Now this is what I'm talking about, this is the Mobb Deep that I'm familiar with...Prodigy on the verses dropping HEAT and Havoc on the boards unleashing his wrath..lol

Seriously though this is a banger, it's like Mobb Deep's version of Nas's "Lost Tapes", in that this was music not released anywhere else but here and the artist had no intention of ever releasing it and then you come to find out there's a bunch of gems on here, I think this was recorded in 2004 and 2005 before these dudes sold their souls to 50 and G-Unit.

Mobb Deep didn't even authorize it's release but luckily siccness.net has exposed us to some really "old" school grimey Mobb Deep...it is definitely to our benefit, and should help us to forget that disaster named "Blood Money" with 50's imprint all over it

Havoc produces every single cut on this joint and Prodigy handles all the verses, there are NO guest appearances on it...out of all the cuts contained on it there is only about 2 that I'm not feeling, so that's alot of cuts of pure dopeness to keep that head bobbin....

My Top Five Are:
Infamous
M.O.B.
Position
Watch Ya Self
Can't Win For Losin'

this is one you need to add to your collection ASAP!

This album of mobb deep is tight..is more of there signature style of murderous dark rhymes. both havoc and prodigy have came like there real raw uncut flows on this album. I thank it's more of there unreleased tracks off other stuff that did'nt make the cuts of past album but way way better then blood money. Trust me it is....lets see how the next g-unit mobb deep album turns out (lol) now that was garbage blood money. but over all the productions are bangging on the safe is crack'd. This album is not a g-unit album it's a siccness.net album.

Pretty good album overall. The production is decent and the lyrics are what you expect from these guys.

Great album. As much of the Mobb Deep collection you can pop it in and play the entire cd thru. Prodigy and Havoc were focused recording this one. Wish it was longer and could use a couple more tracks.

Mobb Deep returns after almost 3 years since their last group album, and this one is a very good album of previously recorded songs that thank God got released. I didn't even know about this and just happened to run into it when I was in Best Buy last week and glad I did. With 12 songs, each one has Havoc and Prodigy and only one guest on one song. A lot of the songs I do believe were recorded around 2005-2006, but don't sound dated and are very good. You have 2 classics, 2 almost classics, and the other 8 are good, and mostly real good songs. Again you get a lot of street and gangsta tales with their lyrics, but again, if the formula ain't broke, don't fix it. Production is handled entirely by Havoc, and is very good as well. A must have album from Mobb Deep and my favorite group album they've put out since "Infamy" in 2001.

To all the Mobb Deep fans who follow them since "Juvenile Hell" / their First release. Mobb Deep comes back on this album with something new and fresh who reminds me more about the style of The Infamous era. Great album from the Mobb. If you're a Mobb Deep deep fan you can't miss this release. Better than what they did on G-Unit records.

Peace to Havoc and Prod

First of all, I am a big MD fan and have all of the albums and solo albums. So...

This CD does not have a single track on it which I felt needed to be saved into my music collection. There is not a sngle beat on here that really caught me. I am very disappointed; Havoc is a better producer than this. ALso, the hooks are weak. I know they aren't known for great hooks, but come on. Even their voices sound less powerful... I think the vocals could have used some more reverb on some of the tracks. I am glad to know (from reading other reviews) that this material was originally meant to be unreleased. It should have stayed that way.

If you want a decent Mobb Deep album from within the past few years, grab "Product of the 80s" by Prodigy. It is much better.

And one other thing: a lot of music fans tend to talk trash about "trendy" music and MD fans are apparently no exception... there is a lot of hate on the album they did with G-Unit. They like this CD because it is more "raw". The reality is, if you take all the politics and BS out of the equation and just actually listen to the music and judge it by how it sounds, this CD is so much worse it's not even funny.

No sadly i don't think they could top The Infamous or Hell on Earth but this is still a banger. Mobb Deep fans will bump dois

Basically, this album contains unreleased tracks of the newer, wack-styled Mobb Deep.

Don't buy it. Instead purchase "The Infamous Archives", which is two Cds of the great, raw Mobb Deep that true heads will remember from the 90s and early 2000s.

Skip this, unless you are into the crappy and commercial Mobb Deep style of recent years...

Hip Hop is dead... and i'm not just saying this to b funny. today's artist are making me long for the days of ole school hip hop.
