The lyrics of this song just move me so much and I'm not from anywhere near that street life they talk about. It's real poetry, real feelings, from the heart. These guys are up there with the best. No doubt.
I was born in 1997 and got introduced to hip hop at age 7 by a neighbor bumping 50 cent. By age 13 thru a middle school friend I got into The notorious B.I.G. Ever since then I got into hip hop studying the greats, mobb deep is one of the most underrated duos in hip hop history. A combination of talent and hard work, these two created amazing art. R.i.p prodigy !
On June 20, 2017, it was reported that Prodigy had died in Las Vegas, Nevada, after having been hospitalized a few days earlier for complications related to his sickle-cell anemia. He was performing in the Art of Rap Tour in Las Vegas with Havoc, Ghostface Killah, Onyx, KRS-One, and Ice-T when he was hospitalized. According to a coroner's report he died of accidental choking Source wikipedia, try it sometimes
2nd verse is A Dog from ACD & 4th Verse is Ammo from ACD, for those who sleeping peep out their album Korna Klaimers before YT removes it again... Peace
This is one of the first old school rap songs I ever heard, and I actually managed to get front row and get a handshake a few years back. This turned out to be the last concert Prodigy would ever do in my country. RIP.
Lauris Medus Yes I am still listening to the great Mobb to this day. The legends Prod and Hav. Rest in power to Prodigy the HNIC. He had a legendary 2 decade plus career.
Through the ups and downs of my chaotic youth this song was always there to keep my head bobbing and my mind drifting. Absolutely genius stuff. R.I.P. Prodigy. You will definitely be sorely missed..
Jay I prefer a lot of the tracks from The Infamous and Hell on Earth to Shook Ones. Not saying Shook Ones is bad, I just prefer some of their other songs more
These lyrics just hit! Since i was 11 years old and now 42. I aint nowhere near that life, just lyrical poetry. Dear Lord my life is trife please forgive me for my sins...
hmm well i get what you mean, im not a fan of these myself but personally i think drake has got a considerable amount of talent but sometimes hes too emotional on songs and sometimes his songs r too common, nikki just looks good (sometimes) and as for wayne?? i think hes a good producer at that but he aint shit tho as a rapper.. so its all open to interpretations
MAN! Comparing this real shit to ''rap'' today is like comparing Da Vinci and Pacasso to a 3 year old with a nice crayon. Fkin timeless. Will we ever get to see music like this ever again?
+BadaBingg Do you even listen to today's rap? I mean beyond the retarded shit that's played on the radio and in clubs? Do you even follow modern hip-hop? There's plenty of great lyrical artists out there that are doing it like no one has ever done it before such as Logic and Joey Badass for example. Put in actual effort to find the gems. You act as if back in the day this was being played on the radio to the masses? Not really, back then MC Hammer was on the radio. MC fucking Hammer lol
Tdog323 Im not talking about the radio. N no i don't listen to todays rap. i don't even bother. . Its ridiculous. the golden age of hip hop is OVER. I'm sure there are a few gems out there though, but on the whole, the music has been dumb downed, and the content is terrible. theres no substance and realization. doesn't make you think, doesn't make you feel.
Havoc is always sharp. Even on features. “Can’t get enough of it” and “More Trife Life” are one of my top but this one is up there. He does go off though. Normally Prodigy is the lyrical Tank
The best ever rap duo ever period legends I love my mobb boys rip priodgy you were so special with so much talent you were one rap God xxxxxxxxxx havoc I absolutely adore you ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️💋💋💋💋💋💋
This first played on Stretch and Bobbito early in 96. Then it just disappeared for a little while so it stayed really underground until DJ's eventually got to it by 97-98. I think Rock n Soul had it on scratch.
Yep. My homie used to get NY radio somehow (in Philly). And he knew I was a mobb deep fanboy. He called me and I overheard this over the phone while he was recording on cassette for me haha I lost it when I heard this.
