Limited double 180 gram vinyl LP pressing. The Infamous is the second studio album by the American hip hop duo Mobb Deep, released in 1995. The album features guest appearances from Nas and Wu-Tang Clan members Reakwon and Ghostface Killah. It marked Mobb Deep's transition from a relatively unknown rap duo to an influential and commercially successful one. One of the cornerstones of the New York hardcore movement, The Infamous is Mobb Deep's masterpiece, a relentlessly bleak song cycle that's been hailed by hardcore rap fans as one of the most realistic gangsta albums ever recorded. This is hard, underground hip hop that demands to be met on it's own terms, with few melodic hooks to draw the listener in. Similarly, there's little pleasure or relief offered in the picture of the streets Mobb Deep paint here. They inhabit a war zone where crime and paranoia hang constantly in the air. The product of an uncommon artistic vision, The Infamous stands as an all-time gangsta/hardcore classic. Review: Official Queensbridge Murderers... - So glad I found this classic hip hop gem! Review: FOR PEOPLE THINKING TWICE ON BUYING THIS - A classic album! But this is more for the people thinking twice on buying it cause of the bad reviews. I would only recommend this vinyl if you have a actual good vinyl player. Not one of those cheep, in a suit case, 30-60 dollar vinyl players. You know what I’m talking about! I got my copy and everything was fine. Came with the actual cover (cause that’s another complaint from the reviews) and both sides play fine. Made me wonder if the bad reviews are just from beginner vinyl players or they actually sent a bad copy 🤔 Either way my copy came out fine and I highly recommend this album

FOR PEOPLE THINKING TWICE ON BUYING THIS
A classic album! But this is more for the people thinking twice on buying it cause of the bad reviews. I would only recommend this vinyl if you have a actual good vinyl player. Not one of those cheep, in a suit case, 30-60 dollar vinyl players. You know what I’m talking about! I got my copy and everything was fine. Came with the actual cover (cause that’s another complaint from the reviews) and both sides play fine. Made me wonder if the bad reviews are just from beginner vinyl players or they actually sent a bad copy 🤔 Either way my copy came out fine and I highly recommend this album

Overall satisfaction
While not flawless, these vinyl pressings are highly accurate, exhibiting strong bass response and superior audio quality. This classic hip-hop album is a valuable addition to any collection; I wholeheartedly recommend it, particularly from this vendor, as I have no reservations. Furthermore, the packaging was professional.

it's great and nice to have on vinyl
One thing to be clear and careful about is that the photo shown is for the album that came out after the one listed. The one listed is for The Infamous album, not Hell on Earth. I spoke with an Amazon representative and they clarified that this was the case. However, I did order this once and received the Hell on Earth album. So, just be aware of that distinction. In terms of the album, it's great and nice to have on vinyl. The original pressing did have the full artwork but has been out of print for years. This reissue has the black sleeve and no real artwork, as others have stated. Originals with the artwork go for a pretty penny so you have to decide if that's truly that important or whether having the music is.

Great sounding pressing!
This Music On Vinyl pressing is great! Very clear and rich sound. Records even come in anti-static inner sleeves.

Possedere The Infamous in formato LP non è solo una scelta da collezionisti, è un tributo a un album storico che ha definito il suono del rap hardcore degli anni '90. Prodigy e Havoc hanno creato un'atmosfera cupa e cinematografica che ancora oggi non ha rivali. Perché merita 5 stelle: Atmosfera Inimitabile: La produzione di Havoc è magistrale. Quei beat freddi, carichi di bassi e campionamenti sporchi trasportano l'ascoltatore direttamente tra i palazzi del Queensbridge. Su vinile, questa "oscurità" sonora acquista una profondità e una texture incredibili. Lirica Letale: Prodigy (R.I.P.) è qui al suo apice assoluto. Il suo stile asciutto e le sue rime gelide descrivono la realtà della strada senza filtri. Brani come "Shook Ones, Pt. II" e "Survival of the Fittest" sono inni immortali che ogni fan dell'hip-hop deve conoscere a memoria. Resa Sonora su Vinile: Ascoltare questo disco in analogico permette di cogliere tutte le sfumature delle batterie pesanti e dei loop ipnotici. È un suono "ruvido" che il digitale spesso appiattisce, mentre il vinile ne esalta la potenza. Un Pezzo di Storia: La copertina iconica con i volti dei due rapper è stupenda nel formato grande del vinile. È un oggetto che trasuda cultura Hip-Hop da ogni solco, un pilastro fondamentale per qualsiasi discoteca personale. In sintesi: Siamo davanti a uno degli album più influenti di sempre. Crudo, violento, poetico e maledettamente reale. Un acquisto obbligatorio per chiunque voglia capire cos'è il vero "Hardcore Rap". Un classico eterno.

Good sound with some classic tracks

アルバム一枚をじっくり楽しめます。サブスクやダウンロードのいいとこどりで聴くのはもったいないアルバムです。90sのヒップホップは本当に素晴らしいです。妥協なくしっかり作られたサウンドは何十年経っても聴けます。
