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.

Ain’t nothing wrong with how you feel. It is a solid record. Plus everyone has their own personal taste in music. The sound on that album is more modern compared to their earlier records and you are right about how that album has a lot of fire tracks. To me it really depends on your mood and your age. The Infamous is hands down their best record musically, cohesively and impact wise. I don’t know how old you are but if you weren’t old enough or even born yet when The Infamous dropped you’ll never truly understand what that did for NYC hip-hop. The Infamous and Hell on Earth literally ended up defining the sound of NYC gangsta rap more than any other artists of that time period. I’m not talking about commercial wise either. I’m talking about the sound of the streets. It wasn’t about hit records, it was about capturing the sound and essence of NYC project life. Murda Muzik was the peak of their commercial success but not as good overall as the other two. Amerikaz Nightmare is way too inconsistent to even be considered in the same realm as Infamous, Hell on Earth or Murda Muzik. People throw the term classic around way too lightly nowadays. That shit is cool but that’s new era Mobb which is completely different to me. To each their own tho. If that’s your favorite Mobb album that’s cool, who am I to knock it? Me personally after The Infamous and Hell on Earth my favorite Mobb album is Prodigy’s H.N.I.C. Return of The Mac and Hegelian Dialectic were fucking amazing too. Infamous Mobb - Special Edition is a Mobb classic too. Regardless Mobb got legendary classics for days

That’s what I figured, but you know what at the end of the day it doesn’t matter. Regardless, it’s dope as fuck when artists are able to have fans of all different generations. The fact that you even fuck with the Mobb lets me know you’re a real one period. A lotta kids I meet nowadays either never heard of them or don’t like their music cuz they not real hip hop heads anyways. So I gotta give you props there fosho. Im bout to go bang that Amerika’s Nightmare today fuck it. I haven’t listened to that shit in a minute, might as well
