Prodigy's lyrics were solid technically but it was the voice, production, content, combination with Havoc and a bunch of other factors that made their work great.

I don't see it. Enlighten a brother post his best verses becuase he doesn't spit anything that sets him apart from the gangsta rappers from his era.
If you don't see it, you will NOT see it based on a couple of posts...Use Youtube and do your own research...

Prodigy's type of lyricism is so hard to duplicate...You have to be in a zone to come up with the stuff he was coming up with...Once you leave that zone, you can't return to it...

P one of my favorite MCs all time

I cant even listen to his verse on Shook Ones just once, I always listen to it two-three times in a row

Definitely, Havoc was dope as fukk, just at times P had that extra aura, think it was the voice but they were both ill.
P just had better ways to convey that grimyness. Threatening to stab you with your own nosebone. Clashing like vodka and milk. Threatening to bust caps nonstop at their shows and even at the hoes. GOAT.

I aint on Twitter but someone needs to tweet this thread to P. We want that mic presence, slick delivery and cleverness back.

No rapper dead or alive channels that gutter murder rap like P in his prime.

I ain't even a mobb fan like that but based off infamous and HOE I deem P Chief Baron of that lane.


To me it aint about complexities and rhyme schemes, it's that zone in the undertone of your delivery all effortlessly that show the spirit of the mind.

I'm goin out blastin, takin my enemies with me/
and if not, they scarred, so they will never forget me/
Lord forgive me the Hennesey got me not knowin how to act/
I'm fallin and I can't turn back

Only rapper arguable dead or alive is jadakiss.

fukk wit me:stopitslime:
