Would be surprised if people are still listening to most the garage now days in the future. Rap and popular music in general has got so washed out, no depth, empty lyrics. Guess that’s what happens when you let the record companies control what music is pushed.

Don't know what gang life is like. I respect anyone who grew up in that environment. Listening to this while working out and when I'm down....motivates me to keep going. It's real music.
"You can put your whole army against my team and I guarantee you it'll be your very last time breathing". Cold blooded the way he said it. When I was born in 86 so I heard a lot of these songs when they first came out and to me it's just so crazy that these mother fucking songs are way more lit in the songs nowadays and ain't even got one cuss word in them. They put out some gangster sinister ass shit on the radio without a single cuss word that just puts these songs today to shame.
Mobbdeep came out the box on fire. This album is a banger and a classic. This beat in particular is one of the most famous and best to practice your rhyming skills. These guys where only 19 and put the entire album together by themselves, all of it, production and all. Dont even get me going on the quality of the beats and lyricism. FIRE!! RIP Prodigy. Thank you for all the great memories. I was 22 at the time
Same, no matter what mood I'm in, put on some old school hip hop and I'm the biggest, meanest gangster alive (: it has gotten me out of some deep holes.
The first effective rapping producer. Probably the best. Kanye uses ghostwriters so does Dre and if Tim doesn't he should cause he ain't a good rapper.
Havocs beats on the infamous album and HOE were extraordinary. Top 10 easily. His problem however has been consistency and surpassing his calibre. Like many producers. This is why The Alchemist is the greatest. Followed by the usual suspects, RZA, PR, Premier, JD.
It's unbelievable how timeless this whole song is. The beat immediately resonates with whichever generation listens to it, and the lyrics hit just right each damn time.
I’ve told people that west coast started gangsta rap but east coast perfected it! The darkest, gloomiest beats to match the hardcore and relatable lyrics, Wu-Tang and Mobb Deep knew how to take street life and put it to a beat.
I understand why Marshall chose this as the most important part of the 8 Mile movie. It describes exactly what he was trying to portray. Havoc got the production on this sooooooo right!!! He has created a masterpiece. I have loved it, still love it and always will. Shout out to Quincy for the sample...fiiiiiiiiiirrrrrreeeeee!!!!!!
When the crowd is waiting for Papa Doc to spit, and when he forfeits, the energy in the room as this beat plays is bananas. I wish I could go to an underground rap battle like this. If anyone knows of one in the Tampa or Florida West Coast area, let me know.

No son that's the homage Em had to pay telling his story stepping into this artform. Understand the level of mastery and bar setting to intro it for 8 mile. It would be the equivalent of Beatrix Kiddos Hattori Hanzo sword. The End.
Listened to this album through the hardest times in my life. Music has power and this album, Daft Punk's Discovery, and Eagles have all helped push me through times I didnt think I ever would. Mobb Deep forever underrated

Fuck everybody! Fuck y'all if you doubt me!
I'm a piece of fucking white trash, I say it proudly
And fuck this battle, I don't wanna win, I'm outtie
Here, tell these people something they don't know about me
@FALCON You mean the battle raps that Eminem had to get the legendary Craig G to write?
No son that's the homage Em had to pay telling his story stepping into this artform. Understand the level of mastery and bar setting to intro it for 8 mile. It would be the equivalent of Beatrix Kiddos Hattori Hanzo sword. The End.
"Sometimes I wonder, do I deserve to live? Am i gonna burn in hell for all the things I did?"
so dope
Listened to this album through the hardest times in my life. Music has power and this album, Daft Punk's Discovery, and Eagles have all helped push me through times I didnt think I ever would. Mobb Deep forever underrated
Can Literally Relate.
RIP Prodigy. Rest in power, rest in peace. Respect.

Best beat in the last 30 years hands down
Agreed this beat is dark and cold and beats anything that is out today
You may be right about that, in my opinion.
