BLOOD MONEY marks the seventh release by Havoc and Prodigy, a.k.a. Mobb Deep. Hailing from New York City's notorious Queens Bridge Projects, the Mobb signed to G-Unit Records for their 2006 release, a returned favor of sorts from mega-star and label honcho 50 Cent for the influence the duo surely had on him.
Not just a G-Unit album in label name only, BLOOD MONEY features crew members Lloyd Banks ("You Can't Get With This"), Young Buck ("Give It To Me"), Tony Yayo ("Night Rider"), and 50 Cent himself ("Pearly Gates" and "Creep") flowing over the Mobb's darkly aggressive and deeply mesmerizing signature sound. BLOOD MONEY also represents the first instance of the duo's use of outsider producers. Not to worry, though: the list includes heavy hitters like Sha Money XL, The Alchemist, and the heaviest hitter of all, Dr. Dre, all whom approach the Deep sound with respect and a deft touch. These new associations ensure that Mobb Deep will reach a broader audience without sullying the duo's teflon reputation.

Rolling Stone (p.57) - 3 stars out of 5 -- "Eleven years after their classic second LP, THE INFAMOUS, a helping hand from Curtis Jackson has brought Mobb Deep back." Entertainment Weekly (p.135) - "[G]roup members Havoc and Prodigy remain true to their dark, gritty, and often socially irresponsible roots." -- Grade: A- Vibe (p.149) - 4 discs out of 5 -- "Although there remains a sheen throughout, the body of the set showcases the Mobb in darker, more familiar territory....Brash horns and ticking drums scream G Unit music, but Hav and P ably ride the aggressive composition."

Blood Money 2006 From Juvenile Hell to Amerikaz Nightmare, Mobb Deep 's trademark is their dark flow and lyrical acid spitting. Here, however, this album is too commercial and that's because of G-Unit's label. I am a fan of G-Unit and Mobb Deep, but I would turn more to Mobb Deep. At least they came up with The Crack Is Safe three years later. Submitted by Kevin (Piedmont, SC, USA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
Mobb still got it- But.....! iT NOT A BAD cd really! Though that whole Gunit collaboration kills the whole MOBB AURA! im a real fan -got all original CDs -so im saying to the Mobb- just give us another Hell on Earth cd next time, forget clubbing,vibing and commercial nonesense- give us back the hood. Ima aways stay true to the Mobb - but..the streets is watchin'.One - sycosyd- Johannesburg Submitted by syd (Johannesburg, RSA) Was This Review Helpful? YesNo
TOO MUCH 50 AND G-UNIT ON IT Thats my only problem with this cd is there are way too many songs with 50 snitch and the rest of g-unit. The other thing I have too say is Tony Yayo should not be a guest on any1s song that guy is extremely HORRIBLE he ruined that song "click click".Other then that this is a great cd the best song on it is "put em in their place".

it might be the worst album of 06'....
see Nas 'Hip Hop Is Dead', Jeezy's album, etc....it's some of the worst hip hop to come out this year. Let's be real. Not to mention Mobb Deep totally sold out. I've lost all respect for them, they're wack. Anyone that joins 50's camp is losing points with me. At least Cormega's still holding down Queens.
