As many East Coast hip hop heads know, this past week carries special significance for the legendary hardcore duo Mobb Deep. Last Tuesday marked the 22nd anniversary of The Infamous, an archetype of grimy 1990's New York hip hop. For the latest episode of "Open Space," Prodigy of Mobb Deep stopped by MASS APPEAL to talk about how important The Infamous really was; especially after Mobb Deep's not-so-stellar debut album, Juvenile Hell.
By focusing heavily on production, Prodigy and Havoc crafted the signature sound for which Mobb Deep is known. "The lifestyle that we were living, the lifestyle that we grew up in, the beats just naturally came out like some dark, sinister-sounding, shit," Prodigy added. "The lyrics were easy after that because the beats pulled the lyrics out of me."
Thankfully for Mobb Deep, this reinvention of their sound fared well, commercially and critically. The Infamous was certified Gold just two months after its release and remains one of the most revered albums in hip hop today.
Mass Appeal: Tell us about the making of The Infamous
Prodigy: When Juvenile Hell first came out it didn't do well. We were just learning how to make beats. We was young kids. We didn't really know what we was doing. Right around the time the album came out, Nas dropped Illmatic. It was just an incredible work of art. Sonically, lyrically, everything. It made us look at ourselves like, 'What the fuck is we doing?' Listening to a masterpiece this kid just made and we're with him every day. We didn't tell our story correctly and Nas, with Illmatic, helped us to realize that. So we was like, 'Yo, you know what? We gotta come correct, dawg. We gotta really dig deep and tell people who we are. Share your pain, your fears ... everything with the people. Then they'll resonate with it. We better than what we did,' And we was like, 'We ain't gon' get another chance after this. If we flop again it's over.' We regrouped, went in the crib ... mad [beer], mad weed and started grinding making beats.

DMX has taken a big step towards getting sober by checking himself into a rehab facility, according to TMZ.
As we previously reported, the 46-year old rapper, born Earl Simmons, caused concern for his inner circle when he suddenly cancelled three concerts this week, citing a "medical emergency."
"It is important right now that he take some time off to focus on his health so that he can be a better father, friend and entertainer," X's manager, Pat Gallo, said in a statement. "We are eternally grateful for the outpouring of concern and support that has poured in. We ask that you please keep X in your prayers as he embraces your support."
We send our best wishes out to Dark Man X as he deals with this latest health crisis.

What was billed as a "luxury music weekend" ended before it could begin as the inaugural Fyre Festival completely flopped.
The event, which was held on a private island in the Bahamas, was the brainchild of Ja Rule and tech entrepreneur Billy McFarland.
Guests were promised an opulent experience with fine dining and first class amenities, but were greeted Thursday, April 27 by "soggy tents, bad food and general disappointment verging on panic," according to the New York Times.
Promised performances by Lil Yachty, Migos, G.O.O.D. Music, Major Lazer and Blink 182 never came to fruition.

“We are extremely disappointed in the way the events unfolded yesterday with the Fyre Festival. We offer a heartfelt apology to all who traveled to our country for this event," the Bahamas Ministry of Tourism said in a statement on Friday.
Organizers of the event were apologetic in their statement.
“Fyre Festival set out to provide a once-in-a-lifetime musical experience on the Islands of the Exumas. Due to circumstances out of our control, the physical infrastructure was not in place on time and we are unable to fulfill on that vision safely and enjoyably for our guests. At this time, we are working tirelessly to get flights scheduled and get everyone off of Great Exuma and home safely as quickly as we can. We are working to place everyone on complimentary charters back to Miami today; this process has commenced and the comfort and safety of our guests is our top priority.”
The event has since been postponed indefinitely.

Troy Ave has made it quite clear that he has severed ties with former BSB Records recording artist Young Lito.
At the center of their beef is the May 2016 shooting at Irving Plaza in New York City. Ronald "BSB Banga" McPhatter was killed.
Troy was wounded in both legs and says Lito didn't offer any help during the ordeal, leaving him and Banga on their own.
Here's some extended footage from that night that allegedly shows Lito hiding during the shooting, then exiting with Troy and Banga still in the building.
