Prodigy's verse on Streets Raised Me

[Dusty Bake Activate]

Vision the canvas I paint a picture
Similar to Ernie Barnes nikka
But mines is more ghetto more guns more drugs, mostly thugs
All my duns, their baby moms daughter and sons
Dark blocks, with streets lamps shot the fukk out
Park benches broke, a nikka stretched out
Jumped off the roof to his death its real
Hand Ball walls displayed with the RIP mural
Those who sling, play the shadows by the building
Devils spring, keep em going while the snows blowing
Grams get dipped, 50's are moked, cookies are broke
And spliced in large pieces for the fiends to smoke
The sun set looks beautiful over the projects
What a shame, its ain't the same where we stand at
If you look close you can see the bricks chipped off
Sometimes nikkas miss when they lick off don't get clipped off
Street life




Prodigy > Edgar Allen Poe

Bumped this like 3 days ago. I always loved the hook. She sounds like a "normal" around the way chick

 

[H.S.]

P at his most poetic. Underrated Mobb song for sure.

Yeah same here. I could be wrong, but I wanna say that was Chinky? The singer from QB?

 

[TheDarceKnight]

Classic classic record.

Super super unexpected way for Mobb Deep to kick off an album that weirded me out at first (I was expecting something like Start of Your Ending or Animal Instinct) but god damn if it's not an amazing song.

 

[Billy Ocean]

There's probably not one song that reminds me of growing up in the projects more than this song. Amazing P verse.

 

[Demon]

there is an og version of this song anyone got it?

@mobbinfms ?

One of the most poignant brilliant lines in hip hop history.
Plus that unconventional rhyme pattern
P is the GOAT

Where's the leaked murDa music album. Have to look for it on my cdrs

 

[Buckeye Fever]

Album is

at almost on every song, the 1st sound is a hi hat


"Where Ya Heart At" is my GOAT Mobb Deep song

 

[MK25toLife]

One of their best songs

i still almost tear up over my one fukked up hard drive. had tons of old hard to find now mobb shyt. i had a full untagged version of 3 the hardway off napster and other untagged mp3s from that leak without the girl announcing the album. I had unfinished prodigy solo songs from before hnic with choruses and blank spots for verses that i never heard completed nor incomplete again

Yeah that's her.

The beat was very reflective and somber. P went 100% in that direction and executed flawlessly.
I see exactly what you're saying though. I'm trying to remember if the initial leak started with that song as well
