Still Shook

I've never been to interested in Mobb Deep. The Infamous is supposed to be good but it wasn't a priority to check out. Check the Technique interested me and then I listened to Shook Ones Pt II. I hadn't heard it for ages but this time it just blew me away. And this was one of the first tracks they'd ever produced themselves! It's powerful, menacing and evocative. I can see how the industry went from Shook Ones to where it is today but this is something completely different.



"I'm only nineteen but my mind is old
And when the things get for real my warm heart turns cold
Another n****a deceased, another story is told
It ain't nothin' really, ayo dun spark the phillie"
