Can we talk about how underrated Hell on Earth is?

Prodigy YAPPED on this entire album

Production was insane, gritty, and visceral. 

Not to mention, lyrically, this was Prodigy at his peak. 













 
Album is a straight up classic to me. They refined their sound. Stripped down, gritty, eerie production & P was at his lyrical height.

Strictly lyrically speaking. Musically and artistically not even close.

That's why NY ****** fell all the way off with no signs of returning. Your ears never really evolved past lyricism.

I LOVE this album. The Infamous is their classic and one of my all time favorite rap albums but mannnn, Hell on Earth is right on it's heels.

This is one of the darkest and grittiest albums you will ever hear and P is in elite form, he destroys every track. Apostle's Warning is one of my top 10 favorite verses ever, he was just on another level on this lp. It hurts to hear him now compared to this, I don't know if any other MC had such a dramatic drop off as Prodigy.

I remember my cousin having this album and only being able to hear In the Long Run after he unlocked the song with this computer, seemed so advanced back then.
 
Never cared for this album.

All that "dark" "gritty" **** was OD to me. Felt mad forced.

P is a great rapper but the "character" he portrays....just not buying it and it makes it difficult for me to take him seriously.

"Extortion" is the only song I kept from the album. I think I listen to more songs off Juvenile Hell :lol:

Not touching The Infamous.

Exactly how I feel. Apostle's Warning gives me the chills. Whole album was on repeat for all of 97. This and Muddy Waters were the last tapes I ever bought. I was late to the CD game but that was an end of an era for me.

I feel you, but the same could be said about a grip of these rap dudes. Even these "real" rap dudes lie through their teeth. By the end of their album, they've killed the equivalent of a mid sized city. If I want authenticity, I'll go stand in front of a bodega in Newark.
 
I've had this conversation ad nauseum on here.

There's plenty of rappers who's music represents their reality FAR more than Prodigy.

So I don't listen to that "grip of these rap dudes".

Cats who know their history know. When it was cool to be on some educated ****, the group you know as "Mobb Deep" called themselves Poetical Prophets.

Then when the tough guy **** popped off, they renamed themselves Mobb Deep.

All these characters that change their personalities to fit the times/trends are wild lame to me.

You can't talk that talk and then be a victim out here on the reg. Losing jewelry. Regularly getting snuffed.

The music on The Infamous was undeniable though. Hell On Earth, not so much.
