Factual. This album brings me back to a time where my homies were burning me CDs when they bought them and the camaraderie of friends who would share shyt w you even tho you couldn't afford it/weren't old enough to buy shyt etc.

Something about this era was so dope. Maybe it's the nostalgia talking, but as someone who grew up in the 90s this new age music all kind of blends together for me. the production all sounds the same, teh cadence for the most part does too... at least shyt seemed differentiated a littel more back then.

Alchemist and Havoc killed the production. It sounded so cohesive. I remember I had an advanced copy and some of the songs were slightly censored with dope sound effects like swords and shyt lol.

Also that Kanye production is vintage as it gets. Violin and everything at the end.

I completely forgot about that Kanye song. Aroudn that tiem it sounds like he used the same shyt on so many beats. I swear that "throw your hands' was on "I try" as well as that mobb song

Blinded by science was flipped into such a gutta track

"When U here The" was the last time the Mobb kept the tradition of sampling Scarface on their albums.

I love that beat. I also love when rappers use the sounds from the beat in the chorus. "When you hear the....it's on"

This and Free Agents was Mobbs Last true run...I loved both !

 

[ℒℴѵℯJay ELECTUA]

Al won that shyt hands down.

 

[ChuckTaylor84]

It's a good album

 

[mbz]

I mean it was good, but shyt was ass compared to Infamous and Hell on Earth

"Win or lose" is still one of my favourite Alchemist beats and Mobb songs

The transition from the original sample to the beat dropping here was masterful:



Edit: Starts at 2:45

MY favorite track

Win or lose is one of my favorite alchemist tracks but it’s only great cause of how prodigy killed it
