On the real, I feel like Prodigy's look straight at me on that cover, and he's saying "Yo dun, I thought this was a hip-hop site. And you're posting about Rihanna and Chris Brown and B.o.B. and shit? Give me one good reason why I shouldn't smack the bi**h out of your right now."

Mobb Deep & Alchemist’s “Waterboarding” Is Far From Torturous (Listen & Download)

"Waterboarding" isn't what I expected at all from an Alchemist-produced Mobb Deep song. The beat sounds like something that would fit perfectly on a MF Doom album. Regardless the song is still pretty dope and it's nice hearing Mobb Deep rap over a beat that's a little out of the norm for them. Listen and download...

Mobb Deep & Nas Step in Some “Dog Sh*t” (Listen & Download)

In a lot of ways, Mobb Deep is the archetypal east coast street rap crew. Capable of absolute classics, they were also incredibly inconsistent, due no doubt in part to the fact that Havoc and/or Prodigy were constantly in and out of jail.
