No mention of Love In Love Out? Actually, I went back to see if it was nearly as good as I remembered, it's like a really bitch remake of Ether. He actually reuses several of Nas's lines against Jay and pretends to take this "I'm bigger than you" role, while whining about all kinds of pathetic shit. Weird song. 2. You're giving Episodes short shrift. Hav's production on there is as good as it ever would get and virtually every song has an Apostle's Warning-grade verse from Prodigy. Even on Infamous Mobb when he's just kinda half-assing, he still goes "we explode like supernovas, implode your whole sculpture." Recognize And Realize Pt. 2 is easily a top 20 Mobb Deep song, as fierce as the competition is - you know, I almost put the thing over Murda Muzik. Granted it's only 8 songs, 7 if you count Usual Suspect once, and one of them sucks, but the other six... shit. 1. No mention of Love In Love Out?
