Whats the Story Between Mobb Deep and South Central Cartel?

[UserNameless]

SCC was the first group I heard using the Hav and P monikers.

Didnt Tragedy give Havoc his name?

I never got a straight answer.

Anyone making hip hop music is biting NY. How can they be the biters lol

they'd be biting NY, not Mobb Deep

 

[DANJ!]

Coincidence... SCC came out before Mobb, but as early as mid'-91 when they were featured in Unsigned Hype, their names were Havoc and Prodigy.

The only way it could a bite by either one or the other is if they happened to cross paths before getting signed... but then again, what are the chances two groups would meet and one would decide to take two of the members' names and use them for their own. Nobody in '91, neither Mobb or SCC had anything to gain by stealing a name. And like homie said earlier in the thread, there's two Havocs (Havoc/Havikk) in SCC alone, haha

Prodigy addressed this in his Juan Epstein interview

Cant find they exact time he speaks on it, but its a great interview. He speaks on the ballet pic which has a cool backstory

Some of you say the most stupid shyt lmao. Saying everyone is BITIN N.Y cause they rap is like saying everyone is biting Jordan cause they play basketball, or M.J cause they sing, even if they sing differently. Just cause you rap don't mean your biting, biting is when you try be or act or steal something else. So to say Mobb couldn't of stole the name cause Hip Hop in written history has it's start in N.Y is ridiculous lol. However I don't know what happened, whether it was coincidence or someone biting.

 

[Poitier]

Havoc and Prodigy are two of the most generic names you could come up with.
