Phonte on Mobb Deep's "Blood Money" Album

i heard the album and i think naysayers are off base. the lyrics are raw as always. the beats are more poppy, but there's 4 or 5 hard joints on there.

p's verse on pearly gates is crazy.

true, this album is being pushed as a club album, which is kind of confused in my opinion, since mobb is not expected to be that. but it's definitely not wak. they're just trying to reach a large base of people to cake off. if anyone deserves to get rich off of queens fame, it's m-o-b-b

I agree with the consensus. After hearing it on AOL Music, I am convinced that Blood Money is the worst rap album of the year, hands down. The album is made of plodding beats and forgettable songs and rhymes. If "Put 'Em In Their Place" wasn't announced as a single, I think I would have never remembered that song at all.

WHAT THE FUK IS YOU TALKIN BOUT- DUKE.THAT MOBB DEEP ALBUM IS CRAZY WACK,AND I'M A MOBB FAN.LET ME TELL YALL FOR REAL.IT AINT WORTH 15.00 ITS BETTER TO GO TO KAZAA AND GET THAT SHIT MAN.HALF OF THE SONGS GOT 50 ON IT.(I THOUGHT IT WAS MOBB DEEPS ALBUM FOR GOD SAKE)ANYWAY MOST OF THE BEATS IS WACK.ITS ONLY LIKE 3 SINGS THAT MOST PEOPLE WILL LIKE ON THE ALBUM AND IF ITS LIKE THAT,I'LL JUST CHILL WITHOUT IT.I AM VERY DISSAPOINTED IN MOBB DEEP.AND I DONT THINK I'LL EVER LISTEN TO EM AGAIN.I HAD THE STRANGEST FEELING THAT IT WAS GONNA BE WACK.I JUST HAD THAT FEELING.
RIP MOBB DEEP - IT WAS A GOOD RUN BROTHERS,BUT TIMES UP GUYS.SEE YOU AT THE PEARLY GATES.

Who are you people who have never heard Mobb Deep until now? Are you guys like 15 or something?

First of all, I don't know how people on here sayin' they're hip hop fans and never heard of Mobb Deep. Mobb Deep's one of the greatest rap groups of all time. Respect that! People's way too hard on the Mobb. Any ya'll remember "Infamy"? Or "Murda Muzik"? WACK! This is the best album P. and Hav put out in a minute! People just hatin' cause that G-Unit logo attatched! The only commercial-ass song on the disc is that bullshit with Young Buck. I got much love for the Mobb. Helpin' put NYC back on the map! That REAL hip hop! M.O.P. got next! The World Famous...Firin' Squad!!!

I love Mobb Deep... but fuck Club Mobb!
Messin' with G-Unit...

KNOW THE ROOTS. mobb deep got enuff street credit to be f***ing with anything. now its time to get theirs. of course messing with G-unit is as commercial as it gets. but the day dreaming days is done. album dropped got a couple on their that aint so hott. but f*** it. EM OH BE BE cant be touched

Why the fuck is there a FREEMASON sign on your bloody albulm?
You fuckin SAYTANS!!!!!!!!!!
Do you even bloody know what that means??
You will burn in hellfire!!!

YEAH DAVE MATTHEWS IS RIGHT THATS SOME FREEMASON ART WORK N.W.O

Since we are talkin about real hip hop fans, then everyone should know them cats when they were dissed in the beginning by Pac, when they were the realest. Mobb has dropped some serious joints, but, lets be real, one the greatest?? nah..definitely rememberable..but their lack of versitality still has them climbing that ladder to greatness. Q: If they were that great, why are they tryin to ride the back of 50? they do it for they money and fame, i am not hatin, game just recognize game.

They became wack over the years... this is just the confirmation...

MOBB DEEP WILL NEVER BE WACK THEY DA REAL GANGSTAS DIFFRENCE BETWEEN LISTING TO RAP N LIVIN RAP I LIVE THAT LIFE I FEEL THA MUSIC YALL JUST LISTEN TA THA BEATS I DONT GIVE A FUCK WUT U SAYIN BOUT THIS ABLUM DIS SHIT IS HOTT

most of you posting saying this album is hot probably and some mentioned even, not even knowing who mobb deep was until this album..OBVIOUSLY, you will like it for the simple fact that hav and prod are way iller then 50 ever dreamed, with rhymes AND beats..they need to start keeping it real and leave them clowns..

FUCK EVERY BOBY MOBB IS THE BEST DUO EVER OLD SCHOOL NEW SCHOOL THEY CAN HANG IT UP IF THEY WANT THE STREETS LOVE THEM THE HOODS LOVE THEM TOO THEY TRADEMARK LED ALONG WAY FOR RAPPERS THEY BEEN THE KINGS OF NEW YORK

this is album is poor at best i was expecting more from the mobb. but lets be real..one of the greatest? na, the infamous and hell on earth were top quality street albums but infamy and amerikaz nightmare were wack to fuck this album just shows the mobb cant mix with the big boys cos they cant make paper. and prodigy's a ballerina so fuck him!

brilliant album wit memorable songs like stole something ft. lloyd banks, speaking so freely, an underrated track, give it to me ft. young buck, click click ft. tony yayo, and the brilliant capital P Capital H A brilliant album. Could do wit less 50 cent in it though. Have a party is overrated

dont diss g unit 50 can be wack but the rest are solid. fuck the gayme

Um, gotta chime in on this one...
No, this album is not "The Infamous", but
imo, ANYTHING is better than the last one they dropped. And good for them mang. Seriously, you can't expect them not to do some more club joints. THey had a platnum banger with quiet storm and then nothing after that. And this whole thing about it not being the right thing to go with G-Unit? C'mon, 50 from Queens, he probably a huge fan of Mobb from when he was a kid. Your taste about G-Unit music is your own taste, and that's cool, but a dude getting paid, moving out the hood and then scooping up other heads from queens (that really deserve to shine) is a great thing. I ain't like the last Mobb album either. Maybe they need to step it up, but I am glad for those dudes anyway. I hope it pops and people stop hating. Peace.

the new mobb deep album is wicked i just bought it yesterday and i put it on my ipod the album was worth it mobb deep is a good rapper i think he should keep relesing more album's and stay with G unit

fuck all dem punk ass crackas that say that mobb deep sucks. Mobb Deep is gangsta, NIGGGAAA!!!

fuck all dem punk ass crackas that say that mobb deep sucks. Mobb Deep is gangsta, NIGGGAAA!!!

MOBB IS ONE OF THE HOTTEST GROUPS EVER, BUT THEY DID'NT PUT THEY BEST IN THIS BLOOD MONEY ALBUM. P IS HOT I'M TELLING YOU, LYRICS ARE BANGIN', BUT SINCE H.N.I.C. HE'S BEEN LACKIN'! WHEN WILL HAVOC MAKE A SOLO ALBUM, HE'S HOT TOO. I JUST KNOW THEY CAN COME BETTER, I BEEN A FAN SINCE JUVENILE HELL!

gggg-unit mobb deep the best better then game coz he game over

fuck mobb deep is the shit if i think other wise fuck u

yeah!!!!!! mobb deep is at they best they never sounded better i can listen 2 all they songs 4 mics minimum fuck the source

mobb deep humiliated 2pac on " drop a gem on em ". for all u young cats and those new to hiphop, make sure u go and check it out. it's off the 96' album Hell on Earth. thats what a diss track is, not just name callin like hit em up, that shit was considered corny back in the days. but ya'll young cats dont know about that, the 93'-97' circa in hiphop was the illest!!! guess most of ya'll were like born or in kindergarten during those years. not ur faults, just spreading knowledge to those really wanna hear that old real mobb shit.

To the above post, I feel you man. I'm from the old school era too. Back then dissing another rapper meant it was done cleverely, and definitely in poetic, lyrical form. Hit em up was honestly " name calling " on beats. That joint still isn't respected by cats from our times man. Nowadays cats can't be clever no more, they just say everyone's name. From 50 to Em to dipset everyopne calls out now. What happened to the days, when you had to listen to the rhyme and figure out what they were talking about. Guess thinking was alot more involved back then. No wonder rhymes are so corny and simple now. This clubb mobb shit is hard to get used to, they honestly dropped off when infamy dropped in 1999. Every release from Infamy to now is weak. Forget Gunit bring back your old crew, Noyd, Chinky, Littles, Infamous Mobb, Bars & Hooks... One thing though, Mobb's worst efforts are far better than any southern crunk shit.
