Mobb Deep-Infinite (Coming 10/10) Official Thread

[Spidey Man]

Maybe they just don’t like RZA anymore or RZA just don’t like them anymore. RZA has frankly seemed fed up with the Wu as a whole for awhile now. He understands that its his biggest legacy so he won’t outright shyt on them but context clues suggest he doesn’t really want to fukk with them on a business tip and music IS business. He announced the Final Chamber tour would be the last one they do as a group, which seemed to surprise both Rae and Ghost. He didn’t want to be involved in Rae’s plans for a potential Wu-Tang film, instead preferring to go the TV route (the right decision in my opinion) and it just seems like he’s had enough of them second-guessing his decisions and publicly disrespecting him.

I wouldn't blame him. He's put up with a lot of shyt from them over the years.

After reading Raes book an seein the way RZA gets slated. can't blame him

Yep it always seems like Rae always gets his back up in interviews whenever anyone asks him or says something positive about RZA, like he’s always tries trying to downplay what RZA has done lol

Seems like he doesn’t like that RZA is seen as the leader with the vision

I wasn't expecting to enjoy the album this much. It's one of my favorite projects all year. It would have been better if it ended with "Discontinued," but that's the only criticism. I had to get over how much Havoc's voice changed, which was a lot more distracting at first because he has one of the GOAT rap voices and I already got used to Prodigy's voice changing a long time ago.

I'm glad the older rappers have the resources and the energy to put out projects of this quality. I feel like that wasn't an option for them years ago, but the standard has been raised so much in the last decade or so. You could tell me Prodigy is still alive and I would believe you because of how much care and effort was put into this album.

My final year-end review for Infinite

Though darker in comparison to De La Soul’s offering; Havoc and Alchemist’s resurrection of Prodigy’s vocals for one last go round is incredibly true to the late Albert Johnson’s voice and artistry. Never one to sugar coat his message, this album finds Prodigy as paranoid, agitated, prone to conspiracy as ever. It also finds him vulnerable, sad, and with a touch of transcendent brilliance. Prodigy was a man who KNEW he was destined to die young. Whether that be from the disease sickle cell ravaging his body or from the street beef that claims so many black men, Prodigy knew. And so he tried to give his all to every line and bar. Here, there are no wasted verses, for Prodigy understood that time was a luxury he wouldn’t be afforded. Havoc honors his partner by matching his lyrical ferocity and crafting a soundscape that allows both of them to invoke their prime years. This is an album that can stand tall next to The Infamous and Hell on Earth, and with its conclusion there is a certain finality that allows those of us left behind to pray and hope that one of rap’s greatest stalwarts has finally found the peace in the beyond, for an energy such as his cannot be broken or destroyed…

It exists within the Infinite.

4.5/5
