The PRODUCTION was some of their best and darkest on that album, that album is FIRE........ Hav did his thing on that one and it was another Mobb Classic. Drop A Gem and Hell On Earth are two of Havs best beats IMO.
Hell on Earth has some shyt from a production standpoint that's just so crazy. Like, the craziest flips people have heard from Dilla, RZA, Preemo, guys like that...Hav was doing that shyt on Infamous and Hell on Earth. Extreme pitch shifting, bending notes in extreme ways, manipulating simple and short chops to make totally different grooves, taking some of the happiest and upbeat ass samples in the world and twisting them into nightmare fever dream soundscapes...So much of it sounds like it's almost broken, for lack of a better word. There are still beats from that album today where crate diggers and sample nerds haven't identified the samples yet. Also, the album's production breaks so many rules of music theory, and so much shyt on there SHOULDN'T sound good, but yet it does. Crazy stuff.

What was Hav smoking? He really grew into his own as a producer on that album, and P's rhyme style elevated and he came up with totally new flows and pockets than he'd ever used before.

If there's anything to criticize on the production, it's definitely that it is all very similar. But that's where they were. The most tragedies and dark times of P and Hav's personal lives were happening during the making of that album, and the production perfectly represents that.

I always felt like there could be a college course on the production of that album. It's not quite like any production on any other rap album, ever.

Alc just said there a Alc version of the album:damn:
Interesting. I think it may have cannibalized some of the sales, because he deleted the tweet and made a new IG post stating not to rely on an ALC Edition release of the album, and that this copy on the Mass Appeal website is the one to buy

Kanye is garbage overall, dude is a bad rapper and always has been, his whole career

You are way out of pocket simultaneously trying to say that everything is subjective and then in the same breath calling anyone who disagrees with your opinion sheep

Please stop

All I will say is Animal Instinct doesn't sound like extortion that doesn't sound like nighttime vultures which doesn't sound like give it up fast. And none of those sound like the singles. But this all relative :hubie:
We'll never get beats like Extortion ever again:to:

The sample for More Trife Life just got found this year and the sample for Get Dealt With just got found in 2023 and they're both crazzzyyyy. The title track sample just got found in 2022 and is also insanely simple but so tricky. Another part of Apostle's Warning was recently found too besides the famous Michael Jackson part.

I'm pretty sure that the samples are still not known or figured out by anyone for Bloodsport, Man Down, Nighttime Vultures, or Give It Up Fast.

:wow: Hav is an alien brehs...

Props, dope post. Haven't heard HOE in a minute, but it's definitely going to be in the Playlist once the weather gets colder. I actually only really properly absorbed The Infamous last year, and that album blew my mind. The production, especially, with the eerie samples and hard drums...some of the best I've ever heard.

Prodigy on Hell on Earth is the single greatest performance from an MC on any album start to finish imo.

Its also one of the most cohesive albums of all time, its just pure anger and violence from start to finish.

I'm also in agreement that Murda Muzik has to go down as a classic.
