its crazy that he came thru with return of the macdude from like 02 to 06 was absolute trash but that was one of the best projects of the decade in my opinion. beatwise maybe one of the most cohesive cds ever
Came in to say this. P in the 90's is one of the most phenomenal MC's ever but he never was considered better than Nas.
i could prolly give you 10.
off-top & just from the mid-90s alone:
nas
AZ
raekwon
jay
big l
kool g rap
and more
There was always Mobb fans who would put Prodigy over Nas. But if we are just talking the overwhelming consensus of knowledgeable heads - absolutely they would go with Nas.My opinion is just as valuable as yours my nikka so Foh with that. As a huge fan of Mobb Deep and Prodigy fan I am telling you P was never considers better than Nas at any point.![]()

@Wacky D
Those are some great names you picked
But pretty much everyone on that list is arguable. I wouldn't be mad at all if somebody picked five of those names over P - but I wouldn't expect them to be mad if P ended up in the top 5 either.
And I know that was just mid 90s - but P was vicious through 99 (even though there was a slight decline on MM). And the overall talent level dropped in the late 90s. So P is top five in the late 90s as well.
Drugs destroy men breh. Even Eminem folded and fell off from drugs.
HoE P is still quite possibly my favorite MC but damn there's not enough catalog from that special time. He was invincible.
