    Ya bugging this isn't even the correct album cover. Mobb Deep redefine the streets. This album is a classic.

    The Infamous is by far one of the best Hip-hop albums of all time. Every track tackles a new street subject with amazing lyricism and storytelling. The features are all amazing. The instrumental is so grimy and dark which perfectly combines with Prodigy and Havoc's bars. This is one of the only albums that can compete with Illmatic and in my opinion it even surpasses it. Overall perfect album

    The new Infamous is good enough, another in the sting of solid but unremarkable rehashes of the original formula that both members have been trickling out for years now. [May 2014, p.74]

    The Infamous Mobb Deep is an enjoyable journey for long time fans of the group, but for newcomers it's a hefty two hour plus tome that can't be taken in one sitting.

    The duo's mean, scrappy eighth album is the first to truly embrace their underdog status, wrapping itself in the low-fi, Walkman-ready vibe that has dominated the best of founding members Prodigy's and Havoc's solo work on indie labels.
