We lost a level of truth in hip hop. Dun was real like few others ever have been EVER.

Really wild and weird that Prodigy dies so close to Tupac's birthday, and Jay-Z's long-awaited return to rap. Life is some shit.

Thug tears were shed today. Throw a TV at you, crazy

Sad news... One of my three favorite rappers of all time...

It's been frustrating to watch him slip into conspiracy theories throughout the years, but nonetheless I hope we'll get the chance to hear the last two volumes of Hegelian Dialectic.

RIP

Yea, I hope those get some sort of official release. The WHOLE songs without J's drops. #RipProdigy

Also, a compilation of scratch hooks using Prodigy's voice.

True, but I do think there are rough versions of those J love mixtape songs without J Love's voiceovers. I remember a compilation of that nature being put together in TROY, but it was a long time ago.

I think this is the comp TROY had several years ago. There is so much overlap of different versions between this, Infamous Archives, and the Infamous demos/re-release from a couple of years ago.

Every time Big Noyd gets on a song with them, it turns out incredible - really wish they had done some kind of collab album altogether...

Another random point, don't think any rapper's voice has ever been sampled as much as P's. Thought about this a couple years ago when TROY did the Brother's Want to Hang with the Meth mix. I'm sure there's dozens that i'm forgetting, but these three come to mind right away.

Wow thanks. This looks like what I was thinking of. Not quite sure if this covers everything from the J Love mobb misses mixtapes, but it does seem to cover a good amount of it.

So undignified for King Vulture to cark it choking on an egg like Lord Jamar in OZ :sad:

Even the Return Of The Mac era had killer officially unreleased joints:

Prodigy - Raining Guns and Shanks (2007)



:cheers: to the :phila:'s own Step One for recently putting me onto this old Mobb track I'd managed to miss:

Mobb Deep - If These Walls Could Talk (Snitched On) (2001)



Classical breaks are such a crucial part of QB thun-rap. Someone needs to do a comp of them and call it Right Bach At You! :gyeah:

I'd been slowly putting together a comp of P's freestyles recently. Was looking for more but there's 10 so far so seemed like enough to warrant posting. Some of these were linked to in my post on the previous page

https://www.mediafire.com/?73qsqy0gp4lyvxt" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;

01- Mobb Deep - WKCR freestyle (Sept 94)
02- Prodigy & Ty Nitty - DJ Clue freestyle (1996) over 'Motherless Child'
03- Prodigy - You Ain't A Killer freestyle (1997)
04- Prodigy - When You See Me (2001) dissing Jay Z over 'Hail Mary'
05- E Money Bags & Prodigy - Sooner Or Later (2000) over 'Phone Tap'
06- Prodigy - 50 MCs Vol 3 freestyle
07- Prodigy - Radio 1 Rap Show freestyle part one (April 2000)
08- Prodigy - Radio 1 Rap Show freestyle part two (April 2000)
09- Prodigy - Radio 1 Rap Show freestyle part three (April 2000) over The LOX 'Fuck You'
10 - Prodigy - Kay Slay freestyle (2000) over Wu Tang 'Uzi (Pinky Ring)'

can someone ID the beats on the first 2 Radio 1 Rap Show freestyles? They're pretty obvious but I;m drawing a blank right now.

Thanks Step. That reminds me I've been looking for their interview/freestyle on WNYU Martin Moore & Mayhem just before The Infamous dropped. I used have it on tape but lost it back in the 90's, I hope someone's got that?
