mobbdeep1.jpgQueens hip-hop duo Mobb Deep will be riding New York City’s subways all week as they promote their upcoming G-Unit debut Blood Money. They will be most active in the afternoon after school lets out, at which time they will be walking around popular subway stops, signing autographs. Yesterday (April 24), Havoc and Prodigy rode into Brooklyn and walked around the area surrounding the Broadway Junction subway stop, meeting and greeting fans. Today (Tuesday) they will be in the Bronx; Thursday they will be in Harlem; and Friday they will head to Queens.

    hope this album sells because this is arguebly outside of outcast the hardest but the most underrated and the best group of all-time and hope they do well since juvenile hell to amerikka’s nightmare this is the best they come and people betta get this album because this is classic hardcore mobb deep you’ll never see this music since wu-tang or nwa mobb deep is the only music you’ll never hear ever again because this music they make is from themselves go mobb do your thing

    Good look by doing that. That shows that they can still go back to the hood. First Game said 50 can’t go back to the hood, but in dec he walked through queens and took the whole hood with him. Domonation said that 50 ain’t a soft nigga in beef 3. The mobb needed this to show they still got love for the hood. Go get that album Next tuesday.

  • Brooklyn Love

    Ha ha that’s what’s up, rappers should do that shit on the reg.

    P.S. better wear a vest,on second thought make it two (ya’ll niggas look hungry)protect your frame.

  • blackman

    That’s a cool idea because a lot of fans never get to see the artist.

    Ps it’s funny how niggas hate on mobb deep so much now that they are signed to g-unit records. They have been in the game for over 10 years and putting down hot shit.

  • yo momma’s man

    why everyone think that its a promo stunt they dont need promo they down with g-unit now i rather hear this then that simple downsouth lean with it bull shit

  • T. Okes

    eyo famz, these dudes is lame as hell, i got to admit they first 3 albums was crack, but they fell off fast and hard, its a shame that they even got down with 50, after he was takin jabs at them for years,they even got g-unit tats, now thats major dyck rydin on they part, but regardless i heard the album already, its ight, but not they best work, but not they worst, too many lovey dovey joints and not enough raw mobb classics

  • Wolf Dawg

    Why does everybody say that new Mobb Deep is filled wit “Lovey Dovey” cuts? It got one cut wit Mary J. Blige and that’s it!!! And it’s hot as Hell!!! Why when the Mobb do it, it’s soft, but when your favorite rapper do it, “everybody gotta have a cut for da ladies”?

  • RAMMY

    Thats pretty brave of them. Considering they could get shot or somethin. Most rappers hide in their crib and don’t come out.
