    1. Daaaaaamn that’s what im talking about mobb bringing that sound back reality rap dun Murda muzik sound black cocaine was ill album is gonna be ill son definitely better then blood money plus big 10 droping is about to be grimey season

    2. yawn. love the mobb, but as its been mentioned, Handsome Boy Modelling School did this, like, 12 years ago. This is Waterworld.

    3. I understand this is a bonus track, but I’m calling it the third track that I’ve heard of Black Cocaine and I’m just not feeling any of them. I’m all for experimentation, but sometimes you wanna stick to your lane or your knitting as they stay.

      Mobb Deep is your hard core street but banging beats that can rock any crowd or club, then they top it off with the gutter talk. Now the gutter talk just sounds stale and like others have said, it’s like the same damn lyrics being recycled.

      It has basically always been that way, but you never noticed because the beats were on fire. Here they hand over production duties to outsiders and you basically have an epic fail.

      When you make a song, the track has to determine the direction of the lyrics, not just “hey P, we gon spit that gutter eesh we always do thon.” This is a jazzy slow track, they should have gone in a different direction lyrically if its a must they rap on the track. Talk about life, talk about family, kids going up, going from kids in QB to now, talk about three years or whatever it was in the bing, not more nonsense. They missed an opportunity to have people rank them higher lyrically.

      Also, I posted a comment when I listened to “Get It Forever” concerned that this would basically be the first time that Mobb Deep would be putting out an album that did not have a single or some type of radio play and that that would seriously affect sales. A bunch of stans got offended and claimed otherwise. However, the album is flopping right now. I understand it is “only in independent stores” and I assume that means there will be more wider spread distribution in a couple weeks, but while I was looking for them to do about 50,000 the first week, I’m thinking they’ll be lucky if a year from now, the album has moved 50,000 units. So this means these cats won’t see a dime off their album – 50 being the type of cat that he is, you know he is laughing that they left G-Unit. Hopefully, they get that tour money. But either they go back to Havoc handling production and doing what they do best, or call it a day. I’m not sure if they are ready to handle moving a total of 10,000 units. Especially when it takes them at least three years to put out an album. At that rate, the kid working at Mikey D’s is making a whole lot more than them.

    4. This joint is BANANAS SON!!! Seriously to all the cats dissin this joint I ask, “What type of music moves you?” It certainly isn’t that dark dimented NYC hip hop mane, meaning you’re in the wrong lane for real. If you don’t get this joint, just move on to something else you will NEVER understand this. 4 stars just for Mobb stepping out of the box & killing it.
