  1. Mobb Deep often sounds like a guest at its own party.
  2. Rolling Stone

    The cash influx hasn't reformed these B-boys. [4 May 2006, p.57]
  3. Not surprisingly, the resulting cameo-plugged record sounds more like a G-Unit album than an Infamous one.
  4. Uncut
    60
    At best this sees them hold their own. [Jul 2006, p.101]
  5. If 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.
  6. The flashes of brilliance that were once routinely delivered by Havoc and Prodigy are few and fleeting here.
  7. Too much of Blood Money represents something sad and fascinating-- two demons domesticated, two artists who have willfully transformed themselves into hucksters.
  8. The 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.
  9. The album is a 60 minute blur, and while there are brief moments of clarity there's just nothing special about Blood Money.
