‘Ain’t no such thing as halfway cooked.” ‘Scared to look.” That’s from 8 Mile when Eminem battles Anthony Mackie. Maybe that’s the movie this reminds you of.
New York is Here! - Pissed I missed the first but I gotta say, its satisfying as shit watching a bunch of Southern dudes boppin their heads to one of the albums that made the 1990's in NY feel the way it did. I've tried to avoid queens on the way through NYC but I'll *always stop for the music coming out of there (Mobb Deep, one of the Beastie Boys, Nas, 50 Cent, A Tribe Called Quest, LL Cool J, Action Bronson... place is gifted with gritty ass music.)
The same way y’all bewildered that this kid hasn’t seen Paid in Full, I’m godsmacked that y’all have never heard Shook Ones and have no idea who Prodigy is lmao 😅
Mobb Deep was one of the best rap groups of the 90s. Every track on this album, The Infamous, is a straight banger. This album got steady play in my car for 10 years straight. Havoc was an incredible producer. Sadly we lost Prodigy a couple years ago to Sickle Cell. RIP 🙏.
It breaks my heart that the younger generation has never heard of Mobb Deep. Like.. how? No one’s ever seen 8 mile? The final battle where Eminem ripped shit up? Mannnnnn. Mobb Deep is one of those groups that shaped hiphop in the 90s.. when rap was still rap. This beat is absolutely legendary. Sigh.
a lot of us do to be fair; the song is pretty big and people who really listen to rap should know it & it's been in so many 2K games that a lot should know regardless
@@01FESONE you know mumble rap is dead though right🤣that era has been long gone and thank God for it but most of us don’t listen to that and actually think it’s good - I’d say mumble rap was a part of trap and as a whole genre trap music is good
Fun fact... the 'tic' 'tic' 'tic' sound you hear when you turn on a gas stove is what Havoc sampled for the high hat on this instrumental. Thus the stove in the beginning of the video. That's dope af. Rip Prodigy ✊
RIP Prodigy, this shit is CLASSIC. Prodigy was deep thought he was being stalked by aliens and was abducted several times by aliens. Dude predicted his own death. Heavy duty shit. Awesome song
Thats why i call cap on these dudes. You gonna tell me that they saw paid in full but never heard of mobb deep. I guess whatever it takes for clicks and likes
@@deewright2372they are truely misleading all of us. I hate these guys. I am not even into rap but know this song. Next time they will do a "never heard of eminem before" video
Listen man , havoc of mobb deep is one of the illest producers to ever touch the rap game . Can´t really not belive in non of yall never heard of these 2 , they are legends . And will for ever be . REST IN PEACE PRODIGY ! Spent 100´s of hours listening to your lyrics , and not just all the mainstream stuff . Much love from denmark to u cartierfamily , keep up them videos coming .
Mobb Deep featuring Lil Kim ….. one of the best collabs EVER! Love your channel, camaraderie, and everything about y’all. Thank you for the videos!! 🙏🙏
Mobb Deep (Prodigy and Havoc) are legendary. They're from the same hood as Nas and grew up in the same era he did (Queensbridge Projects in NY). In the 70s, 80s and 90s, QB was notorious for being one of the most crime ridden neighborhoods in America.
This reaction video is hilarious and makes me feel old. These and the movies you guys mentioned the classics of my generation (graduated high school in 1996).
I cannot understate the Impact Mobb Deep, Tribe Called Quest and WuTang, Biggie and Tupac, these 5 are probably more loved and respected more than any other Hip Hop all 5 have huge fanbases n the UK, and the UK Boom Bap scene is born out of hearing these groups/artists. There are MC's today dropping boom boom bap beats that basically owe a lot to the likes of Mobb Deep, WuTang etc legendary shit
Respect to y'all dudes! This is your history. The older generation needs to show respect to you the way you are demonstrating to us! Nuff Props respect n luv to the young cats!
I saw Prodigy in the corner in N Philly when he was in town for a show. He was my favorite writer for years. It took all my will power to just walk by him and say 'It's the P!' I for real wanted to be a nuisance but I didn't. RIP Prodigy.
The Infamous Mobb Deep. Glad u guys gave these dudes a listen. One of the best rap duos in Hip Hop and respected with in the genre. Prodigy (red shirt) died a few years back from sickle cell)..Prodigy is regarded as a RAP LEGEND amongst the best of them. Havoc (blue shirt) is regarded as one of the best producers in Hip Hop and a personal favourite of mine. Mobb Deeps discography is crazy. They later signed with Aftermath and did two albums under G-Unit. RIP Prodigy
First off great channel and love the reactions. I do find it amazing that this was the first you heard of Mobb Deep. As someone who grew up on Long Island in the 90's, Mobb Deep was all over the pace (as were artists like Nas, Wu-Tang and others). Sometimes don't realize how spoiled we were with what we grew up on compared to other generations and/or other parts of the country,
I didnt even know it was possible not to know who Mobb Deep was .. especially this track... i think they play it everywhere on NBA2K etc for the younger generations
That's how Hip Hop was back in the 90's. It was really all about the lyrics back then. Nas 17 when he first came out back in 1992 spitting lyrics like crazy.
Mobb deeps old shit was dope. Em said “there ain’t no such things as halfway crooks” in 8 mile in the last battle with papa doc. Paying homage to the Mobb.
a Phillie is when you empty out the tobacco from a cigar and use the wrapping to make a joint. Its called a phillie because that's the brand of cigar people usually used.
Bruh. I'm born in 1998 and live in Australia. I've listened to mobb deep everyday since 2009. Idk how long yous been living under a rock for but Mobb Deep are the most iconic duo in 90's rap.
I don't know if anyone has mentioned it or if you all figured it out already but a "Philly" is a Phillies Blunt Cigar. They were/are easy to crack open, long ways, dump the tobacco out, fill 'em up and seal back up like they were made for it. Typically you would fill it up with a nickel or dime bag. Another popular choice was the "EL" or El Producto Cigar. These where more complicated to take apart and roll but they could hold a lot more, or they could be cut down for a lesser amount. The ELs were more expensive but they were a lot smoother to smoke. The "Philly" was far cheaper, tasted sweet, but was more harsh on the lungs.

How can you be a hip hop/rap fan and not heard of Mobb Deep?! That’s crazy!
Kids these days 😂
These youngins don’t know shit about hip-hop.
No way these guys don't know.
fr even people who don't listen to rap would recognise this song u gotta take "first time listening" reactions with a pinch of salt lol
They cappin bruh
You guys have no idea how this song flipped the whole world upside down . This is one of the most important hip hop songs of all time
Yet not many know the original mix which was even darker/harder. Sick af
Can u link it?
Yeah it did, I remember.
I actually avoided thiz group because of 2pac until he died. That's how serious the East/West beef was
The same way y’all bewildered that this kid hasn’t seen Paid in Full, I’m godsmacked that y’all have never heard Shook Ones and have no idea who Prodigy is lmao 😅
Aint no way some 30 yr old OGs hearing this for the first time... man these guys must be brand new to the rap game or locked up the past 20 years
Suburban brothers dude.
This song is almost 20 years old...so it's possible
"Rock u in yo face, stab yo brain wit ya nose bone"
One of the hardest lines in rap history
For every rhyme I write it's 25 to life.....

This is real rap.

Agreed rip prodigy 🕊️
Lol right. And these guys have never heard of them? Bizarre
FACTS when I heard that beat drop when I was 15 in 92 I was LIKE YO!!!!!!!!
Mobb Deep one of the greatest duos ever. "The Infamous" is a straight classic. No skips on the album.
Shook one’s part 2 has easily one of the hardest verses ever in hip hop! RIP prodigy
One of the hardest beats ever produced.
Glad you guys watched this. Prodigy will always been an influence on so many of us
Don't forget Havoc
Prodigy was an amazing person period.
@@stollinroned5090 you are correct, but that's not what the new generation wants to hear

Go listen to the entire album. It's a masterpiece I lived through this era. NYC was on fire. Rest in Peace to Bandana P. Never ever forget you bro!
It's stunning to me when I see these "first time" vids of groups from my youth...Mobb Deep's debut and Hell on Earth were groundbreaking.
Juvenile Hell was their debut. The Infamous, Hell on Earth, then Murda Muzik
@@P-DAPS Yeah, I routinely forget about Juvenile Hell and always consider Infamous as their debut even though it isn’t. Thanks for the correction
@@digitalsmoke1 Infamous just feels like their first album. What a classic! In my personal top 5
SAME!!! I'm afraid that might mean we gettin old! LOL
Like how do these dudes not know this stuff
Hands down one of the hardest rap records ever put out. These guys were the realness. Love this entire album.

Awesome! Loved this reaction! I have Mob Deep on my gym playlist and this song is Fire!!!
This is the power of 90s rap music.. authentic, real, timeless … gets heads nodding immediately 💪🏾
Need more 90s hip hop! Best decade for hip hop period!
This beat was used for the last rap battle in 8 Mile. Em even says, "no such thing as half way crooks!"
Em ..😂 please ,That's disrespectful mention that white boy around real hiphop
Legendary tune legendary group. Any Gen X knows this.
Your man in the white t-shirt is feeling this deep in his soul.
85 to 98 best hip hop era.

My favorite rap group. Hell on Earth is another one of their many hits. Album version with P’s legendary last verse

Mobb Deep Part two is one of the hardest song. I used to listen to it so much when I was a kid in the 90s.
The all time, greatest 90s rap track! No equals.
Can’t believe ya never heard of Mobb Deep… this from the “ Infamous Album “… Classic 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I wish you guys woulda discussed mobb deep more. You were so locked in during the song but we really didn’t get too many thoughts.
Y’all just witnessed a masterclass. Good content fellas
Yes young Brothers Mobb deep Is without question new yorks Grimiest rap group and no doubt the Best Duo to ever do it
RIP Prodigy. You all need to do Guru. Another great one we lost early.
Def gotta do more mobb deep
I pray they do.

That time. Amazing music. Hip hop was never the same.
Mobb Deep’s album The Infamous is worth a spin from back to back. A true classic.
That's how Hip Hop was back in the 90's. It was really all about the lyrics back then. Nas 17 when he first came out back in 1992 spitting lyrics like crazy.
This is my era!
It really shows you how far we’ve Fallen 😢
Perfect 1st Mobb Deep song to react to. Nice!
R.I.P. Prodigy🙏
It has that grit from a bygone era the epitome of 90s its like New Jersey Drive Juice Strapped Clockers and Fresh vibes old skool rap
Genius at work 🐐’d
Mobb deeps old shit was dope. Em said “there ain’t no such things as halfway crooks” in 8 mile in the last battle with papa doc. Paying homage to the Mobb.
90s n Early to Mid 2000s was the shit
I listen to this song at least once a month. I still get hyped every time I hear it!
