Title: Is the old Prodigy coming back ?
Post by: herpes on January 13, 2007, 10:09:14 AM
if he keeps rhyming like this, his solo album has potential.  Sure it aint the infamous or hell on earth Pee, but its somewhere around HNIC pee and i'll take that any day of the week over the past few years

he actuallys sounds somewhat hungry.  And hes making an effort to rhyme this time around instead of that talking over the mic shit.

yes he was, are you fuckin kidding me ?  How do you go from one of the top 5 in the game to one of the saddest stories in rap.  Half his verses  in the past 5 years havnt even rhymed and if they did they were on some simplistic tip.  He wasnt even flowing on tracks, he was doing spoken word most of the time.  Even the stuff he did on juvenile hell were better then most of the stuff during the past 5 years.  I doubt you have even heard the infamous.

im not sure, I heard they might just be on a mixtape which if thats the case is a shame b/c then you know Pee will put the trash on the actual album.

No it's not...I can not believe this is the same rapper I heard come with sometimes poetic, sometimes merciless but always hard hitting rhymes. He can't rap for shit now...but hey that is what lots of drugs will do to you.

acutually he fell off after he got off the drugs.   Either the sickle cell has really taken a number on him or his ghost writer died.

Ah I see.....but I did not think that sickle cell attacked the mind, i thought it was debilitating yes but did not affect the mind?

the constant being in severe pain and having to take medication eventually takes a severe toll on the mind aswell.

Well I'll def say that those beats shit on most everything else Mobb Deep has done recently.  That was some dark shit.  Alchemist do that New York Shit?  I was really feelin that production, especially that 2pac sample on the hook.  Plus he incorporated some scratches and shit.  I'd love to hear that in CDQ.

I'll never have any delusions that Pee will ever be as good as he was, but does sound better on these than he has in a while.  But still a fraction of what he used to be.

sickle cell is no joke, I got a friend who has that shit , Prodigy will never be the MC he was on the Infamous even if you check his solo LP he started falling off then but these new joints are as dope as he has sounded for the longest I'll always root for dude ever since I met him and Hav in "95

Y'all hate on 50 Cent signin' Mobb Deep but love this shit? 50 is actually the only one who wanna bring this mixtape out as a official album, the entire mixtape is produced by Alchemist and got Prodigy rappin', no guests... But Alchemist used too many samples that's why they don't wanna release it as a album, it will be near impossible to clear all that shit.

he was actually worse then most people said. thereīs prolly 40 Prodigy verses from the last 5 years where 90% of the "rhymes" didnīt actually rhyme.

Prodigy has been outstandingly bad ever since Jay-Z and the summerjam screen, 2001-2006 P is literally one of the worst rappers ever but these tracks are an improvement. He still aint even in HNIC form, but it's a start
