Hit: 3 Stars
Not sure what was going on with Mobb Deep at the time when this came out. Around this time this album came out, I was 16 and was basically loving everything that they were putting out, since I got into them with Prodigy's "H.N.I.C.". Especially with the whole ordeal with Jay-Z who took a few shots at them (i.e. "Takeover") I couldn't wait for them to respond.
Back when I was a teenager, I thought this was an excellent album, but when I listen to it today, I just see it as very good. If I recall correctly, the lead single was "Burn" featuring Big Noyd (BET might have played the video a total of two times), in which I thought the song was dope as hell. Their second single was more radio/pop friendly with "Hey Luv (Anything)" featuring 112 that was okay to be honest. Another great song was "Clap" where Havoc comes off stronger than ever. Infact he outshines Prodigy in a lot of the songs like on "My Gats Spitting" and "Get Away". Prodigy does come correct on some songs, but don't expect him to blow you out like he was on "The Infamous" or "Hell on Earth". He does drop a few dope verses, like on "Get At Me" and on "There I Go Again" as well as "I Won't Fall". But there were some that you expected more from him, like "Crawlin'" where he drops some weak lines dissing (if you want to call it that) Jay-Z.
Other inferior moments on this album include the song "Bounce" and "Live Foul" where both Havoc and Prodigy sound weak, making those songs skip material.
Overall, Havoc and Prodigy drop a very good LP back in late '01. It could have been better, but it's still good. You have some strong moments that outweigh the weak ones. If I were to review this 4 years ago, I would have given this a higher score. If you're a fan of Mobb Deep, this should be in your collection. Peace!
