Queensbridge, New York (1992 – present)
Mobb Deep, also known as The Infamous Mobb Deep AKA Poetical Profits is a hip-hop duo made up of Havoc and Prodigy of Mobb Deep. Both members are natives of Queensbridge, New York; located in Long Island City. They are perhaps most famous for their landmark album, The Infamous, and the accompanying hit single, Shook Ones Pt. II.
1992–1994: Early Career
Prodigy and Havoc met one another while attending the prestigious Graphic Arts High School in Manhattan. Coming from similar backgrounds, the duo broke into the rap game in 1992. Growing up in hostile environments that included the prevalence of poverty, drugs, and gang violence, Mobb Deep attempted to express their life experiences through rapping.circa 1992. Before Havoc and P were known as Mobb Deep they were a couple of teenaged rappers known as Poetical Profits. The world first heard of them via the Source’s Unsigned Hype column and this is the demo track that was quoted in that feature. The song would later see the light of day on their debut LP Juvenile Hell.
“Flavor 4 The Non Believers” (demo version) They released their first album, Juvenille Hell, in 1993. At a time when East Coast hip hop was dominated by the jazziness of A Tribe Called Quest and De La Soul, and the Afro-centric stylings of Brand Nubian and Public Enemy, their style of music eschewed the popular conscious hip hop of the time, and reflected the harsh climate of New York City in the late-1980s and early-1990s.

People bitch too much. Product of the 80's and HNIC 2 were two of the better albums of 2008. Havoc's solo had its moments. Mobb Deep isn't the same as 1996 but it sure the hell isn't wack now.

Why would you stay in the projects if you could afford to leave you fuckin idiot. Its just a line stop being a darsh and taking rap so serious. Now run a long and scream "hip hop is dead" somewhere.
