It was the best hip hop album of 2001 until Blueprint dropped.

Prodigy: “We were in Soundtrack Studios working on Murda Muzik. Mega had wanted to buy a Hav beat for his album. So Hav started playing the beat like, ‘Yeah, I’m going to give this to son.’ I recorded my verse and then Mega did his shyt later. That shyt was written way before Mega’s verse was written, in a different studio and all that. I don’t even know where Mega laid his verse down.Thats why I'm like
Cause P and Nas always been tight. Why would he jump on a track aimed at Nas?
“In his verse, Mega is taking shots at Nas. When Nas listened to it, it may have seemed like anything I’m saying is talking about him too. But I didn’t know Mega was going to do that. He did that on his own. Nas took a offense to that and got mad at me. Through the grapevine I heard that was the reason why [Nas] made ‘Build & Destroy’ about me. I just started getting word that he admitted that it was because of that song. Nas was coming out of nowhere with that ‘Build & Destroy’ shyt. That shyt was the most shocking shyt to me. I was like, ‘Why is Nas going at me? For what? What the fukk did I do to this nikka?’
“I was like, ‘This is crazy yo. He’s going at me for some shyt I ain’t even do.’ For some reason, he thought that I was either co-signing Mega’s verse about him or the whole song was about him. That was far from the truth. I have no reason to be jealous of, mad at, or have any bad feelings towards Nas. I used to look up to Nas as a rap mentor. He used to give me inspiration, so I would never come at him sideways. That would make no sense. He embraced me in their hood and there was nothing but love and respect.
“I guess it just got interpreted the wrong way when he heard the song. It’s too bad that Nas felt like that because he was wrong. He kind of jumped the gun a little bit on that by going at me because I had nothing to do with that shyt. But I never even told him that my verse was made before Cormega’s. He’s probably gonna find out for the first time when he reads this shyt.” [Laughs.]
Was Nas really pushing the Bravehearts before Mobb started recording Murda Muzik though? That was probably a coincidence.

Personal classic. That intro is one of my favorite intro tracks of all time.
But overall i enjoyed True Meaning better. It was darker and more subdued. I used to drive around at night time with that cd playing.

Yes, def a classic.
What exactly did P say?
He performed 1 of those many verses he had dissing Jay at the time. Maybe it was the learning or crawlin.
No off the cuff, fukk Jay-Z speeches in between songs?
Unfortunately nah. The audio did fukk up half way thru and 5 minutes later after they fixed it he continued where he left off at.
Mega did talk between his songs. At one point I was real close to the front and he quietly asked security if they can get off stage. Then he got on the mic and told the crowd he was there alone and doesn't use security. It was a little funny especially since half of QB was there

quality/replay value wise it is. if you constantly hang on that whole "it must have had impact when it dropped to be a classic" then i guess not but i'm more interested in the actual music itself.
