This is an Enhanced CD, which contains both regular audio tracks and multimedia computer files.
Mobb Deep's 1995 classic, THE INFAMOUS, was that kind of album that could silence other MCs. On HELL ON EARTH, the duo continues to deliver hard-core production and vocals that rage with anger. Never smiling and always painting their lifestyle with harsh lyrics, rappers Havoc and Prodigy are still the most feared rappers east of the Mississippi.
HELL ON EARTH's dark production lays the ground for both Havoc and Prodigy to catch wreck on this, their third album. Hav's in-your-face rhyme style and Pee's eerily monotonous flow bring drama to each of the 14 tracks. Visited by a wicked lineup of guest artists (including Nas, Raekwon and Method Man), Mobb Deep turn HELL ON EARTH into a lyrical battle field.
Industry Reviews
4.5 Mics (out of 5) - ...Mobb Deep are probably the most intense, most authentic, most powerful practitioners of a specifically Eastern hardcore feel to touch the mic this decade...
The Source (12/01/1996)
...jewels bright enough to truly shed light on what's going on in the QB projects....Mobb Deep have made another soundtrack for the StrEASTs....classic material...
Rap Pages (12/01/1996)
...Even darker than its predecessor, HELL ON EARTH is yet another astounding work that impresses with its unswaying devotion to the group's disturbingly insular environment....Truly hip hop's antiheroes...
Vibe (12/01/1996)
8 (out of 10) - ...pursues retribution like Charles Bronson in the Death Wish flicks. If the subject matter is somewhat limited to this 'I'm gonna get you first, sucka' motif--well, Mobb Deep's big payback always sounds bitchin'...
Spin (01/01/1997)
...this young rap duo creates a haunting portrait of New York-style thug life. Into a thumping mix where gunshots clash with eerie strings, Mobb Deep drop urban folk tales of violence and retribution over the crackle of scratchy vinyl... - Rating: B+
Entertainment Weekly (11/22/1996)
4 stars out of 5 - ...Inflates every cliche about life on the street...until they reached biblically fantastic proportions....As guides to the Big Apple go, it's a stylish, wonderfully exaggerated hoot.
