HNIC - By: , 19 Jun 2002 
I bought this album about a year back, gave it a couple of spins & then just left it to look pretty on my shelf among with the many other Hip-Hop CD's I own.
Recently after listening to to more previous albums by Mobb Deep & being a little disapointed with them due to them being extremely slow,i realised what a quality album this one was.
The album overalll has a complete mix of beats to it. It ranges from mellow tunes such as the wicked 'Genesis' & the oustanding 'Diamonds' thru to 'Wat U Rep?' & 'HNIC' wich are a lot more head boppin & healthy for your sound system.
The real quality lies with the featuring artists such as outstanding N.O.R.E. & the up comming Bars & Hooks, who blind you with some dirty rhymes & kickin lyrics.
Even the skit's were impressive, as some of these were some memorable lines borrowed from some good film titles.
If your still a little unsure about this album take a listen as its not one where your bored after the first tune, its well worth a spin & one of his better albums.
Better than I hoped - By: , 30 Jan 2001 don't reallly check for the majority of this 'thug shit'. Capone & Nore, Jay-Z, DMX, etc, etc... find it alll kinda boring. There is a ever-decreasing minority that do it a little bit differently though, & Mobb Deep are the bleeding edge of this minority (Nas's first album was in this minority, the rest are in the toilet). I don't think they'll ever re-create the sheer darkness of 'the infamous' (mainly because hip-hop seems to care less, & less about the beats behind the rhymes nowadays), but lyricallly they can still make it happen. HNIC see's Prodigy still living a thug life, but still finding time to express a little remorse, regret, personal pain, & alll the other things that we alll feel from time to time. Check it.
Dark beats and grimy rhymes - By: , 16 Dec 2000 
Prodigy of Mobb Deep drops his eagerly awaited solo LP, & it doesn't disappoint. Production is by the excellent Alchemist,Havoc,Rockwilder, P himself & others. Rhymes are dark & grimy as always, subject matter is mostly the same guns, drugs & thugs, but told with spine chilling effect (listen to tune with Cormega). Standout track - You can neva feel my pain, which is about P's suffernig from sickle cell. Excellent albulm for anyone into QB hip hop.Mobb fans wont be disappointed.
