Mobb Deep Album: “The Infamous Archives [PA]”

This is a very good product. On the first CD there are some old unreleased joints, from the "Hell On Earth" period in the mid nineties. The beats are really grimey: the infamous touch is back. The best ones are "Everyday Gunplay", "Reach", "Perfect Plot", "Block life". On the CD 2 the songs are more recent. The beats look like those on "Amerika's Nightmare". This Cd is not good as the first, but there are 2 killer infamous tracks: "gangstas roll" and "My Priorities". To finish it's a good acquisition, and the quality of the sound is much better than in the "Mobb Misses" mixtapes.

if you love the mobbs gritty sound and raw beats,then this is for you,both cds were a great addition to my collection.even as much as i like the whole g-unit crew,some from g-unit do appear on the cds,but its not overly done with just g-unit,the mobb was allowed to shine again,plus a huge line up of different rappers,makes for great varity throo the album.....well done mobb

J-Love comes to bring you 28 tracks of some of the MO double B's rarer tracks, on the first disc you have 14 songs that sound like they're mostly from the mid 90's, on disc 2 you get 14 songs that are more recent and recorded over the past 6 years or so. If you're a die hard Mobb fan you've undoubtedly have heard some of these before (I've heard about 8 or 9 of them), but it's still an album you have to get. Guests are on about 2/3 of the tracks. Production credits as well as the guests aren't given any credit as to who they are. Prodigy is on 25 of the 28 songs and Havoc is on 21 of the 28. It has 10 average songs and the other 18 are good or real good songs. A must have for true Mobb fans.
