Mobb Deep Free Agents Appreciation Thread

The Illest and Backwards

Their best piece of work after the well known holy trinity!

Have this on vinyl!

The GOAT producer Hav did Midnight Creep

No doubt. This was a dope vinyl. Originally 1st Infantry was gonna be a crew with Al, Ev, P, Hav and Twins.Then it ended up being what we all know it as.

I got this vinyl at college radio pretty hyped. I remember being surprised that Hav did Midnight Creep because Al was using a lot of horn samples at the time.

That mid 00's Jive era Mobb Deep (basically from Free Agents through up until G-Unit/Blood Money) is where I'm pretty sure Al and Hav were making a lot of beats together and had a lot of similar sounding joints. Both before and after that 2003-2005 era they had more signature sounds, but during that Jive era a lot of their sounds blended together.

Mobb Deep had a fire mixtape run in the early 2000’s. Heavily underrated.

 

[Deltron]

i think that mixtape before 9/11 joint was dope...they went over west coast beats if i remember correctly

 

[Monoblock]

I have about 4 of these Mobb Deep- Mobb Misses mixtapes from back in the day. Got to go through em later

 

[THE 101]

The first disc was aight. Had a few bangers but nothing special.

The bonus disc was crazy though.

Back when Al was cooking up on the ASR-10


Even though I’m probably in the minority I prefer Alchemist style now than his 2000-2010 style but the beats he was making with the Mobb are probably some of his greatest beats in my opinion

I think people were glad it wasn’t Infamy.

but in hindsight I think the hate towards infamy was a little bit overinflated just because of such a drastic change in P’s style combined with him being sick when recording a good portion of it.

and cats really hated that 112 record

Not on Free Agents but this was around the same around period and fire

Infamy was actually fire. Prodigy wasnt lyrical on it but song for song it was dope
