The only thing I find interesting is that his daughter is not on this. I wonder how she feels about the album.
yup, like instead of doing a part 2 of the same song with the same beat and concept. Give Santana fox a track that shyt would have been so dope, and shes ill and her beat selection is crazy.

We really didnt need that second part with H.E.R. You literally already got the best female vocalist in Jorja Smyth, why go again with a leser artist?

Solid album.

Score Points >>>>

There's a few beats I wasn't digging but overall they did a good job putting this together.

I can never fully get into posthumous albums. It just doesn't feel right when I'm listening to a song that was stitched together without that person's input. Something about that makes me uncomfortable. I felt the same way about the last Tribe album. I'm not even going to listen to the Big L album.
big diff of a posthumous album working with the other half of your group and alc and nas and this...

She’s been promoting it on her socials and Hav said she was in the studio with them while they were crafting the album.

My thinking is they just wanted to keep the album as the essence of who/what Mobb was and stood for. Besides Clipse there’s no other rappers on the album that they hadn’t collaborated with before.

This album is incredible.

ONLY criticism is there isn’t enough differentiation between Down For You parts 1 & 2. I know its a flex to have H.E.R on a track but switch the beat up or something to make it FEEL special. Jorja put more soul and feeling into part 1. Thats the one to keep.

Other than that this is a damn near flawless body of work. No wasted verses, everything was meticulously planned and executed.

I think that Clipse and Nas are getting all of the attention but Ghost and Rae REALLY killed their verses on clear black nights.

Prodigy on Pour The Henny is a verse of the year contender.

Mass Appeal did the damn THING this year. And we still got three more to go!
They says there are ten more songs they didn’t use too, so imo using the same concept song 2x was kind of a puzzling choice. That’s my only gripe with the album

Could also just be a personal decision on her side, that was her father, maybe she doesn't even want to be a part of a Mobb album.

Im not gonna lie I dont think we needed that Clipse verse, they just put them on because they're the hottest thing going this year (i dont even think that album was that dope). But big up Pusha still for hailing up P as one of the GOAT either way.

I think adding a Hav solo or a Santana fox track would have made the story of the album way more dope.

She was in the studio with Hav and Alc for large portions of this album being made, and she and Al were both posting pics of each other in the studio yesterday. Hav and Al said having her there to approve of the music was super important to them

They did the song with Clipse BEFORE Clipse even announced the album was coming out (according to Havoc) so it wasn’t something they did to capitalize off the Clipse brand resurgence. The only move I feel they made to piggyback off someone’s popularity is having H.E.R. On Down For You Part 2, which turned out to be unnecessary.

Hav solo I feel would’ve been unnecessary as well, its a Mobb Deep album, most likely the final one. It started with Hav and P together and now it ends with Hav and P together.

These two brothers… :wow:

Greatest group of all time? There are so many that I don’t think that will ever be a clear, unanimous, slam dunk argument.

But imo, there is no question that Hav and P are the most consistent group ever (honorable mention to De La, the real MVPs of the Native Tongues). I can call out the Tribe/OutKast/Wu/Clipse/Geto Boys albums where I go “ehhhh.” You have groups like NWA and PE that were super consistent and incredibly important, but over a smaller sample size. I STRUGGLE to think of another group that put out this much music and still sounds like THIS.

Shyt, look at their peers in the Legend Has It drops. Rae and Ghost both dropped solid projects. But you can hear their age: the wear and tear in their voices and flow (ghost especially), the production that doesn’t quite hit (Rae especially).

Meanwhile this shyt sound like it could’ve dropped in the early 2000’s.

Grateful I got to be here for the run these brothers put together… :wow:
