![]() I have it on good authority that Young MC was talking about busting some moves with his AK well before Hav and P made it out of their kiddie rapper days. Taking a simple programmed drum machine loop, Havoc and Prodigy spit some powerful boasts, and when you hear P say "Me and my man pioneered this violent n-a rap shit", you'll be inclined to believe him, even though it's clearly not true. The 2Pac diss song, which still sounds great today, even if Prodigy gets some of the facts about the Pac robbery incorrect. No rap album intro here, just Havoc proclaiming "You know how we did on the Infamous album, right? Aight, we gonna do it again, son."

Or, at least, you'll find his lines as quotable as Homer Simpson's. His descriptions of life in the ghetto, his constant paranoia, and violent imagery will haunt you for days. Prodigy also seems to have spent his Infamous royalties on getting his Masters in English, as his lyrical prowess steps the fuck up Hell On Earth contains the best lyrics from P that we will ever hear.
