Keep forgetting QTip had a hand (pun intended) in the Infamous production
Let me pick an unfamiliar Mobb track, then
Mobb Deep - Crawlin' - YouTube
His production is mad underrated. Nobody ever brings up his name
I disagree. He still makes good beats, he just doesnt get the right placements.for good reason...he was hot in the mid to late 90s, and there was mad hype surrounding him, but he fell off serious after that and now hes not mentioned. Sort of like Prodigy. Mobb Deep is still my favorite duo tho.

His last commercial song was Why? and that was a top 40 hit. His song on Eminiem's Recovery was nice too. He can make the music, but can he get the placements? The old dark sound just isnt poppin anymore. G-Unit, D-Block and that hard rap isnt popular.
Right now its all about that Rick Ross, Kanye West, flossing type of music. Justice League, Mike Will, Swizz Beats, Kanye etc. Besides that it's trap music and it's been like that since like Gucci's surge in 2007. None of the popular rappers right now are the type that would want Hav for a beat.
Havoc should of had an alchemist type career...and alc still stays true to his style, while also remaining relevant, and has been for well over a decade. Havoc has been a real mixed bag at best, since he abandoned his hard edged east coast style from the 90s.

to each is own, but i disagree with hav fallen of production wise. to me he more liked evolved, from his early days. the 1st disc off that free agents mixtapepersonally i've felt that was some of havs best work and showed he's not some outdated producer who can't keep up with times. his beats has always been a ny sound and artist today aint looking for that.
hav was droppin some under the radar heat from 00s
First of all, FREE AGENTS WAS RAW! Hot damn, that was a hot double disc. Yep, Hav had some slaps on there, but overall I just havent been feelin him since the 90s outside of a beat or two, and I dont think Im alone on that. The kush was ass. A great producer doesnt make a horrible record like that.
