I have no idea why this album is so unpopular on this site. Sure it's not at all
Infamous
or Hell on Earth era Mobb, this isn't gritty East Coast shit, it's a total slick G-
Unit
album that came out right at the height of that group's fame, and it showed Mobb
Deep in a
more lightweight, freewheeling, party rap mood and that they could still hang with
the new
young cats coming up in the mainstream at that time. Havoc's production remains
rooted in
the East Coast tradition but it incorporates the swagger of the G-Unit sound of the
era
really well, and there's good stuff from The Alchemist and what I consider Mobb
Deep's best
track of the mid 2000s era, the Dr. Dre produced remix of "Outta Control" which is
has been
a summer time party anthem staple for many years now for me. "Pearly Gates" and
"Capital P,
CApital H" are standouts as well. Underrated.
