Prodigy of Mobb Deep dead at 42

[Hawaiian Punch]

Dog everybody in my circle hurting from this. I swear I spent the whole day reminiscing with nikkas about all these random moments in our life and how mobb was part of the soundtrack to it all. It just so bugged to me how music has this effect on all of us like that. It just gives this background color to it all. You identify who you are from it. Like I feel like any nikka from NY mid 90s we was all on that same vibe. P was by far one of the strongest voices to it. Dude was our voice brehs. That gritty street shyt..

Like to me he reached that rare moment in hip hop were your voice and lyrics reach this peak where everything you put out is fire. Like some lightning in a bottle type shyt. It's so crazy how just like athletes, rappers can hit this peak. Me personally that peak moment I felt like he hit was hell on earth. We can always debate that and I spent countless threads here arguing it. Just crazy man..

Diddy's fakkit ass was scurred..

P Is The Realest..fukk a 'was',he's still living in our hearts

 

[DeuceZ]

Listening to his interview on the Premium Pete Show from last year


Definitely took our legends for granted. I had been bumping a lot of Mobb Deep and Camron/Dipset the last couple months

I can't drive on the Belt without playing "Can't Complain."

One of my faves. P floated.

 

[DrexlersFade]

I hope so. I'd love for Hav to use this as inspiration and really go crazy making beats for everyone.

I don't know why but in the midst of my zoning out I was thinking since we lost both P's he should do a album with Da Rockness Monsta that shyt would be

 

[riddlerap]

just bumpin this in the whip.. shyt goes hard

 

[UserNameless]

Don't know if this has been posted but I'll post it anyway

The snares and hi hats and kicks from Hav and Tip farrrrr >>>>>>

 

[Easy-E]

[Easy-E]

Now, we all know this fukkin' classic record



I used to bump this, too




Damn, I'm realizing how much I loved Prodigy

Lemme post this, too

Shoutout to Big Boi



My Mobb record of course is Temp' Risin'

 

[Rob's al Ghul]

Remembering (way) back in the day, I made "Cradle to the Grave" my stadium intro music on NFL 2K5. Got me ridiculously hyped every time.

A few years ago I discovered the "Free Agents" album listening to Pandora. Borders on sacrilege, but I think I like this version's "Shook Ones" - a freestyle, at that - and "SotF" almost as much as the Infamous ones (even though they're much shorter). Dude had that gift of flow like not too many others.




Here's another favorite (SIAP)...set the tone for the whole track. That rawness.....



Man. RIP to the brother.

 

[head shots101]

Oh boy now the conspiracy theory clowns saying P got killed by the Illuminati

 

[KingJudah2]

dude was definitely murdered!

 

[Sonic Boom of the South]

This
Soulja slim
Odb
Biggie
And pac

Are the hardest rap deaths for me

Brah I remember listening to night time vultures over and over playing NBA Live 95 (I didn't get 96 and I loved 95 to death)


I remember when the source van was in Dallas the summer I was here with my sister
And they gave out the sampler bags that had "survival of the fittest" and I think "temperatures rising"
With the wutang joints on it

I remember watching New York Undercover and the episode with "blood sport" was played

I remember nikkas aggy as fukk when I said "Hell on Earth" was better than Biggie's shyt

I remember nikkas ready to fight when I said Prodigy was top 5

"Don't call Tasha"
"Narcotic"

Them nikkas had P along side G rap on some sick shyt

"Rotten apple"
"Mac 10"
"Catch body music"
"Can't complain"



So much more
