Hell on Earth is a 1996 album by hip-hop group Mobb Deep. It was released a year and a half after its previous album, The Infamous. The album is largely a continuation of the style pioneered on its previous album. The entire album was produced by Havoc, who also rhymes on the album with Prodigy. The second track, “Drop a Gem on 'Em,” is a response to 2Pac's feud with the group, recorded while he was still alive. The song is one of the most acclaimed in the album, along with "G.O.D. Pt. III" and "Hell on Earth (Front Lines)." Hell on Earth is considered by many die-hard fans and hip-hop heads to be the duo's best album because of its dark, hardcore tone.

Guest appearances include Nas, Raekwon, Method Man, and frequent collaborator Big Noyd. The album, one of the earliest enhanced CDs, also contains an extra track (“In the Long Run”) that must be unlocked through the use of a computer.
