Best The Prodigy Albums3/28/2021
The Queensbridge duo smacked the game on its head with a lethal dose of gritty rhymes and a macabre aura, these were ever two guys you just didnt wanna f with.During their peak period, they delivered some of the most ominous and incredible Hip Hop ever.
With that being said, heres a ranking of their albums, from worst to first. Acts such as Illegal, Da Youngstas, and Shyheim were young adolescents talking tough guy talk, and the former Poetical Prophets were every bit as hard. Best The Prodigy Albums Plus Working WithKnown for their very adult-centered cut Hit It From The Back, they caught a little buzz, plus working with Large Pro and Premo was a big deal. The label they were signed to at the time dropped them (idiots) and from then on it was on to bigger and better things. For the most part they still brought dark production and high levels of intimidating rhymes on cuts like Get Away, Clap, and My Gats Spittin, even though many accused them of going the RB route with the Ron Isley-assisted Here I Go Again and especially the thug love-esque cut Hey Luv. ![]() Cuts like the insane Put Em In Their Place, the highly controversial, yet FLAMES Pearly Gates, and In Love With The Moula were as cold as any cut theyve ever done. However, on the flip side, cuts like Capital P, Capital H, Backstage Pass, and Have A Party weigh the album down from being the stellar album it was supposed to be. While it was a step up from their prior effort Infamy, they were still missing consistent blistering production they were known for at their peak and there were missteps with cuts like Hammers and Shorty Wop. All wasnt lost, however, as cuts like We Up, When Your Hear Dat and Win Or Lose were just sick, stellar standouts that had potential to make this album rank among their truly best albums. Even tracks with Kanye and Lil John couldnt completely save this album, but the effort was definitely commendable. ![]() Putting aside beefs and miscommunication, they reminded people with The Infamous Mobb Deep that they still were Queensbridges original stick-up kids. However, other cuts like Adrenaline, Allustrious, and their mega-smash Quiet Storm (especially the remix with Lil Kim) made them household stars if they werent already. It would be years before we would even see this type of greatness from them again even remotely. Easily rivaling The Infamous, to this day many fans debate which one is the better album. Whether this one is better than The Infamous or not remains up for discussion, but nobody can deny this is a classic on any scale, which once and for all made the Mobb a certified threat within the rap game. One of the most defining albums New York Hip Hop has ever delivered, this was the soundtrack to wylin out goons and troublemaking tough guys that feel like acting up. A lot of people forget this was in fact Mobb Deeps sophomore album, as this album was so monstrous it made Juvenile Hell practically obsolete. Other standouts such as the vivid Cradle To The Grave, Up North Trip, and Give Up The Goods, tracks that perfectly characterize one of the games all-time brutally realistic albums to ever grace our ears and our speakers. Ive followed Hip Hop culture since I first got introduced to it when I was a mere seven years of age.
