Mobb Deep - Survival Of The Fittest (Loud Records - 1995)
Survival Of The Fittest de Mobb Deep est un morceau suffocant, comme d'ailleurs l'ensemble des trois premiers albums du duo (Juvenile Hell, The Infamous et Hell On Earth), acmé du rap hardcore new-yorkais des années 90. Leur impact sur le son global du hip-hop à cette époque fût énorme et on ne compte plus les albums où les producteurs ont essayé de reproduire les productions sans concessions de Havoc (beaucoup aidé par Q-Tip). Le morceau est genial par son minimalisme: une boucle de piano piquée à l'introduction d'un morceau de jazz ("Skylark" par Al Cohn And The Betty Harris Trio) enrichie de samples de quelques mesures de cuivres récupérées au Kashmere Stage Band et un beat énorme programmé par Q-Tip.
Le maxi à l'avantage d'offrir un remix complétement différent, beaucoup plus doux, avec un break de batterie récupéré sur The Mixed Up Cut de Clyde McPhatter, des choeurs de Crytal Johnson et une boucle soul samplé chez Al Wilson. Pas de changement des textes par contre, que Havoc et Prodigy enchainent avec leur diction "ligne claire" pour décrire sans concession ni glorification la vie des afro-américains dans les ghettos.
Pour la petite histoire, le duo, loin d'avoir gagné ses médailles de gangsta rap dans la rue ou en prison, s'est rencontré dans une école d'art de Manhattan, la High School of Art And Design, pépinière d'artistes de talent.
