Title: Mobb Deep - Infamy
Post by: _That_Cracka_J on July 17, 2003, 11:19:26 PM
Why does everyone hate on this album so much?  One of my favorite Mobb Deep songs is on here, "Home".  "Get away" and "Live foul" are dope too.

This whole cd is dope...i think their last 2 cds (Murda Mixtape and Infamy) have been their best 2 and i think this one is still the better of the 2...i love every track on this...my favorites will always be "Get Away" and "Hey Luv" though...damn...i didnt even know ppl were hating on this...i've never read reviews for it...but shit i love this cd.

It just seems like whenever there is a Mobb Deep thread, people always say how this album was garbage and it's their worst album and shit.

i dont think i could ever say mobb deep is garbage...the only album mobb deep related i wasnt feeling was prodigy - H.N.I.C....but i also heard that when it first came out and havent heard it since...i might actually like that now...i dont know.

people hate for these reasons

1.  P was a shadow of his former self on here.  Lyrically he was about as bad as snoop gets.  People couldnt believe this was the same guy that rhymed on the infamous an hell on earth.  He sounded dead.  No motivation what so ever.  Atleast on the murda mix tape he sounded hungry again for most of it

2.  Havoc's production was sought of different.  it wasnt as dark as it usually is but it was dope none the less.  Havoc = most underatted producer in rap

3.  Hey luv,  every1 viewed this track as mobb deep selling out.  Could it be them growing as artist tho..... ofcourse not according to just about every1.  I think it was them growing as artist n trying to push units.  god forbid they wanna push more than gold for once.  me personally i thought i was a dope track

If this wasnt a mobb deep album people would of said it was a decent album.  But since mobb deep has so much classic material,  the infamous an hell on earth.  an than 2 dope as fuck albums,  murda muzik an pee's HNIC peeps were disapointed.  I would give this album a 3.25/5.  this album is no where near murda muzik let alone the infamous an hell on earth.  that is why people hate

This album certainly is not as bad as people make it out to be.  It's just like how people treat Nas' Nastradamus.  I swear people just hear "Hey Luv" and "You Owe Me" and conclude the album is trash.  Maybe it's because both artists have solid classic material before and it's a let-down but both these albums are 8/10 to me.

Redman's Malpractice is probably in the same boat as these two.

Yeah I agree, I wouldn't call those albums trash...just a bit below par compared to their other releases...I still like them a lot

the thing is...the worst work to come out of mobb deep or nas is still way better than half the artists out there. even the worst shit to come from them is above average.

I don't know....with the exception of "Big girl" and "Shoot 'em up", I did not like Nastradamus at all....

Many people say that "infamy" was their worst album cuz of 2 reasons.

1. Shitty ass production

2. Prodigy

I gotta agree with this...after droppin murda muzik...which was a pretty dope album...they come up with this bullshit...this album really dissapointed me...

So many things where to start  ??? ... One problem was Chris 'Lightly' had waay too much creative control and influence over the project. I read about it in some source or XXL, he would be in the sessions with them putting his input in on how songs should sound etc. That right there is what fucked up the album from a directional standpoint.

As far as production, I think 90% of that was Havoc's neglect of the SP-808 or whatever he uses as a sampler. You look at all the past Mobb albums and all you find tons of samples in every song, but with this album there are only a few noticeable sampled records and they seem to come more from the outside producers.

Lyrics... all prodigy. Who knows what was going on with that. Maybe too much  8)

All and all was a decent album. I’d put it above “juvenile hell” any day.
