Prodigy of Mobb Deep dead at 42

[Hawaiian Punch]

Al looks like he been living rough on hard drugs.

On vice you see him on the 'fukk that's delicious' show with Action Bronson. Dude is burned out from smoking so much. Al stay with a joint in his hand and look like he stays inside a lot. It's like his purpose on that show is to smoke and cough

The uncensored version above features scenery from the projects, Prodigy wearing a bulletproof vest, trigger fingers, and Puffy and Nas have cameos. None of that is featured in the version below.

Wow that's weird they go through all that trouble to take out images of a bullet proof vest only to still show a fiend smoking that crill rock

I was thinking that's the first picture I've seen of him where he's looking his age.
He's gonna be 40 this year so I wouldn't expect him to look young.

I feel like I've come full circle in this thread. Prior to his death I felt like I knew prodigy the artist, but now after reflecting on all this info I feel like I better know prodigy the person. All of us will die but not all of us will die doing what we loved.

In a way it's like prodigy woulda died regardless from his sickle cell. He coulda just been some random cat on the street. But instead he transformed that pain into the pad and made himself immortal. That shyt is dope in a way.

MUHAMMAD: So you feel like — did hip-hop save your life?

PRODIGY: Yeah, definitely, man. It gave me a life because my life before hip-hop was just pain. Sickle cell was my life before hip-hop. I ain't really have no life — that was it. I'm growing up, that's all I knew, just being in a f—-ing hospital all the time. And then music — when I first started hearing Run-DMC "Sucker MCs" and LL [Cool J's] "My Radio," the Juice Crew and all that. I started seeing all of that. The aggressiveness of it attracted me to hip-hop because I was angry inside. I was an angry kid because of the sickle cell. So I liked the anger in hip-hop. That's what attracted me to it; that's what made me want to do it. It helped me get my aggression out.

Until last week I didn't know that there are two different versions of this video. I prefer this one.

I prefer this version too..Nas and Diddy cameos.

Was listening to a bunch of Prodigy and Mobb last night, and was inspired to come up with this blend. Let my friend use it as an exclusive for his Hip Hop art gallery

 

[Viva]

Still haven't stopped listening to like an hour+ a day of the M-O-B-B!

P DUB SHINES REGARDLESS!

 

[John Reena]

I been listening to "Hell In Earth" "Blood Money" and "America's Nightmare" NONSTOP.

"One Of Ours" ft Jadakiss was a MASTERPIECE. That beat is just perfection.

I was just listening to the version without Jada, I like P and Hav's verses on that better.

I made a playlist of some of my favorite Prodigy features and have been playing that for almost a month now. Along with all the Mobb/P solo albums of course.
