歌曲：   Illuminati

艺人：   Prodigy¹

音乐星级：   ★★★

所属专辑：   H.N.I.C. Part 2

发行年代：   2008

风格：   Hip² Hop³

介绍：   Mobb Deep是由来自纽约的两位天才绕舌手Havoc和Prodigy于1992年组建的以硬核说唱为主的绕舌二人组.两人在上高中时相识，1992年组队投身于绕舌事业，次年首张专辑Juvenile Hell发行，内容主要表现了贫穷，毒品交易以及帮派暴力，他们通过绕舌这一形式来表达了他们对这些事情的看法。这张专辑对当时的东海岸说唱乐产生了一些冲击，更让大家很惊奇的是，这张专辑的创作者竟然是两位未成年人。尽管这张专辑没有受到很大关注，但是仍然展示了两位少年绕舌手的实力。随后两人和Loud唱片签约，投身于新专辑的制作，1995年他们的第二张专辑，也是他们的成名之作The Infamous⁴发行。这张专辑成为东海岸硬核说唱的代表专辑之一。

他们的歌我觉得失去了往日的霸气，同样，这首"Illuminati"因为没有霸气可言，会有点懒洋洋的感觉，但是值得一听的就是它的旋律仍是很不错的。

歌词：

[talking: Fan]
Ohh, yo, ohh shit man, what up dunn?
Yo where've you been at man?
Yo we need you man
You gotta put out that knowledge
Kick that street knowledge G
Please man, you got that drugs
I need my fix of that dope
C'mon man, please man, you got it man, c'mon man

[Prodigy:]
Now the latest gun drive, jelly beans
GMT peyote, I know you feel me
P's song is a natural tripping me
My rhymes is so vivid, you start to see things
Way different, America's fiend
I was fast asleep, but now I'm wide awake
I was under the spell of Kangol and reserved notes
Religion and fashion, I used to be flashy
'Til I had a total recall, forgot what I've already knew
It took me 33 years for me to see the truth
Ever so clear I was too young
I couldn't articulate myself the right way son
But now let me break it down, pass it all around
This is not a theory, lift the spirits, see his spirit
They wanna put me in a straightjacket in a padded room
And tell the world there's 12 monkeys so they can be confused

[Chorus: x2]
Illuminati want my mind, soul and my body
Secret Society trying to keep their eye on me
But I'm a stay incogni' in places they can't find me
Make my moves strategically

[Prodigy:]
They say life is like Chess
But fuck that I'm tired of playing games with you kids
Ain't no time for playing, check the rhymes it's insane
I write it for the streets, for the hood⁵ inspiration
Inspire every party to map where it's poverty
I started with a Mobb but now I got an army
With soldiers and troopers
The TV and the radio scared the death of us
So we hit the YouTube up
Now I got millions of views
Now watch how many rappers follow what P do
Now I'm too hoody to conform to the program
I'm too much of a rebel for me to try to fit in
Nigga! It don't matter on the color of your skin
Right now you either positive or you negative
I got friends in high places, multiple races
And coaches on my side, all you got is paper

[Chorus x2]
[Fades to Raekwon the Chef talking]
