I already said my RIP earlier in the thread, but Im not buying this choking egg thing, like I cant see Prodigy putting a whole egg in his mouth wtf, TMZ need to ? , even if he did choke and die, it makes no difference, we still lost a hip hop great... Once again, RIP!!!!

Yeah agree with that, think Ive said this before too, P or Mobb Deep seem to always be sampled on cuts etc -
R.I.P. to a goat.
All the classics have probably been posted, so here's a lesser known catchy track. Note: I'm not implying anything by posting this:

Aye @tompetrez3 keep ya head up, bruh ... ever since I've been on this forum you always stated, P was your favourite rapper. I don't know what it is to feel the loss of your favourite musician of the musical genre you love...

Surprised the ? lived this long..
Do you know what kind of suffering sickle cell brings? Ive watched family members with sickle cell grasping for breath in tears begging to die from the pain sickle cell causes
Aside from his GOAT rap moments ,Its amazing how long he fought thru the pain of being born with a crippling disease..
Im sad that hip hop lost a grimey bar genius but happy that he transitioned and he dont have to suffer no more..I know ive clowned P in the past but he was and still is one of my favorite rapper..I recently repurchased return of the mac last week..Its kind of weird that he would pass this week..
We should celebrate that he aint suffering no more -
? 's still unbelievable to me it just makes you numb if anything
on the other side the blessed thing bout Prodigy and is that we can celebrate his life at least -
Damn his daughter good lookin

I said one of the most -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJMWFjYjT5gProdigy of Mobb Deep circles back around to his 2011 project "The Ellworth Bumpy Johnson EP" to release an official music video for "Stronger." -
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wNyjpHo8t-EAs many East Coast hip hop heads know, this past week carries special significance for the legendary ? duo Mobb Deep. Last Tuesday marked the 22nd anniversary of The Infamous, an archetype of grimy 1990's New York hip hop. For the latest episode of "Open Space," Prodigy of Mobb Deep stopped by MASS APPEAL to talk about how important The Infamous really was; especially after Mobb Deep's not-so-stellar debut album, Juvenile Hell.
By focusing heavily on production, Prodigy and Havoc crafted the signature sound for which Mobb Deep is known. "The lifestyle that we were living, the lifestyle that we grew up in, the beats just naturally came out like some dark, sinister-sounding, s***," Prodigy added. "The lyrics were easy after that because the beats pulled the lyrics out of me."
Thankfully for Mobb Deep, this reinvention of their sound fared well, commercially and critically. The Infamous was certified Gold just two months after its release and remains one of the most revered albums in hip hop today.
Mass Appeal: Tell us about the making of The Infamous
Prodigy: When Juvenile Hell first came out it didn't do well. We were just learning how to make beats. We was young kids. We didn't really know what we was doing. Right around the time the album came out, Nas dropped Illmatic. It was just an incredible work of art. Sonically, lyrically, everything. It made us look at ourselves like, 'What the f*** is we doing?' Listening to a masterpiece this kid just made and we're with him every day. We didn't tell our story correctly and Nas, with Illmatic, helped us to realize that. So we was like, 'Yo, you know what? We gotta come correct, dawg. We gotta really dig deep and tell people who we are. Share your pain, your fears ... everything with the people. Then they'll resonate with it. We better than what we did,' And we was like, 'We ain't gon' get another chance after this. If we flop again it's over.' We regrouped, went in the crib ... mad [beer], mad weed and started grinding making beats. -
One of my funniest Prodigy memory....right before Keep it Thoro dropped, I got an early copy ( u know how that goes lol), so right after I go back home to visit... my boys cousin got a studio so we hanging in there....they are like u from the States spit something....now I can t rap for ? so I'm thinking next thing u know....I step to the Mike and open with " I break, bread ribs hundred dollar bills....." go through the whole verse.....them ? going crazy in the studio.....months later that ? drops over there....fools blew up my phone pissued off!!!
