Immobilarity being trash is one of the biggest myths in hip hop history

Raekwon Explains The Meaning Of "Immobilarity"


Radio Network about how he came up with "Immobilarity" as the album's title.



"I had broke down the initials, and... my definition of 'Immobilarity' was 'I-Master-More-Opponents-By-Implementing-Loyalty-And-Respect-In-The-Youth,'"Raekwon began
"So that's that, you know. That was like my little way of saying that, 'Yo, I'm constantly making sure I stay in they face,' you know? Because [young people are] the future, and I wanted to be able to bring more food to the table, food


for thought to the table." [RealVideo]

Raekwon is currently on a short promotional tour, which will bring him to The Wiz in New York City on Tuesday.

nah, the company Micheal Corleone was dealing with in Godfather 3 was called Immobiliaire.

that's the obvious title inspiration.

 

[call_me_step_daddy]

that album is a dud and its nothing any of you Rae fans can do to change that fact

what killed it was those light ass beats thou son.i skipped all them shyts b

 

[The Dust King]

I was 13
playlists.

 

[dappadonna]

It's in my top 5 personal favourites

 

[Kaydigi]

All I got is you pt2 is incredible

went to beef steak Charlie’s and got my first fade cut ..... the imagery was dope

 

[AJaRuleStan]

The album was whatever, however, I always go back and listen to sneakers off this. Its a top Rae song for me.

 

[Soymuscle Mike]

I agree wholeheartedly, I think it's cool and is the same as Tha Doggfather:
Niccas heard (legendary producer) wasn't involved, and made up their minds they
weren't gonna like it.

...but it's Rae over breaks, straight up and down hip-hop.

I swear I been saying/posting this shyt.

Immobilarity
Doggfather
It Was Written

These artists created debut albums that were SO fukking great it made the follow-up seem lackluster, but without the 'sophomore album' context those albums all went hard as fukk.

 

[TrifeGod]

Rae's wordplay and lyricism was beyond godly on that album

Random classic

 

[CHAIN]

You know what I was trying to say.
VHS, cassettes, cd's...= playlists nikka

 

[Zero]

Not as bad as folk say but it was pretty weak.

Stop with the revisionist history. The production was very bland....Rae was still sharp on the mic but the beats just weren't up to par overall

All of this. Booth is wilding more than usual lately

 

[mbewane]

Beats were just too bland. Rae wanted to show he could do it without Rza and Ghost, but still could've gotten 4th, True Master and them

 

[LJLYDK!]

Ain’t no one telling me that Casablanca ain’t Rae on absolute top form. The story telling on it is peak Rae.

 

[DoomzdayzV]

I love this album.....very nostalgic to me. Forcast, Heart to Heart, Yae Yo, Casablanca, My Favorite Dread, Friday, Sneakerz, The Table.....these are all incredible records

the Infinite Arkatekz production was kinda whatever sometimes, but Rae was spitting his ass off dude painted pictures on that album that no one in hip hop either now or back then could ever come close to

 

[Big Mel]

Played this last night in light of this thread. Rae was absolutely rhyming at an incredible level but the beats sound like the type of bland, cinematic stuff that was going around in Queens at the time. Like I could see a Maze & Mussolini album having this type of production.

It does sound better all these years later with ZERO expectations attached. The tail end of the album gets really bad though.

the production on Immobilarity is kind of reminiscent of Melvin Flint the Hustler. you're right.
