why it take so long?
Damn.
These niggas are fall off artists, homo thugs, shook halfway crooks, just about whatever you think since they disowned God and chose 50 as thier new savior
Yo BKBULLSHIT get ya facts straight nigga mobb deep wasn't in da studio when tru life broke in. The nigga on the dvd even said they weren't there. And son what has tru life done, he aint put out nothin like The Infamous, Hell On Earth, or Murda Muzik. And gettin more than a million off some mixtapes is good shit son.
lets be real, mobb deep reached their prime already, there really arent a whole lot of rap cats that last a lifetime in the game, and even less duos. lets free p and they need to make another run, not necessarily an album, at least a tape or two and fa sho some shows, thats where the money at anyway. not too many cats gettin gwap off album sales other than your big name artists, and if it dont work out for them, they need to bow out gracefully, bottom line, suing a dude for a milli off some royalties whose total profits probably didnt make that much is weak
Yeah I Peeped this joint in best buy, I was shook cuz it clearly had nothing to do either Hav or P, even the Art was funky,…this manager will get his ass chewed up in Court, you the Mobb Got that New Money to get them Jew-Jew-Jew-Jew-Unit lawyers….
And as fare as Mobb Deep goes, they still got it, I could care less about what y’all cats have to say,…I picked up The KUSH (fi-ya) & HNIC 2 (ether); both albums are hard, but P’s shit was hardbody fuck what y’all heard….it’s one of if not the Hottest album out this year thus far,….i’m sure That Nas will push this over
