Dope news for Mobb Deep definately.

I didn't know about any Big L double album, what material they gonna use for that cause I thought they struggled to fill his last album didn't they?

some dude from the uk said he heard finesse on the 279 show talking about it and there was a 90% chance it would be coming out. they said they struggled to fill the big picture but i find that hard to believe because he still has at least 35 unreleased tracks with coc not to mention the bunch of tracks that were left off of lifestylez. i mean damn they didn't even put the full 98 freestyle on there but yet they put on two heist versions and then they went and remixed holdin it down with stan spit when party artys verse was much better. its ridiclous how they so much spent time redoing tracks and mixing in freestyles over beats when he still has alot of unreleased material left.

I don't know about this.  I'm sure Mobb signed to Jive, but not for 10 million and half the cut.  I don't know much about record company contracts but that sounds too good to be true.

It sounds pretty damn great for the Mobb, I hope it's true. Dope news actually, I'm lookin forward to that new album even though Infamy wasn't really classic shit

A Big L double album's gonna drop ? I've never heard bout that plus I did hear bout them struggling to fill up The Big Picture too, they even had the exact same version of "The Enemy" on it that's on the D.I.T.C. album

10 million for Mobb Deep?  :o

I don't believe that before I see the contract or Havoc confirms it.
If it's true, it's a strange deal.. Prodigy is gettin weaker and weaker.
Havoc is one of the most underrated producers ever.

big mobb deep fan here

I gotta qurestion  if they are worth that much thou. Coz are pure street & usually dont go more than platinum

Still maybe They will be promoted better by Jive & blow up more. Its a good deal that rather than getting crumbs off the table like most major labels do to  most artists they are giving them a proper & fair cut

Fake... I would like to see Mobb Deep sign to a major soon... but I'm pretty sure this isn't authentic.

Didnt Snoop get 26 million for bringin Doggystyle to MCA?

If thats true, I couldt definatly see Mobb Deep getting their 10 mil.  Besides Outkast, theyre my favorite, and one of the dopest groups out there.  Plus they're always on that street shit, which is becoming more popular thanks to Mr 50

jive may have already heard some of the mobb deep stuff which has been in the making for a long while (murder musik soundtrack) and been impressed with it
