Blood Money provides
G-Unit with the opportunity to attach themselves to the legacy of
Mobb Deep, and it gives
Mobb Deep the chance to connect with a younger set of
rap fans. Both groups take full advantage. The
G-Unit stamp is all over the album, from the packaging to the mostly self-contained content --
50 Cent drops in on five tracks, while
Young Buck,
Tony Yayo, and
Lloyd Banks also guest. The album alternately sounds like a proper
Mobb Deep album and a
Mobb Deep album hosted (and occasionally overrun) by
G-Unit, and neither camp is close to operating at full strength. The best example of the alliance's negative effect on the headliners is
"Give It to Me," a rote
"Candy Shop" knockoff in which
Prodigy only fuels the argument that he has slipped as a lyricist: "I'm tired of finger-f*cking this phone/Phone calls bore me, you got me horny."
Havoc (six tracks),
Alchemist (
"The Infamous"), and
Sha Money XL and
Ky Miller (
"Put Em in Their Place") do come up with some productions worthy of
Mobb Deep's old standard.
