING I've ever heard! Been rockin wit them guys ever since, and Noyd, he was nice too!

Outkast, Ugk, Mobb Deep, Eight ball and MJG, classic groups in the 90's 🔥

In my thirties and this is one of the best albums I've ever heard and one of my all time favourites. Know most songs word for word, literally the only song I don't like is the one featuring Q-Tip because it sounded so out of place lol. Good job on the vid anyways.

One of my best group ever!

He did a song in spanish on that HNIC 3- man that album is one of the best from NY on GOD!

Can’t have any favorites off the album, this joint is a masterpiece!! NO SKIPS playboi

Madrid city SB/PC 16 blocks ! Aye The start of the ending so ill… “… it all begin in the streets…” up north Right back at you super combo And then the 2 hits !! Classic

I used to buy 99 singles in Chicago down the street at Mac's while working at my pop's store. One I got was the original Shook Ones provided a year before the Infamous came out. I always liked their sound and thought Mobb Deep was a cool name. When they came out with their album, my boy had it and I was like 'Mobb Deep!!' because I knew it was going to be special, but little did I know....

“Getaway” is one of my top 3 favorite beats of all time no cap

"Ain't nothing soft or sweet, I'll lift you off your feet When I cock back the heat, whole crews retreat" 💯🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
