Mobb Deep VS Cypress Hill

Needs a poll. Gotta go with Mobb Deep on this one. Better track record and better albums.

Shook Ones Pt. II is one of the GOAT gangsta tracks.

"Rock you in ya face stab yo' brain with ya nosebone. You all alone in these street's cousin."



Havoc looks like Mayweather. Never noticed that till now.

Do you have stats to back that up? I'm pretty sure the Hill sold more records because of their Latin America market.

cypress hill has definitely more relevant for longer. they certainly sold more albums.
 
But if it wasn't for the Bronx, this rap shit probably never would be going on.
 
New York has got House of Pain motherfuckers. Worked with The Hill and Muggs. They have good songs and lyrics. I feel nervous saying that, but I think it is true.

I'll serve your ass like John McEnroe
If your girl steps up, I'm smacking the ho
Word to your moms I came to drop bombs
I got more rhymes than the Bible's got psalms

I'm the cream of the crop, I rise to the top
I never eat a pig 'cause a pig is a cop
Or better yet a terminator
Like Arnold Schwarzenegger
Trying to play me out like as if my name was Sega

I kicks the flavor, like Steven King writes horror

If I was a Jew then I'd light a menorah
I got rhymes for ya, excuse me senora
Are you a whore or are you a lady?
Is it Erica Boyer or Marcia Brady?
Let me know hon, the deed'll get done
Just assume the position, I'll take my rod
And then I'll go fishin', I'll get your river flowin'
I'm always in the knowin'
When it comes to givin' pleasure, I'm every woman's treasure
I came to work your body, so let me do my job
I've never been laid off, my rhymin' skill paid off
Cause now I'm makin' records, now I'm makin' tapes
Steady bustin' suckers in bunches like grapes
Makin' all the papes, scoopin' up the loot
Puttin' suckers on the run, pull my gun and then I shoot
I never been a front, I never a fraud
I gotta natural skill, for that I thank the Lord
Cause I feel blessed, I'm casually dressed
I always got my gun, but I never wear a vest
I'm quick on the draw like the horse named McGraw
From the cartoon boom sha lock lock boom


The House Of Pain is in full effect
Everybody in the place give full respect
If your girl's in the house keep the ho in check
And if I'm bustin' off caps, you better hit the deck
Steppin' on stage with the fly routines
I'm hemmin' up suckers like bell bottom jeans
I always switch trains in Jamaica, Queens
When I go to by the street to see my Aunt Ilene
Danny Boy's comin' with the Irish style
The money back guarantee, I make it worth your while
I'm layin' out fools like kitchen tile
You come around with a frown, and ya leave in a pile
Step back man, I ain't a black man
But everytime I grab the mike I rock a phat jam
Without the Slimfast, and if I skim past
You know I step up and get a ho with gym blast
I give her what she wants, even if she fronts
The Hill is down with the House, they got the philly blunts
Ya know we roll 'em up, and then we light 'em up
And then we puff them up and pass them
So Danny Boy blasts 'em
I got the shell-toed Adidas, with the fat strings
The Celtic crosses, and the claudor rings
The straight edges razor and the marther pump
You heard me shit clickin', now it's time to jump
Jump around just like a frog on a log
Fuck the Dukes because I like Boss Hogg
I'm hittin' home runs like my man Wade Boggs
And if you try to act stupid, I'm droppin' the dogs
 
That's what every dude from NY always says. As far as today goes thi, new York rap is dying

IMO the South killed hip hop years ago. There are still a few gems here and there but for the most part I still listen to the old stuff.
 
The Bronx as been hugely unsuccessful after rap's initial inception. That's why they want everyone to remember how they created rap and how if it wasn't for the Bronx blah blah. The Bronx is still eating off of Pun and KRS.
 
Man, loved me some Cypress Hill back when I was in middle school and high school. After Mobb Deep dropped their first album, I pretty much forgot about them for about 5 - 6 years I think.
 
CH probably sold more records. That's the extent of any claim to superiority. It's a lyrical mismatch, and Havoc's beats were the shit.

Yeah but Muggs beats were arguably better than Havoc's. He is definitely more versatile than Hav. Have you listened to any Cypress hill Records lately from front to back? And once again, P doesn't always rhyme.

These two albums cancel each other out in my opinion. Both outstanding albums.

Although I think production wise, Temple of Boom is a better album. Again its an opinion, however to say Hill doesn't come close to Mobb in album quality is crazy.
 
I've just never really like Cypress Hill that much so I guess Mobb Deep.
 
Mobb Deep.

Not even close.
 
Every Mobb Deep song I've actually listened to sounds like they're going to kick someone's ass. But, like tomorrow.
