So just cuz I think Mobb is one of the greatest on the East scene, doesn't mean that should matter to you.

They've definitely released some albums that every hip hop fan should hear. And they definitely have incredible skill. Underestimating them is foolish. For those of us who love them, they seem like an impossible group to overlook, but I really don't think they necessarily go down easy for every rap fan.
But I think their rhymes are sick, and their beats are fucking ill. They wax a bit philosophical from time to time, and I like that too.
