Mobb Deep – The Infamous Mobb Deep 2LP
NEW. SEALED.
Reissue.
Second studio album from the hip hop duo. The album features guest appearances from Nas, Wu-Tang Clan-members Raekwon and Ghostface Killah, A Tribe Called Quest member Q-Tip, and Mobb Deep-affiliate Big Noyd. Embedded with hyper-visual lyricism, dark soundscapes, gritty narratives, and hard beats, it marked Mobb Deep’s transition from a relatively unknown rap duo to an influential and commercially successful one. The album’s haunting style, defined by it’s evocative melodies, rugged beats, and lyrics dealing with crime and poverty in inner city neighborhoods reflected the dark side of New York’s urban landscape in a manner that received special recognition and critical praise. Along with albums such as Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers), Illmatic and Ready to Die, The Infamous… is widely credited as a major contributor to the East Coast Renaissance. Furthermore, the album is credited with helping to redefine the sound of hardcore hip-hop, using it’s production style, which incorporated eerie piano loops, distorted synthesizers, eighth-note hi-hats, and sparse bass lines.
