Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review
Prodigy and Havoc, the Queensbridge MCs behind Mobb Deep are clearly keen to set the record straight. Their fifth album, Infamy is a bitterly paranoid appraisal of the thug life and all the player haters who dare to test their style. In fact, the duo have pulled out all the "gats" to create the most blue, misanthropic gangsta rap album of 2001. Produced by the wildly different Bad Boy Hitman EZ Elpee, Dr Dre protégé Scott Storch, posse member, Alchemist and Havoc himself, Infamy has a highly funky, soulful, demented groove. Although the duo don't really stray from cursing, fronting and killing their enemies, both real and imagined, there are some magisterial, incredibly entertaining songs here. Prodigy and Havoc seem to be having a little fun after playing games with ferocious, slap-down tunes like "Kill That Nigga". Songs such as "Burn", the almost sweet, "Pray For Me" with Missy's gal, Lil Mo and "Live Foul" with it's jump-up ragga rhythm definitely touch home. In fact, the latter half of the album is where we get the young, fresh Mobb Deep of The Infamous, their second album and don't they know it. The strings-heavy "Nuthin' Like Home" is almost as good as their dancefloor stormer, "Give Up The Goods" and well, that's classic in this scribe's book. --Reuben Dessay

CD Description
Fifth album for NYC hardcore gangsta rappers. It features guest appearances by Lil' Mo, 112, Ron Isley and the Lox and production work by the Neptunes, the Alchemist and the duo'sown Havoc. Includes the single 'Burn'.

2.0 out of 5 stars The Fall Off, 5 Jan 2006
By A Customer
After hearing albums like the Infamous and Hell On Earth, I was excited about hearing Infamy, without the thought that M-O-B-B would ever cross over. I was wrong. The beats carry the content of the songs, the rhymes are standard and much like the crap that is being released under the label of hip-hop nowadays. The hooks are what each song is sold on, the pop sounding choruses or meaningless "war" lyrics that just come across as annoying. There are a few bearable tracks but no where near enough for this album to redeem itself. I was deeply disappointed with this album, Murda Muzik was not up to par with infamous and Hell On Earth, but Infamy really was the end for Mobb Deep. (Amerikaz Nightmare confirms that statement)

5.0 out of 5 stars Great beats,Great Lyrics, 18 Dec 2001
This album is nothing like Mobb Deep's usual efforts. It is the best out of all their releases. The beats on the tracks are all excellent. A new beat maker who has made beats for the likes of Dr Dre created beats for 8 tracks on the album. Tracks to look out for are, The learning (burn), kill or be killed,Clap, Hey luv (with 112) and Get Away. This album has the talent we saw in Murda Musik.
If you are considering buying the album just because of their current beef with JayZ then re-consider. They only mention him twice and they dont really diss him. Mobb Deep have concentrated on creating a great album and have ignored the taunting and childish behaviour of JayZ.
Prodigy drops some real hot lyrics on this album, check out his solo album HNIC.
I have rated this album 5 stars as it has great beats and lyrics. Its about time somebody gave these MCs some credit! Go buy the album!

5.0 out of 5 stars QB's Finest, 28 Dec 2001
By A. Johnson (Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
The album opens with whut is set to be a new thug anthem for 2002 with Pray for Me. Lil Mo adds a lil gangsta sound to the hook, with Prodigy spittin thug literature over a typically street beat from Havoc. Murda Muzik had the Quiet Storm remix, HNIC had YBE, Infamy has Bounce. A track aimed directly at the clubs, with a fittin title becuse it will be impossible not to bounce to this beat. After givin yaself neck-ache, Bounce is followed by, for me, the album's stand-out cut. Clap has Havoc producin another neck-snappin beat, with an addictive chorus n Prodigy spittin witty punchlines n straight thug verses in his immediately recognisble voice, Hav even puts in one of his best verses on the track. The album even finds room for 112 to put a hook in on Hey Luv. P n Hav get real for a minute n tells it how it is with a gyrl rather than actin fake about how many lydeez he's laid in the past week. Slim's high-vocals wail across the track n make it flow like he wuz made for Havoc's production. The result of puttin the hottest act in R'n'B with arguably the hottest act in Hip Hop is a track which will keep both the thug's and their boo alike happy. But don't think the Mobb are startin to go soft, Hey Luv is followed up by one of the hardest cuts on the album thats been burnin up the radio and my top 10 recently, with The Learning (Burn). Havoc lays down a hard-hittin beat with Noyd lendin a verse as always n Vita from Murder Inc puts down the chorus, as Prodigy spits fire at Jay-Z. Shots are also fired at Jigga on Crawlin, tho this time much more direct...and mkes references to the infamous incident of Jay-Z puttin the baby pictures of Prodigy on a screen at Summer Jam. The track is typical grimey Mobb anthem. The head noddin beats carry on throughout the album on one of the albums stand-out cuts, Live Foul, Hurt Niggas, nd on the club joint, Handcuffs. Other stand-out cuts include There I Go Again with Ron Isley croonin the hook in his tell-tale voice like only he can. A nd no classic album would be complete the retrospective cut, in this case, Nothing Like Home, featurin new-comer first heard on the 41st side compiltion, Littles.
From track 1 to the bonus track at the end of the album, Infamy is straight, raw, hard-hittin, grimey hip hop, just like it should be
