Shook Ones Pt I sounds like the impending apocalypse, where the demons descend from above and the sky starts turning red. Shook Ones Pt II feels like the world post apocalypse where most of humanity has been eradicated. Both equalling haunting and visceral. Havoc was undeniable in terms of creating the darkest atmosphere in his production
Havoc is a genius. Very underrated, if rated at all. He produced all of his own songs, all of mobb deep songs, the majority of prodigies songs. He never skipped a beat! You just can't find any unpleasant beats that he's created. To top it off, he's underrated as an M.C. in my opinion as well.
Beats as good as part II, I don’t know if it’s just me but at the bit when he says “numerous ways that we choose to earn funds” and there’s a little “ooooohhhhh” before the beat drops again. Love it
Shook Ones Part One should be regarded as one of the top song ever made. Especially since it was made at 19 years old! That’s some Smithsonian level sh*t!
First time, I'm hearing this version. It actually isn't bad. Feels much more darker and somewhat, scarier than Part 2. I thinker it's harder and more raw as well. Part 2 has a catchy beat, that appealed to everyone,
One of the few rap songs that when I hear it, the hair on the back of my neck stands up...I literally get tears in my eyes...when I hear this and Part II, I think about where I was in my life, what I was doing...this shit was helping me get my head straight. Pure hip hop gold. Everlasting glory! 👏🏿💪🏿
I used to be such a west coast guy…now I worship at the alter of East coast..mob, Wu, biggie, and beasties. They beats and rhymes are so much more cerebral than west coast shit.
agreed...west coast is good for vibes, partying with bitches and casual cruising...but if u ever wanna get motivated to get hard shit done, up your testosterone or just feel like murdering, east is the direction
This beat is the essence of boom bap in my opinion. Minimalistic, subterranean atmosphere, filtered samples, basslines that sound like they're coming from an abyss, hard-hitting snares. I don't think anyone's made snares hit harder in their productions than Havoc. His technique is amazing. Absolutely the best music to listen to on a snowy night in the city at 3am.
I grew up riding my skateboard around town listening to this joint. After all these years, it still sends a cold shiver down my spine each time I listen to it. Edit: the sound of this beat is what I’ve always imagined the fear of walking the streets of Queens at night as a non-local would feel like.
@@Patch3dd esotericism itself is mystic and universal knowledge, an energy in the universe thats closer to science than we think. So gods and stuff doesn't speak for everyone
better than pt 2 in my opinion.. always has been. it has that dark new york/queensbridge vibe. i used to bang this shit so hard in highschool with a nautica windbreaker and timbs in mid summer.
The most violent of the violence of crimes we give life to if these queen bridge kids don’t like you we bring drama to your worst kind of enemies your first time we’ll be your last earth memories!!! . 🔥 🔥
Out of all the years I grew up on yalls music, how have I not heard part1!?!?? I've probably played part 2 like a million times over the years... got turned on to mobb deep at 16 years old.. in a way yall helped raise me... kno what I'm saying... God bless!!! R.i.p. Prodigy in Jesus Name
The most sinister, macabre Mortal Kombat ass beat I've ever heard. I said on the instrumental version video that it reminds me of Mortal Kombat trilogy.
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 RIP PRODIGY THE GREATEST STORYTELLER IN HIP HOP HISTORY + ONE OF THE GREATEST MC'S OF ALL THE TIME .. but this track was made before he blossomed into the GOAT

After hearing Part 2 countless times...I think part 1 is also a masterpiece...
Yeah I agree , the beat is so dark and grimey..
It's better If u ask me #ShookOnes
Both masterpieces but would say part 1 is way better part 2 overplayed now for me tbh
@@Quandingle03 totally agree
Part 2 hit different. There’s a reason why em put part 2 in 8 mile and not 1 just sayin
This beat is colder than a New York winter.
cradle to the grave too
Colder than an Edmonton winter homie

I cant argue...but Biggie is a favorite for me too.

Nas?
the prequel we all forgot
how is it even possible? in my opinion its way batter than the sequel
znaszlisiora? Nah even mobb deep used to confirm the sequel is better
The S2ad You smoking something if you think the sequel sounds better. This is what shook ones is suppose to sound like
I guess they went back to the lab on this one, and said we can make this harder. And boy did they ever on Part 2.
Yeah, cuz the sequel exploded
"...my first priority's to reach 21 breathing..." Prodigy, you made it twice as far, having lived until age 42. RIP...
I miss that guy
So many of my favorites gone too early. Biggie, Sean Price, DOOM, J Dilla and of course Prodigy…amongst others.

Havoc is one of the greats when it comes to beat composure....another of my favorite is bad meets evil-welcome 2 hell.sick beat
I'm telling you
@@Thatpart023 I didn't even know Havoc produced Welcome 2 Hell, wtf.
Had Jay Dilla ever colaborated with the Mobb? He would knew how to get the best out of these cats!
why would demons ever descend from the sky? If its the apocalypse demons will be slayed by Angels. Just saying. 🤷🏽♂️
Havoc is a genius. Very underrated, if rated at all. He produced all of his own songs, all of mobb deep songs, the majority of prodigies songs. He never skipped a beat! You just can't find any unpleasant beats that he's created. To top it off, he's underrated as an M.C. in my opinion as well.
He and Lord Infamous are the kings of making horror movie-esque dark beats. DJ U NEEK too.
He didn't produce all their songs, Alchemist produced some. QTip produced 1 on the cd
Appreciated worldwide.
I'm going to see him tonight in Montreal and I actually can't wait
Such an underrated track.

That's how I found this cold ass shit
Pun was amazing..wish he had been with us longer
its not sampled on "Capital Punishment" but on "Beware"

Part II is on another level as a track but Part I is so underrated its ridiculous.
I agree
Part 1 is what solidified them as the Infamous because they got dropped from the first label. They had to go back to Queens & rebuild.
part 1 is better
as much as I love this track, once you listen to part 2, that track is so catchy
@@eaglemotivation. agreed

Isn’t bad?? Understatement. I prefer it to part 2.
Holy shit i swear pt.1 and pt.2 are like fucking yin and yang.
This was Gotham City New York! Early 90s 🗽🗽🗽
It's dark man. Shit is Outworld from Mortal Kombat
Yup... now it's Croydon, literally, it was even filmed there!😂😂😂

When did you first hear this ? Back in 94? Or 96 ( when the released it on the HOE album)
I just discovered this, this is like the sickest beat ever
Facts
Check the Q Tip Queens freestyle over the beat also
Bossest rhymes ever. I remember buying this new on cassette being so impressed by their love of Guess and Structure which I already had plenty of lol
Your a lucky man. If you just found Mobb Deep you have a solid 3-4 Albums to go listen to!!!
SCORPIONs top 5 all time

The most meancing & sinister beat in HipHop.

BOTH ARE CLASSICS!!!! P Was on his shit through my teens, twenty's, and thirty's! Miss this cat! RIP P
Lowkey, this song feels darker than its sequel
Imagine THIS shook ones blew up in 1994 as the “Most evil beat in hip hop history”
Nah Natural Born killaz
shabazz the disciple - death be the penalty is the most evil IMO
Apostle’s Warning is grim too.
I genuinely thought part 1 was a myth 😭 glad to have finally listen to this masterpiece
I don't know if it's just me but this one is criminally underrated. Elite production w/ lyricism
Music unites the world. Respect and love for Mobb deep from Italy🖐️
Bella pe domenico
Ce lo sai
I dont like italy but you get a pass (i got robbed in italy)
This is better than part 2. The beat is something else 🔥
The beat is 100% better, but delivery on Havoc's verse was much worse worse than pt.2
you bugging.....all them straight fire!.... Remember this wasn't 2020.... Look at it in the perspective of those days!

Grimy, Boom Bap, Underground, Masterpiece……….. Word is bond.
AS WE CELEBRATE PRODIGY BIRTHDAY we take few moments to hear them lyrics there again 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
RIP prodigy. This brother did so much for me as a teen growing up in the 90’s in Durty Jersey.
I never understood why part 1 didn’t get the same exposure as part 2
Ifkr
I think the beat from part 2 probably has a lot to do with it! I'll be honest I prefer this 1, this is 🔥🔥
Unless you were in NY you probably didn't know part 1 existed. First time I ever heard of 4:16 Mobb Deep was the video for Pt. 2
