PRODIGY IS TOP 15 DEAD OR ALIVE

[its....JOHN B]

P on hnic 2 sounded a lot like shyne did on godfather buried alive IMO

 

[DMTxTHC]

Prodigy (95-00)..

Cube (88-93)..

Ghostface (95-00)..

Redman (92-97)..

Rakim (87-92)..

Big Boi and 3000 (94-99)..

Jigga (96-2001)..

Nas (94-99)..

Phife and Q-Tip (91-96)..

Prodigy had one of the illest six year runs in Rap history..

Although P fell way off since 2000 (which goes to show you how dope he was), I wouldn't say it's a reach to put him in the top 15.. the man (along with Hav of course) gave ya'll three classics back to back.. what more do ya'll niggas need? lol..

 

[freshb651]

Top 15 ?,Maybe, Prodigy is a legend though and one of the most bitten rappers next to Biggie. He's one of the

architects of NY's sound,Mobb Deep took boom bap and enhanced it,they gave it a darker feel.

And when I say "run", I don't mean when they were at the peak of popularity or anything like that, I mean when I feel they made their best music, consecutively..

For example..

Phife and Q-Tip (91-96)..

Low End Theory - 91..

Midnight Marauders - 93..

Q-Tip's production/input on The Infamous - 95..

Beats Rhymes and Life - 96..

prodigy hasnt had a good performance since 2000. Theres rappers who fell off, but none as bad as prodigy, save nore. P killed hell on earth tho.

True but when having a GOAT discussion the entire body of work has to be considered...so you cant just dismiss all the wack juice he spit up post 2000.....sometimes dude was even rhyming....however.....yeah from 95 to 2000 got damn he was bananas

Buttuh B, take it from a fellow P fan....you were better off making this into an "apprecation thread"...but now you done fucked up lol

The only thing that can save this thread (and with it P's reputation) are some dope verses from his prime. I suggest you start posting shit ASAP

 

[*~queenbee~*]

Shit, while we're here...


Segregate those fake poems

Separate the bullshit from the authentic

Vintage rhyme division got the globe listening

My rap scroll belittled your goals and visions

Prohibition got my whole block pissin Christian

One-fifty-one dunn'll have you off balance walkin

Don't let your e-motions get involved talkin

To the wrong culprit, the killer be the soft spoken

So what's ya intentions, you want to glow for the moment?

Throw on ya two pennys then you boltin

I rock for the few chosen, who got they third minds open

Write a page that'll engage war and encite fights

Be on the look for the bright lights and north winds

The trumpets be the mics ya size malevolent

You don't belong in my eyesight, P's powerful soldier

Of the light and things won't be the same

The game's over

 

[DMTxTHC]

Prodigy, turning niggas to proteges..

 

[buttuh_b]

Gotta go to work. But just listen to all his verses on Hell on Earth.

What happen with "P" was "Takeover" did have an affect and his disease has also effected his performance. Top 15? Well it's debatable cause he had such a strong start. But the later years really brought him down the list sadly. Up until "H.N.I.C" I was really with him being apart of the upper teir of Emcees but "Imfamy" on the bars got weaker the flow was lazier.

The only great thing that came out of Later was Alchemist linking up with the Mobb from 99' on. With that said I'm a Mobb fan for life but P did fall off skills wise after the year 2000. The last 13 years have been hit or miss and sadly it's mostly miss. But again I'm always a fan so I support all P's work. I copped "H.N.I.C. 2 and Return of the Mac". Even the mixtapes I download. I didn't buy "H.N.I.C. 3" cause it was weak. Mobb hasn't had a good group LP since "Murda Muzik". "Infamy, Americaz Nightmare and Blood Money" were all nothing more than 3-3.5 Mics. They all had hot songs but they weren't great albums. With that said "Black Cocaine" is an underrated EP album. It was fire

if you're interested in some of their shit that didn't make it to studio albums look up this Mobb Misses mixtapes by J Love.....and I have never listened to Blood Money and never will,,,what alot youngins right here don't know is that album singlehandly drove them underground....because even though Prodigy had been at least average (and that being nice) they still had a cult like fanbase that would still allow them to go at least gold....but when they signed to G Unit and Prodigy dropped that infamous interview...niggas was like.....

NIGGAS WAS DONE WITH MOBB DEEP....LIKE

I think I have "Mobb Misses" and also Mister Cee Mobb mixtape with those outtakes but gotta search my hard drive. I actually copped "Free Agents: Murda Mixtape Douple LP". "Infamous Archives Double Album", "The Safe is Cracked" and loved all of those albums but they were more like you just said underground Mobb LP's. Their released LP's haven't been as strong.

But all of those Mobb CD's are more like "Mobb Deep The Lost Tapes" cause it's all songs that didn't make the albums. Again I loved "Black Cocaine" and don't know why they didn't expand on that album and make it a full LP. Again don't get it twisted, When you put Mobb with Hav and P solo careers they are no doubt one of the greatest rap groups ever but If I had to honest about P as far as being Top 15, it's debatable but he does have some bad strikes for later in his career.
