The duo's finest body of work since their 1995 masterpiece, The Infamous. [28 Apr 2006, p.135]
-
80Although there remains a sheen throughout, the body of the set showcases the Mobb in darker, more familiar territory. [Apr 2006, p.150]
-
75Instead of the poppy makeover many anticipated, the Mobb's seventh album is a curious blend of gunz-money anthems, G-Unit-ized sex romps, and visions of the great beyond.
-
70Their new boss's hooks are often slicke rand less arresting than the minor-key grit they thrive on. [Jun 2006, p.142]
-
In terms of their long career of certified bangers it comes as a slight disappointment.
-
60At best this sees them hold their own. [Jul 2006, p.101]
-
The cash influx hasn't reformed these B-boys. [4 May 2006, p.57]
-
60Not surprisingly, the resulting cameo-plugged record sounds more like a G-Unit album than an Infamous one.
-
60Mobb Deep often sounds like a guest at its own party.
-
The flashes of brilliance that were once routinely delivered by Havoc and Prodigy are few and fleeting here.
-
50If Mobb Deep didn't have their own history, their own discography, and their own mythos, contributions from 50 and friends wouldn't be a hindrance. But here, those contributions become intrusions that keep the Mobb from telling their own stories, flashing their own green, getting their own groupies.
-
46Too much of Blood Money represents something sad and fascinating-- two demons domesticated, two artists who have willfully transformed themselves into hucksters.
-
42The duo's seventh album sees an invasion of unnecessary guest stars, such as Lloyd Banks and Yayo, and a disappointing lyrical turn that celebrates monotonous Detroit staples like guns, cash and bumps.
-
40The album is a 60 minute blur, and while there are brief moments of clarity there's just nothing special about Blood Money.
-
It takes nearly 13 cuts in on the new, G-approved Blood Money before you hear anything that sounds like a real Mobb Deep record.
-
Most of this album is startlingly uninspired; no-frills rhymes were once this duo's main weapon; now they are its main liability. [1 May 2006]
-
It's hard to imagine another album in 2006 doing a worse job of justifying its existence than Blood Money.
