Mobb Deep Says Puff Daddy Had Group Change Its Original Name 'Poetical Prophets'

[Thatrogueassdiaz]

GREAT FIND! +Rep

Why do you guys think Puff is randomly in the "Survival of the Fittest" Video? Crazy, Puffy was trying to sign Mobb Deep and Tupac at one time. Poetic Prophets isn't terrible just not as hard as Mobb Deep. Like NaS is must more doper than Kid Wave. Biggie Smalls/Notorious B.I.G. is doper than his 1st rap name, MC Qwest. Of course Tupac's first name was MC New York.

Good stuff

So did Puff get the name from South Central Cartel?

?

5'3 16 year olds? Damn these nikkas dwarfs or something?

Glad I wasn't the only one who noticed that LOL. I was 5'8" at 16

Nas would have just come out with Nastradamus a few years earlier ....that album has bad boy struggle-to-fit-in written all over it

Agreed. Nastradamus does sound like a bad boy album

Puff was always great at taking a diamond in the rough and applying those final touches to it. I don't know if anyone in hip-hop comes close in that regard.

DR DRE

DR DRE

Nope. Damn near everyone who blew with Dre was a sureshot. If you heard Em or 50 right before he signed them, you knew. The first time you heard Snoop, you knew. D.O:C was another sureshot, dude was cold as hell he just needed some good beats.
He couldn't do anything with Hittman, Bishop Lamont, Knocturnal, Last Emp, Rakim, Eve, etc. Couldn't get Game off the ground until they put him with G-Unit and 50 wrote some songs.
He has a different type of talent than Puff. Dre's a musical mastermind, but Puff really groomed talent for success.

[iFightSeagullsForBread]

Crazy how these tracks are more upbeat compared to the rest of the infamous, but yet they're still riddled with the harsh realities of life in the streets.

First off X was a FAR better emcee than Sheek...and at that time...better than Styles too...and I been feeling like Styles been the best lox member since like 02...but at the time the only one really giving X a run for his money was Jada..I can't even believe u even questioning this...was u around at that time?..do u remember the Freestyles X used to do?..do u only remember X from his 3rd album or some shyt cause u actin brand new as fukk...most nikkas THEN..didn't think the Lox was better than X...that's a fact...

this is why I hate to have these type of debates because nikkaz skim through skip through post and read what they want to read & ignore what they want to ignore -i originally said (DMX was a dope artist) this but in my humble opinion he's not an complete mc
he's basically a one dimensional mc he has one flow one cadence etc. etc. basically that hard-core passionate aggressive tone while the lox are more diverse and versatile
now obviously DMX became a superstar while the lox became a solid group... but at the end the day the diverse versatile artist will usually have a long career span

finally i aint no new nikka imma old nikka
and i aint never ever ever heard nikkaz say X was some lyrical mc
