Why Is Prodigy So Much More "Celebrated" Than Havoc?

[360dagod]

Prodigy was clearly better rapper until Infamy came out.

Do you think Hav has anything in his solo catalog touchin HNIC 1?

 

[JuvenileHell]

P just stood out more than Havoc when it came to rapping, mainly because of his voice. Havoc was great too but P was just on another level. His performance on Hell On Earth made that clear.

You should probably listen to their full catalog. Early albums, very few people in the game were seeing P, period. He was so creative, so vivid, so full of energy. The tide turned around Infamy.

Murda Muzik was when i 1st got into Mobb Deep. Havent really heard much before that album

Hav the beta master with backing ng vocals. P the emcee..

 

[PhonZhi]

I agree. Especially in the 2nd half of Mobb Deep's catalougue. Hav has been a better rapper than Prodigy for over 10 years now.

This is also how I feel about The Clipse. Malice lyrically outdid Pusha on just about all their work but people like Pusha more.

Malice has ALWAYS been better to me than Push. Both dope but Malice paints better pictures and is more descriptive and vivid imo

 

[Threnody]

Its crazy how P stepped up......Havoc was clearly the better emcee pre "The Infamous"

 

[Guess Who]

P Painted a picture and had the attitude to go along with it...

From the way he flowed to the shyt he said, he had the i dont give a fukk vibe down pat...

Havoc was cool, but P came off as a fukked up nikka who just came off a coke binge...It was just raw

Yup. Prodigy was one of the most believable rappers EVER...until he took a string of Ls that ruined his mystique. Also, the sickle cell fukked up his delivery and he started sounding lazy on the mic.

People forget their used to be debates about who was the better QB rapper, Nas or Prodigy.

Dude was that nice.

I think Pusha T as liked more because he was more relatable. Malice shyt has always been super deep and reflective and the average listener isn't trying to think that deeply when listening to music.

Funny i never thought about that being the reason even tho i knew he struggled with it. I just always felt that especially during Infamy he started sounding really lazy like you said.

Wait, what?! I personally love Murda Muzik, but how have you not heard their other albums? That's blasphemy. At least Infamous & Hell On Earth, certified classics.

And even P's 1st solo joint is a classic. You buggin. That's your homework for next week, son lol

I think he talks about it in his book or in an interview somewhere.

But yeah, that's the reason.

When he hears The Infamous and Hell on Earth he will understand why people thought Prodigy was so ill.

 

[Danie84]

More unique delivery I guess?

The same reason why everyone bigs up Andre3k even tho Big Boi holds his own

This is a great analogy

...Hav production carried P thru Infamy and Amerika's Nightmare BARZ drought, tho

But, Mobb on G-Unit is when everything really fell apart
