this nikka was never nice...

 

[Billy Ocean]

Prodigy in his prime was easily one of the best MCs to EVER MC in hip hop. And he did address his fall off a bit in his book. He said he realized he fell off after dudes started coming up to him telling him his shyt ain't as good as it used to be.

 

[ManBearPig]

There are at least 5 nikkas in the Wu that were better than prodigy lyrically.

 

[Jards]

Yeah it was, Prodigy was on some other shyt.

"The God P walk with a limp see, but simply
To simplify shyt, no man can go against me
TEST ME? you must be bent G don't tempt me
I had this full clip for so long it needs to empty"

"I ain't ya average cat, fukk rap
I'm tryna make cream and that's that,
Whatever it takes however it gots to go down
4 nikkas on stage or a motherfukkin' 4 pound
Speakers leaking out sound or nikkas leakin on the ground,
The god gonna get his regardless"

I always go when P raps that part. His flow and delivery was top notch

One of greatest verses of all time. Up there Nas' verbal intercourse verse for me.

comparing a terrible verse to another terrible verse... makes sense, but you call the terrible verses "one of the greatest" is where you lost me. I am now convinced I am one of the last nikkaz with a brain livin and listenin to rap.

In the mid 90's Prodigy was my favorite MC behind Nas and definitely in the top 5. I think his fall off was due to the fact that he completely changed his style

Like who?

idk how u can listen to the infamous and hell on earth and have that opinion

at least give him those two albums

 

[Disciple of the Projects]

I actually think 99% of people get that line wrong
I believe he says
This semper fi shyt, no man can go against me

It fits better with what he said the previous lines
He was going with a theme
POW, MIA, special forces, green beret, semper fi

​

The man said "TO SIMPLIFY shyt"


smh....


anyway, Prodigy resurrected himself with that Dope ass album of the Year: Albert Einstein.

I might be reaching with that line but that Albert Einstein album is asscheeks. Those ill beats couldn't save it

 

[The Ruler 09]

I'm not sure he would be a top 5 lyricist but the calibre of his shyt in his prime was high.

 

[The Ruler 09]

I like P, deep down I think he probably has a good heart but I do think the dude is a bit of a fake thug. The people he hanged round with no, P yes.

 

[Ego Noir]

Havoc was so annoying on HOE. P comes on like the prince of demons, Then you got Hav coming on like "rep yours it's all love"

I fast forward that man on any track cause up against P it aint no competition.

 

[keon]

No doubt. Don't leave out HNIC either.



first verse is one of the GOAT verses. can't tell me otherwise.. and second verse just picks up right where he left off



every new cat needs to study that 2nd verse.. shyt is textbook

That's one of my fav tracks on that album too,but I liked twin verse better then P's

 

[Ego Noir]

Feel how you will but I honestly think P's strength was that dust.

Prodigy was smoking angeldust heavy from the Imfamous to Hell on Earth and that's when his verses were plugged knee-deep in imagery.

Drugs put your mind in a matrix mindstate where you heart to heart living that shyt. When P was on it, it's like son was directly invoking demons by the name of Belial.

I find it not a mere coincidence when he quit it is when he fell off dramatically

Just my thoughts
