Mobb Deep

And then we started introducing guests.

Mobb Deep was on it, Q-Tip was on the song.

The entire Hot 97 staff, Scribble, Ed Lover, Angie Martinez, they were all on the song.

We kept having new guests every year, which kept it alive, kept it fresh.

Primarily, we were all excited because one, I was like, oh, this is where the lyricists are, because this is happening at a time when like the chronic has come out and and yes, I mean, it's definitely Biggie.

It's definitely Mobb Deep.

It's definitely Wu Tang, which I was always excited about Wu Tang.

You know, there's good shit happening, but there's definitely a kind of shift in in hip hop no longer being underground of the mainstreaming of hip hop.

What are you niggas

got sickle cell or something? What are you niggas got sickle cell or something? It didn't even feel like a beef because when he put out Hit Em Up, I didn't even know Mobb Deep was talking about him.

I didn't listen to Mobb Deep like that.

So for him to just be like, Mobb Deep, you little motherfuckers.

Hey, buddy, you got sickle cell or something?

I honestly thought Mobb Deep was a kids group, like fucking crisscross.

And he was just looking over at him like,

you little motherfuckers.

At the heels of dropping their highly anticipated joint project Heavy is the Crown, Anderson, Pac and Cordae stopped by Power 106 in Los Angeles for Just Incredible's legendary freestyle series.

Taking on Havok's iconic deck-slapping instrumental from Mobb Deep's 1999 masterpiece, CryStorm delivered an absolute masterclass in live rap chemistry.

Trading bars back and forth with effortless back-and-forth end-offs, they proved that their musical synergy extends far beyond polished album tracks and straight into rough, unscripted freestyle dominance.

Musically, tackling Evoque's dark driving bass line and eerie keys is not an easy feat, but both artists locked into the pocket immediately.

over on youtube and x and rap forums like reddit hip hop ads are calling this one one of the absolute best radio freestyles of the year the online sentiment is overwhelming are overwhelmingly positive, with fans celebrating how naturally their styles complement each other and praising their respect for Golden Era East Coast production while keeping the energy completely fresh.

So, here is what I want to know.

Does seeing Anderson .Paak and Cordae rip through Mobb Deep's Quiet Storm make Heavy is the Crown an instant candidate for Rap Album of the Year? Or were you hoping to hear them tackle a different classic instrumental? You can check out the full freestyle on Power 106 Los Angeles YouTube channel.

And that's the tea on this one.

And all of you at home, I've decided, or wherever you are watching, I've decided that you should be known as the Shook Ones.

So it's a little Mobb Deep reference.

30

seconds into the show.
