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

[CourtesyFlush]

Writin' in my nocturnal journal to a dark beat
On a cold dark night, I came up with these
Four hundred words that best describe me
And my lifestyle, I'm not like you, I'm unique
In the twilight, I shine bright and get my mind right
I was born under the full moon
And I'll die starin' up at the cosmos
Laid out 'til my heart come to a stop and then my eyes close
I lived a full life, don't cry for me
A real-life king of New York, the top of the heap
I did songs with Mary J. Blige, my nikka
Mariah Carey, Big Pun, and Nas, my nikka
I did tours with Biggie Smalls, my nikka
Eminem, 50 Cent, I did it all, my nikka
The shows, the hotels, and the afterparties
When that sun goes down, yeah, the moon shine for me

Verse gives me goosebumps

To be honest if we’re talking about artists bringing the “one producer” cohesive album thing “back” it was Common & Kanye with Be & Finding Forever. After those albums you had a spike of fans and internet forum heads calling for Kanye/Nas, Premo/Nas, Kanye/Jay, Just Blaze/Jay and so on and so forth. I remember Jermaine Dupri hopping online clamoring to produce all of Nas’s Untitled and showing off beats he was making to submit to Nas.

Finding Forever had like 5-6 beats on it not produced by Kanye, and Dilla had some beats on Be, but I get you. I still feel like those two albums were sort of perceived by everyone (including myself) as being just Common and Kanye, even though they weren't.

I'm really enjoying this

Of the 12 songs on Finding Forever, only three are NOT produced by Kanye West. We’re in a Mobb Deep thread praising Havoc’s vision and production guidance on this new album when of the 15 tracks, 4 are NOT produced by him. So what exactly are we talking about? We know the vision sonically for Finding Forever falls with Kanye just like the vision sonically for Infinite falls with Hav.

 

[InfamousThoro]

This album hits hard. Them Havoc beats

my favorites in no particular order

Easy bruh
Down for you (perfect use of the Platoon theme sample)
Pour the henny (that Prodigy verse is fire)

 

[InfamousThoro]

Only downside for me is Love The Way (Down For You PT2). Why did they re use Prodigy's verse from Co-Pilot (HNIC 3)?

 

[ShaDynasty]

What I'm amazed about more than it being a dope album is that Down For You is actually a fire mainstream single. Against The World was a great street single too. Mobb have actually always been great singles artists, but its kind of crazy that they could do it in 2025. I can see it getting on a lot of playlists and becoming one of their biggest songs for the streaming era.

I’m so confused. What ARE we talking about? What is going on here lol

I felt like I was just quoting you to agree with you about common albums and now I feel like you’re arguing with me about all this other stuff? You’re talking about Havoc’s vision and asking me all this stuff that I never disagreed with?

I’m confused bro. Like I literally just said that those 2 Common/Kanye albums felt like duo albums.

Btw my Finding Forever copy from Best Buy was 13 tracks and 5 aren’t produced by Kanye. But whatever. Doesn’t change how I feel.

It was NOT Future who made it a thing that's cap. nikkas was already heavy into it during that scene by the time Future was getting hot doing it and if u don't remember. ALOT of these cats came thru Spitta on his mixtapes from Wiz, to Gibbs, to Big Sean, to Nip etc etc. Spitta had famous industry rappers hopping on his shyt like Ross, Wale, French, 2Chainz etc etc. Him and Roc the most influential underground rappers of the 2010s generation bar none. Spitta had influence on cats like Playboi Carti n all that. Spitta was the one making certain producers either get hot or have a resurgence such as Alchemist, Ski Beatz and Cardo Got Wings. There was a whole movement behind Spitta so don't just act like he was just some nikka who did it first with no influence. He didn't do it first. But he DEF had the influence.

I generally agree but at the same time it's different eras. We can say Madlib and 9th got the ball rolling in 2004. We can say Spitta/Alc got it started for the blog era in 2011. I think Future's Monster/Beast Mode/56 Nights run is one of the most influential in modern rap, if not the most. But I wouldn't give him credit for the one producer thing since 2014 was still the blog era.

I mean they had 50 Cent and LL Cool J. That's pretty strong.

edit: a few quick googles looks like they probably do

 

[Playaz Eyez]

Album is really good. Sounds like Prodigy was right there in the studio
