[@austinmorgan2659]

+Konphetty yeah it was definitely 05 lol

[@magnificentaura]

wow lol

[@titwio1]

Mobb Deep, Black Moon, Wu, Nas, AZ, etc. That blunted style of New York rap era will never die. Shit just isn't the same anymore.

[@N1GHTWOLF1]

Don't look at it with that pessimistic viewpoint man. Just try and see the adaptation of hip hop throughout the ages. Before in NY, we had Nas, Wu Tang, BIG, Mobb Deep, etc. and now we have The Underachievers, Flatbush Zombies, Joey Bada$$ and Pro Era, and ASAP Mob.

[@DanielCastillo-ch6xx]

+fromdachicomedy junior gangsta rap is for pussys

[@soramirez5473]

I like Flatbush zombies a lot.. just not as much as early 90s rap

[@pintopointer]

​It's not just music but our childhood and teenage years are gone just like this NY QUEENS SOUND ERA. SOME OF US ARE IN THE 40S, AND 50s AND GETTING OLDER. ​@@N1GHTWOLF1

[@1q3er5]

Owned you mean the golden era... Thats what the 90s hiphop scene was called back then lol

[@theenigma1679]

This song got me through high school whenever I felt down and weak I listened to this and it would help me overcome fears and deal with those who tried to bully me.

Gonna miss you Prod...Mobb Deep helped bring New York back. 94'-95' was great! Respect from Dallas

[@flyuser1873]

This was back in '95 i wasn't born but i know what real hip hop is Mobb Deep was vicious.

[@Genocyde666]

+Jay Townsend okay

[@chrisrasta9055]

+Dequante Thomas ✌💯

[@AndrewJones-io1xi]

Mobb so easily paints that dark early 90's NY scene so vivid, It's no wonder artists today cant compare. Prodigy's lyrics and Havoc's production (primarily on this album) make them one of the best rap duo's of all time.

[@acersin2]

Still one of the hardest songs

That Hug Havoc Gave Prodigy In The Beginning Of The Video Was Brotherly Love 💙

[@badge1876]

Mobb Deep has made a huge come back on college radio in recent years. Classic NYC hip-hop. Good stuff!!!!

[@Bigrog1988]

Such a filthy song and beat. Classic Mobb was outrageous. Havoc is an insane producer.

[@jessecontreras8034]

[@mcgyverb1664]

+Paul Pitter word up yo they should've never let the south into hip hop, when New York and the west side had it pure gangster shit, now young thug on a album wearing a dress, how the fuck did we get to this.

[@kingcharleton5972]

who's they?

[@loyaltyy8410]

AYEEEEE man thats whatsup 4th everyone that agrees that these mfrs now are fucking hip hop up and stay with the older shit are people i could have a convo about hip hop with these dudes now are rappers.... and these mfrs now either are sayin and doing the shit cuz they want to or they are getting paid for it by illuminati

[@grahamster8]

In my opinion they are the best rap duo out of the 90s, I also think their album The Infamous was the best rap album out of the 90s. I know not everyone thinks, this but being from New York I just think they stay true to NYC. Every track on "The Infamous" is a rap symphony something that the rappers of today can never recreate.

[@nabilster]

Another dope rap duo : Capone-N-Noreaga. But I also put Mobb Deep first...

[@angelocarson1882]

nabilster bone thugs n harmony will always be the best rap group ever. Second best run dmc

[@214ballking]

Angelo Carson Wu tang is the best group lyrically but i like bone thugz personally.. best duos mobb deep ugk and outkasy

[@ezekwu]

I agree with you man..

[@PulseWithLife]

I love this joint. Wonder why these 90s rappers try to stay relevant. It is possible to earn a living off making boom bap Hip Hop exactly like it was back in the day. Stay true to the art form. Da Shogunz prove that. Any one who hasn't checked them out I highly recommend them. They make Hip Hop exactly like it was back in the golden era.

[@iExTiiNcT]

Golden Era was late 80s.

[@iExTiiNcT]

Well I'm that Paid in Full is considered one of the best albums in that era so I'd say it was mainly late 80's. I still love The Infamous and Illmatic so I'm not disagreeing with you.

[@davewave4526]

YEAH 1980 illmatic best hip hop 1992 1999 ...12 -19 years boyz n d hood

[@roberttaylor9269]

+Mitko SpongebobXD those people are not your friends

[@BIGthingsSON]

+Mitko SpongebobXD People can criticize the content of this song all they want, but you have to admit this shit captured a certain culture that most people don't get to see. The straight up nyc grittiness was portrayed to the fullest here. Now-a-days ,hip hop has lost a lot of it's culture because money has flooded the market. It's pop now plain and simple.It used to be rappers would work on their craft and carry hip hop on their back. Rappers are now manufactured , image has become more important than skill . So fck ur friends, let em know that this shit here is culture baby. The reason it doesn't resonate with them is because there minds are closed off.

[@user-cd8te8rf8q]

[@only1drewskiii]

This the song that pac got butthurt over?? Lol

[@Jaghill]

No it was "LA LA"

[@only1drewskiii]

nahh this song is what started the beef...prodigy's man just came home from jail when this was released he claims the man was saying ''thug life we still livin it tho'' pac seen that and that is when the beef evolved. because he doesnt like nobody saying thug life except him or his outlaw members...

[@only1drewskiii]

it's not possibly nothing bro pac was strictly about respect his gangsta and he meant every word... this song is part of the beef. prodigy explains it if you look it up

[@only1drewskiii]

This beef started when Tha Dogg Pound released New York, New York. Mobb Deep took offense to that and with Tragedy and Capone N Noreaga (two other NYC artists) they released LA, LA. There were 2 versions and one version used that same beat and in both versions the chorus was the same as from NY, NY except for a little change at the end. Now Tupac took offense to that and that's why he dissed Mobb Deep. The only thing I know Mobb Deep to have said before Tupac released Hit 'Em Up was in an article from RapSheet when they were discussing the East/West Coast beef with artists from both sides Mobb Deep said the way Tupac turned on NY was wrong and said they would buy a Snoop album but they would never buy another Tupac album. I think Havoc might have said this. Also, in the "Thug Immortal" interview, Tupac described why he didn't like Mobb Deep. He said that before he went to prison, he was cool with them. Then when his West Coast crew came to NY to Mobb Deep's concert, Mobb Deep ignored them. He said his crew tried to meet up with them after the show yelling "Thug Life", but they dissed them. What made Tupac even madder was that one of the guards he knew in prison also knew Mobb Deep, so after Tupac told the guy to tell Mobb Deep that his boys were coming, he took it as an insult when they dissed them. Then Tupac came out with Hit 'Em Up...called Prodigy out about his sickle cell anemia and that's when Mobb Deep responded with Drop A Gem On 'Em which appeared on their new album. Since Tupac's death, Mobb Deep has shown a lot of respect for him though.
