I was reading this mobb deep interview just now and it's so crazy on the stuff you pick up on. Read everything, but Peep the part in bold. Crazy how they both died under similar circumstances :wow:



“Hip-hop is our therapy” - Mobb Deep interviewed - Electronic Beats
PRODIGY: I definitely learned a lot of discipline from my grandfather, man. He used to sit up all night writing sheet music and writing lyrics to songs. I could remember when I was, like, five years old, sitting on his lap while he was writing music, smoking his pipe. That’s all he used to do every day and all night: write music and watch the Mets play baseball. Oh yeah, and play golf. He also had all these tour posters all over his wall from Russia and Germany and all over the world. Growing up seeing all that and going to his shows when I was young, going into the Blue Note in Manhattan and seeing his albums definitely inspired me musically, just seeing how he did it. But it wasn’t until later that I realized who he really was, how famous. I ain’t know, I was too young.

When I got older, people were like, “Yo, your grandfather, he’s ill . . .” That’s when I really learned to appreciate it. And you know, he died on tour in his hotel room in his sleep, which was kind of crazy. But also New York is an ill place with ill music. My grandfather’s generation was when jazz was really happening all over the world, then my parents generation was doo-wop, and then the next generation was hip-hop.


Both musicians who died while on tour... :mjcry:


Edit:

He even shytted on the Coli too:


PRODIGY: People are so sedated with entertainment. That’s how the Romans used to do it. That was the purpose of the Coliseum: to keep people’s minds occupied with sports and entertainment while they were changing the laws and the monetary system...That was the purpose: to keep people not thinking. If you read history, they even admitted it.

So what’s the modern day Coliseum?

PRODIGY: Movies, Internet, cars, jewelry, fashion, video games, music . . .

:wow:
