The Infamous Mobb Deep is one of the most legendary hip-hop acts/groups to come out of Queensbridge, New York. This is the second group to make the list and for obvious reasons as Havoc was known for his musical compositions and production while Prodigy was known for his lyrical content. The two are known for their hardcore gangsta content but later was able to become a mainstream act with the help of other production teams.
Their single 'Shook Ones Pt. II' is officially a hip-hop classic that will be played decades from now for younger generations to gain knowledge of the roots of hip-hop and allowed them to stand next to legendary New York hip-hop figures like the Notorious B.I.G, Jay Z, and Nas. Unfortunately, while battling sickle cell anemia, Prodigy passed away on June 20, 2017. He will forever be missed and recognized as one of the greatest to ever touch a mic.
