Editorial Review: Product Description: "The Infamous Archives" is a 30 track, double disc walk through the Mobb Deep vaults. With rare exception these cuts have not been heard by Mobb Deep fans. The cuts on "The Infamous Archives" go back to the group's mid to late 90s hardcore heyday. Start to finish this release is illustrative of Mobb Deep's dark, dynamic, grimy sound with haunting melodies courtesy of Havoc's production, that to many represented "street" in a way not done by anyone ever before. Additionally, Prodigy's penchant for starting off a verse with an attention grabbing line, writing raw rhymes based heavily on the Queensbridge slang they call the dunn language, and a distinct, hen-rock induced delivery appeals to the core fan's lyrical sensibilities. The double disc boasts collaborations with 50 Cent, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Cormega, Tragedy Khadafi, Onyx, Infamous Mobb, Big Noyd, Alchemist and More! Prodigy and Havoc, powered themselves to the top of the hardcore rap scene through their straightforward narration of street life portraying the struggles of living in New York City's Queensbridge housing projects. Almost immediately on release, "The Infamous" became one of the most influential Hip Hop albums of the East Coast hardcore rap genre. Their production also was noticed as the beats are often hard hitting and direct, a testament to Havoc, who produced the duo's tracks almost exclusively throughout their career. Furthermore, the smash hit single "Shook Ones Pt. II", received critical acclaim and was well-received within the Hip Hop community. Their third album, "Hell on Earth" was released in 1996, debuting at number six on the Billboard album chart. The album continued their portrayal of a harsh street life, while further pushing them to the forefront of the hardcore rap scene, along with contemporary East Coast rappers such as Notorious B.I.G., the Wu-Tang Clan collective, Jay-Z, and fellow Queensbridge associate, Nas. In 1999, the duo released the highly anticipated "Murda Muzi Customer Reviews
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Nice collection of some Rarer Mobb trax - 4.5 starsJ-Love comes to bring you 28 tracks of some of the MO double B's rarer tracks, on the first disc you have 14 songs that sound like they're mostly from the mid 90's, on disc 2 you get 14 songs that are more recent and recorded over the past 6 years or so. If you're a die hard Mobb fan you've undoubtedly have heard some of these before (I've heard about 8 or 9 of them), but it's still an album you have to get. Guests are on about 2/3 of the tracks. Production credits as well as the guests aren't given any credit as to who they are. Prodigy is on 25 of the 28 songs and Havoc is on 21 of the 28. It has 9 average songs and the other 19 are good or real good songs. A must have for true Mobb fans. DISC 1 #1 - 8.5 #2 - 8 ...

Read More: Rating:  - i found it excellentif you love the mobbs gritty sound and raw beats,then this is for you,both cds were a great addition to my collection.even as much as i like the whole g-unit crew,some from g-unit do appear on the cds,but its not overly done with just g-unit,the mobb was allowed to shine again,plus a huge line up of different rappers,makes for great varity throo the album.....well done mobb Rating: - Mobb Deep's unreleased gemsThis is a very good product. On the first CD there are some old unreleased joints, from the "Hell On Earth" period in the mid nineties. The beats are really grimey: the infamous touch is back. The best ones are "Everyday Gunplay", "Reach", "Perfect Plot", "Block life". On the CD 2 the songs are more recent. The beats look like those on "Amerika's Nightmare". This Cd is not good as the first, but there are 2 killer infamous tracks: "gangstas roll" and "My Priorities". To finish it's a good acquisition, and the quality of the sound is much better than in the "Mobb Misses" mixtapes. Rating: - add this to your Mobb collection this CD restores the classic image of the mobb, if you are a big fan, i highly recommend getting this two disc album because it has songs that sound like they should have been on their second CD "The Infamous" it has those good old horrific thug tails from P. and the H-A-V-O-C. |
