if you know anything about hip-hop, you better know about Mobb Deep. alotta people are like "Ace, you're the only nigga i know that listens to Mobb Deep.." - thats because they were real.. notice i said "were" - i dunno what happened around 2001. smh.
in the 90's, Mobb Deep was all i was pumping forreal outta my CD player, along with Souls of Mischief, Tribe Called Quest, Timbaland & Pharcyde. Prodigy was waaayyyy more ill with his words than when he got older. it was prolly the cocaine he was addicted to at one point. smh. Havoc was & always will be the slacker but his production was always ill - thennnn they met Alchemist. classic. 
get some Mobb in ya life, especially the best album they ever had - "The Infamous (1995)".
