The Infamous Mobb Deep (Mobb Deep, 2014)

Better than I expected, even given the good reviews.  Wish Havoc had a bigger hand in the production, but Illmind's beats are good too.  Some of the tracks, like the staggeringly uncreative All a Dream, which has four verses all obviating one Biggie line, are true duds.  Lot of really great ones too though.





Nigga Please (Ol' Dirty Bastard, 1999)

For a bit it seemed like it was an all-time great.  The initial rush wore off a little after a while but it's compelling throughout.  Lines like "If I got a problem, a problem got a problem til it's gone" alone make it worth staying through the more wearying stretches.
