Hell on Earth faired much better on subsequent listens than my initial evaluation would suggest, and I started listening to The Infamous again and realizing Mobb Deep is actually pretty fucking cool in their own live and direct stab the neck way. I've only heard this all the way through once so I'm a bit reluctant to evaluate it but I also want to bring this blog entirely up to date, so fuck it. These guys seemed to be played out by this point in their career but it's still reasonably fun motions to hear them go through and they bring in some cool guests. Havoc seems to be the progenitor of the Necro-style brand of producing, and while he definitely understands music better than Necro it gets to be one way too similar sounding track after another, more here than in the previous two albums. This would be less of a problem if they were interested in putting more variety in their rhymes, but then they wouldn't be Mobb Deep.
