Last question, can you talk a little about Prodigy and his passing? How it has affected your camp of friends? I know Alchemist and you were really close to him.
Ev: Yea... I think it's been very surreal for everybody. If you want my honesty, I think it's still really hard for us to even accept. Let's not forget to remind ourselves that in his prime, on his A game, at the best point of his career, he was un-f*ck-with-able. You know what I mean? To me, that's a top five MC. So, when you've made an impact like that, it does a weird thing to your mind. The same thing happens with DJ AM, who was my good friend. It becomes surreal. You've made such an impact on peoples lives, it's like he's still here. You know, they're not seen but the energy and what's left is still here.
Honestly, I haven't had time to grieve for Prodigy yet. I don't know why. Maybe it's because I didn't go to the funeral, maybe there wasn't closure on it, I don't know. It just hasn't struck me and I know it will. Those things happen at odd times, you never know. I can be honest and say the last of it is that Prodigy was my friend and he was my real friend, but he was Alchemist's like a real-real friend. So, that could be why also. I knew him, but not as well as some of his real friends do, so they are probably hurting on a whole different level.
I do have unreleased music with Prodigy that I had made a few weeks before he passed, which is so scary. We went to Europe, we said peace, we did a song together, we listened to it together at my house and then that's it. Now, it's just sitting on my computer. I'm a little unsure what to do with it. I'm sure I'll find the right thing and go through the proper channels when it's time to do that.
