gone thru pretty much the whole album now, and the thing is if he cut like 5-6 tracks, this actually isn't a half bad project.

Last night as I listened it just all wasn't clicking except for the ALC joints and once I saw that after "Live" he wasn't back on the boards til the bonus cuts I was disappointed...then the after track 6 or so it kinda drags in the middle.

The bonus cuts are all nice tho!


"Hate To Love You" - :ohlawd:


"Serve Em" is kinda retarded brehs..

I agree. Like I said in my last post, P has made super dope music with the thugged out spoken word style, and if you look at the dates, he's been doing that style for more years than he ever did any of his other styles. He actually has like 4 different styles, but I can break that down another day.

I wold never say he's done, he's one of my 10 favorite rappers of all time and always will be. I'll ride with Mobb Deep until the wheels fall off. But I agree, a full ALC album would be amazing, and if not that, at least another HNIC 2 style album with ALC, Hav, and Roams doing all the production.

break his 4 styles down, i think i know where you coming from with this one...good shyt

Okay my man...

I will skip Juvenille Hell.

1. The Infamous style. Nothing crazy, but just standard dope flow.

2. The Hell on Earth era flow. Also peep It Was Written, I Shot Ya, and others for this flow. This was P's best style to me. Lots of ending and beginning bars with the same word. "Ice pick bloodied up your whole entire shyt / Live shyt...." "Jam like fresh Tecs out the box / Ya outboxed..." "It's warfare in the arena...we turn arenas..." That whole shyt. Incredible style and P was top 10 pound for pound at that time.

3. The Murda Muzik/HNIC style. Unique style too. This is when he started developing some of his crazier lines with over the top style violence, like throwing TVs at people, and having his chain hang down to is dikk so his piece banged glass tables. Probably his most underrated style. He started getting off rhyme a bit here, but nothing too crazy.

4. Infamy to 2012. Believe it or not P's style hasn;t really changed since about 2001. He was sick a lot during Infamy, so he sounded more tired, but the thugged out spoken word style has stayed with P since Infamy, so when people talk about P "falling off" or sounding different I always say, "He's been like this for over ten years!" Contrary to popular hip-hop lore, Prodigy has made plenty of dope music with this style (namely Free Agents, Amerikka's Nightmare, Return of the Mac, Product of the 80's and HNIC 2).

To be fair, Oh No hadn't really produced for Prodigy before this. Since 2006 it's pretty much just been Alchemist, Havoc, Sid Roams, Jake One, Sebb, and Apex did 2 on HNIC 2.

fukk it man Sebb could do a whole album with P and I'd buy 2 fukking copies of it. You never hear from that dude though.

But yea I agree. Ms. Bad Ass is dope. P sounds good on Oh No beats.

i have heard stuff unmastered in a studio that was supposedly produced by sebb and im wondering why the fukk hes not the most sought after producer in the game

good break down. i think he actually has 5 flows, the spoken word mixed with some energy that he started showing signs of on America's Nightmare (Shorty wop for example) to present. I would say he has a different style now then he had on Infamy.

Exactly. Sebb is a fukking beast. He has some beats on some of ALC's old mixtapes, like the Live at the Amphitheater joint. He's been at it almost 10 years and I NEVER hear shyt from him. Last I heard was on Product of the 80's and he's on AWAR's upcoming album on the last song. Sebb >>> 95% of the game man, for real.

I haven't heard Infamy in a while so you are probably right. I could say from A. Nightmare to now. That might be more accurate. But overall you get my gist right?

All of ya'll are straight bugging....this ain't a bad album at all with the exception of maybe 4 joints.the beats on this album is top notch to me.Prodigy has always had a great ear for beats so I'm not surprised.His lyrics and flow aint gonna be Infamous/Hell On Earth/Murda Music level anymore but he still knows how to put a tight track together.If u don't like the flow anymore just press stop on your player.........
