Description

If you haven t read or listened to My Infamous Life: The Autobiography of Mobb Deep s Prodigy, you should really take the time to do so (will take 13-plus hours if you re going for the audiobook). The late Queensbridge rapper sums up his time on earth early on in the book: extreme pain to extreme pleasure has been the story of my entire life. With that said, H.N.I.C., released in 2000, is a 22-track summary of the ups and downs of the infamous path P walked. The dunn-language slinging, rock you in your face, stab your brain with your nose bone Mobb Deep member is present, but so is the more vulnerable Prodigy, who s suffered from Sickle Cell Anemia all his life. You also get the more pensive side of the authentic wordsmith, and it s such diversity and depth that makes H.N.I.C. an essential companion to any or all of the Mobb Deep classics. Oh, can t forget the sinister production that sets the perfect mood for Prodigy s no-bs bars, s o to Alchemist, Havoc, Rockwilder and em. Highlights include: Keep It Thoro, Y.B.E, Three, What U Rep, Genesis, and Rock Dat Shit.
