Sticking with some of his more well known cuts, remember seeing the video for this back in '04 when it came out and getting put on to Alchemist. The way P & Illah Ghee go back and forth is just so dope. When he developed that style post HNIC where his lines wouldn't always rhyme, but just the way he delivered them was so powerful.

I BEEN saying that it's a GOD DAMN BLESSING that QB P didn't get shot, stabbed or knuckled down, nor did he die in a car crash. He beat the prison system and he escaped the police enough to taste international freedom, though so many from Queensbridge and Lefrak will never do the same. No Amerikkkan evil conquered him: he died while on tour of the one thing that was always hovering over his head: that god damn sickle cell anemia. I thought this day might have come 20 years ago, so it's a fucking miracle Prodigy blessed us with NUFFFFFFFF fucking music to enjoy until this piece of shit hell on earth destroys itself :cry:

#RIPProdigy for real forever

now he can drink Henny with Killa Black and finally make that song with Tupac
You're in Heaven right now, God.

I just googled " life expectancy for those with sickle cell"

This was the answer:

"Among children and adults with sickle cell anemia (homozygous for sickle hemoglobin), the median age at death was 42 years for males and 48 years for females. Among those with sickle cell-hemoglobin C disease, the median age at death was 60 years for males and 68 years for females."

Crazy that he was 42.

yeah my dude, like "Mac 10 Handle" love how he starts

"By myself in my four cornered room watching "Hard Boiled" /
I feel like I'm crazy..."

No rhyme, obviously, but shit just immediately puts you in the scene with him. Powerful bars, worthy sequel to "Mind Playing Tricks"

I'm honestly waiting for the autopsy to see if he really choked on an egg. Seems like one hell of a way to go. I am skeptical, but the way Havoc described Prodigy's condition (being up and walking and seemingly on the mend) makes it sound like something unexpected happened. Who knows though obviously. Sickle cell complications could've certainly been the case.

Prodigy was like 5'6 and had a heart of a giant. There wasn't one rapper he was afraid to go after and he got into it with the best. From Pac, Nas and Jay, he took his lumps. He put guys like Fat Joe on front street. I loved his courage, the honesty and the heart.

Well said.

I'm devastated about him passing, but I'm also very happy to see all the attention he's getting right now. Everyone seems to be showing love, no hating.

Do you have a prodigy/mobb tribute show in the works? We need that...

As some of you may know, we @ Take It Personal were dedicating our next few episodes to West Coast Classics. For the past few weeks, we’ve been compiling tracks, gathering ideas, calling on the big homies @murs316 @fashawn @planetasiamedallions @therealhierocrew and a gang of others for some help. 3 days ago the music world got rocked (again). We lost one of the best in hip-hop. Prodigy was special, and not because he was responsible for endless classics or because his music was the soundtracks to many of our adolescent years, but because he was for lack of a better, was the last of a dying breed. He stood 5’6, but had a heart of giant. He feared no one. He went at anyone who he felt deserved it. Didn’t matter if they were the biggest names in hip-hop or the best rappers. Pac, Nas, Jay, nobody was safe if Prodigy wanted to speak his peace, especially Joe Budden, Fat Joe or Dipset. Whether you agreed with him or not, he did things his way. His honesty was refreshing. Prodigy was unique. His voice, his style, the words that just came out of his mouth consumed every part of your body. “I break bread, ribs, hundred dollar bills” “Life is a gamble, we scramble for money. I might crack a smile but ain’t a damn thing funny.” “There’s a war going on outside no man is safe from. You could run but you can’t hide forever from these streets we done took. You walkin with your head down, scared to look." This one will take a while to get used to. It took a while with the passing of Phife Dawg too. This hurts. The only way we can properly pay homage to Prodigy is to immediately put our West Coast Classics series on hold, and drop an extremely needed, well-deserved tribute to Albert “Prodigy” Johnson. I hope you join us next week as we put the finishing touches on this. We know we gotta come correct and we hope you’ll agree our track record speaks for itself. We won’t do Prodigy wrong, or you. RIP P!
