    "Mobb Deep wonder why ? blowed them out. Next time grown folks talk, ? close your mouth"

    Pac saw them as kids, like young ? , they hadnt earned stripes to go at him, when u go to war with a ? , makesure u studied his style

    Anyways with the Nas beef dead, it was inventible Mobb Deep wud peace it up, that beef was pointless and served no purpose

    pac had bigger fish to fry.

    Yeah, likewise .

    I really think P could have War'd with Pac better then Nas or Jay-Z could. (at that time)
    Not only lyrically, but with Havocs legendary production too.

    Prodigy's verse on Drop a Gem on 'Em was uncut raw, and Havoc blacked out on that song production wise. Bar for bar, P could see Pac easy, at the time that is.

    But yeah, the beef would have eventually subsided.

    the good ol days

    the best overall work of art that year was clearly Outkast ATLiens.

    Nobody outside of the Tri-State area knew who the ? Jay-Z was at that time and Reasonable Doubt is not a classic by the way

    It was written, the score, ironman could have all been the best. Didnt Bone Thugs drop E.1999 Eternal that year too? UGK Ridin ? came out that year also. Nothing but classics that year.


    Those where the days when a Soulja Boy or a Gucci Mane would never see the light of day

    Co sign! I never understood what people saw in prodigy. Yeah he had some nice beats but lyrically he always been average at best to me. Most of his rhymes, don't rhyme. I guess you have to be from the east coast to understand him

    Never said he was super lyrical
    Never said he was on the level of Nas, Kool G, etc.
    And i'm not overrating Prodigy...

    ...Prodigy's style was very intricate to me, i don't base everything on multis. And just because a rapper supposedly uses more multis than the next rapper, doesn't mean that they can beat them in a battle.

    i never said u said he was on the level
    of g rap nas etc
    and i don't base everything on multi's either
    prodigy also did'nt have internal rhyme no slant rhymes
    no complex metaphors no great wordplay he had a wack flow
    and his punchlines were ass also he wasn't a great songwriter.
    all im saying is he wasn't a elite lyricist.

    Thats fine ....

    All P (or Havoc) had to do was name drop Pac once, and anything could have happened.

    Imagine this:

    "Who Shot Ya? Pac probably screamed louder than an opera
    New York gotcha, now you wanna use my mob as a crutch
    what makes you think you cant get bucked again
    ?"

    Hell on Earth came out within 2 weeks after the 7 Day Theory.
    Such a quick response alone would have gave the Mobb some shine.

    NY alone would've embraced P for officially stepping up to the plate.

    Pac stays alive, he'd be battling with half of NY throughout the late 90's.

    His flow was what made him ill imo, his flow was on some drunken boxing ? , wild unpredictable...

    ...But the rest is your opinion, i obviously disagree.

    i cant even call it but dont forget about

    the roots- illadelphalife
    busta rhymes- the coming
    geto boys- resurrection
    ras kass- soul on ice
    jeru the damaja- wrath of the math
    de la soul- stakes is high
    redman- muddy waters
    heltah skeltah- nocutrnal
    westside connection- bow down

    classic year...

    A world wide super star just giving those local artist a chance to make some major noise.

    Havoc - "Yelling my name only giving me Props" .

    Plus Mobb Deep debuted 6th on the Boards, with a 4 Mic Source album.
    A name drop could've done more good then bad for an already successful Hell on Earth
