This album is like a fucking documentary of Queens in the early 90s.
The tasteful jazz influence and great vocals thrown on making this album fucking impeccable.
Anyone else love the shit out of this album? It's the pinnacle hip-hop. Never gets old for me.

I mean sure Shook Ones pt. 2 is the most popular track, but there is a reason for that. It's iconic
Worst: Drink Away the Pain
That track should have never made it through.

I mean its off putting at first but the lyrics and metaphors are some of the best on the album,plus Tip makes a great feature.
>For every rhyme I write, its 25 to life
gives me goosebumps.
Anyone else think this album is a big grower? It's such a meticulous and fucking dense album you won't catch the best parts until a few listens.
The detail is just fucking insane, the production is on another level. Hard to believe it came out in 95.
>>63280886
The opening to Up North Trip is so fucking awesome.
>You fragile, it ain't hard to see.
>>63281264
True it gets me hyped as fuck,but my favorite part is Prodigy's second verse.
>Then I pause... and ask God why
>Did he put me on the serve, just so I could die
>I sit back and build on, all the things I did wrong
>Why I'm still breathin, and all my friends gone
Sucks that they censor the shit out of the album

Anyone else love all the preludes on this album?
This album is the best on adderall.

>implying I want to feel like a nig nog
>>63282597
I don't want to feel like a nig nog either but this album makes me feel powerful for some reason.
The Start of Your Ending is one of the best openers for any hip-hop album ever. Really brings you into the atmosphere that the album plays off of.
>>63280753
this is the correct list
>>63280558
thank god, teh WuTang made this shit irrelevant
>>63284029
>The Infamous
>irrelevant
>going to a club when they dropped shook ones pt. 2
There had to be a fight or shooting every time it played. This was the ghetto version of a mosh-pit.
it's great. but it ain't the pinnacle of hip-hop.

This. The jazz overlay on that track is so sick.
This album was just full of filler. Only good tracks were all of the preludes, Shook Ones Pt. 2, Survival of the Fittest, and Eye for an Eye. The beats on every other track was boring.

>Only good tracks were all of the preludes, Shook Ones Pt. 2, Survival of the Fittest, and Eye for an Eye
>Not Give Up The Goods, The Start of Your Ending, Up North Trip, Right Back At You
It's like you want to come off as a pleb and avoid the best tracks on the album.
>>63281423
Did you buy your copy at Walmart or something?
>>63285389
Am I the only one who thinks trife life is the best track?
>>63281149
no. I instantly fell in love with it
>>63286228
Trife Life has one of the best interludes ever imo
How did mobb deep get so fucking bad?
Rappers should have some self respect and not release garbage albums after COMPLETE BANGERS. Fucking money grubbing retards.

>people still listen to radio
>>63288261
Prodigy still drops good stuff from time to time, Havoc seems like drugs got to him at some point, he sounds much sloppier than he used to be
>>63288261
Prodigy helped produced Real Friends for Kanye
>>63291217
That was Havoc
