Mobb never leaves the rotation but today listening to them felt really different. This is the special part of being a fan is when you grow with artist and your able to look back on there great work.

My uncle used to pick me up from school bumping this album back when my fam lived at my grandma's house. LL Cool J was the only rapper I knew of at the time(I was like 5) so I thought this was him.

Temperature's Rising was on repeat all throughout that school year.

I remember when I first got into hiphop heavy at around 13 and I finally revisited this album and rediscovered that song

Crazy how people forget just how unstoppable Prodigy was around that time, all the way through their next album. When I was a kid I thought Ice Cube was the hardest dude out. Like I seriously thought dude would kill me if I bootlegged his shyt. Then a few years Prodigy had young me even more shook. That quiet shooter steez.

Prodigy 95-2000




I also don't blame P for "Falling Off". His disease really got bad during the "Takeover" Drama. I honestly feel P hasn't been the same Emcee since the 1st "H.N.I.C." but something about that 5 year period. I think it was the competition from WU and Biggie and just being in the East during that time. This is what seperates the 90's from today. What's the Competition? Nobody is really pushing each other to make better music or better album. Prodigy had so many rappers dropping great music and albums over his shoulder, he had to come with it. P just had so much fire:

So much truth. I remember when the Control verse dropped and everyone was talking about how "real rap" was back and Kendrick had everyone so shook they'd have to up their pen game. But a few months passed and we were back to wack albums, dudes bragging about writing songs in less than 30 minutes, etc. The difference is that a lot of dudes today are just focused on that next big single, going gold, etc. Prodigy wasn't sitting around thinking damn, I hope this sells. Nah he was like ok, Raekwon is getting busy on the mic...I gotta match that.

Nas, Big, Meth, Rae, Prodigy....those dudes were just on another level at the time. Everyone was chasing that. Then later Jay, Pun, and some other dudes got their name into the conversation. I remember my older cousins arguing for hours about albums. Not in a fanbody/stan way either. That shyt was like a jedi council meeting or some shyt.

It's his voice man...Prodigy was born to rap about that grimy street shyt. He sounded like a killer

By the way - use your free time on a Friday morning making a thread about the Infamous and then forget to grab the CD for the car and drive around for 3 hours listening to Lupe Fiasco's "Titties and Youth" brehs.
