The 100 Best Rap Albums of All Time – Warungku Terkini
It’s possible that no one, living or dead, has ever been better at starting and ending rap verses than Prodigy. “There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from”; “To all my peoples locked down, coming back to life”; “I break bread, ribs, hundred-dollar bills”; “The moral of the story is easy to figure out/A lesson that you can’t live without.” He could be almost shockingly cold-blooded—his opening verse on “Shook Ones, Part II,” one of the dozen or so most indispensable rap songs ever made, is essentially an extended threat. But these perfect, epigrammatic fragments almost always communicate some sort of longing, if not for a better life, then for a more convincingly stoic face to wear through it.
So The Infamous goes beyond rote reportage. No, P wasn’t technically from Queensbridge, but he was unmistakably of it; the hookup-turned-stickup odyssey from “Trife Life” is structured like a parable, because at its core it is. The work he, Havoc, and Q-Tip (who took a liking to the kids and oversaw the album, tightening it musically and insulating it from label meddling) do behind the boards evokes, well, hell. Havoc’s older brother, on the run from the police, hangs over the album like a specter; a song comprised of letters sent to him in hiding (P, slyly: “Hold your head, wherever you’re at”) is over the album’s brightest and warmest beat. And for all the friends and friends-of-friends who have snuck their way onto albums with rhymes they’ve been workshopping for years, none are quite as potent as the one Big Noyd offers, a capella, before “Give Up the Goods (Just Step).” It begins: “Sometimes I wish I had three different faces/I’m going to court for three cases, in three places.” You can hear the tiny, syncopated pauses, meted out so the syllables land just so.
More than 15 years after The Infamous was released, one of the longest-running games of competitive sample-spotting was finally resolved: The source for the bassline from “Shook Ones,” which had been unidentifiable for years, was in fact not a bassline at all, but the piano from a Herbie Hancock record. And yet the beat is still built on legend. For decades, the idea has persisted that the hi-hats were in fact the sound of the stove in Havoc’s mother’s Queensbridge apartment flickering awake. In 2023, he went on record, clarifying that it was from one of his regular drum kits. But he understood the utility. “You know when a myth take a life of its own?” he asked. You don’t want to dispel things for people, he explained. “I be like, ‘Alright, fuck it. Yeah, it’s from the stove.’” –Paul A. Thompson
