[DISCUSSION] Mobb Deep - Hell on Earth (25 Years Later)

Posted: 19 Nov 2021 08:53 AM PST

Hell on Earth by Hip-Hop Duo Mobb Deep was released on November 19, 1996 as the follow-up to their breakthrough album The Infamous. Intended as a continuation to their previous record, Hell On Earth is entirely produced by the duo themselves and is their only album with them being the sole producers. This project has the duo experimenting more with their sound as it contains more soul samples and atmospheric sounds in comparison to their previous work. With guest appearances from Nas, Raekwon, and Method Man, the record helped solidify them as one of the most prominent East-Coast Hip-Hop Duos of the 90's.

The album peaked at #6 on the Billboard 200 and was their first no. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums Chart. It's two main singles Front Lines (Hell On Earth) and G.O.D. Pt. III did moderately well as they respectively peaked at #13 and #18 on the Billboard Hot Rap Tracks. It also contained the promotional single Drop a Gem on 'Em as a response to 2Pac's diss track Hit 'Em Up.

Since most of the album was recorded during the height of the East Coast-West Coast rivalry, many fans considered the darker songs to be subtle disses toward 2Pac and other West Coast emcees, but Prodigy sends shout-outs to a list of west coasts artists such as Snoop Dogg, Tha Dogg Pound, and Xzibit in the liner notes.

Background

In February 2006, Birdman and Lil Wayne released a mixtape, The Carter 2 Part 2: Like Father Like Son, hosted by DJ Khaled to promote the album. The mixtape had leftover tracks from Lil Wayne's album Tha Carter II and early versions of tracks that would later end up on Like Father, Like Son. According to the Cash Money's website, and an aggressive street campaign in Houston, the album was initially scheduled for release on September 26, 2006 but delays pushed the release back to October 31, 2006. In an interview, Lil Wayne said that "Army Gunz" might be the fourth single from the album. However, the song has not been released. In January 2009, Birdman said in an interview that a movie based on the title of the album and starring him and Wayne would be released in June 2009,[3]#cite_note-3) but it was never made.
