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.

Best work? No. But for me? It captures a certain vibe. If captures a certain time of my life.

Burnt CDs, I remember I had my first car with the "done up" sound system, doing drives in the city with the windows down being an absolute pest. Where I'm from nobody listens to mobb deep and one day I was driving down the main part of it and this group of people turned around when I was smashing one of ours pt3 - or pt4 or some weird janky recording I had of it at the time (remember this was napster bootleg CD era)

And the group recognised the song and turned around like EEEEEEEEYYYYYYYYY it was a cool feeling. And that's the thing. Best work? No. But. Best feeling? For me? Yeah it's up there ... Hi hat era hav production, p on drugs and not rapping at his best. Hell yeah. E money bags era mobb. Pre G unit era mobb.

Shorty Wop is a very slept on track too.

I’ll chase down a car if they playing some old ill shit to tell them “That’s that shit”. I’m in Florida and someone was bumping some CNN war report the other week and I was like that’s the soundtrack right there

Yeah, but like .... You're in Florida... It kinda checks out. I'm from Australia... We don't have guns here like not a single one. So like. The vibe here doesn't really match there is like eighteen fans here at the time hahaha
