(1999)"Hell on Earth" is a 1996 album by hip-hop group
Mobb Deep . It was released a year and a half after its previous album, "The Infamous ". The album is largely a continuation of the style pioneered on its previous album. The entire album was produced by Havoc, who also rhymes on the album with Prodigy. The second track, “Drop a Gem on 'Em ,” is a response to 2Pac's feud with the group, recorded while he was still alive. The song is one of the most acclaimed in the album, along with "G.O.D. Pt. III " and "Hell on Earth (Front Lines) ." "Hell on Earth" is considered by many die-hard fans and hip-hop heads to be the duo's best album because of its dark, hardcore tone. The album was included in Q Magazine's 50 Heaviest Albums of All Time.Guest appearances include
Nas ,Raekwon ,Method Man , and frequent collaboratorBig Noyd . The album, one of the earliestenhanced CD s, also contains an extra track (“In the Long Run”) that must be unlocked through the use of a computer.Track listing (07863-66992)
