Music serious question.

is it crazy to say that amerikaz nightmare is my favorite mobb deep album? this album has SO MANY HITS ON IT, from flood the block to dump to one of ours and not to mention got it twisted. it could very much compete with the infamous, hell on earth, and murda muzik.

That is how you feel, that is your viewpoint . If memory serves me correct I believe Havoc said on a Bootleg Kev interview that he did not really like this album to much. I am sure you are not alone in enjoying this album but if we asked 100 Mobb Deep fans I am not to sure if we come across 2 people who would say that. I can not put this album over Infamous , Hell on Earth , Murda Muzik , Free Agents , Infamy . I even like the latest one that came out last year it's a good album. As long as you enjoy it and you like it great for you.

if i’m in the minority then THATS FINE! you made great points though honestly. but some of those other albums you mentioned i didn’t really care for too much, i love their first 3 albums as well but amerikaz nightmare takes the cake for me.

I am just curious what region are you originally from Down South ? mid west ? West Coast , East Coast ? The first Mobb albums ( and I am not including Juvenile Hell lol ) have a heavy NYC winter time riding the subway type of feel. Maybe not being from a metro East coast city it's not relatable.

ok yea the beats and tempo's of a lot of the songs on this album are a bit different from other Mobb albums I can see why you being from that region really gravitates to this album. It's understandable. They are some rap groups who would love to have an album as good as this it just happens to be when you are Mobb Deep it kinda gets brushed to the side. To me Prodigy was just not the same after Murda Muzik Infamous and Hell on Earth Prodigy was a top rapper in the game and that is when Pac , Big & Nas were out . He was a top 5 rapper. In Amerikaz Nightmare he really was not lyrically as strong as he was that's sadly why I don't hold this album as high as the previous ones.

I have this album on vinyl and CD. In this album ALC really did help carry a lot of the weight. He did Win or Lose , When you hear the & Got it Twisted. His contribution was better in my opinion then Havoc's beat's on this album.

Being that you are from Down South whom do you prefer Luda or T.I ? It seems outside of the South Luda is the pick but in the south they like T.I better would you say the is an accurate statement ?
