@@michalmazur997 Its the stories. They are incredible. You get sucked in to the stories they tell on there right. It is not a regular rap album. A little like listening to Kool G Rap Live and Let Die album. They take you on some tour and tell a story in a song about some hood shit which you feel def they experienced. That is a special skill I feel not all rappers have. People are always going on about Illmatic which is great but the Infamous album captivates you.
Trivia: Peer Pressure is the only Primo beat Hav has ever rapped on and Prodigy did one more than Havoc, which other song has Prodigy rapped on a Primo beat???
@@goldentrophy7858 Wrong. They both did Cop Hell with Premier which sadly is unreleased. Prodigy was also featured on Cormega's Dirty Game (Remix) along with Styles P.
This was Hav & P when they were young in the game. Talented as Hell, but hadn’t really fleshed out their identity yet. Sounded a lot like Da Youngstaz, just not as loud. Hav finding his own lane on Infamous and Hell On Earth (Hell On Earth is so criminally slept on) with the sound got P to go just as dark with the lyricism and the rest was history.
Their best album sonically really is Murda Muzik but obvs everyone’s favourites is Hell on Earth and Infamous. But their best work by far really is Infamous, talk about an album that describes an era of hip hop and city so well. They legit changed the sound of hip hop after that release. Hell on earth also was brilliant piece of work but it’s more of a darker and aggressive version of Infamous , Murda Muzik took a different approach as it was 1999, hip hop was quite commercial by then and then Infamy also was a completely different sound.
I love that Premo doesnt snitch on his samples or over analyse the production he just tells stories that put you in that moment and increase our knowledge of him and the featured artists...keep em coming!!!
The Mobb Produced their songs plus they linked up Alchemist which took their grimy sound to another level. Alchemist brought another dimension to their style and submitted their status as legendary groups. Mobb Deep fans love Alchemist and his beats. Checkout: The Realist Keeping Thoro And many songs
@@mohadmohamed6247 True, I don't know if it would've worked out right like it does with for example Alchemist. But, let's think about it like this: CNN also had that grimy street sound, they make one song with Preemo (Invincible) and it turns out to be a big classic. So pretty curious what could've been if it happened in the glory days right after The Infamous and/or Hell on Earth.
As rap/hip-hop head in the early to mid 90s, rappers at that time had us all the way together and damn near dropping classic bangers every month it seemed like. Wu, Snoop, Dre, Outkast, NWA, Gang Starr, Digital Underground, Breed, BIG, Da Brat, 2 Live Crew, Bone, The Roots, Souls of Mischief, Getto Boys, Roots, Digable, Nas, Mobb Deep, AZ, Heavy D, Crucial Conflict, West Side Connection, LL, DJ Quick, E-40, Lil Kim Foxy, Pac, 8 Ball & MJG, Black Moon, Cube, Yo-Yo, Rage, Scarface, Dogg Pound, Leaders of the New School, Brand Nubian, EPMD, Latifah, Redman, Keith Murray, Fat Joe, Naughty, De La, Kool G, Spice 1, Above The Law, Poison Clan and so many more. Then if we wanted to switch and still stay in the zone we had Jodeci, D'Angelo, Mary J, Groove Theory, Montel, Xscape, SWV, TLC, Silk, Boyz II Men, Troop, Brandy, Troop, H-Town, Zhané, Monica, Michel'le, Blackstreet....all kinda high quality options anywhere you looked or listened. And what's even scarier is that there are many more who I didn't name who were just as high quality.
DJ Premier also did an underground classic with Mobb Deep in 1991, the original year Juvenile Hell was suppose to be released. It's called Cop Hell, check it out youngins... RIP GURU & PRODIGY
It was 1992 (Havoc says the year in the song). The song was cut from Juvenile Hell because of the controversy around Ice-T/Body Count's Cop Killer in the same year.
I’m convinced that Preem gives us time before the video is out to listen to the song a couple times. So everyone who sees this comment before the video premieres, I urge you to listen to “peer pressure”
Another classic. Classic boombap sound a prelude to what the Mobb would become. I love the story Preemo has told before of how Mobb Deep and South Central Cartel confronting each other because they were also Havoc and Prodoje. Preem if you read these comments if you can I request Rugged Neva Smoove remix that’s one of the craziest beats I ever heard. Should be mentioned as one of the greatest beats ever.
I truly just want to say thank you Preem for everything you've done, and continue to do, for all us heads out here. Be we young or old, we're all apart of this thing of ours. And it's just a beautiful thing. That's all I got. Love you Premier.
I love Premier beats from this era. He would get the most unique samples that NOBODY used. And he used drum loops in a way that were uniquely Premier style.
Peer pressure was my intro to the mobb I knew they was different.. but once that infamous tape came out it was over had the cassette all that day one fan P forever!!!
"I've been following Mobb Deep since "Peer Pressure", Voždovac, Beograd, bmw, nike treša!" That is a part from song: Juice - DNA (feat Havoc of Mobb Deep) This song is from album "Hiphopium 4". Wish you love and peace, people! And listen a good music! ❤
Great episode! Now we need an episode for the unreleased "Cop Hell" joint, why it got shelved and the story behind the 2 LP Daily Operation Instrumental white label vinyl that also included Cop Hell, Cop Hell Instrumental, Cop Hell Bonus Beat and Marxman - Drifting Instrumental. And what happened when you and Mobb Deep got pulled over by the police.
I ordered the cassette from Upstairs Records and was surprised the track was different because I heard your version on the video Preem. I was even MORE surprised when they came back as "The Infamous" and shocked the world.
Keep these videos coming please. It's obvious that Premier loves talking about the history and stories behind his music and all of us love listening. This series is one of my favorite things to come out on TH-cam ever.
Premier makes the smoothest remixes man. They're cross between grimy and melodic. And sheesh Mobb Deep were old head while they were young lol. Didn't look 16 year olds at all
Premo..I desperately need to hear more MOBB stories, as my teenage years were soundtracked by the Infamous! And P with a Capitol P was my inner voice ya dig!
I never imaging that i'll ever see something like this, i was listen to this song from my 13. Peace to Premier & Large, my mentors. RIP Prodigy & universe bless Havoc for his ill beatz :D
Really cool to hear the og version of PP. You gave it that dark mobb vibe tho. So sick. People always talk about The Infamous being the quintessential album, and it is. But I discovered MD when they first came out with Juvenile Hell. And that album is one of my go 2s. Special place in my heart. Especially the first side of the tape. Such an overlooked masterpiece. Always amazing to have you and Large Professor on the same shit. Peace from Jersey 🙏
Great story and interesting how the original and remix got switched up. Preem is my favourite producer ever but I gotta be honest and say I always preferred the Large Professor version of this. I'm glad Mobb Deep went their own way with the production after this album - the Infamous is so iconic.
Preem was in his bag with the smoky upright bass jazzy baselines. Da King & I - “Flip Da Script” (rmx), “Peer Pressure”, “Jazz Thang”, and “Mostly The Voice” for example.
Legend speaking pay attention to a master to all of your wanna be rappers and wanna be dj. Take note that's why our Era will never be duplicate it. Dj premier guru will always be what Tru hip hop is all about. To all of you new generation you are listening to a God. If any one can tell me what guru stands for? I will give you crazy props. If not you are not worthy of listening to the genius. Peace premier you are a true inspiration may God bless you and rest is peace GURU..

I swear I will bump that Infamous album in my grave. It never gets old. A timeless classic. Mobb Deep is the truth.
Got the wax just a few days ago. I have Hell on Earth and Murda Muzik in my crates too. All dope joints, Hell on Earth has to be my favorite though.
Never skipped a track, 100% classic.

@@sgtcreasegrease Hell on Earth is murderous
@@richhonorable Hell On Earth is definitely miles better than Infamous. But Infamous is great.
R.I.P. to the infamous Prodigy.
This man's musical memory is pristine!
Where are y’all tuning in from???
Bay area, CA
Trivia: Peer Pressure is the only Primo beat Hav has ever rapped on and Prodigy did one more than Havoc, which other song has Prodigy rapped on a Primo beat???
New Iberia, Louisiana! 20 minutes southwest of Lafayette. 3 and a half hours from your hometown of Houston! Southside thang!
Germany. U the greatest Preemo! ;-)

Which one do you like more, The Infamous or Hell On Earth? The Infamous is a classic but I might have to go with Hell On Earth.
@@aharris82 what about their debut album Juvenile Hell

That jazz bass on this track was so smooth. You can't help but to hum it!
Too bad we never had another Mobb Deep song produced by you in the best days!
Yeah it would have been perfect if he did a song on Prodigy's solo album HNIC.
The Mobb Produced their songs plus they linked up Alchemist which took their grimy sound to another level.
Alchemist brought another dimension to their style and submitted their status as legendary groups.

Crazy! The transition from Juvenile Hell to THE INFAMOUS!!! SHEEEESH.....Forever Respect to the MOBB!!!
didn't know preemo produced this but we need that mathematics episode
Mos def mathematics?
Large did the remix i beleive that was a long time ago
@@HipHopAintDead718 yes of course
@@stephenheath8465 Did you even watch the episode? Premier did the remix.
@@qasimdin7438 didn’t know Preemo produced that, one of my favorite Mos records
The Infamous is an eternal album it will never date.
man I love these stories.
I'm sayin'
Large Pro one of the greatest and underrated producers of all time!
Mobb Deep always came with that energy, that raw realness.
"You can challenge me on that all Day, i know i'm right" Hell yeah you are
Another packed history lesson from the great Premier.

Yeah, he definitely needs to cover an MOP record soon. Either Rugged Neva Smooth Remix, New Jack City or Salute Pt. II.
I always wondered how 2 completely unrelated groups ended up with the same names like that. Gotta be 1 in a billion chance.
Where did Primo tell that story about them confronting the other group?
Poetical Prophets...UNSIGNED HYPE!!!
I truly just want to say thank you Preem for everything you've done, and continue to do, for all us heads out here. Be we young or old, we're all apart of this thing of ours. And it's just a beautiful thing. That's all I got. Love you Premier.
My favorite group…… still Rock their Shit daily……… RIP Prodigy
One of my favorite drum patterns ever..
Nothing wrong with saying alright, that's you. That's why we're here
MAN...Had so much fun back then...SMH Music was incredible in the early 90s. RIP Prodigy.
I love Premier beats from this era. He would get the most unique samples that NOBODY used. And he used drum loops in a way that were uniquely Premier style.
This makes my soul happy! I love love love ❤️ Mobb Deep! Greatest Hip-hop Duo of all time! The Infamous is one of the best Hip-hop albums of All-Time.
Preemo is like a gift that keeps on giving
Tuesdays are my favorite day of the week thanks to this series! Thanks Preemo!
I'm really enjoying this series. Thank you for breaking down the history. The infamous and The low end theory are pillars of hip hop.
This version was my intro to MOBB back then and still probably one of favorite songs from them.
Cool. That was the song that made me take notice of Mobb Deep before Infamous blew the doors off. Such a solid album from start to finish.
Rip to the man P. Mobb deep forever!
Yessss been waiting for this one
Peace to one of the greatest to ever do it!
Peer pressure was my intro to the mobb I knew they was different.. but once that infamous tape came out it was over had the cassette all that day one fan P forever!!!
You are so right about that Infamous album. MD will always be one of my all time favorite groups.
Glad to hear you produced one with the Infamous! Wish you did more, but it is what it is.
Infamous album never gets old top 3 hi hop albums my opinion.
finally cleared up what was the original and the remix, classic…salute!

I do remember when this joint came out! Favorite group since then!!!!!
Mobb Deep ran thru a few eras probably because of that confidence!
Preem absolutely decimated this track!! It's too perfect! I call Premier "The Standard" for Hiphop, Period...
Super humble..."....at that time..." You always had the buzz Preem...Print that.
The hip hop history in these videos is priceless. Thank you Premo.
Mobb Deep forever! Love the history lesson DJ Premier gives for each episode!
Great history lesson Preem! Mobb Deep is 1 of my top favorite groups! Havoc is one of the reasons why I started making beats!
Keep these videos coming please. It's obvious that Premier loves talking about the history and stories behind his music and all of us love listening. This series is one of my favorite things to come out on TH-cam ever.

A brilliant insight on these sick tunes.
