4. Mobb DeepAmerikaz Nightmare

Mobb Deep man. Mobb Deep is in my car now. I was listening to that album on the way here. I’ve been listening to that album in my car, consistently, for the past two years. If you was to get in my car now it might come on and if you met me eight months ago and got in my car you’d hear it. It’s just in there. Standard. Because I’ve got a disc changer for CDs and it just goes around and around. Only certain albums can stay in there. There’s certain ones that have to come out but Mobb Deep is the only one out of all these albums we’re gonna talk about that is actually in the car, and it’s the real CD, the real album. The physical, official CD.
