When Jay put Prodigy on that Summer Jam Screen what was the aftermath?

[Wild self]

Exactly. All these dudes claiming Jay shyt was ether AND than naming every real reason the Mobb was declining. The robbery incidents and the Star interview had much more effect. But again, the main reason was P's sharp decline in quality verses. Jay just did some corny high school shyt that, as usual, Jay made his minions believe had some type of monumental effect.

Jay-Z has stans that believed that he was their surrogate father. At that point, Jay's influence was on some God type shyt, making nikkas do whatever he wanted. He had a generation of nikkas (some posters on here) think that he was the next MLK.

It was the nail in the coffin for Nyc hiphop after Jay money cash hoes line started it

To tell you how fukked up it was, I remember Mobb went on Flex show to promote Infamy. Mind you, this was right after Ether and Superugly dropped. I remember Flex telling them, "I know Jay and Nas both mention y'all but this battle is bigger then y'all now." Basically saying, y'all (Mobb Deep) are an afterthought in this battle right now. I was like

What DIRECT effect did Jay showing a 1983 baby pic of Prodigy dressed as Michael Jackson have?

Did it make Prodigy write worse raps? Nope. We already established P fell off before 01 Summer Jam.

Did it effect their street cred? Nope. The robbery incidents and Star interview did that.

Did it effect their sales? Nope. By 2001 the Mobbs kind of music wasn't gonna sell anyway.

Jay got laughs and again fooled his stans into believing he did some shyt.

u cant debate with a jayz stan they will swear that they part of his life or some shyt ... too me mobb deep started decling when hip hop started changing they wanted to go with the change n that shyt aint work out to well infamy was not a good album at all to me .. it had some hits but that's when they started decling .. jayz was not a factor just for the stans yea

 

[FreshAIG]

I don't care how old I was, I never dressed or looked like this

Even though P's lyrics and delivery was underwelming during the "Infamy" era, I thought their diss back was actually pretty hard:

No it wasn't. That was the last real era for NYC hip hop, Nas, Ja, Cam and 50 came right after.

This thread should be about Dr Dre

Why? Dre's career continued to flourish after "Real Muthaphuckin' G's" dropped.

Prodigy took MAAAAD L's. nikka use to get snuffed all the time in his own fukking hood.

 

[big bun]

I don't think it had much of an effect...by then most cats knew P was a cookie.
