Mobb Deep - Hell On Earth 20th Anniversary Official Celebration/Appreciation Thread Free Daps

[JAY?]

Fresh out the motherfukker pack a rare world premier
Shook individual bounce in blind fear
Scared to death nikkas fall to they worst fear
Horror tales in Braille, for vision impaired
You looking for P, well you can find him everywhere
In a project near you, I'll be right there
I was brought up and taught to have no fear
Live wire nikkas they behind me in the rear
Cowardly hearts, step aside, stand clear

That line always sticks out to me
I was just gonna post that line alone
But I just pasted a little bit more
Too fukkin dope

I'm pretty sure he would do a AMA over here if we ask him

 

[JAY?]

It's crazy how well these albums hold up
Had me in the car like

Now I'm numbed up
From a fiery cup
Of hell juice
It's sins nectar
Satans fountain of youth

Who writes shyt like that brehs

And even before those lines

Ayo, I hopped out the Lexus, holdin' my necklace
I'm bent off some next shyt
Gasoline with, a kerosene twist
Stumbling

His flow was crazy right there

 

[TripleAgent]

Brilliant album.

 

[3rdWorld]

Classic..arguably the greatest duo.

My question is, what about the songs that didn't make the final official cut.
I want them..

 

[Newportbox]

P in his prime, Havoc with the atmospheric, sinister production. Hell On Earth is classic material.

Amazing dark sonic landscape...word to @Art Barr. Could just listen to the instrumentals and paint your own pictures.

Intense lyrics and delivery. Even Lost Boyz were happy/jovial street dudes, the early Mobb Deep sound was savage. I still prefer The Infamous though

As much as I love NY rap, ocassionally wished I had grown up there, the level of street fukkery illustrated on albums like this made me realize, even with our own version of street shiit, how chill my existence was being born/raised in small town Eastern North Carolina in the late 90s. Even though everybody dressed like NY dudes in the late 90s..

With that said, I can imagine one listening to this album, getting motivated to make positive moves, cause of its intensity.

"Hell On Earth", "God Father Part III", and "Give It Up Fast" best tracks.

[Gryme]

from the same era, you can tell P wrote their verses clearly....

 

[newworldafro]

The drums on this album tho

As someone who actually plays the drums, I think Havoc might have the best drums in hip hop

Never thought about but you right after relistening.

 

[Piff Perkins]

Man crazy how in 96 you had P, Nas, Meth, and Rae basically being the best rappers alive and all of them had wildly differently rhyme styles and images.
