heard the mac is back the h-n-i-cizzy


Key To The City

Mobb Deep are my favourite rap group of all time. Not saying they’re the best group ever, but sentimentally for me - my fave. Round the mid 90’s if you’d asked me I woulda told you Prodigy is top 3 all day, and even now I still he reckon he has one of the best voices/deliveries of all time. As a huge fan it does kind of sadden me seeing how P is now viewed in the game. For me, P still steals the show on the majority of tracks he’s on - however this is generally due to him saying something ridiculous/dumb that sticks in your head. “I throw a TV at you crazy”, “a lil blood get on my daughter, it’s nothin she’ll live”, “I don’t run - I jus gun .. you all up”. He is fortunate in this sense, not giving a fuck just makes for more memorable lines. That’s charisma.

It is nice however, to be reminded of how good this dude can actually rap if he feels the urge. This vids taken a while to get here but P’s verse on Alchemist’s “Key to the city” is my favourite of his since, fuck I dunno … Murda Muzik ?? No truely retarded quotables, but the flow is a throwback to a younger more focussed Prodigy. Real smooth. Being that our man is now locked up in the pen I was wondering what they’d do with the vid, but the little kid they’ve got to perform Prodigy’s verse kills it. Worth the watch for him alone.

    Cool song/clip.

    Has anyone ever had their ability crippled as badly as Prodigy did after the 01 Summer Jam?

    Do the Free *insert rappers name here* tee’s crack you up? It’s like every MC that gets locked up is instant political prisoner status.

    I reckon Kurupt has had a real similar career trajectory. Another dude who was initially praised for his skills who you now look to more for comedic/outlandish quotes. Can’t be traced to a specific event with him tho.
