- From the 1997 Soundtrack to the movie "Hoodlum"
Mobb Deep was an American hip hop duo from the Queensbridge Houses in New York City. The group consisted of Havoc and Prodigy and was "one of the most critically acclaimed hardcore East Coast Hip-Hop groups." They were known for their dark, hardcore delivery as exemplified in "Shook Ones (Part II)." Mobb Deep became one of the most successful rap duos in hip hop, having sold over three million records. Mobb Deep's net worth was estimated at $10 million USD. Prodigy passed away in Las Vegas, Nevada. He sucummbed to his long battle with sickle cell anemia.
Two of their albums have been critical successes; The Infamous (1995) and Hell on Earth (1996). The group briefly disbanded in 2012 but later reunited.
In 1992, before Mobb Deep was officially established, Havoc and Prodigy originally went by Poetical Prophets and released their first demo titled Flavor for the Nonbelievers which was promoted through the Unsigned Hype column of The Source magazine. In 1993, Havoc and Prodigy, released their debut album, Juvenile Hell, which was promoted by the single "Peer Pressure." Also that year, Havoc made a guest appearance on the Black Moon album Enta Da Stage on a song titled "U Da Man." In 1994 the duo released a single titled "Shook Ones Part 1".
The group saw its first major success with their second album, The Infamous, released in 1995. Mobb Deep catapulted to the top of the hardcore hip-hop scene through Havoc and Prodigy's straightforward narration of street life. In this album, Mobb Deep portrayed the struggles of living in New York City's Queensbridge Houses where Havoc grew up. Following the release of The Infamous, Mobb Deep became some of the most prolific artists of the East Coast. The production of this album was very dark and sample-based thanks to Havoc, who produced the beats from this point forward.[9] Furthermore, the hit single "Shook Ones Pt. II", a remix to the hit Shook Ones, received critical acclaim.
Mobb Deep's third album, Hell on Earth was released in 1996 debuting at number six on the Billboard Album Chart; the album continued the duo's portrayal of harsh street life while further pushing them to the forefront of Hip Hop scene along with contemporary East Coast Rappers like The Notorious B.I.G., Jay-Z, Wu-Tang Clan, Big L and fellow Queensbridge rapper Nas. Nas as well as Method Man and Raekwon of the Wu Tang Clan appear on 'Hell on Earth'.
In 1996, they appeared on the Red Hot Organization's compilation CD, America is Dying Slowly alongside Biz Markie, Wu-Tang Clan and Fat Joe among many other prominent Hip Hop artists. This compilation was solely meant to raise awareness of the AIDS epidemic among African American men and this compilation was heralded as "a masterpiece" by The Source Magazine, a Hip Hop publication. 1997 Mobb Deep was featured on Frankie Cutlass "Politics & Bullsh*t" album track title "Know Da Game" which also features Kool G Rap. In 1998, the duo collaborated with reggae dancehall artist Bounty Killer on the track "Deadly Zone" for the soundtrack to Blade. In 1999, they released the highly anticipated Murda Muzik album which, despite extensive bootlegging, had the majority of its songs unintentionally leaked. This resulted in delays in the official album release. When the album was officially released, it eventually debuted at number three on the Billboard 200 and quickly received Platinum Certification and was further promoted by the popular single "Quiet Storm." Shortly afterward, Prodigy released his long-awaited solo album H.N.I.C in which he collaborated with fellow artists like (B.G., N.O.R.E.) and producers (including The Alchemist, Rockwilder and Just Blaze).
Mobb Deep released Infamy while in 2001 the song "Burn" (featuring Vita) was perceived as a response to Jay-Z's diss song "Takeover" on The Blueprint, as was "Crawlin'," in which Prodigy's two verses both mention Jay-Z. The album marked a major stylistic change in which the duo moved away from a raw, minimalist, stripped-down beat toward a commercial friendly in terms with such songs as "Hey Luv (Anything)." This transition fostered accusations of "selling out." In 2003, the group split with Loud Records and released Free Agents: The Murda Mix Tape, in which Havoc and Prodigy proclaimed themselves "free agents" and addressed the group's split with its old label and its search for a new label. Jive Records signed the duo later in the year through a deal with the group’s own imprint. Mobb Deep then released Amerikaz Nightmare in 2004. The record sold poorly and lead to the group’s departure from the label. Today, as a result of various mergers, all of Mobb Deep's studio albums from 1995 to 2004 are owned by Sony Music Entertainment. - เพลง

Respeto desde Chile!! Rip Prodigy.
VintageHipHopSeattle Which album is this from?
May I ask how he died?
Rakim flow is like a smooth sip of hard liquor.
This is the perfect metaphor
You damn right 👌
Well said 👌
Unless its Proper Twelve

Rakim made this look like it was practice
The God MC
Rakim> Nas > J Cole
Who’s taking the torch now?
@@dadome92619th comment, 19 iykyk.
Big Noyd’s opening bars and overall energy was insane, Rakim is just literally too good he laced this beat Havoc made a real gem.
Nysheim Myrick from Bad Boy’s Hitmen production crew made this beat not Havoc.
@@ocrbeats doesn't even sound like a Havok beat
@@ocrbeats you're crazy, you're talking about Deadly Zone
Havoc is one of illest producers ever. The way he use samples is unique.
He plays alot od his shit out actually
No doubt...
Amazing!
@@meyou5789 what?
I agree, this was a dope beat.
The illest
That beat is so serious
FIRE
Their beats are crazy.
HipHop will never be the same

Sad man
Prodigy's last album was on an ultra spiritual tip. He was about to hit a level unknown but died at his peak, believe it or not. R.I.P. Prodigy. Peace.
Jay Cas One Love Man 🙏
Agreed. Is really stepping up his lyric game. I believe when he went to prison that really through his writing skills back and it took him a while to get back into form and he was really hitting that the year he died. Such a shame
The Hegelian Dialectic🔥🔥🔥
What is his last album?
I believe he was murdered by industry vampires
the energy Noyd packs when he starts kicking his verse is unparalleled
True 🔥💯💥

You only get 1 shot to spit with Rakim... What would you do! 😎

Damn I never knew Rakim did a collab with Mobb. Dope!
What are you like, 30? 👀
I gotta say it’s never too late
@@efdrayton8207 I'm 43 and I never knew he did a song with them.
@@erichawkins7305. You were probably not allowed to listen to rap or something then. That was the soundtrack jawn for the movie. And I'm almost 46 been listening to hip-hop since my uncles and aunts were hyped at the rise of it when Sugar and Kurtis Blow broke the door down for hip-hop to enter!!
@@efdrayton8207 I grew up on too short nwa so me hearing rap isn't the case. I just didn't hear this one.
The goat Rakim owned this
Damn Rakim killed this
Btw this isn’t talked about enough, 90s black movies OST compilations were fire. Soul in the hole, Hoodlum, MIB, He got game, Belly etc. too many to name!
Rakim murdered this! Straight fire from all the Emcs on this track!
Yes Rakim the God mc
As usual.
Prodigy and noyd killed this track

Rakim is just to dope....RIP Prodigy..
Greatest hip hop group of all time. Infamous and Hell On Earth album are both Super Classics.
Noyd, killed it.. damn I wish Noyd and P would have done an album together
They got maaad songs together. Noyd’s first album ”episodes of a hustla” is basically a prodigy noyd joint album with havoc producing 90% of it
Rakim killed this song
To have Rakim on your beat and rap on it OMG This is Dream
I love how they gave Rakim props in this video. Mad respect to mobb deep, big noyd, and tha god Rakim. I love Rakim he is the best rapper on earth. Pls release an album produced by pete rock, DJ premier, large professor, Q Tip and havoc. Take it back new york boom bap with heavier kicks, snares and wicked newyork turnel sound. Pls Rakim just one more. #Rakim must read this.
I second that
I third that
I 4th that. One last time for the love of hip hop
Rakim tore this down
Prodigy was always official with his bars. One of the best ever. Peace from East NY Brooklyn.
big noyd is mad underrated
Prodigy spoke about some real issues about the industry, secret societies and all that
I suspect him speaking the way he did is why he's dead. My favorite group of all time
If there was secret societies you wouldn’t know about em
Prodigy took shots at them on LL's "I shot ya" (remix). Telling what they doing to him.
@@joahansolis6183 thats right the maffia doesnt exist right
@@TheBlackghost989 Same
One of the best Havoc beats I ever heard. Takes me back to my teen years in the 90s
AIN'T NOBODY STOPPING THIS, RAKIM AND INFAMOUS !!!
For real son back in the days when music was real, that beat is in another level
RAKIM and MOBB that's what we call LYRICAL GOD LEVEL
RIP to the H.N.I.C! Gangsters don’t die we just turn to legends. 👑 ❤️
Rakim undoubtedly has the illest flow ever.. God MC 💯🫡
DJ Clue: "New Mobb Deep!" 👍👍👍👍👍
Classic Track. Never gets old.
Rest in Hip Hop Prodigy
Rakim slaughtered this beat damn...
[Verse 1: Havoc]
Sometimes it feels like the whole world's against me
But is it the Henny that bent me? I be in the zone
Gazin' at the walls, depressed, iggin' the phone
They take it personal
But only a minor few can understand what this nigga feelin'
41st 'til I die, motherfucka (No doubt) I'm still breathin'
You a mutt, son, we full bred, you ain't my dog
Tryin' to infiltrate my clique, is you? I get wit' you
Handle that on a later note
We o'er-dose, every day the death is so close
I'm tryin' to tell these cats, but I let 'em do they thing
Ready for the bad news 'til the phone ring
Son is dead, now I'm in way over my head, seekin' revenge, son
Bent, son, on your behalf tryin' to laugh
[Verse 2: Prodigy]
Check out the drill, dunn, conceal guns, play the hum
For real, son's leanin' back, checkin' out the action
On the benches, we drinkin' Xs
Yo, twirl dat shit, while I spark this chocolate
Burn it down like an arsonist
Pull out the miz 'cause its time to bring the biz to kids
And blow all hell fire out ya empire
Your livest wire couldn't make my Mobb expire or retire
I'm lettin' off 'til my arms tire
I sit quiet wit' my head full of riot
Our buyers, it's clear for your ear to hear
I declared only live niggas rap this year
'96 - I lost my dun, '97 - It got worse
Fuck it, somebody out the team gotta get murked
And sat down, you play the background when shots sound off
Flashin' back on how my mans is gone
K.B. forever in my memory
I spill some Henny then I keep it movin'
[Chorus: Havoc]
Yo, do our thing, hold it down, we got this, lockin' this
Ain't nobody stoppin' this, Rakim and Infamous
Rep the hood for you and yours, no doubt, crash the boards
And you don't really wanna go against the source
[Verse 3: Big Noyd]
Surprise, open your eyes, peep the foulness, the wildness
It's bugged, niggas thugs in the projects, you holiday thugs
Ease up, all that illin' and grillin', get ya melon lit up
Y'all niggas is butt, you want me? I'm right in QB, what?
Where you find me at, sippin' Cognac from a cup
With my heat next to my nuts
Never afraid to pull it and bust
Slug rushes to your head like dust, but that wasn't enough
This one was kind of tough, he squeezed back
Better believe he no longer breathe, black
Fuckin' with these Queens cats
I got dreams raisin' my little queen
And nobody gonna stop that
In fact, black, if you come at me, don't come sloppy
All my baby girl got is a papi
To guide her through this world of hatred
And I'd die to see that she make it
And die to let the next man take it? Is you stupid?
Verse 4: Rakim
Yo, you wanna come test? Son, it's massive stress
Penalties of death, pay your last respects
We harass your rep if you slept or half-step
We adapt to see what we can master next
After sex, pass the bless for after effects
Relax the stress, do math and set mad connects
Cash the check, to get assets we blast TECs
Dealin' with the mental aspects of chess
So retreat your troops, if you dunns come to shoot
Get greeted by a twenty-one gun salute
I keep 'em leery of the deadly '7 MC' theory
Soon as they hear me, I release "Lyrics of Fury"
And quick to say a poem that ricochet in your dome
My clique made me leave the nickel-plated at home
So I can get the cheddar and be the better trendsetter
The 18th Letter forever, what!
[Chorus x2: Havoc]
Do our thing, hold it down, we got this, lockin' this
Ain't nobody stoppin' this, Rakim and Infamous
Rep the hood for you and yours, no doubt, crash the boards
And you don't really wanna go against the source
Mobb Deep really the greatest Duo man.
How is it that I missed this the first time around??? Respect to the God MC! The G.O.A.T.
Back then when hip hops was REAL hip hop, and New York ...was REAL New York.
Havoc's beats always sounds organic. Can't explain it but all I know is it's hard af to do
A pure hip hop classic.
This to me is the pure essence of hip hop. Checked off all boxes. Legendary shit 🙌
Prodigy flows like water
RIP Prodigy
Noyd killed it
Mobb Deep Forever
2019
Songs like this are the reason why I love hip hop THIS IS REAL RAP everyone delivered and the production is amazing too💯💯💯
R.I.P Prodigy
By the way, RIP Prodigy. Legends will never die. As Always, like I said I always like the song.
Sick beat by HAVOC 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Noyd’s best verse of all time
Rakim is beast love ya all. ❤️ Old is gold.
"I got dreams.... raising my little queen.
And Nobodys going to stop that,
in fact black,
if you come at me, dont come sloppy.
All my baby girl got is her poppy.
To guide her through this world of hatred,
And I'd die to see that she make it.
And I'd die than to see the next man take it.
Is you stupid?"
🔥🔥🔥🔥
Real men do real things. #DangerZone
Noyd Nice
RIP P! also Hav looking like Mayweather Jr. here lol
Facts, I've been saying that for yrs.
More like tim bradley but ok!
One year ago already.. RIP P!
It was supposed to be all fun, but Rakim must ain’t get the memo. Lol
Rest in peace Prodigy & Keith flint (prodigy)
Really glad I found this so early and really glad to see old school Hiphop fans from around the world. Everyone I know in real life, me is only one who’s still listening to old school. I know, nobody around me feeling this, but that’s fine, I’ll just bumping this alone. At least I know there are people out there still listen to this. (I’m 20)
RIP Prodigy.
Chill P I still listen to old school hip hop, I love it so much more than this new music that’s out now. This is one of my favorite tracks.
Nobody's stopping this, Rakim & Infamous. R.I.P Prodigy. Mad respect for Mobb Deep QBC's finest. 💯 2024
I love that 90s feeling from rap nody
its so crazy how havoc produced this crazy ass beat and you have 4 legends on the SAME TRACK. Bless up P!!!! That intro where havoc come in sooooooo fire
My childhood hit
Havoc is a top 5 producer of alll-time
Какой же отличный рэп!! Эти треки мою душу с девяностых достают💪😎
It's crazy how 23 years went by so fast. I remember this kind of hip hop music back in the day.
Prodigy is in my Top 5 D.O.A.
R.I.P. Prodigy
Agreed!
The 18th letter...forever 😌
God bless P but lets be real, rakim & noyd came with it on this.
The God MC over a vintage Havoc beat is just too ill. This was that Hell On Earth vibe... just look at the blood red shirt Havoc was rockin' as usual around this era
I can only imagine someone like Big Noyd who was not popular, but a street dude from Queensbridge to have Rakim on the same track as him, back in the 90s mind you.
Shit must have been REAL SPECIAL for him, I can only imagine.
I would have been ecstatic to know I am featured with Rakim on same track and video.
HAVOC IN MY TOP 5 PRODUCER!
Ra the GOAT for sure.
UNDERRATED CLASSIC! REST IN PARADISE PRODIGY! RAKIM THE 🐐! THEY ALL KILLED IT!
💎 A rare gem of a collaboration between *God's & Titans.* ★★★★★ • Such a slept on track.
RIP prodigy one of the hardest East coast rapper 🕊️
The God RAKIM!! My favorite of all time!
Rip bandana P... 3 years ago today he passed on...Miss that feeling he gave you when he rapped
if you still bumping this, then mad respect. absolute tune 🔥
When it comes to dark, heavy violence everything about the hood, the hustle, the fight, the guns.. Mobb deep is absolutely unbeatable... It's like when the hood speaks for itself.. Dare or die..
Damn 1 year anniversary of the great mic P passed away but his music still lives on my brother
RIP Prodigy..Taken away from us FAR too soon. Painfully abrupt like tearing off a bandage that also happens to be the only thing holding in a vital organ. Hip-Hop will never function the same nor will it ever fully recover 🙏✊️✌️
Joint is still mad fyre 20 plus years later.....
The god ra killed it with a laid back flow!
This was the best on the hoodlum soundtrack other then wow time flys over 20 years R.I.P. Pee HNIC
