Rapper Prodigy has commemorative mural repeatedly vandalized....BUT IMAGINE FOR A SECOND...

[mobbinfms]

If they were as tough as they say they are they woulda taped themselves doing it and let it be known.

 

[mobbinfms]

Its a crew of salty dudes doing this mad cuz pee didnt hold they hand in the game.

It's not that he didn't hold their hand in the game...it all boils down to what happened with Worm at the Murda Muzik release party at the Tunnel and the subsequent retaliation.

 

[mobbinfms]

I put the name on the map after Marley and Shan

The QB sound is really all Havoc though.
Nas is far and away the most prominent rapper from QB.

 

[mobbinfms]

Nas is a pop artist.

 

[dennis roadman]

because mega was ran with/was a gangsta/drug dealer

i know, that's why it's a weak argument

 

[mobbinfms]

Mobb went "pop" aswell. Even made a video on the beach with nas. Most of nas shyt isn't pop.

Neither of them went "pop".
Mobb held onto their core sound longer (HNIC was the first time you heard Mobb over beats that were "current"). The track with 112 was a clear attempt to soften their sound and get radio play. "Kill any misconception that you got of Mobb Deep" still makes me physically ill to hear that line

It's Mine video was definitely a standard issue Hype WIlliams video for the time - so I see your point, but outside of the hook, it wasn't geared for radio.

I will say this, Nas executed a reach for radio/mainstream far more tastefully on IWW than MObb did on Infamy
Scott Storch beats

pretty much

the way he shytted on Lake on this

 

[mobbinfms]

why else do you think his mural ain't get touched?

He didn't feud with QB bosses in the way P did.
Mega won't deface his mural. To my knowledge, Mega was never touched in that beef the way Worm had glass all in his nostrils :prodigylol:
I know Lake dissed (maybe dissed ain't the right word, cried?) Nas about not being invited to his wedding. :prodigylol2:
I'm not sure what their relationship is like right now.
Have no idea about the Worm/Nas relationship

 

[mobbinfms]

I only say Nas, because I feel like Nas has transcended the QB sound. Nas is an iconic poet, so it no longer matters where he's from...even though it's ingrained in him. Hav & P are/were still QB. Damn near every album cover, almost every lyric. That's the difference. Nas is on a different stratosphere, not just stuck to QB.

Mobb stopped referencing QB on that last album.

 

[spliz]

I believe that he would accompany his mother who was working in QB (for the NY Housing Authority I think?) during summers and so he was around from an early age.

He didn't meet Havoc until 89 when he was 14/15. At that point I believe Hav started really taking him around QB.
I don't know if he ever actually lived there.

He never did. Not when he was a teenager anyway.

 

[mobbinfms]

And act like mobb didn't fukk with lil john too.

That record was terrible

Was just listening to Amerikaz Nightmare yesterday.
That had to be Hav's worst effort production wise.

 

[mobbinfms]

Did they not start making more radio friendly shyt in 99?

It's Mine is a real stretch...
I'll give you Rock Dat shyt though...

 

[IllmaticDelta]

the difference is,those guys are nas childhood friends

Mega won't deface his mural. To my knowledge, Mega was never touched in that beef the way Worm had glass all in his nostrils :prodigylol:

mega was talking about (threatening) punching nas in the face if they ever met back in the early 2000s.

I know Lake dissed (maybe dissed ain't the right word, cried?) Nas about not being invited to his wedding. :prodigylol2:
I'm not sure what their relationship is like right now.

I don't know

Have no idea about the Worm/Nas relationship

nas shouted him not too long ago so they're most likely cool

 

[mobbinfms]

It's not survival of the fittest either...

They had to kill the misconceptions about Mobb Deep that arose from Survival of the Fittest

last time I heard Nas reference Sherm was on Testify

remember Jungle showing love to Worm on that hood 2 hood segment
crazy to think about how much potential classic shyt was lost because of beef
