Honestly he's underrated. Kind of reminds me of Birdman and Wayne. Wayne always had better bars but Birdman still had a different flow and it still went hard.
Being a Queensbridge native, Mobb Deep instrumentals does something to the spirit, like you gotta stop what you doing and listen to the grimey coming through the speakers cause they talking about our lives
If this is not in your top 10 albums of all time you know nowt about hip hop. Havoc and Prodigy RIP two of the best from the East coast, proper NYC rap, prolific writing geniuses.
Interesting, that is entirely a British term, but spelled differently. As far as I know that should be nought, nothing, zero (or zed I should say). But nowt is how most people say it is and honestly I have no idea what they consider the correct spelling in the UK.
This is honestly one of my favorite hip hop songs of all times. Just captures the essence of New York. Grimey and Beautiful at the same time. Rip Bandana P, shout out Havoc 💯 🙏🏽
This album is NYC in sonic form. Dark, classy, groovy, raw and beautiful in it's own unique way. Capturing that essence is and of itself is a huge accomplishment. Back at You and If it's Alright share the same signature sound. Shout out Havoc, Q-Tip and Big Noyd. RIP Prodigy!
This Album Represents, The Real Grimy, Gritty, Get Your Leather Coat Jacked, Buck Fiddy Across Your Face With The Box Cutter 90's NYC Era! New York City, Lets Stand Up! Respect To Mobb Deep! Rest In Peace Prodigy 🙌🏾
Fr, 90s was the golden decade for Hip Hop. Every year you can name HUGE records that came out and changed shit. It was so connected as a culture and genre, constant references to other rappers and producers, they were close and gave props to each other. You don't see love like that no more. Underground shit today is good too but it ain't ever gonna touch anything from the 90s, let's be real.
I discovered that song when I was a teen, have 36 YO now, and that's still simply the best rap song I ever heard by far... and one's of my favorites songs From a Rock & Metal fan, pure love and respect from France RIP Prodigy, always in our heart, we miss you dude
“…and kept a Mac’ in the engine, Littles painted it black with craçk sale intentions…” *Littles is a member of The Infamous Mobb. He’s on a skit freestyle on Prodigy’s solo album, HNIC. I believe it’s track #17, the song before the one with B.G (Y.B.E)
Maybe the greatest 2-bar loop ever made. Hearing that beat slide from left to right for the first time on my car stereo back in 2020 blew me away like no album intro before or since.
It always trips me out that this is actually their 2nd album. It's like a whole enhanced sound from the previous album. Like this upgrade is superb. Artists like Mobb Deep, Sean Price, Outkast, Redman, Biggie, & Tupac all had this evolution in sound in such a short matter of time, it's crazy. All you got to do is listen to the actual artist from the very 1st album to like the last. All lyrically & sonically are different from the last.
Prodigy literally went...P went...completely unconscious on his last verse. I mean, it's like I was Go-Pro through every rhyme...I could see all of it!
One of the best Rap albums of all time that defined the one time Progidy became untouchable and Havoc a genius. Jay-Z even said P. Was the best at one point and I think he even out did Nas on this one.
Im from Brooklyn new York 11230 i live in Detroit Michigan tho i still got my inner city flame burning in me that keeps me alive if your from new york you can survive anywhere miss prodigy wish he was still here that guy taught me my whole life of growing up without my mom and dad who died back in 2006
Listening to this makes me think of how dope QTip is as well. Not only did he help on this album, but he imo gave Queens a signature sound. You can hear it on Low end theory the snares are smaking and the kicks are kicking 😅. Thanks, Tip and Hav for this art 🎨
Loved playin this in the rain in the car in high school. 22 years ago. Wilsons leather coat at wheat Tims. They Influenced a whole generation in SF Bay area.
Legendary opening track to a legendary album. They just don't make them like this anymore. Chills when I listen to this. RIP PRODIGY. 1 Of the best to ever do this.
P……..period…this is the true essence of making lemons, into lemonade. The pain in this is crazy….things I had to do to survive in that era…just to make it out.
@@9577frasier damn that's a great comeback. Not even mad you said that.. the production could have been a little bit better some of the songs were low but that's the only beef I have with it💯
Now this is how you start an album. I can remember pressing play on the cd player and being blown away from beginning to the ending. Crazy intro! 🔥🔥🔥🔥A classic top 40 hip hop albums of all time right here.🔥🔥🔥🔥
Niggas got to understand the importance of this record. This track set the tone for the whole album. Just right out the gate, gritty.

PRODIGY FOREVER

Havoc is a underrated producer
No, he's not
Underrated spitta..havoc is
Havoc ruined too many songs by rapping
All day, all the way. He is one of the master’s of masking the sample.
You’ve lost your natural born mind. Havoc is etched in the producer scroll.
Best intro in the history of rap
I'm from Texas and this intro is fire r.i.p Prodigy

No doubt im stuck in this lifestyle snd i cant get out
Great comment. This comment is long overdue.

Timeless jams . It's like soul food that can never go bad .
*This beat sounds so heavenly but yet so grimey if that makes sense. One of my favorite Mobb Deep songs. R.I.P. Prodigy*

The beat along with the lyrics makes you watch these snake ass niggas in the streets

Black Moon, Cube and Smiff n Wessun were up the come up, but Mobb came up out on top in my opinion.
All of them great, but this just killed if.

A hard track, but really profound and personal at the same time.
"Staying intoxicated, never sober"

Reminds me of running around NYC growing up with friends
If I were a teenager or early 20s in a black innercity than you knew.

Respect To Mobb Deep!
Rest In Peace Prodigy 🙌🏾
Something special about this album that I can’t describe. Mobb Deep were DIFFERENT.
The pathology. That was the seasoning that separates them from the rest. It took me nearly 30 years to figure it out.
Big L had it heavy as well.
*These songs are gold*
25years old and still the best..
Classics never age
25 years young. Mobb is fine wine. This is part of the foundation of rap.
Feels like new can't believe it's that old
'I used to drive an Ac and kept a Mac in the engine. Littles painted it black with crack sale intentions'.. R. I. P Thunn.. Miss u bro 🙏🏿🔥🔥🔥👑
This shit better than rap nowadays. This the real shit✅
As time passes this album ages better. Really is something special. Such a good representation of NY. The beats the rhymes everything is on here
It’s a certified classic from my first full listen through and I’m telling you straight outta Middle GA. I fcked with Da Mobb HEAVY!
The track that marks the introduction to one of the greatest albums of all time
Why can't we go back to the 90's low-key the early-mid and late 90's is where all the real shit was made
I still making something for hip hop, you can check
Fr, 90s was the golden decade for Hip Hop. Every year you can name HUGE records that came out and changed shit. It was so connected as a culture and genre, constant references to other rappers and producers, they were close and gave props to each other. You don't see love like that no more.

Golden age shit
I agree man
I discovered that song when I was a teen, have 36 YO now, and that's still simply the best rap song I ever heard by far... and one's of my favorites songs
From a Rock & Metal fan, pure love and respect from France
RIP Prodigy, always in our heart, we miss you dude
“I use to drive a Ac(Acura) with a Mac in the engine/ window’s tinted in black with crack sale intentions “- P. One one of the ilkest lines ever
“…and kept a Mac’ in the engine, Littles painted it black with craçk sale intentions…”

This is how you open an album.

It always trips me out that this is actually their 2nd album. It's like a whole enhanced sound from the previous album. Like this upgrade is superb. Artists like Mobb Deep, Sean Price, Outkast, Redman, Biggie, & Tupac all had this evolution in sound in such a short matter of time, it's crazy. All you got to do is listen to the actual artist from the very 1st album to like the last. All lyrically & sonically are different from the last.
If you got a chance check out my 90s raise meep
Prodigy's verse on this was out this world. Prodigy was so much better than given credit.
P..top 2 imo in the 90s a a east coast emcee...nas ,prodigy, biggie,meth , rae / red / ghost...
Welcome to the deepest underground song ever
Prodigy literally went...P went...completely unconscious on his last verse. I mean, it's like I was Go-Pro through every rhyme...I could see all of it!
Still Bumping this Album 2024 soundtrack 2 my Life an am born 76 Kidd
One of the best Rap albums of all time that defined the one time Progidy became untouchable and Havoc a genius. Jay-Z even said P. Was the best at one point and I think he even out did Nas on this one.

P went nuts on this album
Actually P was even better on Hell On Earth!
On what let's not talk crazy slow your roll. Doing to much Nas is different.

Best starting to an Album

1995 what a period...
Prodigy touched my heart.
Bandana P slid on this! 🔥 Miss you dawg! 🕊️ 🙏🏾
Only intro I have continuously listened to for close to 3 decades now
Rip Prodigy ♥
One of P’s top 5 verses, easily.
RIP PRODIGY 🔥 Goin to Queens ,NY just for you u know 🔥🍻💪🇺🇸
Rap dudes went straight to the moon lyrically between 95-98
Prodigy left fucking earth
I think this is one of prodigy's best verses. So so good. And the beat is amazing.
the older i get the more its solidified that this is my favorite rap album from the 90s era.
The real story of our lives
For real Queens people for real 👑👑👑👑👑
Hold my blunt legends never dies
41st Side to West Africa 🇲🇷 Bad azz intro for a classic album, Havoc u really killed that beat straight up.
Still the hardest song ever made.
Prodigy's verse was so crazy his homeboy had to ask him to chill.
Them deciding to producing themselves was the best decision they ever made. This album is light years better than their first one!!!
P went off! Even Havoc had to tell him to chill. LOL.
